24 - Rachelle's Ted Talk

26 - Hidden Possibilities, Strategic Opportunities

In this episode of Deep and Funny, Rachelle and Alyssa talk candidly about budgeting realities, moving stress, and navigating adulthood while still trying to make space for laughter and creativity. They recap a cozy-but-chaotic book club retreat filled with crafts, clothing swaps, hot tub mishaps, and the comfort of being together without the pressure to constantly perform. It’s a real conversation about friendship, sensory overload, and why parallel play doesn’t end in childhood. The episode wraps with a deep dive into Adobe’s Creative Types personality test, sparking insights about creativity, strategy, intuition, and whether we’re wired to fix what’s broken or imagine something new—all with plenty of humor along the way. 👉 Take the Creative Types quiz yourself at https://mycreativetype.com/ and then tell us your results!

25 - I Just Found This Baby

After Rachelle hits her head at work and wonders if she’s concussed, Alyssa recounts her chaotic birthday week—a Barnes & Noble compliment that turned into a pyramid-scheme pitch, a three-hour Catholic Easter vigil, and the Pope’s impeccable timing. Alyssa breaks down some of the Catholic tenets and traditions she witnessed, from baptism to confirmation, while reflecting on what it means to find hope and faith in unexpected moments. From deep grief to unexpected joy, the two balance laughs about baby-holding mishaps and “favorite bricks” at church with genuinely heartfelt talk about loss, friendship boundaries, and learning to love better. It’s an episode that somehow manages to be equal parts existential, emotional, and absurd—in the best way. Have a question or want to share a story?

24 - Rachelle's Ted Talk

Ever started a podcast thinking you’d talk about your week, but accidentally unpacked your entire emotional landscape instead? Same. This week, Rachelle opens up about juggling too much, therapy breakthroughs, and how her love language might just be “introducing everyone to everyone.” From axolotl trivia to polyamory realizations, this one’s equal parts deep dive and delightful chaos. Come for the laughter, stay for the life lessons (and Rachelle’s accidental TED Talk). Have a question or want to share a story?

23 - Whole Candle's on Fire

What do your emotions say about you? This week, Rachelle and Alyssa take the PANAS test (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule) and compare results—one of them lands in the “passionate but stressed” camp while the other is officially the “cheerful cheerleader.” Curious? Take the test yourself here: https://psytests.org/emo/panasen.html. In true Deep and Funny fashion, the conversation spirals into unexpected territory: Rachelle giving out vibrators at a fish fry, the saga of “purse Advil on steroids,” and what it means when your whole candle is on fire (spoiler: it’s not good for wax longevity). Plus, you’ll hear about cacao ceremonies that taste like dirt, floor dancing as therapy, and whether we grew up in “ask” or “guess” families. It’s part science, part chaos, and part free vibrator giveaway. Have a question or want to share a story?

22 - Flow with the Glow

Did you miss us? We took a tiny unplanned break (small team, big lives—we’re doing our best!), but we’re back with Season 2 of Deep and Funny. In this episode, Rachelle and Alyssa swap stories about breaking furniture in the most embarrassing ways, Chipotle mix-ups that prove “Alyssa” is apparently the most popular name in town, and why driving makes one of us more tired—not less. We also dive into chaotic family birthday parties, the strange joy of road-trip naps, and the never-ending debate over whether book clubs should meet weekly or monthly. It’s candid, it’s ridiculous, and it’s exactly the kind of deep-and-silly ride you’ve come to expect. Have a question or want to share a story?
