opinions, oversharing, and at least one unnecessary spiral

The Plot Twist I Was Hoping For

The Solidcore audition update is finally here... and I have news! After all the nerves, outfit planning, and overthinking, I can officially share that I received an offer to coach at Solidcore! This episode is a full life update celebrating that exciting next chapter, plus all the random things currently taking up space in my brain. My brother is coming to visit this week, I'm sharing my word of the week, discussing why overhead lighting should honestly be illegal, and explaining my very specific tanning requirements (pool only, obviously). We're also catching up on what I'm watching lately and my current obsession with celebrity memoirs—because apparently I need to know every detail of someone's life story. A little career update, a little chaos, and a lot of things I have opinions about. Welcome back to Charm + Chaos.

Tomorrow Is the Audition and I'm Unwell

The Solidcore audition is officially tomorrow, and I would like everyone to know that I am handling it completely normally. (I'm not.) This week I'm talking through all of my pre-audition nerves, the outfit I've decided to wear, why a fresh blowout feels absolutely necessary, and my ongoing belief that a spray tan might solve at least some of my problems. Somewhere in between the anxiety, excitement, and overthinking, we also manage to cover a few other topics that I genuinely can't remember because my brain is currently operating at 100% audition mode. Wish me luck. I'll report back from the other side.

I'm Tired, Okay?

I'm tired. That's the episode. This week I'm recapping my Colorado trip, planning my Solidcore audition outfit, and defending my new martini glasses against Ava and Natalia's relentless criticism. Grab a martini and let's catch up.

Auditions, Apparitions & Adulting

New podcast setup, Solidcore auditions, possible ghosts, and an existential crisis about how we used to function in college. This week I'm catching you up on everything happening lately—from exciting career opportunities and getting more organized to appreciating life's quieter seasons and wondering why the weather has completely lost the plot. We're also discussing haunted common areas, fraternity houses that aren't actually fraternity houses, and the physical impossibility of doing what we did in our early twenties. Grab a martini and let's catch up!

opinions, oversharing, and at least one unnecessary spiral

This week we're covering a little bit of everything. I'm still waiting on Natalia's feedback about the solo podcast, sharing my latest mission to elevate my vocabulary and cut back on filler words, and discussing why men continue to win the award for pointing out the painfully obvious. I'm also getting ready to head back to Colorado to celebrate my grandpa's 90th birthday, talking through a purchase I've basically already decided to make, and unpacking why so many millennials seem to be embracing minimalism these days. Plus, Solidcore auditions are finally happening, and I need your best scheduling, to-do list, and productivity tips because I'm determined to get my life organized. As always, expect opinions, oversharing, and at least one unnecessary spiral.
