Are We Close Enough for This?

The Vault Sessions | I Do… Not Anymore

Do you really want to know where Steph was April 29th?... She was at the courthouse getting a divorce! And now, one year later, she’s finally ready to open up and talk about one of the most defining seasons of her life. SURPRISE BESTIES! We’re back with our second bonus episode! In this episode, Steph shares her personal experience with divorce - from what led up to it and how the decision was made, to what the process actually looked like and everything she felt (and didn’t expect to feel) along the way.  It’s honest, a little messy, occasionally funny, and ultimately her personal experience about what it looks like to make the, kind of scary, decision to choose yourself and the life you want to live and start over in your 30’s. Grab a drink. Get cozy. It’s time to chat… A note from Steph… If you’ve ever gone through or are currently going through a breakup, questioned what it really is YOU yourself want in your life, or had to go against the “norm” and make a scary, life changing decision and basically start over - this one’s for you. While I’m sharing my experience with divorce in this episode, there’s a bigger, deeper meaning here. A broader message. And it’s that you need to choose YOU. This isn’t just about divorce. This is about life. Go apply for that dream job that seems completely out of reach. Start that business you've been dreaming of. Book the trip, or at least start saving and planning, for the dream vacation you’ve been wanting to take. Make the move you’ve been dreaming of for years. Whatever it is that you’ve been wanting to do in your life… honor it and go for it. If you take anything away from this episode, let it be this - whether you need the reminder, need permission or are looking for a sign… You only get one life to live. Live it BIG and live it for you! With love, Steph @itssteph.333

Relationships on the Radar

This week’s episode is brought to you by a real-time, active tornado warning. And honestly… that kind of feels on brand for this because we’re talking all things relationships! We’re kicking things off with some bestie catch-up and reality TV talk. We get into the latest Bravo-verse drama and talk about these very common, real life dating scenarios. We break down how the situations were actually handled by the cast members, share our opinions (and no, we don’t agree on everything!), and talk about what we would do in these situations. We then not only get into our personal experiences with relationships and dating, we also answer some of your questions that were sent in! We share the good, the bad and everything in between… you know, nothing is off limits here! Take shelter and keep one eye on the radar besties… it’s time to twist things up!

A Lot Going On At The Moment…

Our favorite astrologer, Marci of Starlight Astrology, is back with us this week and there's a LOT going on astrologically right now so we're breaking it all down for you! We start things off by having Marci answer some listener questions. We cover the topics of free will in astrology, religion and astrology, the planetary returns and the houses. Then we get into Aries season and the current astrology. When we say there’s a lot going on at the moment… we mean it! This is an especially big week because there’s an astrological event happening that hasn’t happened since 1821!! Plus, there’s a new moon this Friday, April 17th! This new moon in Aries is an important one so of course we break it all down for you. SPOILER ALERT: Get ready to make a vision board or write out some intentions... or what the heck, just do both! We talk about why Friday is the day to do it and share some tips on what to do - and what not to do. If you’ve been listening to our past episodes with Marci, you know they’ve gotten pretty deep, and some have even left us feeling a little weary of what’s to come. Thankfully, this one has us feeling a little lighter and more excited as we get into the details of Taurus season, which starts this Sunday the 19th, and what we should all expect with that. To keep the fun going, we wrap this chat up by having Marci give us a rapid fire run-through of the things she loves about each of the individual signs! The planets have entered the group chat, and it’s time you did too… DON’T FORGET! Marci will be a regular guest with us each month as the signs change! If you have questions you want her to answer on one of our upcoming episodes, send them to us! Nothing's off limits!

It Always Comes Back To This...

Somehow… no matter where we start, it always comes back to this… In this episode, we’re doing what we do best - catching up with some unfiltered bestie girl chat that takes all the turns. From the latest in reality TV (because, hello…duh) to sharing funny, slightly chaotic recent happenings in our lives, this episode is equal parts relatable and unhinged. We also take a minute to get a little raw and real - talking about what it actually feels like to be proud of yourself. The reflection, the wins, the growth and hard work it took to get you there. The uncomfortable feelings that come with the proud feeling, and learning how to acknowledge and celebrate it instead of brushing past it and ignoring it. It’s random, it’s honest, it’s funny, and it circles back in the most “of course they’re talking about this again” kind of way.  Just two besties, a bunch of random tangents, and our most talked about topic… Ready For It?

Shopping Sprees and Reality Tea

We’re back after a week off and we’re catching up on evvvveeerrrryyyyything. From the return of baseball season (let the Cardinals and Royals I-70 Showdown begin!) to our personal shopping habits and experiences, back to a full on reality tv deep dive, it’s a chaotic, laugh-filled catch-up you won’t want to miss. We get into the real details of our shopping habits and preferences - In-person or online? Coupons or full price? Stick to a list or impulse buys? Plus, we share some of our recent shopping experiences and even talk about some of our latest (big ticket) purchases. And of course, it wouldn’t be a bestie catch-up if we didn’t wrap it all up with some much needed reality TV talk! We get into the latest from Hulu and the Bravo universe (and HELLO… there’s a lot going on at the moment!), talk about the shows we’re loving, the shows we’re losing interest in and everything in-between. *Note: For those of you in the Bravo universe, we feel it’s important to mention that this episode was recorded Monday, March 30th… before the joint statement was made by West and Amanda. If you know, you know…  It’s part life updates, part shopping confessionals and part reality TV deep dive… ya know - exactly what you’d expect from an unfiltered bestie chat!
