Bestie Before Testes

23: Solo Travel and then Some

Happy post-Thanksgiving! We open this week’s episode with what we’re grateful for and a quick catch-up before spiraling into our usual ADHD tangents. Then we dive into Kym’s solo Japan adventure—why everyone should take at least one solo trip, how travel resets your spirit, and the magic of choosing yourself. #BestiesBeforeTestes #PodcastBesties #ThanksgivingRecap #GratitudeSeason #ADHDBesties #ChaoticEnergy #SoloTravel #JapanTrip #WomenWhoTravel #SoulCare #TravelForTheSoul #NewEpisodeDrop #PodcastLife #KymInJapan #KrysAndKym #BayAreaPodcasters #ListenNow #CreativeBesties #GoodForTheSoul Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/picnic/flowers

22: Hire Me, Maybe?

The job market’s wild, and your favorite duo is feeling it. Kym’s bouncing back from a layoff, and Krys is trying to break into nursing as a new grad. It’s not easy—but we’re turning rejection into redirection and keeping it real the whole way. #HireMeMaybe #Podcast #CareerRealities #NewGradRN #WomenWhoWork #CareerJourney #JobSearchStruggles #NurseLife #LayoffSurvivor #WorkInProgress #CareerPivot #AdultingIsHard #ManifestingJobs #UnemployedButOptimistic #Resilience #BlackWomenPodcasters #WomenInPodcasting #RelatableAF #CareerTalk #LevelUp Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/picnic/flowers

21: Love Shouldn't Hurt

Trigger Warning: Abuse (emotional, physical) In this powerful episode, Kym and Krys open up about the abusive relationships they’ve endured—both physical and emotional—and the difficult journey of recognizing what love isn’t. This conversation is raw, healing, and a reminder that love should never come with pain, fear, or control. #LoveShouldntHurt #podcast #toxicrelationships #abuseawareness #healingjourney #selflove #mentalhealthmatters Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/picnic/flowers

20: "Does It Turn You On?"

Spoiler: it doesn’t. This week, the besties unpack the wild things men send thinking they’re turning us on—but really just turning our stomachs. From confidence gone wrong to full-blown delusion, we’re talking about the fine line between sexy and a one-way ticket to our "graveyards."

19: Soft Launch Pending...

So you met a man (✨allegedly✨)… now what? This week we’re unpacking the sacred art of the soft launch — aka how to subtly introduce your situationship to the timeline without triggering a curse or a commitment. Do you go with the blurry side profile? The hand on a cocktail? The story post with “this mf” and zero context?? We’re covering all the strategies, unspoken rules, and personal L’s (spoiler: one of us launched too hard, too fast). Think of it as a masterclass in digital delusion — but make it cute.
