It’s Not That Deep

This Is A Package Deal | It's Not That Deep Ep. 10

In this episode, AD takes us inside her Project Engage internship and explains what it was like helping a fashion brand think through marketing from a Gen Z perspective. She gets into fashion, social media, denim, Quizlet ads, Snapchat strategy, influencer culture, and why the algorithm might matter more than the influencer now. From there, the conversation turns into AD’s bigger thoughts on what she may want to do in the future, whether New York made her feel more independent, and why walking around alone makes her feel kind of tough. Edie and AD talk college visits, solo travel, social batteries, moving away, and what the house might feel like once AD eventually leaves for college. And somehow, because it’s them, they also end up talking about Chinatown bags, grapes, lobster, hate comments, Love Island fruit, and whether AI is making everything too convenient. It’s chaotic, unexpectedly thoughtful, and very much a package deal.

Boredom Is the Devil’s Playground | It's Not That Deep Ep. 09

This episode starts with a simple question… and turns into a full breakdown of how we actually operate as a mom and daughter. We get into what stress really looks like in our house, why every trip somehow turns into an argument, and the ongoing battle between being “prepared” versus just figuring it out as you go. From packing lists to GPA pressure to table manners, it becomes very clear that we see the world in completely different ways and surprisingly similar as well. But underneath all of that, we’re talking about something bigger. What is a parent actually responsible for? Is it raising a good student, or raising a functional adult? And where do emotions fit into all of that? We get into independence, self-reliance, oldest daughter pressure, and whether talking about your feelings actually helps… or just makes things worse. It’s honest, a little tense at times, and one of those conversations where you realize you’re both right… just in slightly different ways.   LETS GET SOCIAL: Edie: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/ [https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88 [https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88]) Facebook - (https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson [https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson])   AD: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/ [https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312 [https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312])   It’s Not That Deep: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/ [https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod [https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod])   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube – (‪https://www.youtube.com/@TheCastCollective [https://www.youtube.com/@TheCastCollective]) Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective [https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective]) TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective [https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective])

Maybe It Is That Deep | It's Not That Deep Ep. 08

This episode starts exactly how you’d expect… completely all over the place. We go from a house full of kids, chaos, and unexpected visitors to tennis season, Snapchat etiquette, and why a snap score might say more about you than you think. Somewhere in the middle, we spiral into prom stress, last minute outfits, missing shoes, and the ongoing debate of whether being “last minute” is a flaw or a talent. But then it shifts. We get into what actually matters. How we fight, why we clash, and the reality of a mom trying to raise five kids without losing control… while a daughter is figuring out who she is in real time. We talk about pressure, boundaries, oldest daughter energy, and what it really looks like to have a relationship that’s close but not perfect. It’s chaotic, honest, and a little more real than we planned… but probably exactly what this podcast is supposed to be.   LETS GET SOCIAL: Edie: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/ [https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88 [https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88]) Facebook - (https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson [https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson])   AD: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/ [https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312 [https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312])   It’s Not That Deep: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/ [https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod [https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod])   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube – (‪ @TheCastCollective  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC7YpEceozk8SmMiZFvNn3Hw]) Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective [https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective]) TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective [https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective])

Growing Up Online Is Not for the Weak | It's Not That Deep Ep. 07

This week, Edie and AD try to answer a question that quickly spirals… who actually has it harder? What starts as a conversation about growing up in different generations turns into a real back-and-forth on social media, school pressure, friendships, and why high school feels like a completely different world now. AD opens up about the reality of navigating friend groups, snap maps, and the constant pressure to say the right thing, while Edie looks back on a time without all the noise and wonders if it really was easier or just simpler. They get into everything from landlines and note-passing to cancel culture, college expectations, and the weird politics of lunch tables. It’s funny, a little chaotic, and surprisingly honest about how different life can feel depending on where you’re sitting. At the core of it, it’s not really about who had it harder. It’s about trying to understand each other while living in completely different versions of the same world. And like always, they may not agree… but they’ll figure it out together.   LETS GET SOCIAL: Edie: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88) Facebook - (https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson)   AD: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312)   It’s Not That Deep: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod)   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube – (‪ @TheCastCollective  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC7YpEceozk8SmMiZFvNn3Hw]) Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective) TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective)

That Outfit Is Doing Too Much | It's Not That Deep Ep. 06

In this episode, Edie and AD discuss fashion, trends, and the questionable outfit choices that haunt you forever on your mom’s Instagram. It starts with a debate over what counts as a neutral color and whether wearing black to the Iron Bowl will get you mistaken for an Alabama fan. From there, things spiral into childhood fashion trauma, neon tennis outfits, braces that stayed on way too long, and the realization that the outfits you thought were cool a few years ago… were not. They also break down current trends they love and the ones they absolutely do not, from butterfly necklaces and zebra print to the bow trend, chunky jewelry, and the ongoing hoodie epidemic. Along the way they introduce the concept of “Target glasses” which is that strange phenomenon where everything looks amazing in Target until you get home and realize it’s not. The conversation eventually drifts into Alabama rush culture, pageant trainers, and the emotional drama that can come with sorority recruitment in the South. It’s fashion advice, family roasting, and a reminder that sometimes… it’s really just not that deep.   LETS GET SOCIAL:   Edie: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/ [https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88 [https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88]) Facebook - (https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson [https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson])   AD: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/ [https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312 [https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312])   It’s Not That Deep: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/ [https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/]) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod [https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod])   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube – (‪https://www.youtube.com/@TheCastCollective [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC7YpEceozk8SmMiZFvNn3Hw])  Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective) [https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective)] TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective [https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective])
