Mentally Buffering

Turning 21

Our cousin recently turned 21, and naturally, it sent us straight into a nostalgia spiral. In this episode, we look back at who we were at 21 — what we thought adulthood would be, what we were excited about, and what we absolutely had no business doing. From first legal drinks to questionable decisions, big dreams, and realizing we were not as grown as we thought, we talk about the chaos and innocence of early adulthood. It’s funny, honest, a little embarrassing, and full of love for the younger versions of us who were just trying to figure life out.

Childhood Nostalgia

This week’s episode is basically one big “wait… you did that too?!” moment. From MySpace profiles to after-school snacks and everything in between, we’re taking it back to our childhood—90s babies, early 2000s chaos. We talk about the little things that somehow defined all of us, from customizing our profiles like it was a full-time job to the shows, trends, and phases we swore were our personality. Even though we grew up in different ways, it really feels like we all lived the same childhood… just in slightly different fonts. It’s nostalgic, a little chaotic, and guaranteed to unlock a core memory or two.

From Mom, With Love FT. Our Mama

This week, we sit down with our mom to talk about the life she imagined before she had us — and the one she built instead. From coming to the U.S. without knowing the language, to raising three daughters while figuring it all out in real time, we hear the stories we never fully understood growing up. We also flip the script and share childhood moments we never told her… until now. It’s honest, emotional, a little chaotic, and full of the kind of love that doesn’t always get said out loud.

If I Could Text My Younger Self

This one gets a little reflective… but don’t worry, we still keep it real. We talk about who we thought we’d be by now versus who we actually became — from single life to relationships to marriage and motherhood. If we could text our younger selves, would we warn her… or let her learn the hard way? We also put each other on the spot and ask the real question: could we survive each other’s lives? It’s honest, a little chaotic, and a reminder that even if life didn’t go how we planned… it might still be exactly how it’s meant to go.

Behind the Scenes

We made it to episode 10… and we’re exposing everything. In this milestone episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of OMJ — the chaos, the things we cut out, the moments that almost didn’t make it, and what podcasting is actually like for us. From technical issues to talking over each other to completely losing the plot, this episode is unfiltered and a little too honest. It’s messy, funny, and very on brand — because what you hear is only half the story.
