Breaking What Broke Us: Generational Curses

Some family patterns don’t start with us… but they can end with us. 🫶🏼 In this episode, we’re diving into generational curses, unhealthy family patterns, and the learned behaviors many of us carry without even realizing it. From toxic communication and emotional suppression to relationship struggles, survival-mode coping mechanisms, and repeating cycles we swore we’d never become—we’re unpacking how these patterns get passed down from generation to generation. We share real-life examples, honest conversations, and the importance of acknowledgment as the first step toward healing. Because you can’t change what you refuse to recognize. Our hope is that this episode helps listeners identify the cycles they may have inherited, understand where they come from, and begin the work of breaking them so they aren’t passed on to future generations. Healing may start with awareness—but it changes everything after that. ❤️‍🩹  Bring a seat and join our table for this one.   Ash & Chess 💛💛

One Breakup Away From Cutting Bangs | The Breakup Episode

No names were used in this episode… but if you feel exposed, that’s between you and God. This week we’re talking breakups—the heartbreak, the healing, and the absolutely unhinged things people do after it ends. Why do we stay too long? Why do red flags start looking normal when we love someone? Why are we checking their socials while saying we’re “so at peace”? We get into blocking, stalking, breakup playlists, journaling their worst traits, and pretending a haircut fixed everything. Ash shares a deeply personal story about a proposal ending by text and how it changed the course of her future. Chess talks about being the one who has to walk away, even when love is still there, and finding closure without needing it from them. We also unpack the truth that sometimes people don’t leave because they stopped loving you… they leave because they got tired of asking for what should’ve come naturally. And yes, we end with a rapid-fire breakup game that tells you way too much about us. If you’re healing, hurting, nosy, or one breakup away from cutting bangs… pull up a chair, because you always have a seat at our table.  Love, Ash & Chess

Grinding Ain’t Glamorous Anymore

Are we chasing success… or just surviving exhaustion with cute coffee cups and packed calendars? ☕️ 🗓️  In this episode, we’re diving into the battle between hustle culture and the soft life. From glorifying being “booked and busy” to romanticizing rest, boundaries, peace, and slower living — we’re unpacking what these lifestyles actually look like in real life. We talk about which lifestyle we naturally lean toward, the pros and cons of both, and whether it’s truly possible to balance ambition with peace without completely burning yourself out.  Can you build the life you want without constantly being in survival mode? Or does the “soft life” only work if your bills are already paid? This conversation gets honest, relatable, and probably a little too real. If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, addicted to productivity, or stuck between wanting success and wanting peace… this episode is for you. As always, join our table- there is a seat for you!  🪑  -Ash & Chess 💛💛

Modern dating? A full-blown dumpster fire with cute profile pictures. In this episode, we’re diving into the chaos of today’s dating world—situationships, mixed signals, dating fatigue, lack of effort, and why so many people are showing up half-healed and half-honest. We talk about how dating can trigger insecurities, make even confident people jaded, and leave everyone wondering… what happened to old-school love? But this one isn’t just roasting the mess. We’re talking healing between relationships, dating with intention, knowing what you bring to the table, and learning from every experience instead of calling it another failure. We get into soft girl energy, independence, effort, honesty, social media’s grip on relationships, and why both men and women are feeling exhausted out here. Because maybe dating isn’t dead… maybe it just needs people willing to show up whole. So whether you’re healing, hopeful, over it, or somewhere in between—pull up a chair and join us, because you always have a seat at our table. Love , Ash and Chess

Mother’s Day Isn’t Always What You Think: The Truth No One Talks About

This Mother’s Day episode goes beyond flowers and brunch, diving into the real, layered emotions behind the day. We talk about redefining what it means to celebrate, honoring the women who’ve shaped us in all kinds of ways, and holding space for those navigating infertility, loss, or complicated journeys with motherhood. It’s raw, honest, and full of perspective—because Mother’s Day isn’t one-size-fits-all, and no one should feel unseen in it. 💛 Love, Ash & Chess
