Drybar Is an Investment

Drybar Is an Investment

This week I'm defending some of my most controversial opinions, starting with why my Drybar membership is absolutely an investment and not an expense. We're also discussing my company's upcoming sponsored baseball game (which, to my dismay, is still a baseball game), why finding the right outfit remains the most important part of the experience, and my ongoing dislike of buffets. Somewhere along the way, we get into the evolution of school cafeteria food, why middle school wasn't actually that bad for me, the surprisingly complicated story behind how I got my name, and the childhood injustice of my sister getting a potty-training chart while I apparently got nothing. And because priorities matter, I eventually cut the episode short because I was craving chips and queso and frankly had reached the end of my attention span. As always, it's a mix of life updates, unnecessary opinions, and stories nobody asked for but you're getting anyway.

The Plot Twist I Was Hoping For

The Solidcore audition update is finally here... and I have news! After all the nerves, outfit planning, and overthinking, I can officially share that I received an offer to coach at Solidcore! This episode is a full life update celebrating that exciting next chapter, plus all the random things currently taking up space in my brain. My brother is coming to visit this week, I'm sharing my word of the week, discussing why overhead lighting should honestly be illegal, and explaining my very specific tanning requirements (pool only, obviously). We're also catching up on what I'm watching lately and my current obsession with celebrity memoirs—because apparently I need to know every detail of someone's life story. A little career update, a little chaos, and a lot of things I have opinions about. Welcome back to Charm + Chaos.

Tomorrow Is the Audition and I'm Unwell

The Solidcore audition is officially tomorrow, and I would like everyone to know that I am handling it completely normally. (I'm not.) This week I'm talking through all of my pre-audition nerves, the outfit I've decided to wear, why a fresh blowout feels absolutely necessary, and my ongoing belief that a spray tan might solve at least some of my problems. Somewhere in between the anxiety, excitement, and overthinking, we also manage to cover a few other topics that I genuinely can't remember because my brain is currently operating at 100% audition mode. Wish me luck. I'll report back from the other side.

I'm Tired, Okay?

I'm tired. That's the episode. This week I'm recapping my Colorado trip, planning my Solidcore audition outfit, and defending my new martini glasses against Ava and Natalia's relentless criticism. Grab a martini and let's catch up.

Auditions, Apparitions & Adulting

New podcast setup, Solidcore auditions, possible ghosts, and an existential crisis about how we used to function in college. This week I'm catching you up on everything happening lately—from exciting career opportunities and getting more organized to appreciating life's quieter seasons and wondering why the weather has completely lost the plot. We're also discussing haunted common areas, fraternity houses that aren't actually fraternity houses, and the physical impossibility of doing what we did in our early twenties. Grab a martini and let's catch up!
