The Spill at Rise

Perfection Is a Trap

Perfection sounds productive… but it’s usually just fear in disguise. We’re talking about progress, momentum, and why taking action (even if it’s messy) is what actually moves your life forward.

Normalize Thinking You’re Great

In this episode, we’re officially normalizing thinking highly of yourself. We talk about confidence vs ego, why people get uncomfortable when you know your worth, and how being secure actually makes life more fun. Equal parts laughs, honesty, and gentle call-outs.

Pop Culture Playback: Sarah and Haley's 2025 Favorites

Before we fully move on, Haley and Sarah are hitting pause to look back at pop culture in 2025. This episode is a recap of the moments that stuck with us — viral trends, celebrity moments, internet conversations, and cultural shifts that shaped the year in small (and big) ways. It’s fun, reflective, and very much a “remember when this happened?” kind of conversation.

Goal-Adjacent Conversations for Girls Who Get Distracted Easily

In this chaotic-but-cute episode, Traci and Haley attempt — like, really attempt — to set goals and intentions for the new year without getting completely sidetracked. We talk about the vibes we’re bringing into next year, the energy we’re leaving behind, and the questionable choices we made over the weekend. It’s silly, unserious, and full of the kind of girl math logic that somehow makes sense. Perfect for anyone who wants to enter the new year laughing and only slightly more put together.

Picking the Right Fig: Embracing Change, Letting Go, and Choosing Your Life

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the truth that change isn’t always something to fear—sometimes it’s exactly what we need. Inspired by the famous fig tree analogy from The Bell Jar, we chat about how overwhelming it can feel to choose a path… and how empowering it is to finally pick a fig and trust yourself. We also get real about why we assume everyone is “going through something,” and how freeing it can be to release that narrative and give people (and ourselves) a little more grace. Traci shares her own recent perspective shifts and the ways she’s learning to welcome change instead of resisting it. Plus, our pop culture moment is stacked: we break down our current show recs, all the Dancing With the Stars drama, and of course—Traci’s sports corner makes a triumphant return. A cozy, reflective, and surprisingly uplifting episode about choosing your life, trusting the timing, and remembering that not every change is a crisis.
