This week, Krystle and Jennifer are flying high, but don’t worry; they will eventually land the plane.

Ep. 56, "Supply and Demand"

In this week’s episode of Such A FN Lady, Krystle and Jennifer kick things off with the fan-favorite segment Give a Lady Her Flowers, this time celebrating Marie Carter, owner of The Classic Shoppe.

Then, it’s time to catch up on Jennifer’s wild ride securing Cowboy Carter tickets — and the financial rollercoaster Queen Bey put us all on. Is Beyoncé’s pricing strategy out of control? The ladies weigh in on Ticketmaster, concert inflation, and whether billionaires owe us morally affordable experiences. Krystle also takes a reflective moment to share life lessons she’d pass down to her younger self — and things get real when they both open up about past relationships, regrets, and the growth that comes with age. Plus, the ladies talk bidets, Black college regrets, Spanx struggles, and the importance of intentional friendships. It’s a hilarious, unfiltered, and deeply relatable conversation about life, money, self-worth, and learning to love yourself — one mistake at a time. Tap in for the laughs, the lessons, and a whole lot of truth-telling. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 55, "Outside, Metaphorically!"

On this episode of Such A FN Lady, Krystle and Jennifer kick things off by giving flowers to the incredible Lakara, the powerhouse behind Teezy Talks podcast, the 3759 Wine brand, and Milwaukee’s go-to karaoke night. From legendary Halloween costumes to top-tier community events, Lakara’s influence runs deep—and we’re here to celebrate it all. Then, Jennifer spills the tea on being “outside” again—this time with a fresh perspective on dating. She breaks down her approach to the dating apps (hello, Bumble), why “short kings” might not make the cut, and how she’s navigating single life as a mom. Krystle and Jennifer also get into the unspoken rules of modern dating—should you be honest about seeing multiple people? And what’s the deal with men who lead with “I have my own car and house” like it’s a flex? Plus, Krystle reflects on that time she met Common (without realizing it) and the almost Kanye West connection. And of course, we can’t leave without discussing Beyoncé’s latest financial assault on our wallets. Tap in for laughs, real talk, and the inside scoop on balancing self-discovery, relationships, and just having a good time. 📌 Follow Such A FN Lady on Instagram (@fnladies_podcast) and Facebook (Such A FN Lady) to keep up with the latest! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
