Mental Mudslides

Pool Floats and Cheese Graters

Your favorite semi-feral besties are back! Relocated, rehydrated, and slightly more unhinged. In Pool Floats & Cheese Graters, Jillian and Natasha reunite in the same (well, similar...) zip codes and attempt to recover from burnout by floating, grating, and maybe healing (but mostly floating). This season brings more life updates, chaotic product reviews, questionable TikTok ventures, emotional deep dives, and poolside philosophy sessions that definitely weren't approved by therapists. Whether you're here for the Snack Raft Strategy, the midlife makeovers, or the screeching toads, welcome back to the beautifully slippery mess that is Mental Mudslides.
