Cousin Closet with Maddy and Emily

Baby, You're a Butterfly

And just like that, we’re back in the closet. This week, Maddy tackles her second solo episode and realizes how underutilized lace is in her closet. She takes on Emily’s challenge to “stream of consciousness this shit”, which, of course, wanders through various thoughts and tangents.  She gets into her various dreams, fear of not being taken seriously, the tendency to hold on to and ritualize things way past the breaking point, and reflects on the first time she can remember really being in her body and trusting her own intuition.  In the end, she recalls the paradigm shift the Blue Morpho butterfly has provided her, and recaps last week’s shocking run-in with someone from her past.  Get dressed and meet Maddy in the closet for a short and sweet episode with lots of self-reflection.  OH, and in the name of Taylor Swift, Amen.

Taurus Season and One Year of Divorce

It’s Friday, and Maddy and Emily are reaching into the closet for something… mystical? Both annoyed at Emily for picking this theme, they show up and turn out in their best interpretations anyway, and discuss the important distinction between capes and cloaks. Emily gets into her most recent qualms with dating, including deceptively hot Christians and men’s poorly curated dating profiles. She fills us in on her worst date yet and warns about the dangers of unsnapping your body suit too close to your date. Maddy talks astrology and Taruses specifically, her most recent run-in with her Dad reincarnated, and oh yeah, baby school. One year post-divorce, Emily updates the cousins on how she’s doing and reflects on the ups and downs of the past year, and how her thoughts on marriage and relationships have changed throughout. Enjoy!

Third (date/pink) Eye Blind

Welcome back to another week in the Cousin Closet! Emily and Maddy are finally reunited after two weeks apart, and there is much to catch up on. It's an undressed week, so get ready for them to pull more niche life lessons from one another's deepest depths. The laundry list is listing. Emily updates the cousins on her sexscapades and the presentation Maddy made to keep track of her suitors, how her stance on PDA has changed...again, somebody call 911–there’s a nipple situation on the dance floor, and the tragic hot tub downfall of “The Doctor”. They talk about their tendency to over-intellectualize in therapy and doing their therapist’s job for them, psychoanalyzing their hereditary wrinkles, the philosophy of doing more drugs as legitimate life advice, and how much Maddy embodies a certain villain who–once you see it–you can’t unsee. Good luck, and love you!

Let Me See That Sacrum Werk

Welcome back to another week in the closet. <3 Emily is popping in–fashionably late, the full moon has been full mooning, and we are overwhelmed–for her first solo episode while Maddy is... definitely not in Montana. She's taking us through the ins and outs of bodywork and introducing us to her favorite modality: Craniosacral Therapy. Of course, she first goes through her laundry list and gives an update on her San Diego dating life, including her current stance on PDA. All while sparkling in a sequin mini skirt layered over white granny panties. Get into your body and get ready to journey all the way from your head to your sacrum.

My Mormon Mission (Part two)

Welcome back to another week of Cousin Closet chaos! Maddy is taking on the show's first solo episode to give us part two of unpacking her Mormon mission. If you haven’t listened to part one of this episode, “My Mormon Mission”, go back and listen! Or listen after? Whatever order you want, angels! Buckle up for a range of stories, feelings, thoughts, and catastrophes as she sheds more light on what sticks out to her from her experiences as a Mormon missionary ten years ago. She talks about finding her inner voice, toxic positivity, “exact obedience”, accidentally getting horny when you shouldn’t be, and much more.  Amen.
