In this episode, Lauren and Michelle dive into the emotional rollercoaster post-election, exploring everything from grief to retail therapy. They unpack the concept of "sonder"—the idea that everyone’s got their own complicated life story—and how it helps foster empathy in a world that often feels a little too divided.
They chat about turning anger into action, why sleep might be your new best friend, and the importance of self-care when the world feels like it's on fire. Plus, they reflect on the power of community support (especially among women) and the need for mindfulness when navigating tough times. Spoiler: It’s not all doom and gloom. There's hope, there's humor, and maybe even a few good book recommendations in there.
So, if you’ve ever wondered how to survive an emotional rollercoaster and be kind to yourself along the way, this one's for you!
Hot Topics: Will and Harper, The Astral Planner, and Mel Robbins.

Get ready to embrace the dark side—no, not the spooky kind, but the kind that does wonders for your mental well-being. In this episode, Michelle and Lauren explore how the days are getting shorter, but your mood doesn’t have to. From the therapeutic power of darkness to the life-changing magic of friendship, self-compassion, and rituals, we’re diving deep into how embracing seasonal shifts can be a good thing (yes, really!).
Plus, they’re sharing how supporting each other (hello, female friendships!) can turn even the darkest days into something brighter. Along the way, the sisters touch on the launch of our new website (yay!), dental health tips (because your smile deserves some love, too), and how Martha Stewart’s journey of reinvention is the blueprint for owning your glow-up.
So grab your favorite book, a cozy blanket, and maybe a cup of something warm—this episode is your guide to thriving as the season changes. Trust us, the dark has never looked this good.
