What does a drawer full of old underwear have to do with your emotional blind spots? More than you'd think.

This week, Caroline and Eva tackle spring cleaning — and quickly realize that it's a perfect metaphor for everything: your closet, your relationships, your mindset, and yes, your lingerie situation.

They dig into construal level theory (why it's easier to give advice than take it), the Jewish concept of Seder and order, Marie Kondo's fatal flaw, road rage, meditation, grounding yourself in nature, and why the best perspective sometimes comes from your friend ruthlessly going through your underwear drawer.

Word of the Week: Winnow.

Book of the Week: I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy.

We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.

We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.

Two NYC moms walk into a couch — one's leaving for Miami, the other's staying — and a third native New Yorker joins them to make it make sense.

This week Eva and Caroline are joined by Mallory Schultz — founder and creative director of luxury event studio House of Mal, former Condé Nast editor (Bon Appétit, Self, Martha Stewart's Everyday Food), and a fourth-generation New Yorker raising her own kids in the city she grew up in.

They get into all of it: what it actually means to raise kids in Manhattan, the Bat Mitzvah after-party industrial complex, why "buzz balls" are now a security concern, the magazine girlhood that doesn't exist anymore, Hill schools vs city schools, why Mallory thinks rigid women are the f--ing best, the case against Greenwich (and the missing frozen yogurt), Stockholm Syndrome New Yorkers, and the surprising fact that Manhattan is just one of five boroughs (which Eva did not know).

Plus: there's an unforgettable wedding-party-planner-seizure story you'll be repeating at your next dinner.

Unfiltered. Unafraid. Unexpert.

Death, divorce and moving are the three most significant life changes a person can go through. We're not dead. We're not divorced. But one of us is moving to Miami — and apparently that qualifies.

This episode is about why moving is so much harder than it looks. Not the logistics. The psychology. When you move you have to address every single thing you've ever accumulated. Every dress, every dish, every half-filled diary from age nine. And somewhere in all of that stuff is the question: who was I when I bought this? Am I still that person? Do I want to be?

We break down the four attachment styles — secure, anxious preoccupied, dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant — and figure out which ones we are. Spoiler: Doug and Jeremy did not marry secure women.

We get into why Caroline cried saying goodbye to empty walls, and thanked the house out loud. Why she has 35 diaries with one line each and cannot explain it. And why Eva's grandmother threw her wedding album in the trash, and what that says about all of us.

We also recommend the book The Postcard, which will make you rethink everything you've ever thrown away. And we end with the Tech Tard moment of the week, which involves Caroline uploading an unedited video to Spotify. We're owning it.

Word of the week: Anthropomorphize. And we learned what potpourri means. We were both right.
