  • The Self-Help Husband: Part 1
    Jun 22 2026
    This week our guest Claire shares the beginning of a relationship that seemed to have all the ingredients of a great love story: adventure, deep connection, and a partner who appeared thoughtful, supportive, and committed to growth. But as the years unfold, subtle moments of criticism, manipulation, and shifting power dynamics begin to reshape how Claire sees herself and her place in the relationship. In Part One of this powerful two-part story, Claire reflects on the early warning signs she missed, the ways coercion can hide behind self-improvement and good intentions, and how easy it is to lose trust in your own instincts when someone else becomes the authority on your reality.Are you in the Chicago, Tampa, or Orlando area and want to come see us live?!

  • Mackenzie Undercover: Bridal Suite Talk
    Jun 15 2026

    This week we have a wild Mackenzie Undercover story, but this time Mackenzie got all the tea doing her side hustle as a makeup artist, and then ended up in a PI dilemma. What starts as an ordinary makeup appointment quickly turns into a front-row seat to a web of secrets, suspicious behavior, and enough awkward tension to make anyone sweat. As Mackenzie finds herself in an unexpected ethical dilemma, she and Hannah unpack the blurry lines between gossip, intuition, and professional discretion, all while asking just how much can really be happening behind the scenes of a picture-perfect wedding.

The stories these ladies cover are brilliant, and the content is flawless. However, there can be a lot of interrupting and unnecessary squealing when someone is telling their story. Quickly jumping in to clarify a point is fine, but it often follows from "WHAT?! WAIT, wait, wait, so..." and if you have ear buds in, it can often shake the ear drums. I think, if you're getting over excited about a story, just sit back from the mic a little. Otherwise, great work, keep it up!

Great content, but
