  • Girl's Trip, a Psychic and the Best Party Trick You've Never Heard Of

    Girl's Trip, a Psychic and the Best Party Trick You've Never Heard Of
    Apr 2 2026
    This week Katy and Carol are finally together in New York City for Easter week and they have a lot to catch up on. Katy recaps her girls trip: sabering a champagne bottle at the St. Regis while the entire staff doubted her, a psychic reading in DUMBO that said she'll have 3 homes and her daughter is her reincarnation, and cocktails at a Paris-inspired bar in Brooklyn. Carol covers her flight drama from Milwaukee: a fire alarm in the Delta Club, dad getting bumped to first class and beelined it without her, and worrying about the pilot the whole way. They also get into their best hosting tips, why you should always speak up when you don't like a service, Katy's pre-birthday glow up, the matcha vs coffee debate, and what half and half actually is. Carol closes with a beautiful reflection on the four silences: dignity, patience, acceptance and surrendering control, and a message for anyone celebrating Easter or Passover this week.

  • What Happens When Your Flight Gets Canceled With a Toddler

    What Happens When Your Flight Gets Canceled With a Toddler
    Mar 26 2026
    We're back — and we have a lot to catch up on. Katy got stranded in Minneapolis mid-blizzard, solo parenting Cici in a hotel with no clean clothes while Matt escaped on the last flight out. Carol nearly didn't make it home either. It was a lot. We finally get into it all plus our current spring obsessions — from a $6 Costco wine that genuinely surprised us, to the skincare finds we can't stop talking about, to a fragrance that smells like fresh flowers on a kitchen counter. Plus the Jesse Buckley Oscars quote that made us both cry, Carol getting recognized in the Minneapolis airport, and an honest conversation about solo parenting and what it really takes.
