What happens when you start off talking about bad TV and end up unpacking the moment you left your PhD program to raise your sisters after your mom died? In this episode, Stacy and Daynah take the scenic route—from media criticism to the motherhood nobody plans for, plus body politics, feminist memes, and why gratitude (ugh, fine) actually works. There’s a dog named Manly, a shoutout to a very meaningful pile of office poop, and a whole lot of “this should be a book” energy.

It’s cozy chaos meets big clarity—just the way we like it.
