Listen "Swifties, Skepticism, and Spirited Kids"
Episode Synopsis
The besties are back! Stacy and Daynah sit down to talk about everything from Taylor Swift and patriarchy to ghosts, full moons, and raising spirited kids.
They go deep on what it means to become late-blooming Swifties, why friendship hits different in midlife, and how pop culture shapes the way we think about power, feminism, and parenting. They swap stories about piercings and punishments, debate astrology and intuition, and even make space for UFOs and government secrets (because of course they do).
Be prepared for a whole lot of laughs, deep dives, and side-eyes—basically, the exact late-night conversation you wish you could drop into.
