S2 / Episode 11: Access Denied

Chelsea’s back from Maui, Kelbi and Susanne survived the big city (barely), and we have SO much to catch you up on. Before anything else, please keep our friend Brock in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers from a freak surfing accident. We are with you, Brock.Then we get real. We talk about coming out of a calorie deficit, why eating more can be scary, the weird thoughts nobody admits to having, and why being your leanest isn’t a flex (or a personality). Also: it’s okay to buy the medium. And yes, there’s a little announcement we’ve been dying to tell you.Eat the burger. Don’t give any f*cks.

Fran is BACK, and she came home with a wedding dress, a venue, a wedding planner, and enough bazaar finds to fill two extra suitcases. Then we’re giving the Dallas girlies what they’ve been asking for: our personal best-of list. We’re talking the burger that beats them all, the Eatsie’s sandwich orders we’d defend with our lives, which taco spot you need to go to (and which location to avoid), late-night pizza, our favorite workout classes, where to take out-of-town guests, vintage shopping, and the hotel bar to go to when you want to feel fancy.If you’re new to Dallas, visiting soon, or just here for the girl talk, this one’s for you.

Happy Halloween from the girls! This week we get into boundaries: with friends, in relationships, with our phones, and with ourselves. We talk about being a yes person to a fault, why you don’t owe anyone an explanation for saying no, the “roster” debate when you’re dating, and how to tell a healthy boundary from a wall you put up out of fear.Grab your coffee and get comfy.

It’s spooky season, so we’re talking sociopaths. 👻 We break down the Elizabeth Holmes documentary everyone’s talking about, explain the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath, and share stories about the real liars we’ve met.We also catch up on Paris and Morocco, a brand-new Dallas run club, and wedding dress shopping.

This week we’re getting into what it really means to be unbothered. We celebrate Chelsea’s first Hyrox Mixed Doubles, get humbled by padel, and share our thoughts on that SNL gym joke everyone’s fighting about. Then it gets real: cancel culture, internet outrage, Reddit snark pages, and why one mean comment can drown out a hundred nice ones. Plus, a quick round of Bothered or Unbothered.If you’ve ever let a stranger wreck your whole mood, this one’s for you. Follow and subscribe wherever you listen, and until next week, don’t give a single one.

Carbs aren't the enemy, and we're tired of diet culture pretending they are. This week we get into macros, why you can't eat intuitively until you know what you're eating, how snacking quietly wrecks your goals, and our own messy food journeys. Plus a round of overrated vs. underrated nutrition trends, and the usual tangents: Gypsy Rose, the ACL mud fest, and Dallas froyo drama.Follow and subscribe to The Good Influence wherever you listen. 💕

This week we're talking over-optimization, because let's be honest, we're all a little married to our wearables. Oura Rings, Garmins, ankle-monitor Apple Watch moments, sleep scores that ruin your morning before it even starts. We get into whether all this tracking is actually helping us or just giving us something new to stress about (yes, there's a word for sleep-score anxiety, and yes, we're diving in).We also unpack the wild world of rage bait, from fake "my ex-boyfriend" accounts to influencer drama that might all just be a bit. Then we close it out with a '90s nostalgia game full of Lip Smackers, Easy-Bake Ovens, Doug, and way too many cartoon printouts, as a reminder of when life was simpler. Special guest appearance from Gravy the dog, and we miss you, Chels (enjoy that brand trip, business girl).Your sign to put on some jazz, light a candle, and slow down a little.

This week we're getting into it — starting with the HYROX controversy everyone's talking about, plus our honest take on the Sydney Sweeney ad and why women in sports (and everywhere else) keep getting sexualized instead of celebrated. Then we go deep on something we don't talk about enough: money. From our first-ever brand deal rates to the negotiations that made us want to throw up, we're getting brutally honest about confidence, imposter syndrome, and why it's okay to ask for more. If you've ever felt weird talking about what you're worth, this one's for you. Follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode. 🎙️

It's just the two of us this week and we are YAPPING. We're catching you up on Park City mountain trips, a truly unhinged MLM couple selling "miracle" saltwater, and the full breakdown of the girl who pooped herself mid-HYROX race and still called it a win. We're also getting into the Sydney Sweeney sports betting ad backlash, unpacking Alex Earl's new docuseries and the whole Alex Cooper situation, plus a wedding planning horror story about room blocks and hidden fees. Oh, and our fantasy football league is officially a disaster — more on that inside.Grab your coffee, settle in, and keep giving no fucks (unless you poop yourself at HYROX — then give a few).

We've got BIG news this week — and no, we're not telling you who yet. Someone in this friend group just got engaged, and the story behind the proposal is one you have to hear for yourself. We're also getting into the NFL scammer everyone's talking about, that Good Good Golf ad disaster, and why one of us bricked her phone for two days straight.Then we flip the switch and get real about mornings — the routines, the non-negotiables, the sleep hacks nobody's talking about, and what it actually takes to become a morning person without hating your life.New episodes every week.
