Remember when having a basketball hoop mounted above the garage meant someone was rich? Or when finding a Sprite Remix in the garage fridge felt like winning the lottery? In this episode, Lexie and Madi take a trip back to the 90s and early 2000s to talk about all the random things they thought were signs of wealth growing up. From whirlpool tubs and computer rooms to Starter jackets, Disney vacations, and the Schwan's man, they're unpacking the childhood status symbols that shaped an entire generation. Turns out, being "rich" was mostly just having cool stuff and a little kid imagination.Support the showFollow us onInstagram: @WaitYoureMadTiktok: @Wait.Youre.Mad Subscribe and Listen to New Episodes on Fridays!

Ever notice how you can be a fully functioning adult… until you’re around your family? Yeah. Same.This week, we’re talking all about family triggers, childhood roles, and why being home somehow turns us back into our 16-year-old selves. With help from licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Ash Ginter, we get into the why behind it all, like what’s actually happening in your brain when old patterns resurface.We’re sharing our own stories, calling family members for real-time perspective, and figuring out how to handle it all without losing our minds. It’s honest, it’s real, and it might hit a little too close to home.Support the showFollow us onInstagram: @WaitYoureMadTiktok: @Wait.Youre.Mad Subscribe and Listen to New Episodes on Fridays!

We’re back with another round of guilty pleasures! In this episode of Wait, You’re Mad, Lexie and Madi revisit the topic after realizing they definitely weren’t done confessing the first time around. Consider this an extension of our original guilty pleasures episode—because apparently, we have a lot to get off our chests.From comfort TV and chain-restaurant cravings to doom-scrolling comments and imaginary shower arguments, the conversation dives into the little things that bring us joy, and why we should stop feeling guilty about them in the first place.The episode turns into a reminder that joy doesn’t need to be earned, self-care sometimes looks like saying no, and alone time is more necessary than we admit. At the end of the day, life’s too short not to enjoy what you enjoy.No guilt required.Support the showFollow us onInstagram: @WaitYoureMadTiktok: @Wait.Youre.Mad Subscribe and Listen to New Episodes on Fridays!

Manifestation is talked about constantly — and somehow still confusing. So we brought in Emily Childers to help make it make sense.In this episode, we break down what manifestation actually is (and what it’s NOT), why it’s everywhere right now, and what it looks like when it finally clicks. Lexie shares her “beginner” perspective — naming what you want, believing you’re allowed to want it, then showing up differently. Emily explains manifestation as energy + alignment put into action (you still have to do the work). And Madi connects it to neuroscience — how your brain filters reality based on what it thinks matters (hello RAS), plus why your nervous system state affects everything from creativity to pattern recognition.Emily shares how grief and gratitude were the starting point for her journey, why “be it until you see it” beats “fake it until you make it,” and how signs and synchronicities became little checkpoints that she’s in alignment. We also talk about letting go of control, why outcome-clinging creates lack energy, and why the real question isn’t “what do I want?” — it’s “how do I want to feel?”We also put Emily in the spiritual hot seat: crystals, tarot, readings, full moon rituals, cleansing energy, sage vs palo santo, intuition vs logic, and the airy fairy” practice she’d recommend even to skeptics.Keep up with Emily:TikTok: @emilychilders_Instagram: Emily ChildersSupport the showFollow us onInstagram: @WaitYoureMadTiktok: @Wait.Youre.Mad Subscribe and Listen to New Episodes on Fridays!

Before technology was instant, synced, and smart, it required patience and problem solving. Madi and Lexie take a nostalgic trip through millennial tech from MapQuest printouts and burned CDs to T9 texting, LimeWire, and MySpace and reflect on how growing up in that in between era shaped our adaptability, anxiety, and attention spans. A time capsule for anyone who remembers learning to wait.Support the showFollow us onInstagram: @WaitYoureMadTiktok: @Wait.Youre.Mad Subscribe and Listen to New Episodes on Fridays!

Med spas aren’t just about vanity.

Don’t panic. It is called PDRN and it is science. Most importantly, we dig into why trust, education, and individualized care matter way more than trends.If you’ve ever been curious, skeptical, overwhelmed, or quietly intrigued by aesthetics, this one is for you.CONNECT WITH NOVA MEDSPA:Website: https://www.novamedspa.org/Facebook: @N0VAMEDSPA Instagram: @nova.medspaTiktok @novamedspa_Support the showFollow us onInstagram: @WaitYoureMadTiktok: @Wait.Youre.Mad Subscribe and Listen to New Episodes on Fridays!
