This week we’re keeping it chill(ish) and chatting about everything from Mackenzie Scott’s “quiet billionaire” philanthropy flex to a women-only rideshare app that actually prioritizes safety—because apparently that's still a radical concept. We’re also reading some of our favorite TikTok comments (the unhinged ones live rent-free in our heads) and laughing our way through the chaos. Oh, and we do a quick dive into India’s Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, who’s running the show and making moves you probably haven’t heard enough about. No heavy agenda—just some good stories, side-eye-worthy headlines, and a little feminist sparkle to tie it all together.

We hated seeing our faces on Zoom, but loved talking to Cynthia Beach. She’s the brilliant mind behind The Surface of Water, and we’re diving into church trauma, fierce female characters, and the truth that cuts deep. From classroom memories to #ChurchToo realities, this conversation is raw, honest, and a little too familiar for anyone who's spent time behind the scenes at church.

Is he brooding… or just emotionally unavailable? In this episode, we dive into the relationships we were told to root for—Elizabeth & Darcy and Ross & Rachel.

From Darcy's insult proposal to Ross’s chronic jealousy and entitlement, we’re asking the hard questions—like, was Lizzie falling in love… or just touring real estate?
