Everything women aren't talking about…but want to. REAL conversations about the really tough issues that keep women up at night, stress us out, and wish we had a team of others to help solve. All of the things women think but don’t say or ask each other, but should. We’re going to talk about those. Get ready to laugh, cry and be vulnerable – we’re all craving it. #letsbereal
Episode 7: Why is what we see in the mirror never good enough?
We look in the mirror and what we see is Never. Good. Enough. We don’t like what we see. Somehow our bodies have become a measure of success and self-worth. Somehow, instead of helping each other out, we’re sizing each other up and quietly comparing ourselves to each other, which leads to self-doubt, sadness…and eating disorders. The reality is that thousands of women deal with body shame and eating disorders now, but we never talk about it with each other…why? Because it’s rooted in fear, judgment, our own baggage. Let's wrap our head around this very REAL issue and help women feel better.

Episode 5 - I can't believe life handed me THIS
Life throws us all curveballs. Things that completely change our day-to-day and affect everything - from a death in the family to job loss to divorce. Managing those feelings and realities are hard enough. But what about when life hands you MORE than a curveball? These two women talk about exactly that - and how they're trying hard to land on their feet. This episode is about "making do" and resilience...and there's no more perfect time than the holidays to listen into this one.
