Becoming a Dog Mom

A few nice days in March and we can’t help but feel like spring is on its way. And as our girls are enjoying the warmer weather, longer days, and bought here and there of rain, they’re also thinking about to wear. Much like the millennial clothing crisis episode, Tori and Chanel are yet again puzzled with what they’ll be wearing this spring… especially on their feet. They run through what they typically wear in spring while sharing their thoughts on what’s trending according to Who What Wear, Vogue, and their favorite influencers. From ballet flats to trench coats to athleisure, Tori and Chanel want the friends of the podcast to know what they’ll be adding to cart (or not). Plus, Tori and Chanel touch on Love is Blind (of course) with a few outstanding items. Chanel has an update regarding Sebby’s health and her mental health and Tori laughs about a walk with Mitch.

Love is Blind is back with an all new season, so you know Tori & Chanel HAVE to talk about it. This episode of Glad We Talked is dedicated to the first 9 episodes of Love is Blind Season 6 and the girls are going through the line up of contestants couple by couple. First up, everyone’s favorite Love is Blind celebrity (and no we do not mean Nick and Vanessa Lachey), but Love is Blind’s very own Megan Fox lookalike Chelsea and her southern beau Jimmy. Chanel and Tori chat about the fairness of mentioning looks in the pods and Tori shares an interesting alignment with one of the people in this pair. The gals move on to AD and Clay noting the importance of race conversations between contestants. From AD and Matthew to Ken and Brittany, Chanel notes that the show is doing a better job to spotlight race in relationships. Plus, Tori and Chanel discuss how many of the contestants could benefit from therapy and couples counseling (ahem, Jeremy & Laura). And in addition to therapy, it’s apparent that some of the couples, Johnny and Amy, could benefit from sex education classes. It’s all here and we’re so glad to talk about it this week and cannot wait to talk about it when we find out if love is truly blind.

Have you ever been mad at a friend and not sure if you should tell them or not? Or have you ever felt bad for being upset with a friend and unsure whether or not you have the right to be? Maybe you and your friend are both mad at each other and too stubborn to admit what you did wrong… well, this week, Tori & Chanel are answering the question “is it ok to be mad at a friend?” because THEY WERE IN A FIGHT! Hard to believe, we know, that our favorite pod besties could ever be in a fight, but alas, they did warn you that they have very different personalities and sometimes their friendship doesn’t make sense. The girls felt it was only right to address the fight after talking it out and sharing it with you, friends of the podcast, so you too can see that friendship fights are normal and not every fight leads to the end of a friendship! They address how miscommunication can often lead to disagreements and highlight the importance of communication and creating a safe space for each other to express their feelings. 

Don’t worry, there are some lighter topics first. Tori expresses her challenges in finding the perfect bridesmaid dress and Chanel shares a personal work experience on how she tackled her fear of public speaking. 

All the tea is in this episode!

Hello friends of the podcast! Tori & Chanel met today’s special guest, Jenna, on TikTok as she was starting out as a content creator in 2023 and now our girl is up to over 20 thousand followers! A little bit about Jenna before we get into the episode, Jenna prides herself on being genuine and relatable. She is a Southern California native who hopes to continue to grow her TikTok account and help more women feel comfortable talking about things we can all relate to.  If you've ever wondered how to grow your social media following, Jenna is sharing all the details in this episode. She shares her personal social media journey, how she built her following, and how she "niched" down authentically. Plus, Tori & Chanel dive into questions with Jenna about what dating is like in California, what the dating app scene is, and how dating has changed post-COVID. Jenna gets into the dating advice and relationship lessons she has learned, and stresses the importance of honesty and communication. As the gals chat, Jenna shares her experiences in the Newport Beach area which leads into a candid convo about body image and societal standards. Jenna also talks about her recent diagnosis of PCOS — she highlights the emotional impact of weight gain and the difficulty in finding the right solutions for her body as well as issues she has faced in finding effective treatment. She shares her frustrations with the lack of understanding and options provided by doctors, leading her to explore alternative treatments and make significant changes to her diet and lifestyle.

The job market is tough and unfortunately, we’re seeing companies laying off employees left and right. Just this week, we’ve seen massive layoffs across tech, media, finance, and retail industries. While it’s a difficult topic to talk about, Chanel & Tori are diving right into the conversation about what it’s like to get let-go from a job. Approximately 2 years ago, Chanel was part of a mass layoff, one that eliminated her position during a brand acquisition. In this episode, Chanel shares her experience of what the first 24-hours were like and what she did as immediate next steps to secure a role during her severance period. From dusting off her resume to networking during downtime to applying to endless job openings on LinkedIn, Chanel recaps how she went from fun-employed to back in the full-time grind. 

In the upfront of the episode, Tori reviews outstanding items from last week and introduces new items like Spotify Daylist Playlist!

It’s been a minute, but Tori & Chanel are glad to be back on the podcast and now on Thursdays! The hump-day episode release made sense for a while, but now they’re making it their goal to prioritize the podcast (while maintaining work, personal lives, you know the drill).  To achieve this goal, they felt shifting the day the podcast went live to Thursday made the most sense. 

And in this jam-packed episode, the girls are talking about how to set smart goals in this episode! Whether you’re looking to establish new habits in 2024 or finally achieve a New Year’s resolution, Tori & Chanel are talking about some goals they’ve set and achieved or are hoping to continue working on. They talk about the SMART strategy and the 90-90-1 method to give you some structure and thought starters. 

Plus, Tori & Chanel quickly recap what they were up to on their breaks (hello side hustle for extra cash and fitness gains). 

And what would be a glad we talked episode without a real review?! Tori brings Summer Fridays and Dior Lip Oil to the real review segment for Chanel’s expert input. 

Did we mention we’re so glad to be back?!
