Have you ever had a croquembouche? Arguably the most elite dessert to ever exist, no notes. Then, speaking of no notes, Hubs accidentally subscribed Gem to a Luxuriate candle subscription, will she tell him? Meanwhile, Raffa casually brings home a library book that sends Gem into a full spiral (the healing kind) about self acceptance and parenting goals. Shout out to the DLs deep in their re-parenting era, breaking cycles and doing the work.

SURPRISE! We’ve unlocked one of our most unhinged MORE TIME episodes and honestly… we all need a good chuckle.

Happy Wednesday, DLs. Prepare to snort, cry-laugh, and question everything.

Revz no longer has termites, but now she has ants. And speaking of vermin… Sea Monkeys. Yes, those weird little packet pets from childhood. Are they cute? Are they disgusting? Then, we get into The Tribe, the unspoken elite system of women helping women. You know it, you’ve experienced it, you’ve probably been saved by it. DLs, we want your stories. And finally, we casually open the door to a full feminist spiral: reading at school, why girls seem to dominate early on, and how that somehow flips into men running the world. Make it make sense!

Mondays are a whole lot better with Lu and Bella in your ears. Lu and Bella kick off with Taylor Swift’s net worth. Then it’s a hard pivot. Bella is deep in a post–night terror reset, on a mission to fix her soul. It’s getting a little woo-woo. Lu unpacks all the new season nail trends. And also… when did crying become self-care? Are we leaning in? Spoiler alert: yes. Plus, this week’s ins and outs. Monday-itis, be gone.

Gem’s serving brand-new black cat energy thanks to a fresh bob, sharp, mysterious, and apparently… controversial. Not everyone is thrilled about the haircut, which sends us down a rabbit hole about body autonomy, relationships, and how much say (if any) our partners actually get over our appearance. Spoiler: opinions were shared. Meanwhile, Revz has a story about being left on “read” by an ex and the spiral is very real. The girls unpack the psychology of the read receipt, the temptation to double text, and why silence can feel so loud.
