In this episode, we fully embrace the truth: we are not winter people, and we are no longer pretending to be. What starts with a wig being thrown away mid-event (along with a family heirloom, RIP) spirals quickly into lemon drop shots, champagne aesthetics, barefoot breakdowns, and a sledding trip that absolutely took us out for five business days.

We cover:

• Wearing wigs, losing wigs, and regretting lemon drop shots

• Snow sledding for the first time in your 30s (and why Florida people shouldn’t try it)

• Why winter hurts our skin, our souls, and our will to live

• Dating hot takes: mama’s boys, exes, and situational ethics

• Emily in Paris discourse nobody asked for (but you’re getting anyway)

• Facebook prayer requests, relationship whiplash, and being unapologetically nosy

• Fuck, Kill, Marry: Landman edition

• Football victories, emotional moments, and chaotic celebrations

• Comfort stalking your friends on Instagram

• Motherhood expectations, PTA realities, and sneaking drinks (or not)

This episode is feral, opinionated, heartfelt, ridiculous, and exactly what you’d expect when two people talk long enough without stopping themselves.

Bundle up (emotionally), grab a drink, and press play.

🎉 Happy New Year’s Eve, besties! Welcome back to The Almost Experts — aka the group chat for women building full lives (and businesses) in real time.

In this episode, we’re doing the most chaotic NYE catch-up: talking resolutions we might keep, spiraling over an Oura Ring score like it’s a final exam, dreaming of being “book club women” (but also… when??), and debating whether we’re officially entering our recession blonde era.

Also: Renata took her cat out on the town in a clear pink backpack (icon behavior), we’re flirting with the idea of getting a bird, and we revisit the most traumatic household moment of all time: Roomba vs. dog poop. (RIP.)

Plus we get into: ✨ a surprisingly incredible movie night (no spoilers, but TRUST) ✨ thirsting responsibly over beautiful actors ✨ TikTok weirdness: engagement “negotiators,” train-wreck accounts you can’t stop watching, and the wildest internet lore ✨ airport outfits, germs, and why athleisure is basically armor ✨ skydiving + parasailing stories that made our palms sweat ✨ wrapping up 2025 with gratitude, a few regrets, and a goal to take a collective chill pill in 2026
