A few months ago Brandy + Katie started a personal conversation about modern feminism. This conversation turned into a deep dive of the wild world of "trad wives" on social media, spiraled into a broader chat about what it’s like to be a woman in 2024, and veered into how social media shapes our lives and the state of feminism today. Part 1 is here for you, and don't forget to look out for Part 2 coming up next week.

We are renaming the phenomenon formerly known as the “midlife crisis”. The "midlife crisis" has evolved beyond drastic changes like ending relationships or acquiring a sports car. Instead of a “crisis” maybe it’s the opportunity for a fresh start, incorporating valuable experiences to create a new and exciting chapter, boosting connections and adding a sprinkle of magic to life. Join Brandy and Katie as they reflect on the previous episode "Blowing Up Your Life (To Follow Your Dreams)” featuring Jo Piazza and Elle Cosimano and see how they settle on renaming “midlife crisis” to simply “feral”.

Summer may be on its way out, but we know of a little slice of summer that you can enjoy all year long, today’s episode sponsor: Playa Bowls.

We have to ask the question: Is it really trauma? Or is it a trying time? The word trauma has been exhausted since 2020. EVERYTHING anyone experiences is traumatic. So we have to ask the question: Is it really trauma? Or is it a trying time? And who decides?

A huge thanks to this episode’s sponsor: Salon DM3. We love looking at a salon's social media and seeing a vast array of styles…crisp bobs, flowing layers, pixies, super long mermaid hair. The variety in styles shows me that this salon is in the business of true personal beauty and style, making each person their best, and also that they’re open to new and exciting things. And this type of variety and expertise is exactly what you see when you look up Salon DM3.

Donna Means opened Salon DM3 on Baxter Street in Athens in 2011 with the vision of giving her clients the ultimate salon experience and developing more successful stylists for her community. And boy, has she done an excellent job at both of these things! At Salon DM3, you will experience the highest level of detail and attention to your hair, the finest European hair color and a host of exclusive beauty products. Donna and her staff are constantly undergoing education to grow and learn in their trade and to serve their clients with superior skills and services. You can see their work first hand on Instagram at dm3athens, where there are also some client testimonials that really give you an insight to how the Salon DM3 experience leaves their clients feeling from that first visit to decades of visits. You can also learn more and book appointments online at salondm3.com. Get yourself into the salon dm3 for the hair you’ve always wanted!
