From recent adventures and everyday moments, the conversation is equal parts relatable, unfiltered, and laugh-out-loud funny. As always, nothing is off-limits—expect candid takes, a little sass, and the kind of honest dialogue that feels like catching up with your closest friends.

But this episode also comes with a special treat…

We’re joined by a special guest from Since Pacific, who stops by to chat all about their newest song release, “Pickin’ Petals.” He gives us an inside look on his current headspace, making this episode not just a catch-up, but also a little glimpse of the next generation doing their thing.

Listen to Pickin’ Petals here!

It’s a little bit of everything—life updates, meaningful moments, and a proud mom + Auntie Cee moment you won’t want to miss.

Because if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: midlife might be a meltdown… but it’s also where some of the best stories happen.

Welcome to Midlife Meltdown — the podcast where we don’t try to fix your problems, we just make you feel less weird for having them.

Each episode, two friends unpack midlife chaos: aging, marriage, parenting, friendships, pop culture, unsolicited opinions, and the slow realization that we are now the adults in the room (tragic). Expect honest conversations, unfiltered laughs, occasional emotional spirals, and zero experts—just vibes.

Some episodes are reflective. Some are chaotic. All are a reminder that losing your mind a little in midlife is completely normal.

No self-help. No life hacks. Just real talk and shared meltdowns. Plus, it’s cheaper to Subscribe than it is to go to therapy.

There’s a family trip to Jamaica featuring sunshine, a family birthday party, and a Galentine’s Day celebration — because nothing says romance like hanging out with just your girlfriends.

They confess to the latest things social media convinced them they absolutely needed (did they? Debatable. Did they buy them anyway? Obviously). From Cricut crafting to new beauty products and perfumes that promise to change their lives in 3–5 business days, nothing is off limits. Including Brazil nut butters.

They wrap it all up with a teaser for upcoming guests, some behind-the-scenes podcast reflections, and the kind of banter that proves they have no business being unsupervised with microphones.

Same chaos. Slightly more rested. Still melting down.

The conversation zigzags from Taylor Swift’s latest music video to Galentine's Day plans and event planning advice that no one (especially anyone at Nordstorm) asked for.Things really get spicy when the talk turns to perfume—favorite scents, memory-triggering fragrances, and the very important introduction of night perfumes. Listen as they break down the notes, the vibes, and the art of layering, all while bonding over the thrill of finding “the one”… in perfume form.

They chat about career pivots, chasing passion (and paychecks), and the thrill of a truly memorable meal. Along the way, they mourn creative ideas that never quite made it off the Happy Hour napkin before wrapping things up with a dramatic retelling of the murder mystery birthday party Corianne threw for her husband—complete with friendship, theatrics, and at least one person taking their role way too seriously.

From the elite thrill of holiday eves to the unmatched satisfaction of a freshly cleaned car, they swap stories and hot takes on life’s tiniest pleasures. It’s a lighthearted reminder that happiness doesn’t always come from big moments—sometimes it’s hiding in the fridge or a gaming keyboard.

It was more a tale of timing, missed messages (literally) and a friendship born out of Friends quotes and Cosmo quizzes. This episode is hard proof that some connections don’t need a love arc to be worth the retelling.

In this episode, we break down our sacred holiday tradition featuring Christmas Olympics (where the competition is fierce and the rules are flexible), a White Elephant gift exchange that proves “thoughtful” is subjective, and a deep dive into the weird family traditions that made us who we are. A breakdown of all of the games can be found here: https://jessicanjones.substack.com/p/christmas-olympics-2025

Expect laughs, questionable strategies, and the most fun you can have with family. Grab a drink, warm up your competitive spirit, and join us for an episode that’s basically Christmas… but louder.

We talk about what this podcast might become, a recent birthday weekend, family traditions that have gotten louder over the years, and the oddly specific joy of things like game nights and reading menus like it’s a book club. It’s chatty, cozy, a little chaotic, and full of rabbit trails — which is pretty much the whole point.

We finally hit record, talked about why we’re here, what took us so long, and what we hope this little corner of the internet becomes. No polished plan. No perfect outline. Just midlife, humor, honesty, and two friends figuring it out as we go.
