After a (seemingly) eternal vacation, Jill is back and happy to be in the swing of things. We love travel, but there’s an inherent anxiety in being away from your routines and sometimes, that stress manifests in stupid fights (IYKYK). But Jill’s trip is all said and done, and now we’re looking forward to getting some mediocre Black Friday deals and a hysterectomy looming in 2027.

Ep. 652: The Vacation That Went On Forever

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/11/5/21/736e49f0-f8f8-492b-85bd-cba47fb02035_tbl_651_mixdown.mp3

After a few years of some subconscious sabotage, Danny J wants to re-develop her relationship with discipline. Without the right goals in mind, discipline can feel like deprivation, and it’s easier to give up on your future self. Eating fast food feels easy, even though it’s unhealthy. Buying random shit on Amazon feels fun, even though it’s damaging to your finances. We don’t even have to think about it consciously! In an algorithm driven world, if you can’t decide what you want, it will be decided for you. So, Bestie, do you know what you want? Are you a victim to your random whims, or do you know how to flex your discipline muscle?

We girl math-ed too close to the sun, and we’re not too proud. It’s been years since Danny had a job with a steady pay check, and now that she does, she finds herself buying small things here and there with reckless abandon. $20 doesn’t seem very expensive, until you’ve made so many $20 purchases in a month that you can’t account for where your money is going anymore. So this month Danny put herself on a full spending freeze, and it’s been humbling, to say the least.

Ep. 650: Fixing Bad Money Habits

Why is it always that when a man acts shitty, it becomes a woman’s job to fix it? And we get the added bonus of being called “too sensitive” or a nag when we do! In case you missed it, comedian Shane Gillis (though he’s not really funny enough to be called a comedian) recently made a “joke” about women being “whores” for wearing shorts to the gym. Plenty of women took the time to explain why that comment perpetuates rape culture, and men everywhere blamed all of us for not being able to “take a joke.” Insert eye roll here. For too damn long, it’s been though to be a woman’s job to “fix” men, but they seem hesitant to it and we only get shamed more for trying. We’re over it.

Many years ago, we had our first ayahuasca experience, and lived to tell the tale here on this podcast. Fast forward a few years, and now Danny has experienced a few more ayahuasca ceremonies. She’s now back from a 2 week long dieta (it’s not what you think it means) in Puerto Rico, and she’s a brand new woman. Every ceremony comes with it’s own insights and perspectives, and we thought you’d like to hear how it went.

It’s been an eventful week. Hot off a big launch in her business, Jill jumped right into a brand new endeavor: getting appendicitis. In less than 24 hours, she went from closing cart to full abdominal surgery. Thankfully, everything worked out fine and Jill is doing her best to recover—which may or may not include lifting heavy weights—but this turn of events got us thinking… did this happen because The Big Guy Upstairs wanted Jill to slow down? Or maybe because she hasn’t been praying enough? Whatever the true reason, it’s clearly Jill’s fault, and not at all something normal that happens to plenty of people every year.

The thing we’re best at in the world is talking about nothing.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: men on the internet need to shut up. With every new day, there’s a new man online spewing nonsense and we wanted to chat about one such Instagram Man complaining about women who are “bad at receiving.” Cue the eye-rolls. Anyone who has been a woman for longer than 10 seconds knows that men rarely give without expecting something in return. Knowing that any good deed done for us most likely comes with strings attached has made it pretty difficult to be okay with being on the receiving end of anything.

We love a good, cathartic cry as much as the next person, but when it comes to filming ourselves crying and posting it online for the world to see… we’re not sold. Sharing vulnerably is an important part of building a personal brand, but at some point, the vulnerability can become forced, and even manipulative at its worst. Look, we’d be lying if we said we’ve never filmed ourselves crying, but filming yourself doesn’t have to lead to making content out of it. On the other hand, you can’t please everyone.

It’s been a rough week. Dolly Parton died, women are filming themselves confronting their cheating husbands, and Danny is attempting to masturbate. All that to say, we’re tired. Life in our mid-40’s looks like getting attached to our CAVA routines and going to bed by 8pm, so if everyone else could just do all the social effort for us and if men could just shut the fuck up forever, that would be great.  A celebrity death that hit different [4:52]We’re in our Misandry Era [7:00]The internet sensationalizes bad men [9:37]“You’re a great guy, but…” [13:44]The struggles are not equal [16:17]We’re tired now [19:15]Getting too comfortable at CAVA [24:38]Fridge cigs and Chobani creamers [28:16]A new 75 hard?

We’ve made a practice of not taking anything personally but maybe we should be taking things *more* personally. We came across a reel that got us thinking… if we’re all grown ups then surely we know what we’re doing when we hurt people, right?

Maybe it’s the trauma of betrayal, the changing of our hormones, or just general exhaustion, but sex is off the menu. We’ve seen enough non-contextual dicks and had our hearts broken enough time to last a life time. Opening up again sounds like way too much effort, and frankly, so does the act of masturbating. Maybe the next chapter of the Best Life looks more like the Nun Life. That’s fine by us.

Ep. 640: Even Masturbating Takes Too Much Work

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/8/12/0/4c6ee43f-834c-4fe8-8790-8d7c96df8433_tbl_639_mixdown.mp3

Life looks really different than how we once imagined it would, and we know we’re not alone in this. Maybe you never got to have the things you wanted, or maybe you got everything you thought you wanted, but things still feel empty. Whatever the situation or the circumstance, there’s a real grief surrounding it all. But there’s nothing wrong with that sadness, and when we learn to make peace with it, we can make the best of whatever comes next. That’s how we turn this shit-show into the Best Life.

Do we need to be sharing more about our buttholes in order to be successful online? This era of the internet is shaping out to be all about the personal brand, and one way we see people doing that is by sharing some really, really personal things about themselves (no exaggeration about that butthole thing). So if we need to share personal things to build our personal brands, at what point does the sharing become too much? Does the line exist at all? You already know everything about us, Bestie, but we’re not sure that the rest of the world is ready to hear some of the things we have to say. How much is too much to share?

Ep. 638: When Sharing Becomes Over-Sharing

In our younger years, being 40 years old seemed like the worst possible thing a person could be. Now we’re well into our 40’s and while we don’t feel ancient yet, we are starting to see the appeal of having a mid-life crisis. Life is short, but it’s long as hell at the very same time, so if we’re just getting to the half way point… what else is there to do out there?

We’ve been friends for 10 years now, so we’d like to think that we’re experts at friendship. It’s easy to maintain a friendship when you see each other often, but it’s taken real and deliberate effort to stay close emotionally even though we’re physically far apart.

There’s a lot of chatter about the male loneliness epidemic, but men aren’t the only ones who are lonely. Plenty of women are lonely, too, and lonely inside of their marriages and relationships. Women have been holding things down for a long time, and most of us are just tired and resentful now. For us, our saving grace is usually our friendships, but our male counterparts aren’t turning to friends the same way. What it comes down to is this: we all need varied relationships with lots of people, and the care it takes to build those relationships isn’t always easy. That goes for men and women.

There’s a lot of talk in certain pockets of the online space about “being in The Room” (whatever that means). In our experience, “The Room” is full of mean girls who only care about you as long as they can get something from you. If that kind of transactional relationship sounds fine to you, then get your ass in that room, but us?

Back for the third time since his original introduction 7 years ago, today we’re talking to Mr. JillFit himself, Keith Lockwood. At the beginning of Jill’s and Keith’s relationship, neither one wanted to get married. We all know how that turned out. What changed? What caused the change of heart, for both Jill and Keith?
