This week, I’m sharing all the wild, unexpected moments that made the last few weeks a rollercoaster—tech glitches, travel chaos, mystery packages, and the gut-punch of my best friend breaking up with me. Yeah, it’s been *a lot*.
I take you from the peaceful beaches of Costa Rica (monkey sightings included) to LA’s most dog-friendly creative space, where I helped shape the future of hair education. Plus, a little peek into the kind of things you can casually grab at a Latin American pharmacy… you're not ready.
We also get into family history—how Sean and I are just third-gen Americans, why my ancestors took one look at NYC and said “no thanks,” and what that all means now.
And of course, I spill a little salon tea because… drama waits for no one.
If you love a mix of storytelling, travel, reflection, and real life unfiltered, this episode’s for you. Let’s get into it.

Ever wondered about the unspoken rules of *girl world* and the fine art of throwing shade—like Lady Gaga did to Caitlyn Jenner?
This episode is full of stories you *need* to hear. From an SPF fail in Mexico that left me questioning my life choices to the weird social dynamics of snubbing and the passive-aggressive mind games we all *pretend* not to play, we’re getting into it.
We’re also talking fever dream moments, unexpected celebrity run-ins, and the absolute *struggle* of picking the perfect movie night flick. It’s real, it’s ridiculous, and it’s basically like catching up with your funniest friend over coffee (or whatever overpriced drink your barista is pushing this week). Tune in—you don’t want to miss this one!
And if you haven't seen me, its because I changed baristas.

Hey there, friends! In this episode, we kick things off with some wild stories about snowstorms and the thrill (or terror) of driving through them. Ever tried doing donuts in a snowbank? It’s a lot of fun, unless you hate snow, in which case, it's a bit of a nightmare, right?
We also chat about an eye-opening experience in Vegas where a sphere took us on an unexpected ride through space and religious propaganda. Spoilers here, but there were some wild twists and turns, literally and metaphorically.
Oh, and we do our social media news round up, talk about my week in Las Vegas with the beauty brand I work for; behind the scenes and what I learned. Sprinkle in some tidbits about new trends, global fashion, and a touch of hypnotism that almost had me converting to a new 'religion'.
Buckle up, because this episode is as unpredictable as a winter storm!

Oh hey, bestie! Welcome to our Vegas adventure, where we're diving into some major life stories and, yes, even a bit of industry lore. We're here live with Kerry in Sin City, talking not only about hair and industry connections but also letting you in on some wild personal experiences—like near-death stories and spiritual awakenings.
This episode isn't shy of the personal touch—say hello to deep dives into our past, with a laugh and a nod to the lessons learned around drowning, twice! (yikes) and overcoming life's hurdles. Whether it's our opinions on brand loyalty or avoiding toxic work vibes, it's all about keeping things real and avoiding bashing while aiming for uplifting chats. And not making up stories that aren't true, while maintaining our authenticity.
Sure, we're talkin' hair trends, educational meet-ups, and the intricacies of being a beauty brand educator. But we're also sharing more about our individual spiritual paths, our 'main character' energy for this year, and how encounters with others—whether through work or personal life—echo into our choices and stories.
And finally, we mourn the loss of Tik Tok, bring a tissue.
Press play to hang out with us in this bonus episode!

We got new equipment and it's amazing, but we fucked up and by we I mean the boys. They love to hit buttons; and turns out the new fun sound effect buttons also end the recording. We filmed potentially the best episode ever and only 54 seconds was captured; on audio. BUT on video I got it all.
From Peanut the squirrel, to gross government over reaches, to the tik tok ban, dead CEOs and finally pantones color of the year and what it means. We also spill the tea on some hairstylist drama - trust me, it's juicier than a TikTok scandal.
You get to listen to the whole 54 seconds here of course, but if you want the Friday night giggle vibe, head to the link.
Link to the secret show here in the notes, we did our best to recover and add new thoughts even here, but I 10/10 recommend this video episode for the LAUGHS
None of this is advice ever, we are not professionals, we just like to start a good dialog amongst friends.
