This week's guest is Melissa Gellman Weiss — Barry's CMO, founder of Re/Gen, and one of the most honest women we've had on the show.

And we mean honest.

Melissa grew up in New Jersey but went to private school in New York City — and still doesn't lead with the NJ part. Her husband took one look at her NYC friends and said he didn't want their kids growing up like that. So they moved to Larchmont. She built a massive career — and spent two weeks a month away from home doing it.

The guilt never left.

She'll tell you she felt like a failure because her mom was the CEO of the house — completely in charge, completely present — and she was splitting herself in half trying to be both. We talked about what it actually costs a woman to choose ambition. Not in theory. In real life.

We also got into:

- Why everything good in her life happened after she got sober — 16 years and counting.

- The pressure cooker of NYC private school culture and why she opted her kids out of it.

- Why women our age are uniquely positioned to own the next decade — and why we keep underselling ourselves.

- What she'd tell her younger self now that she's on the other side of all of it.

Melissa is the kind of woman who makes you feel less alone in your choices — whatever they are. This one hit close to home.

We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.

We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.

Season 2 is here — and we have a big reveal that we are absolutely not telling you in the description because we have finally learned something about marketing.

What we will tell you: New York is giving Detroit energy, other cities are looking very sexy right now, and we just paid our taxes so emotions are running high.

This season we are smarter, funnier, and slightly more plugged in than before — which, to be fair, is a low bar. We've added Eva's SAT Word of the Week, Caroline's Favorite Meme of the Week, and a Dear Abby segment because apparently we give advice now.

We also had a When Harry Met Sally moment and realized we are both Sallys. The worst kind of woman. High maintenance who thinks she's low maintenance. If you know, you know.

Eva actually cares about fashion this year. Caroline is trying to listen more but still cannot physically stop herself mid-joke. Growth is non-linear.

We are anything but anodyne. Don't google that word. Just hit play.

We did it. Season 1 of our podcast is officially complete—and somehow, two self-proclaimed “techtards” made it to 55 episodes.

From recording our first episode with no audio to convincing ourselves we understand mics, lighting, editing, and social media…this has been chaos, growth, and a lot of laughs.

In this Season 1 finale, we’re reflecting on:

• The highs, the lows, and our favorite mean comments (honestly, some of you are very creative)
• What we’ve learned about motherhood, work, and showing up online
• How we’d describe each other (from ChatGPT’s POV…which was maybe too accurate)
• Why Caroline interrupts everything—and why Eva brings it back (eventually)
• And yes…whether the camera actually adds 10 pounds or just exposes us

We also talk about what it really takes to keep going when most podcasts quit before episode 10—and why we didn’t.

Eva went from barely opening Instagram to finding life advice in memes, and Caroline went from tech-challenged to full-blown content producer (CapCut and Canva in the house).

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, imperfect, or like you’re just figuring it out as you go, this episode is for you.

And…this isn’t just a finale. Eva and Caroline are just getting started. There are new exciting changes coming in Season 2.

Let’s just say…this chaos might be heading somewhere sunnier 🌴

Grab an expensive tequila, laugh with us, and thank you for being part of this with us.
