    64. Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

    The future of TWES is unclear, and today, I'm sharing all my thoughts on why. I promise this isn't a pity party episode—it's actually really fun and recaps a wonderful week and weekend, dives into Deli Dan a la Queer Eye, and then I share my reasoning on why my efforts may best be used elsewhere besides this podcast. I think I make some strong points, so tune in and if you want to reach out to me with your own thoughts, you know where to find me!

    63. Voicemail Vent Sessions | Vol. 2

    We're back this week with MORE voicemail vents from fellow listeners. From the audacity of strangers to ask when you're due (when you're NOT due) and dating being the worst, to being enraged by constant reposts on Instagram and not getting the raise you were promised, there's tons of cathartic venting happening on today's episode. Emma also shares some of her latest adventures with getting her eyes dilated, re-discovering delicious Dallas restaurants, minor injuries, and what The Millers are watching lately (including The Diplomat, Queer Eye, and Arch Digests' Open Door series).

    60. The Ebbs and Flows of Life-Long Friendship

    60. The Ebbs and Flows of Life-Long Friendship

    Family is great and so is having a life-long romantic partner, but friends do so much of the heavy lifting throughout our lives so who we choose to remain close with means A LOT. That said, people are complex by nature and evolve overtime, so friendships that ebb and flow are just a part of life. In today's episode, Emma chats about the roles friends play in your life, how to navigate shifts in the friendship, when it's time to "break up" with a toxic friend or just let it fizzle, and shares some of her anecdotes about her best friends over the years. There's so much more to be said and studied on female friendships, but this is a good start.

    59. In My 36th Era: Thoughts On the Taylor Swift Concert (feat. Whitney)

    59. In My 36th Era: Thoughts On the Taylor Swift Concert (feat. Whitney)

    On Tuesday 4/4, Emma turned 36 and decided there was no better way to spend the day than with her best friend (Whitney) and her one month old (August) as they recapped their experience at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert. Whitney is a Swiftie and has seen her three times in concert, whereas Emma is more Swiftie adjacent and this was her first time seeing her live, and they both have thoughts. Tune in to listen to two 30something millennials talk all things Taylor Swift, new motherhood, loud shows, and lots more!

Keeping it real

Wow- I may be 20+ years older than you now, but we would have for sure hung out back in the day. Thank for keeping me company on my dog walks!

Everyone should listen!

I have some catching up to do as I am new to listening, but feel like everyone should tune in and listen. Each episode is funny, real, and helpful. So happy I found Emma and her show!
