| 6/25/26 | ![]() What We Learned This Season — Our Season 5 Finale | It's officially a wrap on Season 5. In this finale, Jessica and Kelly look back at the whole arc of the season — from rest and reset in February, to choosing real over perfect in March, through exhaustion and invisible labor in April, identity and worthiness in May, and joy and presence in June. They get honest about what actually shifted in each of them this season, why they expanded the show beyond "midlife" to all women, and what they're each carrying into summer. Plus — two free downloads, a Brighter Move from each host, and an invitation to do one thing this summer that's just about living. In This Episode: A look back at the Season 5 arc: Rest & Reset (Feb), Real Over Perfect (March), exhaustion and invisible labor (April), identity and worthiness (May), and joy and presence (June) Why they shifted the show from "midlife women" to all women, after hearing from listeners in their 30s who didn't feel like the audience Kelly's biggest shift: moving from "what's wrong with me" thinking to "what do I need right now" — and how that language change lightens the load How Kelly's gone from needing months to recognize burnout to catching it within weeks Jessica's biggest shift: reclaiming "Athlete Jessica" after the slow fade that came with motherhood, and what going back to Orange Theory gave her Jessica's honesty about body dysmorphia, posting outfits of the day anyway, and not giving her inner critic the last word Why Jessica's GLP-1 journey is a tool, not a shortcut — letting her body catch up to years of consistent work The "May-sumber" phenomenon and why May always seems to be the month everything piles on Reframing "stuck" as "in process" — and why the questions you're asking now are proof you're moving Two free downloads for summer: the Choose Your Own Adventure Summer Planning Template and a summer fashion freebie A shared invitation: put one thing on your calendar this summer that's purely about living, not achieving Quotable Moment: "You can reclaim yourself in small choices over time. It's not a dramatic thing — it's the accumulated decisions where you keep choosing the person you're becoming, in small little pieces." — Jessica Brighter Moves: Kelly's Brighter Move: Name one thing this season that shifted in you — a question you're asking differently, a choice you wouldn't have made before, a moment you were more present for. Write it down, because it matters. Jessica's Brighter Move: Put one thing on your calendar this week that's purely about living — not building, not achieving, just living.

| 6/22/26 | ![]() Super Woman Diaries #20: Lost AirPods, AI Decor Hacks, and Finding Joy in the Little Things | Kelly kicks things off with an epic (and hilarious) saga of a missing AirPod that turns a weekend getaway into a full-blown investigation — trash cans, lint traps, and all. From there, Jess and Kelly riff on how far audio tech has come, then dive into something they're both obsessed with lately: using AI to tackle home projects. Jess shares how she used Claude to plan a budget-friendly bathroom refresh (cabinet paint job, new light fixture, desert-themed wall art), and Kelly shares how she used it to completely rearrange her home office without buying a single new thing. They wrap up with simple, affordable ways to bring more joy into your space — plus a reminder to grab their free Joy Dressing Trend Cheat Sheet before summer kicks off. In This Episode Kelly's two-day hunt for a missing AirPod (and where it finally turned up) A quick trip down memory lane on how far wireless audio has come Budget headphone hacks for everyday use vs. real AirPods for calls Jess's $250 bathroom refresh: painting cabinets, new lighting, and the step-by-step cure time for polyurethane Using AI (Claude) for home decor inspiration and room layout planning Where to find affordable, non-copyrighted wall art (Unsplash, Etsy, IKEA frames) Same-day printing hacks using Walgreens and Capital One Shopping discount codes Why small changes — like swapping a light fixture or hanging new art — can completely shift how a room feels A reminder about the free Summer 2026 Joy Dressing Trend Cheat Sheet Resources & Links Mentioned Unsplash (unsplash.com) — free, non-copyrighted photos for wall art Etsy — affordable printable art downloads Walgreens same-day photo printing Capital One Shopping — for promo codes/discounts IKEA — affordable frames Get the Free Download Don't forget to grab our Summer 2026 Joy Dressing Trend Cheat Sheet — a one-pager with trend recommendations in a fun "try it, skip it, already living it" format. 👉 Sign up at chasingbrighter.com/newsletter Follow Us Find us on socials and TikTok: @ChasingBrighter joy, small joys, AirPods, lost AirPods, wireless headphones, AirPod Pro, noise cancelling headphones, home decor on a budget, DIY bathroom renovation, painting cabinets, polyurethane cure time, AI home decor, Claude AI, AI room design, AI office makeover, Unsplash, Etsy printable art, wall art ideas, affordable home decor, IKEA frames, Walgreens photo printing, Capital One Shopping, joy dressing trend, summer fashion trends, Real Over Perfect, Chasing Brighter podcast, Crime Junkie, Ashley Flowers, relatable podcast moments, sisters podcast, women's lifestyle podcast | 15m 09s | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() Choosing Joy Is an Act of Courage | Joy isn't something that just happens when the circumstances are right — it's something you have to practice, protect, and sometimes fight for. In this episode, Jessica and Kelly unpack the real difference between happiness and joy, why so many women struggle to fully inhabit the good moments in their lives, and what it actually looks like to choose joy as a daily practice. From the fear of letting yourself feel good, to guilt, to the mental habit of "half-leaving" a beautiful moment — this conversation is honest, grounded, and full of the kind of realness you don't find on a greeting card. Plus: joy sprinkles, banana bread matcha, and a brighter move you can try today. What We Cover: Why happiness and joy are not the same thing — and why the difference actually matters Joy as a practice: how to orient toward it deliberately instead of waiting for it to arrive The fear of joy — that anxious waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop feeling when things are going well Why women in high-efficiency mode can lose access to joy and how to rebuild that channel The guilt dimension: is it okay to feel this much joy when others are struggling? Research on joy: people with more access to genuine joy tend to be more generous and more present Real-life joy in action: Jessica's lunch with Gabby, Dom, and Gio, bathroom renovation chaos, and banana bread matcha What "half-leaving" a good moment looks like — and how to stay in it The 5% better question: small, accessible ways to invite more joy in even on hard days Brighter Moves: a joy practice you can start this week Brighter Moves: Kelly: Name one thing that genuinely brings you joy — specific, personal, not aspirational. Ask yourself: when did I last do this? When can I do it next? Then make it real. Jessica: Practice staying in a good moment this week. When something genuinely lovely is happening — a conversation, a meal, a quiet evening — try to stay in it instead of half-leaving. Add 10 more seconds of presence. That's the practice. Mentioned in This Episode: June download: Joy Dressing Trend Cheat Sheet — chasingbrighter.com/newsletter Smartless podcast (Jessica's go-to pick-me-up) Banana bread matcha at Starbucks (highly endorsed) Next Week: Season 5 Finale — Jessica and Kelly share what this season actually changed for them.

From spicy hockey romance to psychological thrillers, cozy small-town reads to historical fiction, there is genuinely something here for every kind of reader. Plus: why reading might be one of the most underrated wellness habits of all, and how to romanticize your reading life this summer even if you're only sneaking in 10 minutes at a time. In This Episode: The science behind reading as a wellness tool — including a study showing it reduces psychological stress by 68% in as little as six minutes Kelly's reminder that June is the month of joy — and that reading is one of the easiest ways to romanticize your everyday life Jess's confession: she always reads the book before the show drops, and she will always be disappointed by the adaptation. Every time. No regrets. The Off Campus series by Elle Kennedy — Jess's top spicy vacation rec (first book: The Deal; now streaming on Prime Video) Kelly's best beach bag pick: Typewriter Beach — a 1957 historical fiction set in Hollywood and Carmel by the Sea Jess on Freida McFadden's The Boyfriend — twisty, bingeable, and won't emotionally wreck you Kelly's pick for the book you'll lose an entire weekend to: Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett (The Help) Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke — a contemporary fiction born out of the "tradwife" trend, perfect for readers who want something with a little more edge Jess's cozy comfort rec: The Strawberry Patch Pancake House by Lori Gilmore (book four in the Dream Harbor series) Kelly goes a little darker: Bright Young Women — a page-turner rooted in Ted Bundy's crimes, set in 1978 Tallahassee Jess's pick for those who want some cozy cowboys: The Lucky Shamrock by Carolyn Brown Kelly's final rec: Alan Opts Out — a funny, relatable story about a successful man who steps off the treadmill and what happens next Books Mentioned: The Deal (Off Campus series) — Elle Kennedy Typewriter Beach — Meg Waite Clayton The Boyfriend — Freida McFadden Calamity Club — Kathryn Stockett Yesteryear — Caro Claire Burke The Strawberry Patch Pancake House (Dream Harbor series) — Lori Gilmore Bright Young Women — Jessica Knoll The Lucky Shamrock — Carolyn Brown Alan Opts Out — Courtney Maum Brighter Move — Jess: Give yourself permission to read what sounds fun — not what sounds impressive.

And yet. There are still days when something feels off. Not physically. Deeper. This week, she and Kelly name something that doesn't show up on any wellness checklist: the exhaustion that comes from holding things — schedules, emotional temperatures, everyone else's needs — and why that kind of tired is worth paying attention to. If you've ever snapped at someone, felt immediately guilty, and then felt even more depleted by the guilt itself — this episode was made for you. What We Talk About Why you can love your life and still be genuinely depleted by it The snap-guilt-deplete feedback loop (and why it's not a character flaw) The difference between physical exhaustion and the weight of invisible labor How depletion builds through accumulation — not crisis Why numbing (scrolling, binge-watching) doesn't actually restore you Real, honest things Kelly and Jess actually do when the system needs something it's not getting: journaling, canceling plans without guilt, opting out, asking for help, protecting sleep, choosing connection that energizes Your Brighter Move for the week: Where is my energy going?
