About this episode

In the season finale, Samantha and Melissa celebrate their 90th episode with reflections on personal growth, community, and the future of the podcast.

Season Finale does not skimp on the laughter. It's sad to say goodbye to something so good but also heartfelt and filled with so much love. Samantha and Melissa celebrate the 90th episode of Skirts Up, marking the end of their “nine season,” inspired by Dr. Sue McCready’s numerology theme of creativity, expansion, and nonjudgmental teaching. Also taking note that the season unexpectedly lasted six months due to prerecording and a unplanned show shift. Melissa shares she’s stepping back to focus inward and on her shop, while Samantha teases Season 5 is already underway and may feature her solo, rotating past guests as co-hosts, or a new permanent co-host. They reflect on key lessons—“we listen, we do not judge,” curiosity, personal growth, and building a safe, loving community—while discussing frustrations, friendships, gossip, grief (Ada and Waverly), and even never before heard experiences with animal communicators and “ghost” energy. It end with gratitude, hints of Melissa popping back in, and invite audience requests.
