Fundamentally Misunderstood, The Lion’s Gate Portal & Naming Your Inner Critic

About this episode

Stassi and Taylor discuss reality TV, parenting, astrology, and their upcoming travel plans.

Stassi and Taylor start off strong by diving deep into some reality TV criticism! First up: Taylor addresses the diabolical rumor that she forced her wife's name change for the show. Stassi makes peace with being fundamentally misunderstood on TV. The duo unpack modern parenting dynamics and the unfair double standards moms face. An astrological storm is brewin'—including a total solar eclipse, a six-planet alignment, and the tail end of the Lion's Gate portal. Stassi and Taylor review their past manifestation journals to see what actually came true (shoutout to sleep-trained babies and 12-episode seasons!). Lastly, Stassi plans her end of summer Europe trip to emerge just in time for spooky season, while Taylor prepares for a first-time trip away from the baby to live it up at a Backstreet Boys concert in Vegas.
