Howdy from Jacksonville TX 🤠 Angela and Kendall had the rare joy to be together in-person for a weekend of laughing, crying, birthday and baby celebrating & experiencing the spiritual wellness space that is Hotel Ritual. Our hope for this episode is to talk about why hard things are worth it, that showing up is always worth the potential hiccups and always pays dividends in friendships, in connections, in magic & if you’re a really lucky dog- in creme brûlée. At the end of the day, you’ll forget the rain— but hold the rainbows in your heart forever. May this little audio postcard find you well. We love you.

Welcome to a personal favorite hyper-fixation of ours: cults. Lucky for you, we wrangled a cult/pop culture aficionado to add to our mania: our friend Hailie Durrett, to dissect the documentary Love Has Won.  From Reddit receipts to vanity fair to personal insights- we’re going innnnn.  Let’s back up to set the scene for the tea spillage—-  Love Has Won: the Cult of Mother God (also known as the Galactic Federation of Light and 5D Full Disclosure) is a 3 part documentary series on HBO about a woman named Amy Carlson. Our girl Amy is a mother of 3 who is a manager of a McDonalds in Houston,Texas. One day she up and disappears, changes her name, and begins leading thousands of people under the self proclamation of being a divine being (who is 19 billion years old) who birthed the entire world. Well, folks, after watching, we clearly have thoughts.  Haven’t seen the documentary? Fear not- you’re gonna get a very detailed spark notes of events.  Thank you for tuning in. It’s a wild ride, but this is who we are.  Love, your wanna be cult leaders,  Angela, Hailie, and Kendall  Say Hi: @the.unpolished Links;  Vanity Fair article referenced: Mother God, Robin Williams, and Alcohol as Medicine: Inside Love Has Won | Vanity Fair Say hi to our bestie Hailie on IG:  @hailiedurrett

Hiii- If this episode made it into your orbit, I’m sure Pluto appreciates the company. Today on The Unpolished, we talk about Pluto transitioning into Aquarius until 2044, baby name ideas (?), and a cringey tale of mid 2000s lore at the mall (with a Gilmore Girl reference, we love to see it). A shortie today, but trust- some things are better off left on the cutting floor. Next week we’re getting into Love Has Won: Mother God if you want to follow along.

We were fortunate enough to have Joanna Waterfall on The Unpolished today, to talk about the pulse of motherhood that needs a little more light shine on it. From how we navigate spirituality beliefs with young children to birth story letdown to sitting in the hardship in sleepless nights, we bring out a more tender side to the show today. If you’re a fellow parent or interested in becoming a parent, we hope you left with a tidbit or two, and we love this first standing segment on our show, giving a chance to converse with beautiful and wise mothers walking this big ol’ earth rock with us. We love you! Book mentioned: The Parent’s Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice to Modern Parents: https://amzn.to/42mTvvV (https://amzn.to/42mTvvV) Find Joanna here: @joannawaterfall Say Hi: @the.unpolished

It's a twisty road as you've come to expect on the show ranging from AI to Suite Life of Zac and Cody to Naked Attraction. In this episode, we introduce what we hope is a semi-regular segment on the pod: a listener dropped voice memo about pubic hair.. trends? We hope you enjoy, laugh, or leave slightly frightened. PS. As it stands, it's still not confirmed if Angela forgives Kendall for the cardinal offense of recommending a concealer that creased on her. Say Hi: @the.unpolished

This episode is us in our usual form, throwing verbal spaghetti at our mics for your weekly dose of unhinged. We begin with our (non spoiler) takes on saltburn, and from there it’s everything from cooking hacks to anklets,with a pit stop into serious town where we talk about how social media affects creativity. Kendall reads an article from the substack “Monday, Monday” that explains why the author chose to permanently log off.  Followed by landing the plane at boujee socks, worn out sneakers, and hairy legs.  This episode is equal parts dallying around and introspection, and we hope you enjoy the ride.  REFERENCED: Tiktok: @mac.larena Amazon jean button hack:  https://a.co/d/cImIgzT Anna Fusco of @lordcowboy  Article read from Monday, Monday- a substack by Marlee Grace  Socks: https://shop.bombas.com/ Say Hi: @the.unpolished

Episode 4 I fear we’ve lost the plot because this episode quite frankly is a mish mosh of interests ranging from the Kindle Oasis to crows holding grudges to psychics solving crimes? Throw in some poetry and face oil and you’ve got yourself the inner workings of the minds of two adhd mothers in suburbia just trying to reorient in 2024. Our promise to ourselves and to the listeners is that we would show up, disheveled or not, to invite you along to the party. We mean it with our full chest (32B and 36HH). Love you, enjoy the ride!

MOTHERHOOD EXPOSÉ In this episode, we talk about all the things we, frankly, wish other moms were talking about. We jotted down a few things we wanted to discuss, but opened up a question box on instagram to see what you were curious about hearing about. And this episode was born.  We called in our friend Leah to join the chat. We’re over the term “girl boss”, but let’s just suffice to say, we knew she’d be an incredibly valuable resource on the discussion of “balancing” motherhood/work/spirituality. The short answer is, you can’t. But we break down thoughts on: Going from 0-1 and 1-2 kids and what you wish you had known/someone would have told you The honesty of missing your pre-kid life even though you wouldn’t take it back The best parts we’ve experienced in motherhood How to create intentional space for the things that matter for you in the midst of nurturing others How to recognize what’s worth saying “hell yes” or “naw, not today” to  We hope you enjoy this convo of 3 mamas givin’ it the old college try.  As an aside: there were SO many questions that were submitted that we couldn’t get to, so we’d love to bring other mamas in continue this conversation of womanhood, motherhood, and the pursuit of caffeine in any form.  Say Hi: @the.unpolished

In this episode, we pull back the curtains on why, after 3 years of Woo Woo School, we felt it was in alignment to pivot.

Kendall and Angela got the privilege of talking with the magnetic and brilliant mind of Madeleine Frost. We get into intentional living (social media breaks, slowing down, walking away from the comparison game, the art of start) and how micro choices add up to a metamorphosis always worthwhile. We talk excitedly about how creativity is for everyone and the simple ways we can incorporate more daydreaming time into our busy lives. A huge part of Madeleine's story is when she decided to bravely share her decision to go alcohol-free and how sobriety has opened up a fuller trust in herself that snowballed into all other areas of her life. The truth always has to come within first. Join us for all the insights and truth bombs. We really loved having her on.
