How Are We 40?

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the Ashley Tisdale mom-group drama that broke the internet (and group chats everywhere). When does “being left out” cross the line into toxic—and when is it just… part of life? We unpack the politics of modern mommy groups, why they can feel like middle school with strollers, and whether every hurt feeling actually needs a public essay. OUR INSTAGRAMOUR TIKTOKOUR YOUTUBE

This week, Whit and Tay unpack their recent family getaway to Woodloch Pines—a place that exists somewhere between summer camp and team-building corporate retreat. Tay shares her latest true-crime obsession, and Whit recounts the emotional rollercoaster of losing her phone and attempting to recover it from the black hole of the Metro-North’s Lost & Found. OUR INSTAGRAMOUR TIKTOKOUR YOUTUBE

Tay + Whit are closing out 2025 the only way they know how: recapping the pop culture moments that had everyone talking. They also share their unfiltered thoughts on New Year’s Eve as a concept—and what they’re actually doing to ring in 2026. OUR INSTAGRAMOUR TIKTOKOUR YOUTUBE

Because one episode was not enough, welcome to Part 2 of our Christmas Spectacular. Whit reveals the extreme measures required to conceal gifts from her kids (who miss nothing), Tay questions the entire concept of Christmas card culture, and together they expose the advent calendar as the original MLM. OUR INSTAGRAMOUR TIKTOKOUR YOUTUBE

Welcome to our Christmas Spectacular 🎄—a surprise bonus episode we absolutely did not plan. We had so much holiday chaos to unpack that this episode fully escalated into a two-parter. In Part 1: the hospice-state of Whit’s ornaments, the lasting trauma of childhood Christmas pageants, and the truly batshit plot points of our favorite Christmas movies. 🎁❄️🎅OUR INSTAGRAMOUR TIKTOKOUR YOUTUBE

If you’ve ever said “I have nothing to wear” while standing in front of a very full closet, this one’s for you. This week, Tay + Whit are joined by stylist Caleigh O’Donnell, who helps clients identify their patterns, preferences, and core motivations—rather than just buying more clothes. Drawing on her background in anthropology, consumer insights, and design strategy, Caleigh treats getting dressed as a human-behavior problem, not a fashion one. Plus: why most style rules don’t work, how patterns show up in our closets, and why getting dressed is more about self-knowledge than shopping.

This week, Tay + Whit sit down with influencer Jackie Giardina to talk fashion fearlessness— from ignoring every “dress for your body type” rule we were fed in the 2000s to embracing full-tilt holiday sparkle. Consider this your permission slip to wear the thing, try the trend, and stop asking if it’s “flattering.”

It’s the Thanksgiving episode! 🦃🌽💫 And Tay + Whit are talking all things gobble-gobble. From the unhinged fever dream that is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to the culinary phenomenon known as Bread Sauce. Also on the docket: mystery smells in Whit’s house and a deep dive discussion on why men read like they’re preparing to lead Union troops at dawn.
