Who are you? What’s this all about?

We’re two women in our 30s with a shared dream: to create a space where we can talk about all the absurdities and anxieties of millennial adulthood. This includes but is not limited to work, relationships, fitness, and food, as well as parenting, drinking, writing, ordering on Instacart, and our (rapidly) deteriorating ability to keep up with the latest trends and technologies.

We met as intern reporters, and as our career paths have merged and split and crossed again, we’ve found an incredible support system in each other. Now we want to build a community of badass people striving to find the same kind of connection – and have a blast along the way.

We’ll share personal stories and expert advice (and maybe some of our own). And hopefully we’ll have conversations with all of you about how to survive and thrive in this weird, wonderful, chaotic time with our dignities intact and our jeans still chic.

What do I get out of this?

You can subscribe for free and get an email from us twice a month. We promise to inspire you and make you laugh, cry, and feel empowered to embrace your own mess. You’ll also be the first to know what we’re up to – and plus, you’ll get two new friends!
