MY FAMILY IS CRAZY
Another week, another piece of TikTok jargon for Chelsey to break down — this time, it’s “being in your essence.” The girls unpack what that even means, recap Jaci’s low-key 31st birthday, share their thoughts on the current season of The Traitors, and check in on how this year’s goals are going so far. Then things get messy as they dive into your family drama write-ins, featuring stolen breast pumps, side pieces accidentally crossing paths, and situations that escalate all the way to serious prison time. It’s chaotic, jaw-dropping, and exactly the kind of episode that reminds you every family has secrets.!!! TIMECODES !!!

2026 RESET + GOALS
What do toxic mom groups, 2026 to-do lists, and being spiritually chopped have in common? Absolutely nothing — except they’re all on the What We Said Podcast’s agenda this week. The girls break down Ashley Tisdale’s recent mom-group drama and unpack who’s really at fault (and whether she’s as innocent as she claims), then shift into new-year reset mode as Jaci shares what’s actually helping her step into a clearer, more intentional mindset for 2026. To wrap it all up, Chelsey explains what it means to be “spiritually chopped,” how to spot it, and why you should avoid being it, at all costs!// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

WE’RE BACK
The girls are starting the year real chatty, with a Christmas break recap of Chelsey’s bold — and very accidental — “bricking” from social media. Spoiler alert: it ended up being the perfect way to free up time and energy for baking, movies, and the things they actually want to lean into this year. If there’s one takeaway from this episode, it’s that life is too short to sit around over-planning your days — it’s time to start executing on the things you’ve been dreaming about doing, even if it’s just learning how to bake sugar cookies…// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

OFFICIAL 2026 REBRAND
Welcome to 2026 — the happiest, healthiest, funniest, most Valley Girliest year yet. Jaci and Chelsey are kicking things off with a little personal rebranding, starting with a life audit of where they’re at and where they want to go. This year’s plans include getting outside more, finally conquering pull-ups, drafting journal prompts that actually make you think, and reassessing how much a girl can realistically handle in a single day. Normally you’d be invited to kick back and relax, but this episode is all about taking action and stepping into your best self for the year ahead.// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

FAMILY SCANDALS
This week, the girls are wishing you a very merry Christmas Eve Eve and celebrating with a lineup of festive chaos. They’re diving into your biggest holiday pet peeves, the top dishes that should be on every seasonal table, and some piping-hot family scandals to sip on with your hot chocolate. There’s a lot of ground to cover — from potlucks with absolutely no rhyme or reason to hiding a family member’s true identity — making this the perfect mix of cozy, dramatic, and completely unhinged holiday energy.// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

HOLIDAY HOT TAKES
This week, Jaci and Chelsey debate your hottest Christmas takes, because the holiday is approaching fast and there is so much to discuss. You sent in everything from whether strangers — or even straight-up enemies — should be welcomed into festive gatherings for the sake of holiday cheer, to whether wish lists are turning gift-giving into a consumerist chore instead of something magical. With plenty more cozy controversy sprinkled in, this episode is all about questioning the traditions we’ve accepted and deciding what actually makes the season feel meaningful.// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

THE GIFT THAT HAUNTS ME
This week, the girls are chatting about the best part of this season — the gifts — until they’re not so great anymore. They dive into your submissions about the worst presents you’ve ever received, and we’re not just talking about a $5 gift card to a store you’d never step foot in. There are gag gifts gone wrong, destroyed family heirlooms, and even stories involving dead pets… yes, you read that right. This episode will make you feel genuinely grateful if all Santa brings you this year is coal.// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

WHO’S IN THE RIGHT?
The girls are tackling the dilemmas you sent in and deciding who stands where. Things start strong with a classic inconsiderate brother-in-law and quickly spiral into wedding dodgers, family thievery, and a friendship situation so confusing it practically needs a flowchart. The lines between right and wrong will get blurred, but one thing’s for sure: the Valley girls are always correct.// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!
