Episode 53: Sports, Seasonal Depression & Maxwell the Cat
Steph and Jay deep dive into the NY Liberty's thrilling, hard-earned WNBA championship and the NY Yankees making their first World Series appearance in 15 years. But plot twist: Steph confesses that she doesn’t actually watch or know much about sports.
We later explored the seasonal changes and how they (sort of) affect our moods, before spiraling into even more tangents—including the viral TikTok sensation, Maxwell the Cat.
It’s full of twists, turns, tangents and unexpected laughs. But hey, that’s just Our MO—we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Episode 52: NY Pizza, Background Checks, and the Chaos that is the English Language
It’s been a while since it was just Jay and Steph on an episode, so this conversation was a real treat.
We got into everything from Jay’s strange background check stories and the endless debate over where “upstate” New York really begins, to the delightful chaos of the English language. Of course, we also took a serious moment to celebrate our love for authentic NY pizza (which, let’s be real, you can only get in New York) and the unmatched NY food scene.
Hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did, and we’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new intro!
Stay introverted, y’all!

Episode 51: Surrender & Flow with Jeanette Hendrix
In this episode, we’re joined by our friend Jeanette Hendrix, a teacher by day and an artist in her free time. Jeanette shares how she began her healing journey from grief by embracing her inner artist—a process that not only helped her connect with her creative identity but also led to her selling some of her artwork.
We dive into how Jeanette’s art has allowed her to surrender, flow, and tap into a different part of herself beyond teaching, as well as how it’s helped her celebrate aspects of herself and her heritage she hadn’t fully explored before.
Finally, we discuss the importance of encouraging the next generation to embrace their creative side—now more than ever.
