Should We Slow the Roll on AI?

In this episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About? we welcome our first-ever guest, Ernest (our Science and Technology Correspondent!), for a conversation about technology that seems to be changing everything: AI. We talk about what AI means for our jobs, the economy, healthcare, and education—and, naturally, spiral into some bigger questions: Can we actually control these systems? What happens when they get really good at breaking the rules? Are we anywhere close to AGI? We also get into the less sci-fi side of AI: data centers, privacy, and the uncomfortable reality that our data is part of the product. And we talk about what worries us most about the workforce—especially the possibility of eliminating entry-level jobs and, in the process, eliminating the very training ground people need to become experts. Finally, we wonder whether the AI revolution might eventually send us all running in the opposite direction, toward more analog schools, handwritten notes, and decidedly human ways of learning.

The Hobbies & Side Quests of the Millennial Woman

We’re back from summer break! In the Season Two premiere of “What Do You Wanna Talk About?”, we catch up on our summer adventures and dive into our latest millennial obsessions.. Why are we suddenly all playing mahjong, gardening, painting, journaling, making sourdough, drinking mocktails, lifting weights, and obsessing over protein? We share our own hobby rabbit holes, from face painting and rainbow cakes to the joys and frustrations of learning to oil paint. Along the way, we explore how perfectionism, social-media comparison, and the pressure to monetize every hobby are the ultimate joy-killers, and why being “meh” at everything might actually mean we’re well-rounded. We wrap up with our beautiful-things picks and a quick preview of our fall Spooktober plans. We are so excited to be back!

Temporada 1

Season Finale! Activate Summer Mode

For our Season 1 Finale, we're doing a mid-year check-in and settling fully into summer mode. We revisit the intentions we set at the beginning of 2026 and talk honestly about how things are actually going - from staying consistent with the gym to mental health progress. We also take a nostalgic trip back to the summers we grew up with: daytime talk shows, sleeping till noon, hanging out with our siblings, and the special kind of magic summer used to hold as kids. Plus, we share what we're most excited for (and dreading) this summer - from swimming season and summer reading to cozy routines, thunderstorms, and a little hurricane season anxiety. We hope you enjoyed Season 1 and we look forward to creating Season 2 together this fall!

The Women We're Becoming (Mother's Day Reflections)

Episode 7: The Women We’re Becoming (Mother’s Day Reflections) This week, we’re getting nostalgic and reflecting on the women who shaped us — especially Mom, with her fancy nightgowns, always-put-together look, and the little sayings and habits that still stick with us. We talk about the versions of womanhood we admired growing up, from Barbie and Britney Spears to Oprah, the Spice Girls, and our very mature older siblings who served as our template for how to become an adult. We also share how becoming mothers ourselves has changed us in unexpected and beautiful ways, from rethinking perfectionism to realizing what we truly hope our kids carry with them: kindness, confidence, resilience, and the feeling of being deeply loved. Plus: American Girl doll debates, muumuu urges, cracking knees, and the usual chaotic debauchery that ensues when we hit record.

We trace it all the way back to childhood (shoutout to Mom for casually letting us watch 60 Minutes segments on flesh-eating bacteria and The Exorcist way too young), and unpack how that somehow turned into adult fears of dark corners, sleeping with a leg on top of the blanket, and… basically everything at night. We laugh at our social anxieties, discuss intuition vs. delusion, and talk through the tiny “just in case” behaviors we can’t bring ourselves to quit. Plus: our spouses’ quirks, a rapid-fire superstition round, and our “beautiful things” of the week—featuring a Noah Kahan song and a genuinely hopeful update from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on an mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine.

We Regret Nothing - The Treat Yourself Episode

Life is short. Get the treat. In this episode, we’re talking all things “treat yourself” — the little luxuries, upgrades, and splurges we think are actually worth it (and which ones definitely aren’t). We dive into our personal definitions of a “treat,” from confidence boosters to carving out alone time, and compare stories about our most memorable treat yourself experiences. We explore all sorts of splurges, big and small, from good coffees to concert tickets, and we even dig into laser hair removal and daydream about what types of plastic surgery “tune ups” we feel would be worth it. We wrap it all up with a fun rapid-fire “worth it or not” game, where we each take turns naming luxuries and upgrades and get each other’s knee-jerk reactions to whether it’s worth the money. If you’re looking for permission to hire some cleaning help or get yourself an air fryer, you’ve come to the right place.

Why Does Everything Feel Like So Much Work?

Adulthood isn’t supposed to feel this exhausting, right? In this episode, we unpack why even the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming and explore the underlying contributors to that problem—from burnout and excess mental load to parenting stress, career pressure, and the constant feeling of “too much.” We vent about the little things (hello, grocery bills and endless laundry) and the bigger ones, like grief, comparison spirals, and emotional overload. Then we shift gears into what’s actually helping us cope: getting outside, setting boundaries, lowering the bar, and letting go of perfectionism. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin lately, this one’s for you.

Adventures in Modern Friendship

In this episode, we dive into the adventure—and occasional awkwardness—of making and maintaining friendships as adults. We talk about why forming close connections can feel so much easier in childhood and why it often gets more complicated later in life. Along the way, we share some of our own experiences navigating friendship in adulthood and the vulnerability that comes with trying to build meaningful relationships. We also explore the different “circles” of friendship and how each one plays a unique role in our lives. From the very real project-management side of coordinating adult friendships to dealing with social anxiety, awkward moments, and even friendship breakups, we unpack what it really looks like to nurture connection in this season of life. Most of all, we remind ourselves (and you) that friendship in adulthood might take more intention—but it’s still one of life’s greatest adventures.

Our Top 5 Favorite Musicians

Episode 01 - Show Notes: What Do You Wanna Talk About? Episode 01 - Our 2026 Intentions Hi! We are Nancy and Sarah, two sisters who love to chat, and we’re so excited to introduce our new podcast "What Do You Wanna Talk About?” - a casual conversation show where we catch up on what’s new in our lives and discuss anything and everything from personal growth to parenting to pop culture. At the end of each episode, we close with a “Beautiful Things” segment, where we each share something that brought us joy, hope, or inspiration. Because we can all use more of that in our lives, right? We’re excited to have you join us! Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and let’s get talking. In this episode, the discussion focuses on setting intentions for 2026, reflecting first on 2025 - the routines they got stuck in and the work/life/parenting balances they struggled with. For 2026, they discuss what they want to change in their lives - Nancy wants to address people-pleasing by becoming more authentic and practicing honest conversations, while Sarah aims to be more organized and responsive—to improve overall adulting—and to focus on overall health and wellness. They talk about reframing exercise toward strength and endurance, the pressure of social media parenting ideals, and the importance of being present in the lives they already have instead of waiting for the ideal life to arrive to find happiness. In each episode, they end with a “Beautiful Things” segment where they share something beautiful that brought them joy. This week, Nancy shares a passage from Matt Haig’s "The Comfort Book" about innate human worth from birth, and Sarah shares the quote she heard on National Public Radio, "You can’t pour from an empty cup," reinforcing the power and importance of self-care.
