Trends We’re Loving (and Ditching)

Marie and Katie check in on life, laugh through the latest trends, and share what they’re loving and what they’re happily ditching this week. Cozy, candid, and perfect for your Sunday reset!

Aging Out Loud

What happens when you look in the mirror and realize you miss the woman you used to be? In this deeply honest conversation, Katie and Marie explore the complicated emotions that come with getting older - the grief of changing bodies, the fear of time passing, and the surprising challenge of learning to love yourself through every season of life. Marie opens up about the realities of aging that women don’t always talk about: seeing a different face in photos, letting go of old versions of yourself, navigating society’s endless anti-aging messages, and wondering if you’ll ever truly feel at peace with growing older. If you’ve ever missed the girl you used to be, worried about getting older, or struggled to embrace the changes that come with time, this episode is for you.

The Wheels Are Turning Again

In true Katie and Marie fashion, we kick off this episode by realizing we've somehow misnumbered the podcast. Proof that we may need a production team - or at least someone whose job is counting. After a few laughs, we dive into a topic that touches all of us at one time or another: anxiety. From the vague feeling that something bad is about to happen, to the overwhelming sense that life is moving too fast and nothing is within your control, anxiety can show up in countless ways. In this episode, we talk openly about our very different experiences with it. We discuss the difference between anxiety you can pinpoint and anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere, the guilt that can accompany anxious feelings when life is objectively "good," and why knowing something will pass doesn't always make it easier in the moment.

Season 2

Sources of Serotonin

This week on Sunday Self, Marie and Katie are sharing all the things that fill their cups and bring them joy- from life's biggest blessings to the small everyday moments that are easy to overlook. In a world that constantly pushes us to chase the next big thing, this conversation is a gentle reminder that happiness often lives in the simple moments: a morning matcha, the sound of birds, a walk in the sunshine, a quiet evening at home. Join us as we reflect on what’s making us smile lately, what we’re grateful for, and how we can all become more intentional about noticing the good that already exists in our daily lives. If life has been feeling a little repetitive or mundane, let this episode inspire you to find beauty, gratitude, and joy in the ordinary.

Petty Complaints & Personal Grievances

From small inconveniences to bigger frustrations, nothing is off-limits during our unofficial B*tching Hour. This episode is full of relatable frustrations, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that sometimes you just need to vent.

The Etiquette Episode

In this thoughtful and entertaining episode of The Sunday Self, Marie and Katie explore why good manners are about so much more than etiquette rules and table settings. They discuss how consideration, respect, communication, and social awareness can strengthen relationships, reduce conflict, and make everyday interactions more meaningful.

The Power of Mindset

Through honest conversation and personal reflections, we explore how mindset is shaped by experiences, self-talk, uncertainty, and the way we respond to difficult moments. This episode is a reminder that a positive mindset isn’t about ignoring hard emotions — it’s about learning how to move through them with more compassion, resilience, and intention.

Happy Mother's Day!

This week on The Sunday Self, Marie and Katie are celebrating Mother’s Day 💐 In this special episode, Katie sits down with her mom, Marie, to talk about the parts of motherhood we don’t always see — the sacrifices, fears, lessons, and unconditional love that shape so much of who we become. From funny parenting truths to heartfelt reflections on identity, growth, and family, this episode is a reminder to slow down, ask the deeper questions, and appreciate the relationships that matter most. Whether you’re a mom, have a mom, miss a mom, or are navigating your own journey with family and love — this conversation is for you. Happy Mother’s Day from Marie & Katie. 🤍
