This week Kate and Doree break down how they got “glam” for the iHeart Radio Podcast Awards red carpet. Then, sans guest, they chat about how they’re (imperfectly) working toward making greener life choices and what it means for their self-care practices and skincare obsessions.

On this week’s mini-ep Kate and Doree receive an update from the 13-year-old listener struggling with maintaining long-distance friendships, hear from some fellow horse lovers, reframe how we think about our voices, and discuss how we can give, accept, and ask for help.

Kate considers making her own mists and focuses on her word for 2020, and Doree shares her new self care practices: her “one line a day” journal and puzzling. Then they welcome Caissie St. Onge, an Emmy-nominated comedy writer, showrunner, and executive producer whose work includes Busy Tonight, Watch What Happens Life with Andy Cohen, and The Late Show with David Letterman. She talks about finding community on social media, creating TV that brings people joy, raising super wise and thoughtful sons, and her deep love for Prince. 

This week’s mini-ep includes our first listener-submitted theme song, a voicemail with the cutest cameo ever, and tons of empathetic advice for dating with herpes. 

Doree and Kate ring in the new year by going through their intentions for 2020. Then they welcome Victoria Fu and Gloria Lu, co-founders of Chemist Confessions, to the podcast. They answer tons of listener questions about skincare, share how their careers as scientists led them to start their site, and discuss what inspired them to make their own skincare line.

It’s the first mini-episode of 2020! This week Kate and Doree hear from a teen listener trying to figure out balancing their many activities while still having a social life, discuss skincare needs for someone with both dry and oily skin, respond to listener struggling with the isolation that comes with caregiving, and offer up thoughts for someone at a crossroads in their longterm romantic relationship.
