The future of TWES is unclear, and today, I'm sharing all my thoughts on why. I promise this isn't a pity party episode—it's actually really fun and recaps a wonderful week and weekend, dives into Deli Dan a la Queer Eye, and then I share my reasoning on why my efforts may best be used elsewhere besides this podcast. I think I make some strong points, so tune in and if you want to reach out to me with your own thoughts, you know where to find me!

64. Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

We're back this week with MORE voicemail vents from fellow listeners. From the audacity of strangers to ask when you're due (when you're NOT due) and dating being the worst, to being enraged by constant reposts on Instagram and not getting the raise you were promised, there's tons of cathartic venting happening on today's episode. Emma also shares some of her latest adventures with getting her eyes dilated, re-discovering delicious Dallas restaurants, minor injuries, and what The Millers are watching lately (including The Diplomat, Queer Eye, and Arch Digests' Open Door series).

61. Perfectly Unhinged: A Mother/Daughter Episode with Ellen

Family is great and so is having a life-long romantic partner, but friends do so much of the heavy lifting throughout our lives so who we choose to remain close with means A LOT. That said, people are complex by nature and evolve overtime, so friendships that ebb and flow are just a part of life. In today's episode, Emma chats about the roles friends play in your life, how to navigate shifts in the friendship, when it's time to "break up" with a toxic friend or just let it fizzle, and shares some of her anecdotes about her best friends over the years. There's so much more to be said and studied on female friendships, but this is a good start.

60. The Ebbs and Flows of Life-Long Friendship

On Tuesday 4/4, Emma turned 36 and decided there was no better way to spend the day than with her best friend (Whitney) and her one month old (August) as they recapped their experience at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert. Whitney is a Swiftie and has seen her three times in concert, whereas Emma is more Swiftie adjacent and this was her first time seeing her live, and they both have thoughts.

59. In My 36th Era: Thoughts On the Taylor Swift Concert (feat. Whitney)

I met Stephanie Geddie my freshman year of college at the University of Kansas, and we've been friends ever since. Geddie is our smartest friend (we've discussed this—I'm not offending anyone by stating this fact) who decided to do a 180º with her career, going from marketing to the healthcare field as an ER nurse. In this episode, Geddie shares how she realized she was in the wrong field in her late 20s, and how she pressed the reset button to get to where she is today. It's a bad ass story, and I couldn't be prouder to call her Stephanie Anne Marie Geddie German.  — Show edited by Alyssa Chrisope — Follow TWES on Instagram — Sign up for The Weekly Digress (an EMMASTHING newsletter) — Follow EMMASTHING on Instagram

This week, sparked by a listener email, Emma gets on the mic to share some long suppressed thoughts about the wide world of influencing and who she refers to as "new age influencers." She offers her POV on the de-influencing trend, how some influencers are bastardizing and capitalizing from it, toxic vulnerability, and a lot more that she's been keeping a cap on for years. She also talks about how good the Moulin Rouge musical is, shares a few TV recs, and shares some super edgy, fun news that happened over the weekend!Mentioned in this episode: Moulin Rouge tickets Clifton Club (Dallas bar) Beverly's (Dallas restaurant) Truckyard (Dallas bar) Lessons in Chemistry (book) High Maintenance (TV show on HBO)  Too Funny to Fail: The Life &amp; Death of the Dana Carvey Show (HULU)  Dance 100 (Netflix)  Taylor Swift Eras Tour Playlist  Miley Cyrus on Joe Rogan  The Rogue EssentialsShow edited by Alyssa ChrisopeFollow TWES on InstagramSign up for The Weekly Digress (an EMMASTHING newsletter)Follow EMMASTHING on Instagram

57. De-Influencing Drama and the Influencer Industry

"Intentions mean nothing without action." This is the hard-won lesson Emma's had to learn and re-learn over the last few years when it comes to diet and exercise and, on today's episode, she's (power)walking you through it all from her POV. It all started in 2019 when she hired her personal trainer, Meg Morat, and it's been a rollercoaster ever since. In this episode, she's sharing the details about her weekly regime assigned by Meg, her commitment to re-dedicate herself to it at the start of this year, and what staying consistent has done for her so far. She speaks to motivation versus discipline, and what role each play in the never-ending game of consistency. Of course, as usual, she starts the episode with a recap of her weekend, including babies, St Patrick's Day shenanigans, and a terrible brunch, and shares her reviews of the Chris Rock special, the Marlon Wayans special, History of the World Part II, Crashing, and both Miley Cyrus's new album and Coldxman's new album.

55. Sun, Sand, and Seafood: A Much-Needed Escape to Cabo

With 13 years under her blogging belt and 35+ years as an exceptionally anxious person, writer Emma Golden Miller has mastered the art of making the everyday ordinary as extraordinary as possible via her website, EMMASTHING.com. Now she's decided to spend each week talking at you about her latest goings-on from personal updates and stories, to what she's reading/watching/listening to at the moment and everything in between. Listen every week to hear an anxious but otherwise relatively normal woman drop F-bombs, make jokes, and talk about nothing yet everything.

This week, Emma asked her longest-standing best friend to join her on the podcast to discuss what it's like to be mom with a full-time, director-level role in the marketing industry. Kelley and Emma give a bit of their backstory, and Kelley explains her career journey, what makes a bad manager versus a good manager, being a powerful woman amongst male colleagues, and her undying love for Ludacris. During the WTH and RWL segments, Emma explores her relationship with Instagram and instant gratification, shares an exciting update about goings-on at the house, and discusses initial thoughts about a new podcast whose topic is J.K. Rowling. Also for those that plan to partake, the book of the month for March is Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus!Mentioned in this episode:My next book: The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna(Film) Executive Decision(Podcast) The Witch Trials of J.K.

54. Somehow I Manage with Director of Shopper Marketing, Kelley McIntyre

I'm not a book podcast, we know this. But I have gotten back into reading in a big way this year, so I figured it'd be fun to attempt a Book of the Month situation on the podcast. Unclear if we'll do it again, but hey—can't say we didn't attempt it.

I'm not a book podcast, we know this. But I have gotten back into reading in a big way this year, so I figured it'd be fun to attempt a Book of the Month situation on the podcast. Unclear if we'll do it again, but hey—can't say we didn't attempt it.

53. The New Era of EMMASTHING + An Attempted "Book of the Month" Episode

In this week's episode, Emma answers some listener-submitted love advice questions that cover a variety of topics from keeping your sense of independence when moving in with your partner, why exes seem to magically appear nicer post-breakup, what to do when you make all the decisions in the relationship, and why you shouldn't feel behind if you're 34 and single. Emma also recounts a vodka-fueled Friday night clad with screaming Miley Cyrus lyrics, sobbing over the inevitable passing of her dog, meditation music, and vomit, gives brief chaotic updates on the state of their house that's undergoing mold remediation and foundation repair, and hints at a surprise guest on next week's first ever Book of the Month episode.Mentioned in this episode:Dark Chocolate Walnut Brownies recipe (I used dark chocolate morsels and 1/2 pecans and 1/2 walnuts)The Perfect Couple by Elin HilderbrandPhysical 100 on NetflixHonestly by Bari Weiss: Will Ozempic Solve Obesity in America?

52. Simple, Solid Love Advice

Valentine's may be one day, but Emma is capitalizing on the theme this month by making the next few episodes about love, dating, and relationships. To kick it off, Emma dug back through her blog archives to a post from 2017 titled "36 Of The Most WTF Things Men Have Said To Me," and in today's episode, she's reading it out loud for all to hear. You won't believe your ears, and that's kind of the point; sometimes, you have to kiss a lot of wastes of human life to find your Z. Emma ends the episode with the story of her worst date, and of course goes over what the hell she's been doing, and what she's reading &amp; watching (Shrinking and Bad Sisters). The first attempt of a TWES book of the month will be Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid. We'll discuss the book on the February 23rd episode, so get your copy before then!

51. The Most WTF Things Men Have Said To Me

Cory Nichols

Emma takes a sharp left turn in her weekly content this week by having a conversation about money with her financial coach, Cory Nichols. Cory isn't your run-of-the-mill financial advisor—he's a money guy who believes that everyone should strive for "average," that there's a time to save and a time to spend, and who has a lot of thoughts on crypto and Dave Ramsey. In this episode, Emma gives her typical weekly recap (including some discussion around PMDD), announces the first "book of the month" for February, offers some reviews on a movie and a show, and then gets into all things money with Cory.

50. Slow and Average Wins the Race with my Financial Coach, Cory Nichols

Today's episode is long overdue. For the last (almost) four years, Emma has been working with personal trainer and nutritionist Meg Morat. Not only has Emma learned so much about diet, exercise, and everything in between, but her and Meg have formed a friendship, too (Meg was at the wedding!). In this episode, you'll hear Emma's usual WTHIBD (What The Hell I've Been Doing) + RWL (Reading, Watching, Listening), and then a full hour with Meg that covers a bunch of listener-submitted questions but far beyond those, too. Meg answers things like cardio or weights first? What is the perfect cardio to weight lifting ratio? Do fad diets or drugs work? How to start at home when you're not ready for the gym? How to get back into fitness postpartum, and SO much more. There's a lot of nuggets to be tucked away for later from this episode, and we hope you love it!

47. Vintage Duckeration with @harrisvintage

Big, lofty New Year's resolutions are for the birds. Smaller, more specific resolves though? Those are great. For the first episode of 2023, I'm sharing my own personal resolves for the new year, including learning how to do a cat eye, carrying a book and small notebook with me everywhere I go, commenting more on Instagram, honing in my nutrition, and being even MORE unapologetically myself. I also recap my "winter break," and review a bunch of shows and movies including White Lotus, Babylon, The Patient, Jack Ryan, The Banshees of Inisherin, and the Shania Twain documentary. AND I share an incredibly concerning overheard conversation between a couple that is going to keep up at night for the foreseeable future.  Read my blog post about my 2023 resolves here Mentioned in this episode:  Loro Old Monk Terry Black's BBQ Cry Wolf Happy-Go-Lucky by David Sedaris

Opinions are like assholes—we all have one...or several. I'm bringing back a series favorite for the last episode of 2022: UNPOPULAR OPINIONS. Listeners had A LOT of thoughts, including but absolutely NOT limited to: Michael Bublé, Crumbl cookies, carbonated water, pregnancy kind of sucking, pedicures with friends, Colleen Hoover books, top sheets, ketchup, Nutella, avocado, and someone even came for chocolate chip cookies (audible gasp). Tune to listen and argue with these hot takes, PLUS hear my week and weekend recap, how Z and I got caught in the act by my parents, a Dallas restaurant review, and a lot of chitchat about TV shows.
