Well well well, we suckered another one of our nearest and dearest onto our show, one of our favorite ploys.
We’re half joking - but whole heartedly pumped to have Victoria Searcy join us today.
We get started with favorite snacks, favorite Hollywood hottie, some light & fun dessert before we get into the main course- discussing the power of keeping an open mind and your heart full of empathy. There’s such divinity in the grey and we truly all feel passionately about being life long learners from everyone we meet.
Enjoy! Ciao
XO,

Ok team, last episode we talked mainly about following little breadcrumbs (nods from the universe// aligned winks) and how to keep a version of the life you want alive in any season.
This episode is about the potential following of a path, and it.. well.. awkward silence FLOPS. Soooo.. NOW WHAT?— Angela talks about an L she took in a business venture and the natural evolution that came out of it.
Kendall discusses the process of switching lanes, career wise.. sharing the advice she gave to someone who asked how she landed a job in interior design with no prior experience in the field.
We also talk about embarrassing in- law moments ++ a passionate rant about a hospice memoir that has kept us up past our bedtime reading.
Happy Memorial Day, everyone. 💓

WE GOT A FACE LIFT! And by that, we mean we upgraded our audio quality as a 4th year podcast anniversary present. Long overdue, but ta-daaaaaa! ✨
Today we get into personal stories of something new, following the breadcrumbs that call to us no matter how small and silly, saving your day when you’re spiraling, and remembering we are always worthy of vitality, abundance, and the occasional Diet Coke. Angela rounds us out with passionate regaling about porcelain plates lol
Thank you for listening & supporting (even when our audio sounded like we were in a snow storm— y’all real for that). It’s a joy to yap away and feel like you’re in the room with us.

Well, we’ve got RANGE this episode— so there’s something for everyone.
Starting off reflective with a 3 card pull and moving into some personal stories of looking at our fear and following the breadcrumbs of what it’s trying to tell us. Is it serving us or protecting us? But then RECORD SCRATCH MY GIRL- philosophical conversations be gone- we spill the tea on the Netflix show “Baby Reindeer”, bunco with older women, and breaking out in song.
Somehow it makes all the sense and no sense at all. Welcome to our show.
Luck be the LADAYYYYY-
Angela + Kendall

A catch-up chit chat episode! Kendall and Angela have started a slew of new projects (running theme: we can’t keep our paws to ourselves) and discuss how they came to be, what’s lighting us up (hanna house) and how the creativity faucet ebbs and flows. The biggest intuitive lesson is the knowing that our flow will always come back around so love her when she’s here, trust she’s coming back when she’s quiet.
We want this episode to stand as a reminder that it can be hard to keep at your craft, your passions, your after-hours creative hub, but it’s always worth it.
XOXO,
Unpolished Girlies

Attention teaaaam- we have a return guest on, April Ray of Astreastoundance. Today we get into the power of our moon signs, and most notably, the messages from our mother and father through our natal chart. We analyze the energy surrounding the approaching solar eclipse (4/8/24) and why everyone is feeling completely whacky and activated right now (the planets are up to no good tbh!!)
We hope it feels like you’re on the floor with us shrieking like close friends do. We truly forgot we were recording because we got so amped.
We hope you enjoy & send to someone that would resonate. We love getting weird over here.

We’re feelin garden chic this spring so it only felt right to have green thumb angel, Rachel Weeks of @scouthouse, on this week.
Rachel is a copywriter + just over all vibe curator, so this episode is jam packed with goodness.
We get into easy garden hacks for even the smallest space, living deliciously intentional within work and play, creating and nurturing community as an adult, and then end on a spicy note with dating yucks and yums in the wild Wild West of online situationships.
Editor’s note: source a notebook and pen sis, because we were taking notes even while recording.
A little bit of everything, a happy signature of the Unpolished. Enjoy! XO!

Kendall and Angela back together again taking a whirly twirly ride of lighthearted thoughts— we begin with a 3 card pull and then chat about what Angela learned in her styling session with our mutual girl crush, Alison Bornstein. We discuss the energetics of style and fashion, and what creative blocks come up and can be conquered simply by getting dressed in the morning. We round it out with a nostalgic rant of what we loved as little kids (Flintstones sherbet push pops anyone?), and how revisiting the hobbies and interests of our childhood have the possibility of bringing in so much joy in adulthood.
We hope this episode makes you feel excited to explore and play with your own personal style and call in more childlike excitement in your creativity.
We love you! XO

Today on the show Angela gives Nikole the floor to tell her childhood tales of being pasture-raised as a true CPS princess (reverently). We get into boundary setting with family members, holding onto your creativity when life throws you a hard deck of cards, navigating co-parenting, the in-between of fulfillment and community building, and full on fist fights in middle school. The life she has built for herself is a constant beacon of inspiration. There’s a little of everything— and if there’s one thing about us? We’re gonna keep it truckin’.

This week, while Angela was with her family on vacation, we decided to throw a wild card in the mix and Kendall brought her brother, Brandon, on to answer questions submitted by the listeners. And what a ride.
Questions covered ranged from weirdest dates, childhood dynamics, icks, and favorite books— with hilarious stories about getting hit by a car, crying in the club, pursuing older women, and the shocking thing he did at an ex-girlfriend’s family get together.
This episode is peppered with heartfelt sentiments and outlandish tales, and we hope you love every minute of it.
As an aside, this episode is not kid or workplace friendly. You’ve been warned- lol.

Angela and Kendall had the rare joy to be together in-person for a weekend of laughing, crying, birthday and baby celebrating & experiencing the spiritual wellness space that is Hotel Ritual.
Our hope for this episode is to talk about why hard things are worth it, that showing up is always worth the potential hiccups and always pays dividends in friendships, in connections, in magic & if you’re a really lucky dog- in creme brûlée.
At the end of the day, you’ll forget the rain— but hold the rainbows in your heart forever.
May this little audio postcard find you well. We love you.

Welcome to a personal favorite hyper-fixation of ours: cults. Lucky for you, we wrangled a cult/pop culture aficionado to add to our mania: our friend Hailie Durrett, to dissect the documentary Love Has Won.
From Reddit receipts to vanity fair to personal insights- we’re going innnnn.
Let’s back up to set the scene for the tea spillage—- Love Has Won: the Cult of Mother God (also known as the Galactic Federation of Light and 5D Full Disclosure) is a 3 part documentary series on HBO about a woman named Amy Carlson. Our girl Amy is a mother of 3 who is a manager of a McDonalds in Houston,Texas. One day she up and disappears, changes her name, and begins leading thousands of people under the self proclamation of being a divine being (who is 19 billion years old) who birthed the entire world. Well, folks, after watching, we clearly have thoughts.
Haven’t seen the documentary? Fear not- you’re gonna get a very detailed spark notes of events.
Thank you for tuning in. It’s a wild ride, but this is who we are.
Love, your wanna be cult leaders, Angela, Hailie, and Kendall

Hiii- If this episode made it into your orbit, I’m sure Pluto appreciates the company. Today on The Unpolished, we talk about Pluto transitioning into Aquarius until 2044, baby name ideas (?), and a cringey tale of mid 2000s lore at the mall (with a Gilmore Girl reference, we love to see it). A shortie today, but trust- some things are better off left on the cutting floor. Next week we’re getting into Love Has Won: Mother God if you want to follow along.

We were fortunate enough to have Joanna Waterfall on The Unpolished today, to talk about the pulse of motherhood that needs a little more light shine on it. From how we navigate spirituality beliefs with young children to birth story letdown to sitting in the hardship in sleepless nights, we bring out a more tender side to the show today. If you’re a fellow parent or interested in becoming a parent, we hope you left with a tidbit or two, and we love this first standing segment on our show, giving a chance to converse with beautiful and wise mothers walking this big ol’ earth rock with us.
We love you!

It's a twisty road as you've come to expect on the show ranging from AI to Suite Life of Zac and Cody to Naked Attraction. In this episode, we introduce what we hope is a semi-regular segment on the pod: a listener dropped voice memo about pubic hair.. trends?
We hope you enjoy, laugh, or leave slightly frightened.
PS. As it stands, it's still not confirmed if Angela forgives Kendall for the cardinal offense of recommending a concealer that creased on her.

This episode is us in our usual form, throwing verbal spaghetti at our mics for your weekly dose of unhinged.
We begin with our (non spoiler) takes on saltburn, and from there it’s everything from cooking hacks to anklets,with a pit stop into serious town where we talk about how social media affects creativity. Kendall reads an article from the substack “Monday, Monday” that explains why the author chose to permanently log off. Followed by landing the plane at boujee socks, worn out sneakers, and hairy legs.
This episode is equal parts dallying around and introspection, and we hope you enjoy the ride.

Episode 4
I fear we’ve lost the plot because this episode quite frankly is a mish mosh of interests ranging from the Kindle Oasis to crows holding grudges to psychics solving crimes? Throw in some poetry and face oil and you’ve got yourself the inner workings of the minds of two adhd mothers in suburbia just trying to reorient in 2024.
Our promise to ourselves and to the listeners is that we would show up, disheveled or not, to invite you along to the party. We mean it with our full chest (32B and 36HH).
Love you, enjoy the ride!

We got all four of our children down for a nap at the same time and got on mic to discuss all the important things:-Jam Advent Calendars-the power of a belt (and where to get them)-Podcaster boyfriend drama-True crime a la Gypsy Rose (we're tipsy for gypsy)-Why egg whites should stay the hell out of cocktails-vision boarding your 2024 style with things you already own-endless rabbit holes of googling info on the spot

Episode 1.
Of the new name, at least.2024, it’s us. And we’re comin’ in HAUTE. I mean, hot. I mean, we’re actually just sweaty after a full rebrand.But welcome to The UNpolished.
In this episode, we pull back the curtains on why, after 3 years of Woo Woo School, we felt it was in alignment to pivot.
In this candid conversation, we speak about the evolution of deciding to amazon prime microphones to our doors and blast our thoughts on air— and how it’s changed our lives.Things we touch on:
What you can expect going forwardWhy we decided to change the name/contentWhat worked and what didn’tThe importance of staying in the flow of what art asks of youThank you for joining us in this audio diary, and we are SO excited for what is to come.

MOTHERHOOD EXPOSÉ
In this episode, we talk about all the things we, frankly, wish other moms were talking about.We jotted down a few things we wanted to discuss, but opened up a question box on instagram to see what you were curious about hearing about. And this episode was born.
We called in our friend Leah to join the chat. We’re over the term “girl boss”, but let’s just suffice to say, we knew she’d be an incredibly valuable resource on the discussion of “balancing” motherhood/work/spirituality.
The short answer is, you can’t. But we break down thoughts on:
Going from 0-1 and 1-2 kids and what you wish you had known/someone would have told youThe honesty of missing your pre-kid life even though you wouldn’t take it backThe best parts we’ve experienced in motherhoodHow to create intentional space for the things that matter for you in the midst of nurturing othersHow to recognize what’s worth saying “hell yes” or “naw, not today” toWe hope you enjoy this convo of 3 mamas givin’ it the old college try. As an aside: there were SO many questions that were submitted that we couldn’t get to, so we’d love to bring other mamas in continue this conversation of womanhood, motherhood, and the pursuit of caffeine in any form.
