S2 / Episode 4: Winners Don't Snooze
We've got BIG news this week — and no, we're not telling you who yet. Someone in this friend group just got engaged, and the story behind the proposal is one you have to hear for yourself. We're also getting into the NFL scammer everyone's talking about, that Good Good Golf ad disaster, and why one of us bricked her phone for two days straight. Then we flip the switch and get real about mornings — the routines, the non-negotiables, the sleep hacks nobody's talking about, and what it actually takes to become a morning person without hating your life.

S2 / Episode 3: Insecurity Detox
This week on The Good Influence, we're playing insecurity dump candy salad — pulling out the Swedish candy and going around the table confessing every ridiculous, embarrassing thing we've ever been self-conscious about. Big feet stuffed into tiny shoes, cankles, cold sores at the worst possible moment, socks in our bras, a nose job over one comment, and one story that gets a lot more serious than candy and giggles. Plus: Ziggy tributes, wedding dress drama, and Bill Gates' daughter's alleged cookie-stuffing scheme. Grab your candy and get comfortable. Follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Season 2 Premiere: Did You Miss Us?

This episode covers it all — Kelbi's trail race training in the Texas heat, Susanne's motorcycle crash story (beverage fully intact, no spills), Chelsea's Croatia and New York travel plans, and Chelsea's deep dive into calorie deficits, carb cycling, and why carbs are actually your best friend, not your enemy.We also get into the wellness industry takeover happening everywhere (yes, even at Popeyes), New York studio reviews (AARMY vs. Tracy Anderson — worth the $75 drop-in or not?), starting an activewear line, biological age tests, TTC talk, and why trying new things — even when you're bad at them — might be the key to not feeling stuck.Grab your coffee, hit play, and let's catch up.

S1 / Episode 26: Season 1 Finale
Season one is officially a wrap, and we're closing it out the only way we know how, completely unfiltered. This episode takes you through our Costa Rica girls' trip, complete with a near-drowning incident (sorry, Chad), paddle board chaos, crocodile vs. alligator facts none of us asked for, and a private chef who maybe lives with the pigs. We also get nostalgic with childhood smells, candy that doesn't exist anymore, commercial jingles burned into our brains forever — and talk about what it actually feels like turning 30 (spoiler: way better than everyone warned us). This is our season finale, so we're taking a short summer break before season two — but we're leaving you with all the chaos, comfort, and chronically online wisdom you've come to expect from us. Thank you for an incredible six months. Follow and subscribe so you don't miss a single episode when we're back.

S1 / Episode 25: Low Battery
This week we're back — and honestly, we needed that break. Chelsea officially survived her fourth round of 75 Hard and is already signing her name in blood that she's never doing it again. We get into everything: carb cycling, calorie deficits, why refeed days are not cheat days, and how dialing in your carbs might actually be the thing you've been missing. Francesca recaps teaching at Sunset Sculpt in Harwood Park in front of 650 people, and we talk about what it actually feels like to stand on a stage and try to look calm while your whole body is shaking. Then we get real about burnout — the kind that sneaks up on you even when you love what you do. We talk about how to recognize it, what helps us push through it, and why you should never apologize for needing a minute. Next time you hear from us, we'll be recapping Costa Rica!

This week on The Good Influence, the girls are back and fully unfiltered.

S1 / Episode 23: Rich Forever
This week we're recapping a weekend that had absolutely no chill. Francesca just got back from Dave Asprey's Beyond Biohacking event in Austin (sound bowls, scalp scans, and a lot of woo woo energy), while Kelbi and Susanne were in Miami for White Fox swim week, a very empty strip club at 10pm, and the Rick Ross appearance we waited until 3:30am to witness. Plus, Chelsea’s 20 days out from finishing 75 Hard and deep in a calorie deficit with her trainer, and we're previewing a packed June including FK Body, Don Toliver, and Costa Rica for Susanne’s 30th birthday.

S1 / Episode 22: Yappy Hour Pt. 2
We kick off with Memorial Day memories, sand volleyball, six kids at a lake house, and a sunburn that has us looking like Forrest Gump mid-run. From there we spiral into a deep dive on Brian Johnson, the biohacking billionaire who is doing blood transfusions with his family, posting his girlfriend's vaginal microbiome online, and somehow making us like him a little? We also get into biohacking conferences, Jay Shetty, Dave Asprey's tech playground, and what it actually means to be a "credentialed" expert when you're rich enough to just hire them. Then: Chris Brown has an honorary doctorate. The internet is mad. We have thoughts. Diplo performed at his son's kindergarten graduation and debuted a new song. We are obsessed. A low-budget horror film just made $20 million opening weekend and we want to do a live reaction stream. And somehow we ended up in a full spelling bee that revealed things about all of us that we cannot take back. Oh, and there's a date update. His name is Jeff. Spelled G-E-O-F. Things are on the up and up. Follow and subscribe so you never miss a single chaotic, unfiltered, absolutely essential episode of The Good Influence.

We also get into: the PCOS rename that's actually huge news for women's health, AI dating apps that let your avatar go on a date before you do (we have thoughts), the James Charles live unfollow tracker, Alex Cooper's pregnancy timing, Tom Brady on the Gucci runway, Spencer Pratt running for LA mayor and somehow being in the lead, and the Aritzia founder just casually tapping Francesca on the shoulder at a coffee shop.

Chelsea breaks down her six-year journey from corporate to content, we talk brand deal money (yes, including the $40K ones), manager dynamics, taxes, S-corps, and why editing is the skill nobody talks about enough.We also get into the weird side of putting your life online — parasocial relationships, boundaries with followers, unhinged DMs, and what your audience thinks they know about you that just isn't true.

S1 / Episode 18: The Real Ones
Friendships don't just happen — especially after college. In this episode, Suzanne, Francesca, and Chelsea get into all of it: how they actually met, why making friends as an adult is genuinely hard, and what it takes to build the kind of friendship group that feels like home. They talk first impressions (spoiler: everyone was a little intimidated), friendship breakups and how to handle them without making it a whole thing, the art of letting people drop off without taking it personally, and why the best friend groups are built on shared discomfort, low pressure, and showing up even when you don't feel like it.If you've been thinking about the state of your friendships lately, this one's gonna hit.

This week we're getting into all of it: peptides, Botox, filler, plastic surgery, GLP-1s, and the bigger conversation around transparency in the fitness and wellness space.

We're back and we've got a dating quota update, a birthday staycation, Wiz Khalifa's fitness girl era, Fruit Love Island (yes, it's real, yes it's chaotic), and the Taylor Frankie Paul situation — because of course we do. Then we get into the real stuff: fitness as a tool, not just for the body, but for your whole life. We're talking about where our goals started (spoiler: we just wanted to be hot), how consistency actually builds, why the internet is making it harder to start, zone two cardio and whether we've had it all wrong, running tips, breath work, 75 Hard, and what happens when fitness crosses the line from healthy to obsessive.

S1 / Episode 12: Confidence 101
Confidence isn't something you either have or you don't. It ebbs, it flows, and it looks completely different depending on the season you're in. This week we're getting into all of it: where confidence actually comes from, what gets in the way of it, and why the fitness world is a surprisingly perfect place to talk about this.

S1 / Episode 11: Copy Paste
This week on The Good Influence, we're getting into the messy, unfiltered reality of being a content creator...and we have a lot to say. We're talking about the fine line between copying and being inspired, why being copied is actually a compliment, and why coming out publicly to say "stop copying me" is the fastest way to waste your energy. We wrap with five rapid fire content creation questions and the one mindset shift that changed everything for us: stop playing it safe, trust your ideas, and turn yourself all the way up because your people will find you.
