S2 / Episode 5: Poopy Situation
It's just the two of us this week and we are YAPPING. We're catching you up on Park City mountain trips, a truly unhinged MLM couple selling "miracle" saltwater, and the full breakdown of the girl who pooped herself mid-HYROX race and still called it a win. We're also getting into the Sydney Sweeney sports betting ad backlash, unpacking Alex Earl's new docuseries and the whole Alex Cooper situation, plus a wedding planning horror story about room blocks and hidden fees. Oh, and our fantasy football league is officially a disaster — more on that inside.Grab your coffee, settle in, and keep giving no fucks (unless you poop yourself at HYROX — then give a few).

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
