Chatty Sisters Podcast

The Chatty Sisters celebrate their first time releasing back to back episodes in almost TWO years. Crazy times, people. This week, Kelly & Caroline discuss themselves at retirement age. Where will they live? How do they hope to spend their time? Will Kelly let Caroline live with her? Just kidding.. mostly :) The Sisters hope this episode provides a fun distraction from all the heaviness in the world right now. Stay safe and enjoy!

During a time full of uncertainty, anxiety and stress, the Chatty Sisters are here hoping to bring a little light and laughter into the world. Today, Kelly & Caroline touch on the coronavirus, how their day to day lives have changed, what they're worried about and what they're grateful for. Then they share their weird habits - many they didn't even know about each other! They laugh and poke fun of themselves, and hope you'll do the same! NOTE: The Chatty Sister's website is no longer. LOL. Show notes will be here in the description of the episode going forward :)

Remember that time Kelly & Caroline podcasted in December and then just got around to posting it now? Welcome to life with an infant! This week, the Chatty Sisters are picking up right where they left off (6+ months ago...) sharing their wine & loves, favorite moments of 2019 and general life updates. There may be some technical difficulties, a giant 3 month delay, and more laughing than actually talking but.. in the words of Joey Tribbiani "I'M BACK, BABY!"

Oh hey! Kelly & Caroline are back today chatting about the Enneagram personality types and catching up on things like sickness, honeymooning and pregnancy stupidness. It’s a whole lot of fun. The Sisters aren’t totally sure what to think of the Enneagram and fully admit that they resisted this test for a while! Despite this though, they have fun digging into their personalities a bit more and just being back to podcasting! Who thinks they should post more frequently? Leave some encouragement on Instagram @chattysisterspodcast!

The Chatty Sisters are back after a brief (two month..) hiatus and they have exciting news to share - Caroline's pregnant with a baby girl!! In this episode, the Sisters catch up on all the usual things.. their loves, wines, podcasts episodes and books. They also talk about the Caroline has loved and not so loved about being pregnant so far, and what she's looking forward to, as well as, nervous for about having a baby. Kelly provides Caroline with a few helpful tips about ways to get ready for baby, what to expect and answers dreaded the question, "Is Caroline's life over forever?" As always, the Chatty Sisters hope you laugh along with their silly dialogue and efforts to not take life too seriously!

On this week’s podcast, the Chatty Sisters are tackling birth order and the affects it plays on personality. As you probably already know, Kelly and Caroline LOVE talking about personality. Kelly, is the oldest of 3 kiddos. Her siblings are 5 and 7 years younger than her. Where as, Caroline is the middle child in the family. Caroline is 5 years younger than Kelly and 2 years older than her younger brother, Jake. The Sisters talk about their sibling dynamic growing up, their role in the family and how they think this shaped their personality today. They also discuss the big gap in age between them, how they feel about the number 3, and how Kelly is already seeing the sibling roles play out in her own children.

This week, the Chatty Sisters are recapping 2018: the highlights, the challenges faced, and more. Both Kelly & Caroline had a "big moment" in 2018 that had a lot of mental & emotional build-up. For Caroline, it was her wedding and, for Kelly, it was going back to teaching Kindergarten after a little extended maternity leave. They discuss life before/after this, and address questions people asked them in everyday life that they didn't know how to answer. The Sisters also share some favorite books, movies, tv shows, and podcasts of 2018. At the end of the show, they look ahead a little to 2019 and to the next Chatty episode!

On this episode of the Chatty Sisters, Kelly & Caroline cover entertaining. Since the holidays are right around the corner, this is often the most popular time of year to host a party or get together. The Sisters discuss what they like about hosting, what they don’t like, how much effort they put into hosting, what types of entertaining are their favorites, and their childhood memories of entertaining. As always, they go off on tangents including, but not limited to, the weather, skin care, and children’s books.  For show notes, including what natural deodorant Caroline uses and how she cleanses her armpits (I swear it works!!!), visit chattysisterspodcast.com.

This week, the Chatty Sisters are discussing the changes they’ve made over the last few weeks in an effort to spend less time doing the things they don’t like and MORE time with the people they love! They’ve decided that putting a bunch of systems in place is the easiest way to save time, reduce decision fatigue and get things done! Kelly & Caroline are talking meal planning, “Wednesday Meeting”, shopping for household/cleaning items, work “emergency kit” and uniforms, laundry, packing lunch and more!

The Chatty Sister's are headed back to school! Well.. really just Kelly. But Caroline is here for it. Since November 2016, Kelly has been on leave from her job as Kindergarten teacher to stay at home with her two kiddos, Max & Jack. Now she's headed back and Caroline has all kinds of questions for her: how are you feeling going back to work? What are you most nervous about? How are you preparing the kids for this transition? Are you happy with your decision to take a leave from work to be with your kids full-time? The Sisters chat all things back to school, how much they hate housework, Fall goals, and more. Join them on Instagram and share how you're feeling about going back to school and your Fall goals!

This might be the Sister's most absurd episode yet. Be prepared to laugh so loud you can't actually hear the music they're playing.

From the 90s, early 2000s to today, they reminisce on some of their most life defining tunes. Share YOUR favorite throwback tunes on Instagram @chattysisterspodcast!

Soooo... that happened. During the Sister's month hiatus, Caroline & Dan got married! Now, the Chatty Sisters are BACK to recap it all. Was it the best day of Caroline's life? Did it rain? Did Dan lose his own ring already? Did Kelly crush her MOH speech? Listen up to get the behind the scenes scoop of the day. 

This week, the Chatty Sisters recap Caroline's Bachelorette weekend by the lake in New Hampshire and talk wedding weather nerves/fear of attention. They also discuss which side of the family their personality traits came from, how they are similar and different to their family members, and if they believe in nature vs. nurture when it comes to personality. This is the last episode for a couple weeks since Kelly & Caroline will be away celebrating Caroline & Dan's wedding, but they promise to return at the end of July for a wedding recap!!

They talk bucket lists: why they like them, what's on their list, how they feel if they don't check everything off the list.

The temperature is (slowly) rising here in New England and we've been seeing the sun a LITTLE bit more in April than we did in March. The Chatty Sisters are SO ready for spring and a fresh start and positivity and all the Trader Joe's tulips that they dedicated a whole podcast to it. This week, Kelly and Caroline are reviewing their goals that they set at the beginning of the year and setting the intention to come back to the ones that they lost a bit in March. (Can we all just agree March is the worst month of the year??) If you want some motivation to put your winter clothes into storage, open up the windows and air out the stuffy house, and start spring cleaning- this is the podcast for you! Leave us your own positivity and motivation on Instagram @chattysisterspodcast!

Turns out the Chatty Sisters have a lot of pet peeves!! In fact, they have to break them down into categories like: technology, work-related, inefficiency, grocery store occurrences, soo many driving pet peeves, and just people being overall stupid. Sorry, they're not sorry. This is basically one full hour of rants, but don't worry, they keep it light, funny and work some positivity in there too. The Sisters hope this is an episode you can laugh along to and they definitely want to hear your pet peeves as well!!

Kelly and Caroline celebrate "home anniversaries" by discussing what makes a house a home, what they love about houses and future projects for their home. They reminisce about secret passageways, Caroline offers to redecorate Kelly's house with a limitless budget and Kelly continues to want someone to follow her around putting shit away.

We are SUPER excited for this episode. Today, the Chatty Sisters are talking about what it feels like to be on the "CLIENT" side of their profession. Kelly, a Kindergartner and mom of two young children, discusses what it's like to be a parent of a kid in school. She talks about how it's changed how she teaches, tips for parents of Kindergarteners and more. Caroline, a wedding photographer, discusses what it's like to plan a wedding while having worked in the wedding industry for the last five+ years. She shares how it feels to be on the other side and how to plans to change how she communicates with her Bride & Grooms going forward. There is sooo much juicy info and thought provoking convo in this one, you won't want to miss it!!

The Chatty Sisters are BACK(!) after a brief hiatus due to travel and sickness. Today, Kelly and Caroline are talking about social media: what we like, what we hate, what medias we prefer and which ones we just don't really get. We also talk about our first experiences with social media, including the beloved AIM (aka where all romances began between the years 2001 and 2006). They even discuss the challenging topic of raising kids in a world dominated by social media. Join along in the conversation on Instagram and Facebook and tell us: your AIM screen name, your favorite things to see on social media and your pet peeves!

If there's one thing you should know about the Chatty Sisters, it's that they LOVE to travel! This week, Kelly & Caroline are chatting about how they plan trips. Everything from how they save money for trips to where they go to get ideas to how/where they book the trip! They apologize in advance for alllllll the Jack in the background. He's cute though, right? ....Right? 

The Chatty Sisters are *finally* diving in to Kelly's favorite topic: reading! The Sisters chat about their first memories of reading, where/when/how/why they read, their favorite genres, and some of Caroline's random questions regarding reading. Here's another one: why is "read" spelled the same in the past tense and present tense, but not pronounced the same? No wonder English is such a hard language to learn! Anyways, if you love to read, you'll love this episode and probably want to curl up with a good book once you're done!

The Chatty sisters are talking about texting: when they first remember texting, why they like it and whether or not they use periods when texting. Of course they also share many of their texting related pet peeves and they want to hear yours! Most importantly, please never respond to our texts with the word "ok." 

The Chatty Sisters are BACK with their first episode of 2017! This week, Kelly and Caroline are reviewing 2017 and talking 2018 "SMART" goals (lol. jk.). Synopsis: Kelly wants to keep her children alive another year and Caroline wants to maybe attempt to read a book and actually remember what it's called! Max makes an appearance (or two...) and will give you all a few laughs. He's tired of listening to the Chatty Sisters talk, but hopefully you guys are not!!

What's your love language? This week the Chatty Sisters took a quiz to see which love languages they value the most. They share their scores and how these love languages affect their current and past relationships. They bond and laugh over their mutual score of 2 on one of the languages. Can you guess which one it is? 

In honor of Caroline's 29th birthday, the Chatty Sisters are talking about birthday parties they loved as kids, feelings around turning 30, and bucket lists. Kelly & Caroline get sucked down another hole of all the places they want to travel to... everywhere from Hawaii & Alaska to Italy & Denmark. Caroline only needs to freeze time before she has kids to make this happen and.. well.. Kelly needs to go back in time?? As always, you'll hear a bit about the Sister's lives and some random tangents. Thank you for listening!

What kind of people are you drawn to? Are you someone who looks for someone to lift them up or balance them out? Do you believe in the age old saying, "opposites attract"? This week, the Chatty Sister's tackle personalities once again, this time with a focus on friendships. Caroline shares all about her love for extroverts and... Leos (!?), while Kelly admits she lied on her college roommate application by saying she was "neat". Also, tune in to commiserate with the Sisters about Cyber Monday sales, life changes, and dying phones.

Caroline thinks guys and girls can't be just friends, when it gets to a certain point. Kelly is all about guys and girls being friends. This week, the Chatty Sisters are taking on the topic of male/female friendships, mainly can they work in different stages of life? Or are they sabotaging your relationships and happiness? Tune in to hear what they think are the benefits and potential pitfalls of male/female friendships. And, as always, share your own experiences on Instagram or Facebook! 

In the spirit of the upcoming holidays, the Chatty Sisters reminisce about family traditions they remember from childhood and how these traditions have changed and morphed into new ones over the years. For some unknown reason, they both recall the stairs at their great-grandmother's house in great detail, even though Kelly and Caroline were probably about 7 and 3 years old respectively. As usual, they laugh a lot... mostly at Caroline's confusion at the concept of a food drive and her undying love for tswift.. and how Kelly is so. loud. though. #extrovertproblems. Be sure to stick through to the very end, you're welcome!

For once, the Chatty Sisters have some true expert advice (thanks Caroline!) about managing digital photos. They chat about Caroline's #1 rule learned in photography school, why they think it's important to print photos and what companies they support. It wouldn't be a complete episode without Kelly's Stay at Home mom woes and Caroline questioning the next step in her career path. 

Are you the type of quitter who makes pros and cons lists? Or do you prefer to leave when your gut tells you it's time? Find out which sister you are more like on this week's episode of Chatty Sisters, all about saying "I quit" both when you are SO ready to be done and also when you have mixed feelings. Also, Kelly finds a cop car parked in front of her house and Caroline actually reads a book! 

In a follow up to Episode 5 (Spring Cleaning and Decluttering), Kelly and Caroline move past getting rid of things and talk about organizing problem spots in their house. Listen to learn why Kelly had to dump out her entire junk drawer before her weekend trip, what Caroline discovered Dan is secretly stealing from her, and why Caroline regularly runs through her house in search of underwear. ..And did Kelly have a Pinterest success story?!

It's time to catch up with the Chatty Sisters this week! Have you been wondering how wedding planning is going for Caroline? Or how Kelly is doing with all those Back to School goals she set? (Do they even REMEMBER the goals they set a couple weeks ago?! Spoiler alert: Not really.) Kelly and Caroline also chat about comfy clothes they can wear that also look "put together", a weird vest that Caroline actually really might like, and what to do with all your child's adorable (....?) artwork. As always, we would LOVE it if you can share our podcast with a friend, leave a review on iTunes and follow us on Instagram @chattysisterspodcast. If you do, you might even get a shout out on the show!

Have you ever wondered what Caroline and Kelly were like during their teen years? No? Well, listen anyway to relive your own youth! Caroline talks about her love for sports and time spent on AIM. Kelly laughs at her hours spent on the phone and telling really stupid lies to avoid having to answer more questions. They both share what they wish they knew back in those years (even though Caroline "peaked" during this time) and even read some listener thoughts! Also listen for: amusing Max stories, Kelly's monthly tech loves and more!

The Chatty Sisters are back to w(h)ining and they really need to know WHY is adulting and paying bills so difficult?! But actually, please tell them! They also discuss perfectionism: when they first noticed it, how it manifests and Kelly's (somewhat comical) tips for Caroline on how to stop being a perfectionist. This episode is perfect for those who have been "should"-ing all over themselves lately and want to just laugh it off!! 

In honor of their grandmother who passed away last week, the Chatty Sisters are talking all about motherhood. Caroline asks Kelly all kinds of questions about her experience deciding to be and being a mom. This is an episode for not just moms or soon-to-be moms, but those deciding if they want to have kids, daughters, friends of moms, etc.!

This week the Chatty Sisters share what they do (or don't do!) to stay healthy when life gets super busy. Together they strategize about how Caroline can stop making a big dinner at midnight on Saturday nights, and debate whether going to the grocery store daily or doing grocery delivery saves the most money. Of course there are a few unexpected interruptions like a 10 minute tangent about small talk and a toy in Kelly's playroom that Caroline finds very creepy! Find us on Instagram or Facebook to see a photo! 

Everryyybodyyy. Please tell me you all got the Backstreet Boys reference. Okay, cool. SO the Chatty Sisters are back and kicking off "season 2" talking all things back to school, Fall goals, and all that fun stuff! They feel sooo good to be back, and they hope all their lovely listeners out there are just as excited as they are! So stop reading this description and just listen already!

This week, the Sisters just kinda... catch up! It's been a couple weeks since they've talked and the Chatty Sisters are as chatty as ever. In fact, they never really get passed their wine & love segment. Catch up with the Sisters as they talk about their favorite adventures over the last couple of weeks, how they're sad summer is already coming to an end (the August breakdown is in full force!), and more. For some unknown reason they spend a lot of time talking about weddings, bridesmaid dresses and sequins. Don't ask them why. If you're looking to pass the time during your drive to the Cape this weekend or to work today, then Kelly & Caroline are coming to your rescue!

This week, the Chatty Sister's introduce Kelly's Husband, Eric, to the podcast! Following in suit with Caroline and Dan the week before, Kelly and Eric ask each other some questions followed by some (slightly inappropriate at times) rapid fire questions. Hear all about how Kelly and Eric REALLY met, how they think they've changed since having children, where they really want to travel to, and so much more. You'll also FINALLY get to hear Eric's Boston accent (and his Russian accent..) so that is reason enough to give this a listen! :)

Yup, you heard that right. Kelly & Caroline are finally bringing their men on the podcast! Due to scheduling restraints, the Sisters thought this would be the perfect time to introduce two of the most referenced people on the show: Dan & Eric. This week, Dan attempts to overcome his nerves and fill Kelly's big shoes (voice?) on the podcast. Caroline and Dan take turns asking each other questions, ending with a bunch of rapid fire questions. Tune in to hear Dan's take on how he met Caroline, what the opening scene to a movie of Dan's life would be (you will NEVER guess. Like actually.), what Caroline says she wants to see when she looks back on her life in 40-50 years, and a whole lot more!

This week the Chatty Sisters respond to a listener request for more information about bullet journals! They share all about their love for planning and how they do it. Caroline sings the praises of a 3 task "to do" list and Kelly talks about her obsession with her "habit tracker." By the end of the episode, Caroline was lost in a sea of bullet journal Instagram posts and ready to buy her own. You never know, it might happen to you too!

The Chatty Sisters are back after a week hiatus for the Fourth of July and they have exciting news! Caroline is engaged! For all those who thought this would never ever happen (no? Just Caroline?), you will be pleasantly surprised as she rehashes the entire day, and shares all the things that maybe people don't talk so much about when they get engaged. (LIKE THAT IT'S AWKWARD. NO??? NO ONE ELSE???? haha.) Laugh along as Kelly and Caroline talk about social media "announcements", destination weddings, wedding guilt, and so much more. Caroline may even sort of ask Kelly to be her Matron of Honor on this show. Not that we're giving anything away or anything!
