Just Chatting

This week, Jaclyn is just chatting with one of her close friends, Ashlee! You may know her from IG @ashleedoesstuff or TikTok @ashleetoksstuff, or purely from Jac’s obsessive posts about her on IG. We talk about our dating experiences, especially as 30-something-year-old single moms who are on dating apps, the expectations and our unique approaches. Not to mention, a little bit in the self-awareness department. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This week, Jac shares all the dirty details of her craziest dating experience yet...while Faran eye rolls her eyes out of her head. You remember Perfect Beach Date Guy from S1:E10? He’s back & more entertaining than ever. We don’t know WHAT to think between the charm, the blocking, & the orgasms. Is he married? Does he have a fake house? Who’s apartment were we at? And why does he block her so much?! Most importantly, is the sex worth it? TBD... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode we dive into a little bit about ourselves, and what you can expect from this podcast. This is our first episode EVER, so be gentle with us. In this episode we also cover some of our different circumstances throughout the COVID-19 shutdown, including Jaclyn's layoff and personal growth journey, as well as Chantel's chaotic experience in trying to juggle a busy career working from home while teaching her son (who makes a Cameo in the episode!) and maintaining the household.  We get into why this has been such a collective grieving experience for all, including those of us who are fixers and obviously cannot do anything to fix our current situation. We'll dive into some of the pros and cons of both being co-dependent (Jaclyn) and being too independent (Chantel), and what that means in a relationship.  Later in the episode, we'll talk about DICK PICS! Do we like them? Are they ever ok? What are the boundaries? Has Chantel ever sent nudes? Are Jaclyn's nudes on porn website somewhere? You'll have to listen to find out! Thanks for joining us as we try our best to navigate a world where no one know what fucking day it is. @justchattingpod on Insta --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
