On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter catch up after what can only be described as one of Abbey's most chaotic nights out to date. What began as a wholesome wreath-making afternoon quickly spiralled into margaritas on empty stomachs, vomiting on the motorway, missed shopping trips and a Christmas wreath riding shotgun in a car full of regret.Peter shares festive family highlights from the Jingle Bell Ball, including kids desperate for screen time, a painfully awkward Ed Sheeran TikTok moment and Abbey discovering Peter modelling a velvet suit… in the women's section.

Welcome to the club, flower friend — because almost every florist I coach thinks they need huge blocks of uninterrupted time to build momentum.But here's the truth: your life will probably never give you endless hours of quiet, focused time…And you don't need it.In today's minisode, we're diving into Micro Momentum — the simple, doable, wildly effective approach that has helped me build my businesses, stay consistent, and keep moving forward even during the busiest, messiest seasons of life.Whether you're a florist, a mother, running multiple businesses, navigating neurodivergence, or simply overwhelmed by your to-do list — micro momentum is how you create progress right now, not someday.

Send us a textRHOBH-A Bag of Dicks or a Bowl of FruitRHOBH S15 E2 – “Bearing It All” Podcast SummaryThis episode dives deep into vulnerability, broken relationships, and very exposed emotions—both literally and figuratively.We open with Rachel Zoe at home with her son before he leaves for camp, reflecting on motherhood and fear. When Boz visits, their opposite personalities come into focus: Boz fears nothing, while Rachel admits she fears everything. Rachel opens up about her separation, navigating co-parenting, public scrutiny, and the sting of seeing her ex move on publicly without regard for their kids or shared business interests.Boz and Rachel also discuss Kyle, questioning her insistence that she's “not dating” and encouraging more openness in what they believe is a safe space.Kyle visits Mo's new house for the first time, clearly hurt that he leased it without discussing it with her, making reconciliation feel even farther away. While Mo casually asks about her dating life, Kyle downplays it—despite admitting in confession she has dated and prefers to stay private, unlike Mo. She also shares Dorit's frustration over PK's behavior influencing Mo's choices.Meanwhile, Sutton and Erika meet for facials in a surprising olive-branch moment. Erika opens up about her ongoing heartbreak over Tom, the lack of closure, and the heavy reality of his decline and imprisonment. Therapy has taught her that closure isn't always given—you sometimes have to create it yourself. With civil lawsuits still pending, Erika admits she's emotionally stuck.Dorit, leaning heavily on her parents, shares the immense stress of PK leaving her to manage finances and parenting alone—without explanation or support. Her pain escalates when PK threatens to block the kids' planned trip to Florida, clearly using it as a way to hurt her.Wedding bells loom as Kyle shops for gifts with Alexia and Sutton, joined by new housewife Amanda, who recently bought Kyle's old Bel Air home. Amanda introduces herself as the self-proclaimed “Money Queen,” author of Rich As Fck*, and shares her whirlwind love story—being chased down on the streets of West Hollywood. Her Birkin alone sets the tone.The group gathers at Jennifer Tilly's boho-chic “sip and draw” party, which quickly escalates when multiple nude male models appear. Fashion interpretations of “boho” wildly differ, reactions range from shock to delight, and Erika delivers the line of the night: “I'll take a bag of dicks over a bowl of fruit any day.”Amid laughter and sketches, tension erupts when Dorit breaks down over PK's cruelty toward their children. The women rally around her—offering blunt advice, tough love, and validation—while Kyle feels her support is received differently than others'. The emotional weight of the moment underscores just how fractured Dorit truly is.The episode closes with Kyle opening up to Erika about a secret relationship she had post-separation—one she deeply cared about but kept private out of respect. Gossip and speculation ultimately destroyed it. Kyle breaks down, admitting that while she's always been open, this time it wasn't just about her—and now, it's over.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Are we spending too much on other people's weddings?Going to a friend's weddings can be so fun and meaningful… but it can also really hurt your wallet. A survey by LendingTree found that 31% of people who had been to a wedding in the past five years had accrued debt to attend. So what's driving up the cost of weddings for guests? And what makes it so hard to say no to these expenses?Brittany breaks it down with Allyson Rees, senior analyst at trend forecasting firm WGSN, and Annie Joy Williams, assistant editor at The Atlantic.Support Public Media.

Do you love a good holiday story that brings different traditions, and unexpected friendships, together in one cozy, snowed-in town? We're diving into our December Book Club pick, Three Holidays and a Wedding by Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm). Before we get into the book club chat, we start with a bookish check-in: Jen shares about Nadia Davids's Cape Fever (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm), and Ashley talks about A. R. Abbott's Founded on Blood and Magic (Bookshop.org). From there, we get into all things Three Holidays and a Wedding. We talk about the way Maryam and Anna's unlikely friendship becomes the heart of the story, the charm of the Snow Falls setting, and the beauty of seeing Ramadan, Hanukkah, and Christmas all woven into the same timeline. We also share book pairings, including Ali Brady's Merry Little Bookshop (Bookshop.org) and Fredrik Backman's Anxious People (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm), and wrap up with our bookish heart ratings and a couple of Unabridged Favorites. This is our final new episode of 2025, and we'll be back soon with a re-release of a past book club discussion before we head into a new year of reading together.

Holiday gift snooping, F-bomb subject lines, and an AI country hit somehow all end up in the same conversation, and Jay Schwedelson has opinions. From Lowe's genius decoy gift boxes to a wildly misjudged suit sale email to a simple subject line trick that quietly spikes opens, this week is part marketing therapy, part pop culture catch-up. If you've ever wondered where the line is between clever and cringe, or how targeted your targeting should really be, this one will get you rethinking your next send.Best Moments:(00:20) Lowe's leans into holiday chaos with free decoy boxes so parents can hide gifts in plain sight from snooping kids.(01:25) A suit brand fires off a Black Friday email with a "grow the f**k up and buy a suit" subject line that explodes into a full-blown PR apology tour.(03:02) Double personalization in subject lines like "pet parents of anxious dogs" or "mid-market CMOs Q1 pipeline fix" quietly crushes with big open rate lifts and way better qualified clicks.(04:18) Jay breaks down why narrowing your audience with ultra-specific segments may lower volume but massively upgrade intent and sales potential.(06:05) An AI-generated country song hits number one on the Billboard charts, and Jay questions whether machine-made music should even be allowed on human charts.(05:12) Streaming recs get personal as Jay walks back his early take on Netflix's The Beast in Me and admits he still cannot bring himself to care about Stranger Things or the Taylor and Travis wedding frenzy.Check out Jay's YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay's TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelsonCheck Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/

We both thought this movie was going to be a lighthearted comedy, but after sobbing on a plane Ellie would beg to differ.  The Wedding Banquet stars Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, and Kelly Marie Tran in what is technically a remake of a film from 1993 (which we have not seen). The story is a bit out-there, but the characters resonate all the same. If you haven't seen it, the basic plot is this: a gay man and his lesbian bestie decide to help each other out by getting married in exchange for a green card for him and free IVF for her. Honestly with how expensive IVF is (and the general state of immigration), we 1000% get it. There may be nothing more quintessentially 2025 than the gays teaming up to defraud the government and get free healthcare. From the intergenerational trauma and classic mommy-issues to the chosen family and ‘be gay, do crime' of it all, we think The Wedding Banquet is a must-watch. At the end of the episode, stick around to hear our original song based on The Wedding Banquet, titled “Pieces”, written by Leigh Holmes Foster and produced by Ellie Brigida. This and all of our original “Lez-ssential” songs are available for purchase on Bandcamp.  Give us your own answers to our Q & Gay on Instagram and follow along on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and BlueSky @lezhangoutpod.
