Welcome to our dessert dilemma, where Eydie kind of hops on the sweet train, swapping sugar-filled stories overflowing with Cool Whip and pudding pandemonium. Leah, our fruit-loving dessert skeptic, begrudgingly shares her cherry obsession while reminiscing about childhood treats that would make a dentist shudder. From German kuchens to Christmas baking ammonia mysteries, we dive deep into dessert nostalgia. Fast forward, and we’re still indulging in ice cream sandwiches and cookie ODs. Join us as we discuss jam canning aspirations, carrot and coffee cakes —and who doesn’t love a little cake mix chaos?

In this episode, we explore our writing practices and the different forms our writing takes. Leah discusses her blog, highlighting how it helps her make meaning, provides a ritual, and brings joy through editing and sharing. Eydie talks about her novel "Carrie's Winter" and the importance of writing forward without constantly revisiting the beginning. We also cover daily fiction writing, facilitating a writers' workshop, and inspirations from books like "Writing Down the Bones" and "Bird By Bird." Lastly, we touch on journaling techniques, from gratitude and daily sentences to art journaling.

Get cozy as we gather around the campfire to talk about what's been brewing other than coffee. We’re turning up the heat with tales of sharing the stage with Margaret Atwood, garden adventures (of course), role playing at Costco, and how hospitality is figuring into both of our lives in new and meaningful ways.

Summer is just around the corner, and Eydie and Leah are getting prepped!

Join us as we laugh and encourage and have an all around fun chitchat, as usual!

Eydie has finally worked out her tech issues and we managed to have a fun and successful time recording tonight, talking about how we are making our lives more beautiful lately and how we aspire to carry on with it. Leah is traveling up a storm with her rock star sweetie, Donnie, and making lotsa new friends while keeping the old, and Eydie is so proud of Leah’s musical stamina! Eydie is hard at work on her book Carrie’s Winter and having weekly writing meetups with her buddy, Leda, along with sprucing up her classroom and house, and looking forward to a bounty of zinnias in her garden this year.
Recommendation from Eydie: The Creative Cottage - Steven Gross and Susan Daly

Eydie and Leah are all about getting more beautiful as we age, inside and out! Leah is all over creating joyful desserts and listening to Fleetwood Mac; Eydie is finding more new music on Spotify and drinking collagen shakes. And we are both figuring out how to embrace this aging thing with grace, acceptance, and with a little help from beauty products!

Leah is not only sans Eydie but goes wildly off-script today, sharing how she is doing in the ‘current unpleasantness,’ to steal a term from Liz Dolan of the Satellite Sisters, my favorite podcast in the world, next to ours. I talk about what’s happening in Beijing and how I'm dealing with it in addition to dipping into some social anxiety I am experiencing. Getting vulnerable, folks! Hope you have some good takeaways…

Confession: we kept this podcast short because we both had to pee! Speaking of which, listen in to Leah’s upstair’s neighbor taking a shower as she shares her fascination with celebrities in the bathroom below. Yes, she is continuing to podcast from her daughters’ water closet. Perhaps next week she will have found a better place to record. Meantime, hear about Eydie’s aspiration to work at Dollywood as well as a most excellent cookbook hack. You don’t want to miss this shortie but sweetie of an episode!

Want to rev up your routine? This week’s episode will give you many options depending on your current status and what you’re aiming to accomplish. Leah dishes on her Nespresso woes and how she's thinking about investing in a percolator while Eydie is experiencing heart palpitations from the amount of coffee she’s consuming. We’ve got answers for ourselves and for YOU! Join us for scintillating conversation about Eydie shivering in her socks and a fluffy sweater with snow still on the horizon in Wisconsin while Leah is living it up in the land of cherry blossoms, dining alfresco while wearing her sunnies and a light sweater. Warning: Leah continues to record from her daughters’ nasty (and tinny) bathroom so she can let her family sleep, now that the recording time has changed to Saturday mornings China time.

Maybe we should just call this “The Burger Episode!” The 2 Chit Chat Chicks chat up a storm about their favorite foods, including our all-time favorite icebox cake. You’ll hear about Eydie’s obsession with a dewy complexion (and burgers) and Leah’s fixation with soup and big salads.
Oh, and a vegan alert: you may not like or approve of this episode. Apologies!

The 2 Chit Chat Chicks are taking their inspiration from an Oprah magazine from 2016 this week. You’ll hear Leah do a read aloud of an article by Elizabeth Gilbert about “being the light,” and Eydie will share about her cat coffee mug collection and her heirloom tomatoes. While they both believe Oprah is the queen, their second favorite queen will also be mentioned in this week’s episode. Tune in to find out who it is!

Do you have a lot of stuff that you just can’t seem to finish? It seems Eydie and Leah sure do! In this episode, they chitchat about some of their messes and incompletes, and what they are doing to either complete, dump or delegate them!
Jack Canfield’s Principles of Success was integral in helping them get started with this podcast a year ago, and in this episode, they revisit Chapter 13 to help them get their lives (and messy vans) in tip top shape.
If you want some inspiration along with some laughs and tips on what to do with your shriveled fruit and how to learn something WITH your tween (not from your tween), then you’ve come to the right podcast!

It’s not “What would you do if you were 20 again?” but “What can you do NOW that can bring back the best of your 20s?” There was lotsa learning going on in our 20s, much of it messy and full of self-doubt, but there was also lots of exhilaration and fun and freedom that perhaps we aren’t letting ourselves experience these days. This week’s episode will take you down our memory lanes of road trips and weeknight evening shenanigans, crimping irons and blue eyeshadow. Oh, and you won’t want to miss the debate on food as big as your head.

How are you daring to get real? This week we dig into some of Brene Brown’s work on finding your authentic self. Along the way we have a whole lot of laughter as we finally gain clarity on whether Leah is actually married to her sweetheart Don and how Eydie prefers to not get real with her coworkers. Hymns are sung and Eydie talks about yet MORE playlists she is creating, including one for Leah with show tunes from Sound of Music, Man of La Mancha and Fiddler on the Roof. Have fun listening to two friends dish on ways they are managing to get real and things they still need to work on. Question of the week: is wearing heels really allowing yourself to be your authentic self?

Eydie has told me that I’m not allowed to have the word HELL in my motto for 2021 and I have reluctantly agreed.
Have you chosen your word or phrase of the year yet? It’s not too late, AND if you’ve already chosen, we highly endorse taking another look at it and recalibrating it, if necessary. This episode will take you through the steps of finding a word or phrase that’ll reinforce the goals you want to work on for 2021. As always, lotsa laughs and looks into our messy and inconsistent, but lovely lives.
Here is the link to the Is This a Satisfying Thought? blogpost that I referred to in the Tips and Tricks section.

WOWZA - it is our last episode of 2020!
There is SO much we’d all like to forget about 2020. But, we aim to entertain, inspire and uplift through our weekly podcast. Raise a glass and join us as we look back on the good times - because once isn’t enough for these stories and pearls of wisdom.
Hopefully Leah won’t be too traumatized by having to reminisce about both her Shetland pony and Eydie’s Speedo wearin’ pen pal, Joseph. We will also be treated to Leah rereading a portion of Anne of Green Gables and hear about Eydie’s unlikely wardrobe choice for a job interview.
We are looking forward to 2021 - and all will be well if we remember Eydie’s neighbor Joyce’s mantra, “It’s neither here nor there.”

We tried to be succinct, but you know us: we DO like to chat so we went a little overboard on this one. Eydie gets just a bit bossy in this episode and chides Leah for being too general in her goals! And HELP - Leah wants to want to sleep.
