While Shenae and AnnaLynne’s outspoken personalities have clashed over the years, they have an unbreakable bond and they’re inviting you into their friendship every week. They wear their hearts on their sleeve, are curious as hell and you best believe they are bold enough to ask questions and challenge norms that society often accepts at face value.

Sometimes our hosts come in with some truth bombs and this week is no different but can today’s caller take the heat?
Shout out to our LGBTQ+ family!!! Our caller this week is out and proud but his family’s approval weighs heavy on his heart and plays games with his mind when it comes to approaching the dating scene. Sometimes it’s easier to “fix” what we can physically see and while he’s put a lot of emphasis on his physical appearance to build confidence when it comes to dating, it looks like he may need to shift his focus if he wants to find that true love he’s after! As the old saying goes, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. With dating apps making rejection just one swipe away based on a couple photos, it’s easy to get caught up with the significance of the superficial but but if it’s love you’re after and not just lust, ya gotta dig a little deeper... as hard as that can be!

Our caller this week feels like her physical disabilities have held her back on finding love. But, have they? We're going to challenge her on that. Chris has some other ideas on what's really holding her back from experiencing the romance she craves and let's just say... he has her number! We often blame things out of our control for what's holding us back in life but... when we take a cold, hard look in the mirror and dig a little deeper, we just may find it's what we actually have complete control over that's really standing in our way. Chris also makes a WILD prediction that no one saw coming but the accuracy of his gift was on point today! Get ready to be inspired... we may or may not have shared a communal cry over this one!

This week, our caller has struggled with chronic illness for a lifetime and has found herself comfortable in a long-term relationship but questions if this person is “the one”— or if “the one” even exists? After a recent discovery of some fundamental differences that she’s struggling to see past, she has a lot of self doubt around whether or not she can even find the strength and means to move on in her current condition. Chris and Shenae notice a pattern in how her physical and mental health have created a vicious cycle she must break to move forward. Can she handle hearing them tell it like it is and do what she needs to — and most importantly CAN do — in order to find happiness?

We asked our audience what solo topic they’d like us to discuss and a vast majority said Roe V Wade. We know it’s controversial. We know it’s political. And we know, as two former teen actors, how often folks tell us to stay in our f-ing lane. But as two women, one of whom is a survivor of repeated sexual assault and here today because of a failed abortion and one of whom currently lives and is raising a daughter in a state where a trigger law goes into effect in just a few days… this is personal. So to the folks who’ve left us terrible reviews for having an opinion they didn’t care to hear, you ain’t gonna like this one. In today’s episode we are sharing our thoughts, our very personal stories and some resources that are available to take immediate action for yourself, someone you know or a perfect stranger who on June 24, 2022 became your sister and fellow soldier in this fight for our human rights.
Please be advised that this episode includes candid discussion about sensitive and potentially triggering topics.

Shenae became an American citizen 3 months before the world turned on its head and life as we knew it was forever changed. Officially becoming American was one of her biggest childhood dreams come true but these past couple of years, and recent months in particular, have made her question where the safest place to raise her kids truly is. The American Dream she’d chased since 10 years old has been shattered in more ways than one and the dreams she now has for her children’s future may take her out of America for good. Annalynne was born and raised with deeply patriotic conditioning that gives her a much better understanding of the mentality that Shenae is so fearful of for her kids’ safety. This week, these two confront very controversial recent events from two very different places with one common desire… to keep the children in this country safe from gun violence.

Dr. Amen is our new best friend, your new best friend, and one of the smartest people we’ve ever spoken to. In this episode he walks us through the results from one of Annalynne’s brain scans and what they mean on an emotional and physical level.
Dr. Amen, one of the most popular psychiatrists in America, has devoted his life’s work to helping people make sense of their conditions based on their brain activity. For those of you who have been following us for a while, you’ll know that Annalynne has a traumatic past that has had significant impact on her mental health. Listen in as Dr. Amen makes sense of why Annalynne still struggles despite all of the amazing work she does to improve her mental health and what actionable steps we can all take to have healthier brains.
He’s such a brilliant, genius and we can’t wait for you to hear this episode.

It’s been nearly a decade since we worked together on 90210. On camera, we played best friends for 5 years but behind-the-scenes, we couldn’t stand each other for most of that time. Our friendship blossomed towards the end of the series and has grown to bring us closer than ever today but we’ve never addressed our 5-year feud publicly or with each other… until now! What better time to confront our past and finally put it to rest than the first episode of our new podcast, right?
Produced by Dear Media
If you’re anything like Shenae, the whole journey of having kids has become a total exploration in better understanding how you were raised. This week we’re joined by the amazing, TikTok sensation on gentle parenting, Destini Ann, who is sharing with us a very grounded, easy, attainable lens on parenting that will allow us to keep it together in the most frustrating of parenting moments. Shenae speaks to seeing so much of herself in Bowie’s reactions and how that in turn also makes her realize how much of her parents discipline styles shine through into her parenting, especially in the intense parenting moments. If you’re someone who also struggles with seeking external validation, and hoping to raise a next generation who never seeks that kind of affirmation from others, Destini’s got some great advice for you that’s worth tuning in for.

For our most loyal listeners, you already know who brings all the “woo” to our conversations on the podcast, but in this episode we’re breaking down just how “woo woo” each of us will go, Shenae’s unexpecting introduction to woo, and why the world right now probably needs a little extra woo. Don’t worry, we’re not here to convert anyone, but you might just be surprised how much of your everyday life is in fact grounded by a little woo.
Produced by Dear Media
This week it’s just Annalynne and Shenae talking all about the buzz word of “boundaries”; where we have them, where we don’t, and the impact that has on our everyday lives. More specifically, as we all enter a new phase beyond a global pandemic, how do we disconnect our minds from a place of constant urgency and reactivity to a place of contentment and genuine reflection on your own terms.

Can one person go too far with what they share on social media? This week we’re talking to one of the queens of content creation, and arguably one of those people who really “go there” in terms of sharing all of their candid, messy, beautiful moments with the entire world.
Quigley got her first Hollywood shock after being told “You Suck” by Simon Cowell on American Idol. From there, she took a path to success through content creation which was far more unique at the time than what we know now. Quigley walks us through the evolution of her channel and how she went from a fashion icon with a beautifully curated feed to a beautifully candid, honest, tell-all personality embracing the ups and downs of motherhood, business, and depression on a very public forum.

This week you’re in for a treat because we were in a full on “catch-up” mode and had all the energy to share some of our most hilarious manifestation stories - some that may or may not involve kissing Leonardo DiCaprio. As Summer approaches and we pull ourselves out of a pandemic slump, we can feel our energies shifting, moods getting lighter, ease coming back into our routines, and new projects to take on! (Yes, we’ll also be giving you a teaser of what we’re both working on right now).

You may know Julia Haart intimately from her Netflix Series, “My Unorthodox Life”, but today we unzip with her to discuss the journey that took her from obedient wife and mother in a fundamentalist community to renowned designer and CEO.
We’re discussing how conformity, modesty, staying silent, and downplayed intelligence were all such integral parts of how she was raised to show up in the world and what her breaking points were that made her crave existence in place where none of that was a reality for her or her four kids.

This week we’re talking all things diet culture and how to create a different mindset around food.

Growing up in the acting world, each of us has had a really hard time both making and keeping friends. Twelve hour days on set isn’t really conducive to fostering strong friendships with anyone. So in this episode we’re diving into why it’s so important that the friendships we do have be really flexible and also free from drama - not just for us but for any adult who’s juggling busy careers, a home full of children, or frankly just a lot of your own “stuff” on the daily. Shenae shares a recent story that happened in one of her friendships and Annalynne is quick to walk her through the reality of the manipulation and baiting she hears through every piece of her story.

This week we’re unzipping with none other than Melissa—yes THAT Melissa! Melissa Joan Hart, icon of the 90s who played the lead in Clarissa Explains it All and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, sits down to share what's it was like being on a hit TV series at a young age, growing up in front of the public eye, making the progression into producing and directing, working with Annalynne on a Christmas show, motherhood and how that’s changed who she is today. And we can’t talk about the 90s without talking about Britney Spears. You won’t want to miss this convo where Melissa explains it all.
Melissa Joan Hart is an American actress, producer, and director. She had starring roles as the title characters in the sitcoms Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Melissa & Joey, and also in No Good Nick. She has also appeared in films Drive Me Crazy, Nine Dead, and God's Not Dead 2.

Annalynne and Shenae are back for another solo where they dive into all things jealousy. Shenae shares her experience feeling jealousy around body image for the first time on the 90210 set while Annalynne shares how she’s come to view it now as one of her greatest teachers. There’s room for everyone over here in the Unzipped podcast world and we hope if you’re tackling any feelings of jealousy right now (or have in the past) that this episode will act as a beautiful reminder of exactly where jealousy comes from and how you can benefit from it.

This week’s guest, Kaitlynn Carter, is someone who give us all the permission slips to change our minds. In a short period of time, Kaitlynn’s life very publicly took quite a few twists and turns from her marriage to Brody Jenner ending to having her first romantic relationship with a woman (who also happened to be Miley Cyrus) and getting pregnant with a new beau shortly after. All that said, as the old adage goes, when you know, ya know. So with this new, most important chapter of her story a mere few months underway… how’s it going? Did everything in her wild story happen for a reason to lead her to the truest love of her life, her baby boy, Rowan?
This entrepreneur, writer, and tv personality is so much more than meets the eye and we were so excited to have such a refreshing conversation with her about embracing change.

We’ve both been involved in the entertainment industry now for over 15 years, and one thing that we both have in common is that our circle of “famous” friends remains relatively small. This week we’re spilling all the tea about why we don’t really have that many famous friends despite being involved in the Hollywood scene over the years. It’s a bit of a weird - push and pull - dynamic, and we explain exactly what we mean by that with some personal examples in this weeks episode.

Shenae started the year stuck in isolation when her whole family got COVID. Annalynne started the year on a beach having a shamanic experience. New Year’s is typically a time for a great reset but what happens when the clock strikes 12 and you decide to not subscribe to the idea that you have to be someone new?
In this solo episode we’re joined by Shenae’s husband Josh and the three of us have a pretty incredible conversation about how our habits and mindsets keep us in patterns that don’t serve us.

TRIGGER WARNING:
Discussions of Depression, Panic Attacks, and brief mentions of suicidal ideation
The biggest misconception we both had about becoming “famous” is that fame would make us happy. In this episode we reflect on how we really felt mentally when we thought we had “made it” in Hollywood and how we learned through some of our biggest 90210 years that mental health does not discriminate. We also bring in the ultimate rockstar and frontman of Kodaline, Steve Garrigan, to give us a male perspective on his struggles with anxiety, depression, and severe panic attacks. Steve experienced his own mental health battle, both literally and figuratively behind the curtain, for years before sharing his story with close family, friends, and now the rest of the world.
If you’re interested in hearing more about Steve’s story, you can grab a copy of his book High Hopes, anywhere books are sold.

During the period where Jodie hung up Stephanie’s hat, she battled with addiction to drugs and alcohol, had several failed marriages, two daughters, got sober, made amends with the subconscious trauma of being adopted, found forgiveness for her biological mother in finding purpose in becoming a mother herself and even worked at a recovery center after getting her life back on track. That’s one hell of a life and all before her 40th birthday.
Join us this week as we unzip about what her experience on Full House as a childhood actor was really like, her relationship with the cast now, her journey through addiction and recovery, and how she came to terms with her adoption story.

Molly Sims spent many years as a world-renowned model but she didn’t have an easy start. Negative comments on how she looked haunted her for a long time until she learned how to assert herself with kindness, never to be mistaken for weakness. You better believe, she’ll make damn sure of that. She now has no fear in showcasing exactly who she is as she continues to build a loyal fanbase of fellow beauty junkies and moms who take parenthood in stride… with an alcoholic beverage nearby. This week we dive into finding the comedy in parenting, letting go of mom guilt, and how important a tight group of girlfriends really is.

Jonathan Bennett played Aaron Samuels, the hot guy in one of THE most iconic movies of our teenage generation, Mean Girls. In 2017, Jonathan publicly came out as gay, perhaps crushing those teenage crushes we all had on him, but making the teenage dreams of many LGBT youth come true. Johnny has more recently starred as the lead in Hallmark’s history-making first Christmas movie featuring a gay lead character during the holiday season the whole world needed hope the most, 2020.
In this episode we dive into what it was like trying to step out of a classic character like Aaron Samuels shoes; why he chose to step back into them for his Burn Cookbook and Ariana Grande’s ‘Thank You, Next’ video; and his experience coming out privately versus publicly. We also get his two cents on representation, fictional portrayal being accurate to someone’s non-fiction life experience and advice for young people listening or parents/friends/employers listening on creating a safe, accepting environment for people to be confident and comfortable being themselves.

They’re also just days away from heading back out on tour and we talked about how letting go of the reins a bit is really one of the best things you can do to raise resilient kids. PLUS, Shenae shares a brief story about how she literally had her husband on her vision board.

Life in Hollywood ain’t always as glamorous as it may appear… especially when you’re growing up as a child actor. The sad stories we’ve heard about people experiencing abuse, addiction and depression after beginning their lives being scrutinized in the public eye is far too common. Child actors often grow up to become the punchline of a joke in poor taste or a number on a “where they are now” list somewhere on the internet. In this episode, we hope to shed a little light on what it’s really like to be the human being at the source of these mockeries and how we’ve found peace in our lives after the limelight fades.
