Okay Housewife

In this nostalgic episode, we take a fun trip back to the 1990s --when the music hit differently, and every song felt like an anthem.  We reminisce about the unforgettable tracks that shaped our teenage years, from the bold lyrics of Salt-N-Pepa to the girl-power energy that defined the decade.

Somewhere along the way, we get delightfully sidetracked chatting about Taylor Swift's new album and how people are up in arms about her ly...

In this solo pod, Karissa takes on the topic of Parental Estrangement.  You’ve probably seen it online — stories of adult children going ‘no contact’ with their parents, or posts celebrating cutting off family as a form of healing. But I want to slow that conversation down and look a little deeper.

Why is this happening so much right now? What’s really behind it? And more importantly, what can we do instead of going completely no c...

In this episode, we discuss the modern redefinition of the “trophy wife” in her 40s. Today’s version isn’t just about appearances—it often includes cultivating hobbies, exploring passions, and sometimes even working part-time by choice. We also unpack how influencers are poking fun at the stereotypical “entitled housewife,” and how this satire has ironically fueled a cultural shift that gives women permission to embrace that lifes...

This episode explores the concept of friendship camps and why they’ve become so popular. While these programs provide structured ways to meet new people, you can create the same results in your daily life. We break down the steps to building lasting friendships: improving self-confidence, starting conversations, listening with intention, finding shared interests, and nurturing new bonds over time. We’ll also cover how to manage soc...

In this episode, we kick things off with lighthearted reflections on our favorite summer activities and the small joys that make the season memorable.  Although we hate to see summer go, we are welcoming fall with all the traditions.

From there, our conversation takes a more serious turn to discuss overall health and specifically breast cancer.  Being an advocate for your own health can have its own mental obstacles that you have t...

Parenting boys and girls can feel like living in two different worlds-one filled with noise, energy, and nonstop action, and the other often marked by tears, big feelings, and emotional ups and downs.  In this episode, we dive into the differences many parents notice when raising sons versus daughters.  We also explore the importance of play, the power of one-on-one time, and how intentional connection can strengthen the parent-chi...

Trigger warning: this episode discusses infidelity and may not be suitable for all listeners.

In this eye-opening episode, we pull back the curtain on one of the most taboo topics: workplace affairs.  From whispered rumors to full on scandals that shake entire companies, we explore how and why (we think) some of these entanglements happen - and just how common they really are.

We dive into the statistics revealing surprising data o...

This week we continue part two of our interview with Hannah Sutter, owner of Hannah Sutter Interiors in Oklahoma City.  We discuss what kind of client Hannah usually works with, how she manages her household, what some of her favorite projects are, trends that are on their way out (i.e. things at Target), and current trends that give Hannah the "ick".
