Episodes
Sup, Roomies! This week, a fan wrote in a question that Kelly and JL couldn't deny -- it's a doozy! One of the biggest questions of all the questions ... "Do you believe in God?" JL and Kelly contemplate their definition of what God means to them, how curious it is that so many religions are rooted in similar beliefs, and yet, WHY so much division? (Make it make sense!) JL can't stop talking about how much she loves space, and Kell...
There's a MAN in TNR this week! The Substack algo sent Kelly a beacon of hope in Mike Underell. Male feminists are few and far between, so a conversation with Mike was categorized as a need to have. Mike shares insights on allyship, the power of women's sports, and how he's dismantling the patriarchy from within. He challenges other men to question their own programming and breaks down his own processing in this powerful conversati...
We're going back to the most popular decade in 2026: THE 90s! WOOT! JL and Kelly lived it, and they are reminiscing through some good ole trivia. It's SO challenging to fit such a robust decade into one episode, so they may be back for moreeee. What's your favorite memory from the 90s? Or, if you weren't there, what do you wish you could have experienced?

Last week in TNR, Kelly and JL got real about AI and the Analog Revolution ... and then the verdict came back on the Meta / YouTube case. Some folks are comparing this case to the Big Tobacco fallout back in the late 1990s. The ruling called out what we've known for a while now: tech addiction is real. JL and Kelly discuss their own relationships with social media going back to the godfather, AOL Instant Messenger (iykyk). Social m...
The conversation about AI is on everyone's lips right now, but with the push to automate more of our lives comes an interesting reaction ... tapping out and focusing on being less digital. JL and Kelly discuss how a large portion of humans are doing a deep re-evaluation about their connection to technology. The reaction is an uptick in the purchase of dumb phones and vinyl. And thanks(!!) Gen Z for buying so much film that Kodak wa...
This week in TNR, Ambra Hubert joins JL and Kelly for a conversation that celebrates risk taking, reinvention and the power of the wisdom gained from over four decades of life. Ambra discusses a trauma response that resulted in doing a TED Talk, the myriad ways in which she’s reinvented herself, her background in art, and how she’s rewiring her thinking from “it’s too late for me” to “I could still start a media empire if I want to...
Kelly and JL ponder the state of the world and dive into methods they are using to strike a balance amid the chaos. Nature is JL's homie. Kelly loves 90s nostalgia and ... drugs?? Kelly reads an entry from her journal of when she went on a trip down DMT lane. Tune in for an insightful conversation with Kelly + JL (ft. The Universe)

TNR parties with Annette Silva this weeeeekkkkk! The ladies break down the taboo ... women ARE gross. Women have been told to sit and be pretty. To be seen and not heard. Well, WE'RE DONE WITH THAT. Better out than in, I always say! Kelly, JL and Annette discuss hilarious self-care stories, how it's normal for EVERY human to fart, and how no one should feel weird about any of it. Let it rip with the TNR for the most laugh-filled ep...
JL and Kelly are at it again. In their last episode, the conversation around a fear of success entered the chat, so they decided to dissect that even further. If you had to choose where your bigger fear lies, is it in failing or succeeding? Self-sabotage often shows up in the most curious ways. Kelly and JL break it all down in this super thoughtful friend therapy session that is sure to provide you with insights on your own life.

This week in TNR, JL and Kelly welcome THEIR FIRST GUEST!! EEEEE! Anna Moon 🌕 is one of the most interesting and intriguing humans around. She shares her journey with mediumship and her psychic abilities, a near death experience she had that made her realize that she can never leave her music career behind, and how love is a powerful gift that we can all choose. She's releasing her debut solo album this year, and TNR is STOKED be ...
JL and Kelly get comfortable with being ... uncomfortable because it's on the other side of staying safe where the magic starts to happen. Kelly used to go non-verbal even just thinking about a microphone and a young, shy JL learned how to hitchhike in a pinch ... Also, if you want to share the one item you'd save from your house in a fire, TNR is all ears

This week in TNR, JL and Kelly keep it really light in talking about bravery and … death? Kelly feels pulled to acknowledge the big, fat elephant in the room, and JL shares a quote she learned from her favorite tarot card reader that she starts every morning with. The ladies talk big cross-country moves, skydiving, ditching jobs that look good on paper but melt souls and what happens during a near-death experience. It’s all about l...
This week in TNR, JL and Kelly discuss who influenced their lives early on, Kelly's weird childhood obsession with Civil War history, and JL's stand in grandma who always had a seat for everyone. There just might be a solid dad joke in the mix because, why the hell not?

This week in TNR, Kelly and JL aren't mincing words when it comes to how they are showing up for 2026: they are leaning in hard to giving fewer f*cks. They talk about the power of noise canceling headphones and going through life blind, and they play a rousing improv game that they hope you'll play at your next Dry January mocktail party.

JL and Kelly dive into their own personal spirit guide: their own intuition. Everyone has one, and it's our most powerful tool. Think about a time when you really tapped in and it sent you the exact message that you needed, and how spot on it was. Though she speaks softly, she's always in there, and you can tap in anytime you want. Quiet your mind and go for a ride into the depths of your gut.
