Vertically Unstable

Wrinkles? Please. We’ve earned every damn one of them — and we’re finally calling bullshit on beauty standards that pretend we didn’t.

In this no-holds-barred episode, Kelly and Christy are back from a hiatus and tackling the gloriously messy, ever-changing beast that is beauty after 45. From Botox to body image, social media pressure to perimenopausal chin hair (yep, we said it), nothing’s off-limits.

We’re talking:

• Why “aging gr...

Kelly and Christy are back from summer break—sunburned, exhausted, and only mildly traumatized. In this no-filter catch-up episode, they dish on family vacations that were more “logistics Olympics” than relaxation, girls trips that saved their sanity, and the unspoken war zone that is youth sports.

From wedding weekend meltdowns to volleyball sideline politics, it’s a full rundown of everything summer has thrown at them (spoiler...

In this episode, Christy and Kelly rip the lid off the mental load - that invisible, never-ending checklist living rent-free in most moms' heads. From school emails that require a PhD to interpret, to the pure rage blackout that comes when someone hands you a wrapper and says, “Here, Mom,” while you’re holding 45 pounds of pool crap — we’re covering it all.

They talk about household roles, the emotional gymnastics of trying to “stay...

In this very first Vertically Unstable guest episode, Christy and Kelly are joined by bonafide influencer, stay-at-home mom, and stealth Disney Princess, Camille Smith—who somehow manages to raise three under five, build a social media empire, and still look rested. (We’re suspicious too.)

From surviving football season with a newborn strapped to her chest to mastering the “dump dinner” content genre, Camille shares her journey from...

In this wildly unfiltered episode, Kelly and Christy spiral gloriously through the hot mess that is modern communication.

From juggling 42 different messaging apps to the emotional trauma of choosing magical hair products that will solve everything, nothing is off-limits.

Expect DMV drama, beauty standards we’re too tired to meet, and the unhinged genius of marketing that somehow convinced us we need a serum for our elbows. It’s pa...

Welcome to another no-holds-barred episode of Vertically Unstable, where Christy and Kelly unzip the weird, wild world of pop culture trends and ask: who actually said low-rise jeans could come back?

This week, we’re throwing shade at fast fashion, praising the holy church of 90s nostalgia, and asking the hard questions—like when did shorts become tiny denim stress tests? From influencer overload to “Stan Culture” chaos, we’re namin...

Get ready for some unfiltered, laugh-out-loud honesty as the hosts tackle the joys of... perimenopause. From those infamous hot flashes and the ever-present brain fog (Is it just us, or are w...

"We love you, but leave us alone!" The Mother's Day mantra. In this week's episode, Kelly and Christy get real about the holiday's expectations vs. reality. From burnt breakfast to questionable handmade gifts, we dissect the glorious mess that is Mother's Day. Did you get the spa day you dreamed of? Or did you spend the morning refereeing sibling squabbles? Join the commiseration session!

Join them for a hi...

Three iced coffees, a confrontation with an ex, and a full meltdown in a parking lot—totally normal day, right? Nope. That’s anxiety, babe.

In this episode, Kelly and Christy unpack the very real (and very sneaky) ways anxiety shows up for high achievers, people pleasers, and anyone who’s ever cried in public and called it “self-reflection.” From panic attacks masked as productivity to people-pleasing disguised as kindness, they ta...

This week Kelly and Christy are taking a candid, hilarious, and empowering deep-dive into what it means to reinvent yourself in midlife. Is that even allowed? We'll tackle the signs you're ready for change, the fears (hello, imposter syndrome), and the power of tiny leaps that lead to big transformations.

And we'll get real honest about some irrational fears that have nothing to do with reinvention (did someone say ...

Remember when we thought being an adult meant eating ice cream for breakfast? Turns out it just means figuring out why your back hurts and which bill to pay first. Welcome to this week's episode of "things I thought would be awesome as an adult, but turn out to just suck" on the Vertically Unstable podcast. Christy and Kelly talk all things home ownership, credit cards, mealtimes, and of course (literal) toilet humor...and Kelly ma...

This week's episode talks Strong Girl Sh*t: When the Rock starts to crumble (and still sends the group text). You're the spreadsheet queen, the emotional support human, the designated driver of every damn situation. But lately? You're low-key Googling "Can you cry in a Trader Joe's freezer aisle and still be considered emotionally stable?". This week we'll laugh through the burnout, the whoopsies and b...

In this engaging conversation, Kelly and Christy try to stay on topic on the significance of words and communication in various aspects of life. We share anecdotes about miscommunication, the impact of language on relationships, and the importance of positive self-talk. Ultimately though, went off the rails and attempted to delve into what's really behind Christy's abject fear of flying. The takeaways? Words matter. Don't be an ass...
