This week’s episode brings you another dose of Small Talk before we get deep. We start by explaining why our last episode mysteriously disappeared in some countries, an overdue Spice and Strike birthday recap, and discuss the important midweek truth that all good stuff drops on Wednesdays... Including Dancing with the Stars and, of course, us. From there, we spiral into some random hard-hitting questions: can you actually work out with your hair down? Why do some gym bros wear a cap to workout? Is Skims’ new “bushy underwear” collection giving 15th-century Merkin revival? Because apparently, there's a reason you probably didn't know why people used to wear merkins.

Then it’s time for Big Talk, where we get real about what it means to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. Nadya shares the moment it hit her that she was actually sick, how “trusting your body” takes on new meaning after a chronic illness diagnosis, and the misconceptions that still surround autoimmune diseases. We also talk about grief, joy, and what it takes to keep showing up for yourself when your body feels unpredictable. Whether you’re navigating your own health journey or just want to understand it better, this episode is equal parts laughter, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom.

Thanks for talking!
