This week on Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, it’s just us—Courtney & Lauren—headphone-less, guest-less, and maybe a little bra-less (kidding… kinda). Think of it as our own Bravo-style tell-all, but with fewer Housewives and more crystal energy.

We dive into the questions YOU sent us, covering:
💀 Our biggest fears (yep, we went deep right away)
🎨 Favorite colors, clothes, and why Zara still hits
💎 How we became certified crystal healers (spoiler: one click away from destiny)
☕ Coffee vs. tea and daily routines as moms + business owners
✨ The crystal moments that made us go “holy sh*t, this is real”

It’s honest, a little chaotic, and very us. Whether you’re walking, driving, or crying about sending your kid to college—we’re right there with you.

What if the secret to success wasn’t hustling harder—but stepping back, creating space, and saying no to the BS? In this episode of Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we’re sitting down with our marketing muse and Lauren's girl crush, Katie Wight—founder and CEO of Strong Brand Social. She’s built a multimillion-dollar business by breaking all the “rules” of online marketing… and we’re obsessed.

Katie’s helped us get off the content hamster wheel and run Moon & Stone with less chaos and way more clarity. But this convo? It’s about so much more than social media. We dive into what it really looks like to build a business and a life that honors your joy and protects your peace.

We talk about:
💻 Why Katie said “no thanks” to hustle culture—and built a thriving biz anyway
🌍 How she runs her company from ANYWHERE she wants without losing her mind (or her weekends)
💭 Making space for creativity, rest, and big ideas (without the guilt)
❌ Letting people be wrong about you—and doing it your way anyway
❤️‍🔥 How to actually have your own back in life and business

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a busy mom, or just feeling the weight of “more, more, more”—this one will inspire you to slow down, tune in, and start living (and working) on your own terms.

Let’s get into it… because joy? It’s the real flex.

What happens when the dream of becoming a mom doesn’t look the way you thought it would? In this episode of Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we’re sitting down with our gal Ashley Russ—fitness instructor, community builder, and new mama via surrogacy—for a raw, honest look at infertility, IVF, and choosing a different path to motherhood.

Ashley kept her journey private for years. Now? She’s an advocate, a voice for others navigating fertility treatments, and a fierce reminder that your story is valid—no matter how “messy,” emotional, or unconventional it looks.

We talk about:
👶 The decision to pursue surrogacy—and the question that changed everything
💉 What going through IVF actually feels like (it’s a lot, emotionally and physically)
🤫 Why Ashley didn’t tell anyone about her fertility journey at first
🧾 The behind-the-scenes logistics of surrogacy (yes, there are contracts + legal hurdles)
💔 The mental toll of “not suffering enough” and how she moved through it
❤️ How she's now helping other families build their own through advocacy + her new career

This episode is for anyone who's in it—the waiting, the wondering, the trying—not just to get pregnant, but to stay hopeful. It’s also for the people who love them, support them, and want to understand what this ride really looks like.

No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just real talk, resilience, and the reminder that your desire to become a parent is enough—and so are you.
