Caroline and Eva sit down with celebrity jeweler Rachie Shnay, whose Mazel collection became a symbol of modern Jewish pride after October 7th, 2023. Always a teacher and the granddaughter of four Holocaust survivors, Rachie shares her commitment to Judaism, the beauty and wisdom of its teachings, what it means to be a good person, and how to keep the memories and traditions alive for the next generation. Whether you come for the jewelry, Yiddish, or Jewish pride, this episode will leave you feeling inspired—and maybe even a little more grounded in who you are.

Caroline and Eva talk with Anne Kadet, the sharp, witty mind behind the cult Substack Café Anne. Yes, New York City is grittier these days, but Anne shares how she finds beauty and charm in it every single day. From spotting small acts of kindness on the street to savoring a coffee at an outdoor cafe, Anne will inspire you to see the glass half full. While Caroline and Eva rarely leave the UES, Anne makes every day an adventure—she even once spent 24 hours straight riding the NYC subway (and lived to tell the tale). This episode will remind you that NYC is magical and make you want to book a flight, or if you already live here, at least venture past your three-block comfort zone.

Caroline and Eva sit down with world-renowned Celebrity Diet Doctor, best-selling author, psychologist, and behavioral nutritionist Dr. Stephen Gullo. This episode is calorie-free but packed with wisdom and humor. Have you tried (and failed) to lose weight? Dr. Gullo says it's not about willpower or deprivation -- it's about strategy.

He reminds us that laughter is the best medicine: “If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re probably missing the best joke of the day."

Get ready to rethink your cravings and learn how to teach your brain why it's better to wear Italian than eat Italian! After all, doesn't looking good in a bikini feel better than a bowl of linguini?

Caroline and Eva dive into the hilariously different ways men and women communicate, so it's no wonder married couples can’t understand each other. From misinterpreting each other’s words to having starkly different styles of fighting that can be, shall we say, triggering...it's a wonder any woman and man are happily married. Do you weaponize silence? Go to bed angry? Or declare, “I’m not talking about this”? The ladies will have you laughing in stitches while realizing that most fights aren’t deep, existential cracks in your marriage, but rather they’re just proof that women are from Venus and men are from URANUS!

From first-day-of-school signs for seniors to balloons for a lost tooth, have we turned every basic milestone into a celebration? Are we focusing on the wrong parts of child-rearing, setting kids up for disappointment when real life doesn't clap for them?

Caroline and Eva dive into their own parenting styles and ask: are we raising children for their growth, or to soothe our own egos and fears? What’s the true end goal and are we on track?

As summer comes to a close, Eva and Caroline feel a shift—not just in the seasons, but in themselves. With six planets in retrograde, the universe practically demands a check-in. Are we living where and how we’re meant to? Do we stay on autopilot, or pause to ask if there are better ways to build the life we want?

They dive into the big questions—about living in New York, one’s purpose, whether it’s about the journey or the destination (or neither). While they might not seem “woo-woo,” they can’t ignore that this cosmic shake-up is causing them to reevaluate their lives. Because maybe the point is not to live like you have the answers, but like you’re still trying to figure them out.

Are we all just addicts chasing a dopamine hit — whether it's clicking buy now on Amazon or obsessively playing Blockblast? Maybe we're all in constant recovery, trading one vice for a so-called healthier one. In this raw and honest conversation, Shae and Howard share their path to sobriety, how they guide others through it, and why real recovery only works when you do it for yourself. They talk about when the fear of not changing outweighs the fear of changing, and how change moves at the pace of pain. Together, we explore what it takes to stop numbing and start living fully present.
