About this listen

Moodswings is what happens when two lifelong best friends both in their 40s, mildly unhinged, and powered by equal parts rage and sunshine, decide the world needs to hear their inner monologues... out loud. Each week comes with a cocktail that matches the mood. Whether it’s a spicy margarita to celebrate your villain era or a bottle of red wine straight from the bottle (we’re not judging), we’ve got your emotional support drink covered.


One minute they’re offering deep life advice, the next they’re crying over 90s R&B or rage-texting their kids’ school group chat. No mood is off-limits. No topic is too sacred. From perimenopause meltdowns to midlife glow-ups, current events, to therapy breakthroughs, Moodswings is your weekly dose of chaotic wisdom wrapped in sarcasm and sisterhood.


Think of it as a group chat with your funniest, most unfiltered friends except you don’t have to text back.

  • Is It Hot In Here… Or Is It My Hormones: The Perimenopause Episode!
    Mar 15 2026

    Enjoying MoodSwings? Send us a text!!

    This week on Mood Swings, Kendra and Jae dive into the unpredictable rollercoaster known as perimenopause.

    From random hot flashes and sleepless nights to mood swings that show up uninvited, the ladies get real about what actually happens when hormones start doing their own thing. At one point, Kendra even has a full on hot flash while recording, because apparently menopause believes in live demonstrations.

    They break down what perimenopause really is, when it starts, the symptoms nobody warned us about, and the truth about hormone replacement therapy.

    Plus practical ways to manage the chaos and why women’s health deserves way more attention.

    Because if menopause is coming for all of us… we might as well laugh about it.

  • Hokas and Heartache

    This week on Mood Swings The Podcast, the internet is in chaos and somehow Kendra is at the center of it.

    Apparently the Hoka community has entered the chat, because a certain opinion about men in Hokas sent the comment section into a full-blown cardio session. But if you know Kendra… you know one thing:

    She ain't never scared.

    The hosts break down the funniest reactions, the internet outrage, and why some people are taking their running shoes WAY too seriously.

    Then we dive into the viral Facebook groups “Are We Dating The Same Guy?” — where women are comparing notes, posting receipts, and exposing serial cheaters, double-lifers, and professional time-wasters.

    Are these groups female solidarity… or messy chaos?
    Is it girl code… or internet surveillance?

    Either way… the screenshots are WILD.

    In this episode we talk about:

    • The Hoka sneaker controversy that has the internet sweating
    • Why the comment section is doing the most
    • The viral Are We Dating The Same Guy? Facebook groups
    • Dating detectives, secret girlfriends, and shared receipts
    • When protecting women turns into pure internet mess

    Grab your drink of the day and get ready because this episode is petty, messy, and hilarious.

    In this episode of Mood Swings, Jae and Kendra crack open the glittery trap that was the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program, aka the place where all the “smart kids” were told they were special… and then quietly handed lifelong anxiety.

    The girls discuss the GATE program and unpack the long-term impact of being labeled “gifted” as children. From academic pressure and identity struggles to conspiracy theories about memory wipes and “the pink drink,” this episode explores how early labels shape adulthood — and whether being gifted was a blessing… or a setup.
