    We Swear There Was a Plan…
    Jul 31 2025

    This week on Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda, Kila and Ashley are back in their organized chaos era. They had no plan… or did they?

    From Kila’s dad tuning in (despite vowing he wouldn’t) to million dollar Chat GPT ideas from Ashley, to unexpected life lessons and some unfiltered feedback, this episode proves that sometimes the best conversations come with zero agenda. 💬

    They talk childhood, therapy-worthy moments, Daniel drama (yes, again), and why women might just be sneakier scammers than men.

    As always, it’s hilarious, heartfelt, and a whole lot of Wanda-level wisdom.

    ⚠️ Disclaimer: Heads up — the last 20 minutes of this episode were hit with a technical hiccup and ended abruptly. Blame it on Mercury in retrograde, or just us being us. 😉

    Tune in for laughs, truth bombs, and a little bit of everything in between!

    Closet Zooms, ADHD Chaos & Keeping It Too Real
    Jul 17 2025

    The ladies are BACK and more unfiltered than ever! In this week’s episode of Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda, Ashley and Kila introduce us to their new social media manager, Rachel—bless her heart—and kick things off with a Zoom call from a closet, a smoke break mid-meeting, and enough side tangents to fill a bingo card.

    They talk influencers who aren’t what they seem, their signature brand of “keeping it all the way real,” and their big plans to (maybe) get organized. With ADHD flying and filters thrown out the window, this one is pure chaos—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

    🎧 Tune in for the laughs, the randomness, and a little peek behind the mess that makes this show magic.

    Summertime Shenanigans, Sick Kids, Wild Cruise News and More
    Jul 10 2025

    In true Barbara Jean & Wanda fashion, Kila and Ashley are back with another wild ride—this time on the high seas (well, kind of).

    The ladies kick things off with crappy cruise horror stories that include poop bags, shower confessions, and Carnival chaos. 🌊

    🚽 From limp mics to Titanic comparisons, you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe reconsider that next cruise vacation.

    They also chat about bougie cruise lines, peeing-in-the-shower debates, and whether red bags are an acceptable bathroom solution (spoiler: no).

    It’s gross. It’s hilarious. It’s very on-brand. And it’s exactly the kind of chaos we live for.

    🎧 Buckle up, buttercups—it’s another hilarious episode of Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda you won’t want to miss!
