• BITE-SIZED LEGENDS: Snack Like It’s 1989
    May 7 2025

    This episode tastes like childhood—if childhood was fueled by Pop Rocks, cold burritos, and sibling smackdowns over the last Klondike Bar.

    This week, the Rooted Warriors are tearing into the crinkly bags of memory and serving up the snacks that raised us. From Kool-Aid toothpicks and Corn Pops to the long-lost glory of Jell-O Pudding Pops, we’re diving deep into the sacred (and slightly suspect) snack lore of the 80s—back when sugar was a food group, carbs didn’t count, and your lunchbox was your street cred.

    We’re talking grocery store bribes, schoolyard trades, and survival meals that only made sense at midnight. (Looking at you, grilled PB&J on a tortilla—crispy, tragic, and kind of genius.)

    It’s a salty-sweet time warp of processed glory, packed with foods that should’ve come with a warning label but didn’t—and the stories that stuck to our ribs just as much as the snacks did.

    🎧 Snack like it’s 1989. No kale. No shame.

  • ADD TO CART: We Came, We Clicked, We Bought
    May 2 2025

    Impulse buys. TikTok flops. Subscription traps. VRBO rentals. Sometimes our purchase turns out to be something we needed even more than we realized. And sometimes… well… not.

    In this Rooted Warriors confessional, we unpack the emotional chaos behind the things we swore could “change everything.” From vibrating face masks and composting toilets to organic underwear and an unforgettable desert trip—nothing is safe, and everything is fair game.

    This isn’t just about buyer’s remorse. It’s about the feelings behind the cart: hope, heartbreak, distraction, or just needing one thing to go right.

    Sometimes those purchases became little lifelines that make venturing out in the first place all worth while.

    Either way—you’re not alone. And we promise... you're definitely NOT your TikTok Shop cart.

  • NO MORE SHRINKING: Finding the Real You Beneath the Armor
    Apr 23 2025

    Gina, Moe, and Kat are back, and we’re diving deep—right into the hard truths, hilarious detours, and gut-check questions about what it really means to shrink yourself.

    From apologizing for emotions to hiding our weirdest quirks, this episode explores the generational patterns that teach women to be quiet, small, and agreeable—and why we’re done with all that. We talk about being too much, not enough, and the battle to protect the softest parts of ourselves from the world… and sometimes from our own expectations.

    We also ask: Who is the real you? When was the last time she got to come out and play? Whether she’s sewing in silence, laughing over 80s nostalgia, or talking to her chickens—she’s still in there.

    🎤 This one’s for the woman still holding back… and the girl inside her who’s finally ready to speak. Feel blessed, be blessed, and stay rooted.

  • MEMORY LANE REWIND: TV Trays, Nicknames & Chaos
    Apr 16 2025

    It’s dinner-table storytelling with a side of smoked oysters and 80s chaos. In this episode, Gina and Moe welcome Greg back in the 3rd chair for another round of totally unscripted, wildly nostalgic, and hilariously honest memories.

    From El Camino joyrides and orchard party mishaps to TV crushes, sun-in disasters, and snack-time survival in the almond orchards—this episode is a full-on flashback to growing up without seatbelts, cell phones, or shame.

    We laugh about our worst fashion choices, weirdest nicknames, and favorite after-school meals (shoutout to Ritz crackers + questionable canned seafood). But beneath the laughter, we remember the good stuff too—the grandmas, the lake days, the concerts, the moments that made us who we are.

    So grab your favorite throwback snack, pull up a tray table, and join us for stories that are equal parts funny, wild, and rooted in realness.

    It’s scrappy. It’s messy. It’s beautifully Gen X.

  • REWRITING THE SCRIPT: Growing Up, Getting Real & Greg in the 3rd Chair
    Apr 9 2025

    This week, Gina and Moe welcome a very special guest to the Rooted Warriors table—our Gen X brother, Greg, filling in for Kat and bringing some much-needed man energy and memories. From broken childhood TVs to broken childhood dreams, we’re diving deep into what we thought adulthood would be... and what it actually is.

    We talk growing up in chaos, parenting with grace (and grit), and what it's like realizing your favorite TV shows had more to say than you ever noticed as a kid. It’s raw, funny, nostalgic, and surprisingly healing.

    Whether you were raised on casseroles and Cosby or survived off soda and survival mode, this one’s for every Rooted Warrior rewriting the script—one real moment at a time.

  • QUIZ ME BABY ONE MORE TIME: Laughing, Hiding & Healing with the Rooted Warriors
    Apr 2 2025

    This episode is a full-on spring vibe check—no scripts, just sisterhood, silliness, and surprisingly deep insights. Join Gina, Moe, and Kat for a rapid-fire round of hilarious, honest questions that go from "What's your anxiety appliance?" to "How petty is your healing era?" faster than you can sprint to the fridge.

    Whether it's avoiding people in the grocery store (by literally hitting the floor), mentally arguing in the shower, or chasing your kids/pups as cardio, this episode serves up the chaos and the comfort. We talk about the pressures of happiness, the freedom of saying “f*ck it,” and what self-care really looks like (spoiler: it might be bleaching your shower instead of relaxing in it).

    If you’ve ever felt seen by a meme, hidden from a neighbor, or healed by a good laugh—this one’s for you.

    🎤 Real talk. 🛁 Real baths. 💥 Real flat-ass confessions. Welcome to the tribe. Feel blessed, be blessed, and stay rooted.

  • MENOPAUSE: Crowned by Fire
    Mar 26 2025

    We’re breaking the silence. We’re naming the unspoken. And we’re honoring the Queen Era that begins when your hormones stop playing nice.

    In this powerful episode, the Rooted Warriors open up about the raw, unfiltered realities of menopause — the mood swings, the sleepless nights, the hot flashes that roll in like a storm… and the sacred shift we’ve been conditioned to fear instead of celebrate. OH... WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT.

    This isn’t the end. It’s the rise. The crowning. The chapter where we shed what no longer serves us and root deeper into the strength we’ve earned.

    We talk about the science, the stigma, the laughter, and the grief — because menopause is messy, beautiful, and worthy of conversation. And no, you’re not crazy — you’re evolving.

    Whether you’re in it, approaching it, or watching someone you love walk through the fire — this episode is for you.

    👑 Listen now and remember: This chapter doesn’t break us — it crowns us.

  • THE 'FAKE' EPIDEMIC: A World That Profits from Illusions
    Mar 19 2025

    Fake isn’t always what it seems. It’s not just about clickbait headlines, surface-level friendships, or beauty standards that shift faster than trends on TikTok—it’s about staying true to yourself in a world that’s always trying to sell you a better version. It’s about choosing real over rehearsed, depth over decoration, and substance over spectacle.

    At Rooted Warriors, we’re calling out how insecurity became a billion-dollar industry, why some friendships come with an expiration date, and what it really means to stand firm when everything around you feels filtered. Because confidence isn’t bought, belonging isn’t borrowed, and real beauty doesn’t ask for permission.

    🔥 What We’re Digging Into on Episode THE 'FAKE' EPIDEMIC: A World That Profits from Illusions ✅ How misinformation shapes the way we see the world—and ourselves. (Because a well-placed lie is more profitable than the truth.) ✅ Why true friendships hold up, while fake ones fall apart. (Loyalty isn’t seasonal, and real ones don’t clock out.) ✅ The beauty of owning your real self when perfection is for sale. (You don’t need an upgrade—you need a mirror that reflects who you already are.) ✅ How to show up as the most authentic, unshakable version of YOU. (No filters, no edits, just truth.)

    Truth doesn’t need a filter. Love doesn’t come with terms and conditions. And YOU don’t need to be anything other than EXACTLY. WHO. YOU. ARE.
