Gin and Chat with Lo and Nat

Let’s chat about FRIENDSHIPS — the good, the messy, the unexpected, and the ones that lift you higher than your favorite cocktail. We even take it back to where it all began… the start of our decade long friendship and the reason this podcast exists!

From giving you little life updates (Lauren being an East Coast pilates princess in Connecticut and Nat being her typical jet-setting self), to our trauma bonding origin story, we're keeping it real and relatable. We finally spill the tea on how our friendship began over shared trauma and turned two Chapman Dance Majors into ride-or-die best friends. We also get vulnerable about going through friendship breakups and how to cope with growing apart from people. The natural ebbs and flows of friendship, and why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who love you unconditionally.

If you’ve ever wondered when to let a friendship go, how to show up for your people, or just needed a reminder that your circle should feel like home… this one’s for you.

Cheers to 50 episodes of real, raw, and ridiculously relatable chats! 🍸 In this milestone episode, Gin & Chat us about the messy magic of modern day love, technology taking over the world, and why your dream man most likely isn’t hiding at XS Nightclub in Las Vegas (Ifykyk). 

Let’s Chat about:
Curating your For You Page so it stops sabotaging your mindset
Waymo self-driving cars, AI potentially taking over the world, and whether it's all scary or savvy
Watching corn (you know what we mean) in relationships — why it might not belong in a healthy, sacred sex life
Honoring your truth in the bedroom and beyond
Letting go of your "type" on paper to open up to a real connection
Projecting your past patterns and why healthy love feels uncomfortable at first — but that's exactly when the growth happens

We get deep on relearning how to love, trust, and adjust in a truly healthy relationship, because real connection isn't about checklists—it's about showing up authentically, even when it's uncomfortable and new.

Whether you're single and swiping, in a situationship, or leveling up your partnership, this episode is your uplifting reminder: Ditch the old scripts, honor what's sacred, and make space for the love you actually deserve.
