Is it possible to build a business that actually fits YOU, not just what the Internet says is right? This week, we’re finding out with our real-life and internet bestie Keali Scheider, who might just be the most multi-passionate entrepreneur we know! From speech pathology to virtual assistant, online coach, and Disney content creator, Keali takes us behind the scenes of all her ventures and shares the way she’s grown a business on her own terms. We chat about creative energy, setting boundaries online, and how comfort and chaos can coexist. Plus, there's plenty of bestie banter about inconsiderate parking lot offenders, Target’s tragic fashion choices, and a period product that might just change your life!

👯‍♀️ Today's Banter Includes:

• Keali's business journey and why she refuses to fit in a box
• Building a Disney Instagram empire 👸🏻
• Balancing mom life and work, and why sometimes it’s just about getting through the next minute
• Social media burnout, algorithm woes, and how we really decide what platform to show up on
• Customer service lessons from Disney (and why Keali would never be a true “Disney adult”… or would she?)
• Bestie Banter: Steve Job moments, blood boilers, 30-second therapy, and gotta-gab about

Wow, do we have a lot to catch up on! Rebecca's back from her Disney adventure (and still detoxing from the magic and the chicken tenders), and Lauren is breaking down exactly how much she’s worked this year (it’s even less than we thought). We’re chatting about business rhythms, homeownership dilemmas, all the drama that comes with having a sock-eating dog 🙄, and Disney reflections.

👯‍♀️ Today's Banter Includes:

1. Real-life work hours confession, and does revenue match the time invested?
2. Little luxuries: hairdressers who can read the room, family shows we all love, and the sublime experience of sitting poolside OFF DUTY
3. House talk: Is it normal wear & tear, kids being absolute savages, or just bad builders?
4. The never-ending sock-eating dog saga
5. Gabbin’ about measuring, mood boards (or not), and a Disney debrief

We survived the month of January, and I think we can all agree that's something to celebrate! Balancing work, family, and a relentless stream of sick days and snow days is no joke. That's why we're kicking off this episode by talking about how we share the household load with our husbands, and what we're outsourcing just to survive. Then, we're venting about our latest blood boilers, like annoying trips to Verizon and losing our favorite things. And we're calming it down with a reminder to embrace whatever season you're in - and a great story of a failed lash lift!

👯‍♀️ Today’s Banter Includes:

How we’re sharing the load at home (and what we outsource first!)

Why we’re okay being “just okay” at some things this year

Why Verizon’s business model is making our blood boil

Lauren’s uncomfortable eyelash lift experience

30-second therapies and little luxuries that are getting us through the day
