Welcome back to the And Also Podcast — your weekly reminder that gratitude and chaos can absolutely coexist. This week, Summer, Sheyda, and Madeline are deep in their Thanksgiving era, talking traditions, blackout Wednesday lore, family drama, and why everyone seems to be running a 5K they never actually signed up for. From rattlesnake Easter stories to embarrassing bar-crawl run-ins, the girls cover every unhinged pre-holiday ritual. Then things get cozy and reflective as they dive into what gratitude really looks like — the brain science, the mindset shift, the hard seasons, and the moments that change you. They unpack family dynamics, growing pains, therapy breakthroughs, and the art of finding joy even when life is messy. There are real tears, real laughs, and real talk about community, healing, and becoming your favorite version of yourself. Whether you're cooking, hiding from your relatives, or hungover in sweatpants and a dress at the same time, this episode feels like sitting around the table with your funniest, most grounded friends. Grab a drink, grab a plate, and come be grateful (and slightly delusional) with us.
