Let Me Ask My Sister Podcast

Hey sis! Welcome back to another episode of Let Me Ask My Sister! In this episode, Savannah sits down with Courtney Grimes, licensed clinical social worker and Founder + Clinical Director of The Collective, to talk about something so many women experience but rarely talk about openly: adult friendship breakups.

Courtney shares why friendship breakups can feel even more painful than romantic ones, how loneliness impacts our ability to build deep connection, and what it looks like to grieve a friendship in a healthy way. From red flags and boundaries to outgrowing relationships and navigating different “levels” of friendship, this conversation is full of insight, validation, and encouragement for anyone who’s ever felt hurt or confused by a friendship shift.

Why You’ll Wanna Hit Play:
• Why friendship breakups can feel so traumatic• How to know if a friendship needs a boundary, repair, or release• Courtney’s “friendship ladder” for understanding different levels of connection• Red flags like love bombing, trauma dumping, and accepting scraps• Why grieving a friendship is valid — and necessary for healing

Hey sis! Welcome back to another episode of the Let Me Ask My Sister Podcast! This week, we are back in the group chat talking through all the things they’ve been reading, watching, loving, and overthinking lately. From the book that has Tarah desperate for a sister debrief to Brie’s current Netflix lineup and Savannah’s latest emotional read, this episode is packed with fun recs and honest takes.
We also share our current favorite products — including a face-washing routine upgrade, a wellness-girl-approved glass cup, and a few strong opinions on what is not worth getting influenced into buying. Then the conversation gets deeper as they chat about AI and whether people are getting a little too comfortable using ChatGPT like a therapist.
To wrap it up, Brie brings a hot topic to the group chat: cycle syncing workouts. The sisters talk through whether women should actually change their workout styles throughout different phases of their cycle, where social media may be taking things too far, and why listening to your own body matters more than rigid rules.

Hey sis! Welcome back to another episode of the Let Me Ask My Sister Podcast! 💬🎙️
This week, Savannah is joined by co-host Tara and special guest Olivia Austin—brand + website agency owner, mentor to Savannah, and mom of two under two—for a candid conversation about balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood without losing yourself in the process.
They kick things off with a powerful quote: “Motherhood doesn’t make you less ambitious—it makes you more efficient, more focused, and more discerning about where your energy goes.” And Olivia brings that to life through her story—from quitting her corporate job “cold turkey,” building a thriving design agency, and then making a major pivot when she became pregnant.
Olivia opens up about the realities of new motherhood (including postpartum anxiety and depression), what it actually looked like to “pause” taking new clients for nearly a year, and how she redesigned her business model to protect both her time and her income. Tara and Savannah also dig into schedules, seasons, boundaries, childcare, and the constant tug-of-war of wanting to be in two places at once.
If you’re a business owner, a high-performing woman, a current mom, or an aspiring mom-to-be—this episode is your permission slip to build a life that works for you.
Olivia’s leap from corporate life to owning her own agency

How motherhood changed her definition of “success”

Why running a big agency wasn’t aligned anymore—and what she did instead

The mindset shift of seasons (and why you can’t do everything at once)

Postpartum mental health and coming back to the basics of self-care

How to take maternity leave as a business owner (without panicking)

The power of boundaries: “calls only on Thursdays” + batching your calendar

A realistic schedule for working part-time while raising little ones

Why you don’t need permission to pursue your passions as a mom

You don’t have to choose. You can be a present mom and pursue what fills you up—it just takes reverse engineering your dream life and building your business around it.

Hey sis! Welcome back to Season 2 of the Let Me Ask My Sister Podcast! This week, Savannah, Brie, and Tarah are back in the sister group chat catching up on what they’ve been consuming lately—from the Taylor Swift Eras Tour doc and Armchair Expert to Savannah’s current business read, Profit First (for the fellow business girlies who want to get paid 😅).
Then we get into our current favorite things: Tarah’s obsessed with “The Brick” (a little gadget that blocks your apps and forces you to touch grass), Brie’s trying personalized haircare from Prose, and Savannah is officially retiring the cheap Amazon travel backpack in favor of a CalPak upgrade.
And of course, we slide into the real-life topics: travel “dupe” destinations (Puglia vs Amalfi + Montenegro as a Lake Como dupe), going analog with kids (VHS players are back??), and a candid conversation on the supplement industry—what’s legit, what’s questionable, and why third-party testing matters.
Get ready for laughs, hot takes, and the kind of advice you’d normally only get in a sister text thread. 💬🎙️
