Double D's Episode 18: The Unplanned Hiatus, Social Media & The Case of the Missing Spanx!
Ahhhh, we’re back! After an unplanned break (thanks to SCC, a broken foot, and a bout of chicken pox 🐔😅), Double D’s Live Podcast has returned, and we absolutely LOVED recording this episode! It’s been a few weeks, but we’re making up for lost time with plenty of chat, laughter, and just a little bit of chaos.
If you’ve missed the madness, don’t worry—we’re bringing it all back, and this episode does not disappoint!
🎙️ Why We Disappeared… (Hint: It Wasn’t Planned!)
Sometimes life has other plans, and this time, it hit us with a triple whammy. From unexpected injuries to surprise illnesses, it’s been a ride—one that did not involve well-behaved ponies or relaxing holidays!
We caught up on everything that’s been happening behind the scenes, including:
🔹 The unfortunate broken foot saga (spoiler: no glamorous story here!)
🔹 The household invasion of chicken pox – because life just knows when to add an extra challenge 🫠
🔹 The dreaded SCC – Squamous Cell Carcinoma 😔
We’re not saying it’s been easy, but hey, we’re back in action and ready to make up for lost time!
📱 Social Media & The Fear of Judgment
Social media is a funny thing. We all scroll, we all judge (a little!), and let’s be honest—we all filter what we share. This week, we talked about how even we find ourselves holding back from posting certain things, purely out of fear of judgment.
Can we promise to be more authentic and raw moving forward? Maybe. Will we actually do it? Unclear. 😂 But what we do know is that conversations like this matter, and at the very least, we’ll be more mindful of the curated version of life we all see online.
😂 Caravan Hunting, Easter Eggs & The Great Spanx Mystery!
Because no episode of Double D’s would be complete without a little chaos, we naturally fell down a few hilarious rabbit holes, including:
✅ Caravan hunting – is this a new competitive sport? Because we think it should be!
✅ Easter eggs – Too soon? Or never too soon? (Spoiler: We have strong opinions on this one.) 🍫
✅ The glorious stretch in the evenings ☀️ – It’s officially that time of year when everyone suddenly becomes an expert on daylight hours.
✅ And most importantly… the case of the missing Spanx 🫢 – We’re now accepting theories on where they go. Black hole? Alternate dimension? The Bermuda Triangle of shapewear?!
If you’ve ever wondered how we manage to jump from serious social topics to Spanx conspiracies, honestly… same. But it’s all part of the Double D’s charm!
