We’re back, darlings. And we are not coming quietly.

Season 2 of the Elephant Room kicks off with something bigger than ever — The Bohemian Hotline. Dalany and Payton are joined by some of their closest girlfriends — Tiya, Via, Shelby, and Shikhu — for a long-overdue, long-awaited, LOOOONGGG episode to make up for the even longer break.

Together, the girls unpack the four ideals of the bohemian lifestyle:

✨ Truth

🎨 Beauty

🕊 Freedom

❤️ And above all else… love

What do those words actually mean in real life? In friendships? In art? In chaos? In growing up? The conversation spirals (as it should), blending vulnerability, laughter, and the kind of connection that only happens when you put a group of strong women in a room with microphones.

This episode isn’t just a catch-up. It’s a reset. A reintroduction. A rebranding of the energy.

Season 2 also means:

☎️ The official launch of the Bohemian Hotline — where we’ll start bringing YOU (and special guests) into the Elephant Room

🎧 Expanding beyond Spotify to Apple Music, YouTube, and Amazon Music

🔥 A whole new wave of chaos, creativity, and connection

The girls are back. The vision is bigger. The love is louder.

So grab your tea, call your besties, and step into Season 2 with us. The Elephant Room just got a little more bohemian. 🐘✨

Inspired by People We Meet on Vacation, Dalany and Payton are officially in their travel-rom-com era. The girls start planning all of the dream trips they swear they’ll take together, despite the fact that they haven’t actually done many girls’ trips before… but they’re choosing to believe the friendship will survive.

They talk about what really makes or breaks travel dynamics, why some friendships don’t make it back from vacation, and the unspoken rules of who you should and should not travel with. From past trip fails to hard boundaries, the girls unpack what works for them, what absolutely doesn’t, and what they’ve learned the hard way.

Of course, the dream trips make an appearance including the triple-whammy fantasy:🎢 Disney / EPCOT🏎 an F1 race⚾ a Banana Ball game(all in one trip, obviously… maybe with Jackson Olson as a tour guide 😉)

Payton leans fully into her travel-writer fantasy, the kind that comes with café mornings, trains, notebooks, and vacations that feel like movies. Dalany supports the vision, the chaos, and the rom-com delusion. Maybe the girls will finally channel their inner Poppy, take the trip, and live out the vacation montage they deserve.

Pack light, romanticize everything, and come plan a life that feels like a movie with us. 🐘✨

The girls are officially dead from the holiday run, but we lived to tell the tale. Dalany and Payton try (and mostly fail) to spend quality time together while juggling winter solstice rituals, Christmas chaos, and the looming pressure of a new year.

Winter solstice kicks things off in full witch mode — vision boards, wishes, manifestations, and strict rules about what magic Dalany is not allowed to do (no fire magic!!!). Payton is brewing dreams the responsible way with readings, crystals, and quiet reflection, while Dalany… vibes aggressively.

Then comes Christmas: engagements, emotional gifts that hit a little too hard, chaotic family dynamics, genuine moments of joy, and the kind of holiday speed-running that leaves you questioning reality. It’s loud, sentimental, messy, and somehow still magical.

Finally, the girls stare down the new year. Dalany is ready to party her way into it. Payton is staying home, probably in pajamas, protecting her peace. Together, they say goodbye to 2025, exhausted, grateful, and a little suspicious of what’s coming next.

Happy holidays, happy manifesting, and buckle up… because we have some surprises coming your way. 🐘✨

It’s been a minute… and the girls have a LOT to catch you up on. Welcome back to the Chaos Chronicles, where Dalany and Payton finally spill everything that’s been happening behind the scenes.

Dalany’s been deep in her mental health and mindset era. Her energy is high, her vibes are immaculate, and the real question is: is this manic energy or is she just genuinely thriving? Meanwhile, Payton landed a new job in her actual field while finishing her first semester of grad school, learning more about herself, her art, and her capacity than she ever expected.

Somehow, this episode also includes:

🏎 Dalany’s favorite F1 driver winning world champion

🎮 Payton understanding F1 only because of Mario Kart

🌱 Payton getting back into gaming (yes, the Stardew Valley farm is thriving)

💘 The men we are currently drooling over

🎄 A “’Tis the Seasons” check-in on all the holidays we planned episodes for… and then lived through

✈️ Dalany officially scheduling a trip to Washington (will she make it? TBD)

🎧 Spotify Wrapped, favorite shows, and personal updates

The chaos is unfiltered, the tangents are everywhere, and the elephant in the room is… well, everything.

Grab your snack plate, check your Spotify Wrapped, and come spiral with us in the Elephant Room. 🐘✨

Before anything else, we start this episode with what matters most: everyone deserves access to a good meal. In an economy where so many people are going without, Dalany and Payton talk about the importance of giving back to your community — mindfully. Whether that’s volunteering, donating, or participating in things like Angel Trees, this is about genuine care, not a trend or a performance.

And then… we get into it — because honestly? We hate grocery shopping.

The girls reminisce about grocery trips with their parents, childhood homemade snacks from ingredient-only households, and the rude awakening of realizing that adulthood means planning, shopping, prepping, and cooking all by yourself. They talk mini carts (elite), grocery staples, favorite stores, sweet treats, food wins, food fails, and the meals that get them through the week.

They also unpack food waste, budgeting, coupons, smarter planning, and how to be a more intentional shopper without losing your mind — or your paycheck.

The episode closes on a sincere and vulnerable note, acknowledging that food can be complicated. Some people struggle to eat because of financial barriers, others because of physical or mental health challenges. Payton opens up about her experiences with eating disorders and how they’ve shaped her relationship with food, grocery shopping, and self-talk.

We don’t have all the answers (we’re not professionals) but we want you to know this: it’s okay to struggle while you’re growing.

The chaos is thoughtful, the tangents are snack-filled, and the elephant in the room is learning how to nourish ourselves ... in every sense of the word.

Grab your list, take a deep breath, and come walk the aisles with us in the Elephant Room. 🐘🛒

Happy Thanksgiving from the Elephant Room! 🦃✨ This week, the girls are feeling extra grateful. For life, for growth, and most importantly… for you, yes you, the listeners who keep this chaotic little corner of the internet alive.

Dalany and Payton dive headfirst into the very best and absolute worst parts of Thanksgiving. They talk food (including Payton’s fully justified hatred of green bean casserole), family dynamics that feel straight out of a sitcom, and the impossible-to-escape questions that haunt every holiday gathering, especially the dreaded “So… when are you getting a boyfriend?”

They unpack everything from: 🍽 Family Thanksgiving vs. Friendsgiving🥧 Comfort food vs. cursed dishes📅 The intense hour-by-hour holiday schedule🎭 Dramatic stories🏡 Navigating your first holiday on your own

And because the chaos always comes with heart, the girls end the episode with a gratitude moment. Reflecting on how much has changed this year, what they’ve overcome, how they’ve grown, and why they’re so thankful to have each other (and you!) through all of it.

The chaos is cozy, the stories are nostalgic, and the elephant in the room is wearing extra stretchy sweatpants. Grab a plate, pour a drink, and come be thankful with us in the Elephant Room. 🐘🧡

This week is a special one, the girls are celebrating eight years of friendship, which means the chaos is heartfelt, the memories are vivid, and this is officially the longest episode in Elephant Room history.

Dalany and Payton take a step back from the noise of life and dive into the roots of their relationship: how they see each other, why their connection has always felt different, and how their bond has grown through high school, adulthood, heartbreaks, jokes, and even the weird inside humor no one else on earth would ever understand.

They revisit:✨ The moments that shaped them✨ The humor they invented together✨ Their friendship staples (yes, Red Robin is canon)✨ The vibes of their teenage years vs. who they are now✨ The unspoken ways they just “get” each other

And because it wouldn’t be an Elephant Room anniversary without some shenanigans, the girls test how well they actually know each other with a round of Most Likely To, uncovering new things, old truths, and some mildly incriminating revelations.

The chaos is sentimental, the tangents are memory-soaked, and the elephant in the room is friendship itself.Pack your nostalgia, grab a bottomless basket of Red Robin fries, and come walk down memory lane with us in the Elephant Room. 🐘❤️

Two theatre girls like… sports? Shocking, we know. This week, Payton and Dalany are trading jazz hands for game-day foam fingers as they unpack their very different (and very chaotic) relationships with sports.

Payton reveals her deep family history in athletics (and how she was literally named after a football player), while Dalany talks about her lifelong need to stay active but loves a sport where you just drive. From the sports they played (yes, dance is a sport) to the ones they love to watch , the girls talk all things competition, fandom, and the absurd gendering of who’s “allowed” to care about the game.

They cover it all:🏈 Bad coaches and worse experiences⚽️ The electric energy of live games🎾 Fantasy leagues we definitely don’t understand⚾️ Game-day fits and why baseball jerseys are an instant thirst trap

And, of course, they ask the big questions:

• Do we like sports… or just the hot people who play them?
• Why is Payton so obsessed with Banana Ball?
• And why is Lando Norris living rent-free in Dalany’s head?

The chaos is competitive, the tangents are athletic, and the elephant in the room has season tickets. Pack your snacks, grab your jersey, and come cheer with us in the Elephant Room. 🐘🏟
