Is Receipt Paper Killing You? Part 2
2d ago00:37:40Tap to summarizePart two picks up right where the woo-woo left off. Daffnee and Torri crack open their actual supplement stacks! They get into why creatine isn't optional for women anymore, the supplement industry's regulation problem (and why "not regulated" cuts both ways), and the difference between taking something because you actually care how it affects your body versus taking it because an influencer told you to. Then it's on to wearables: Aura Rings, Fitbits, sleep scores, and the very real line between helpful data and health anxiety, including an honest conversation about orthorexia and what it actually looks like to raise kids with a healthy relationship to food and their bodies. And yes, they finally get to the receipt paper.

Is Receipt Paper Killing You? Part 1
2w ago00:49:18Tap to summarizeDaffnee and Torri are getting into the full, unfiltered world of integrated and holistic health: supplements, saunas, sixty-dollar mushroom hot chocolate that tastes like garbage, and the wellness purchases that were worth every penny versus the ones currently rotting in the pantry. Daffnee rates herself a 92 out of 10 on the woo-woo scale (no, that's not a typo), and they're not holding back on the credential-less internet grifters who fear-monger vulnerable people into buying whatever they're selling. Real talk on who to actually trust, why "listen to your body" is backed by more science than you think, and why the receipt-paper panic is the least of your worries. Part one of two, you are not ready for part two.

She's noticed it popping up more on book accounts lately and is thrilled to see a non-trendy favorite finally getting its flowers. Torri's pick: A Court of Thorns and Roses (final book in her re-read) plus a new one: The Correspondent — a novel told through letters from an aging former attorney's assistant, following her complicated relationships with family and a younger friend as she ages. Torri calls it beautiful and says she cannot recommend it enough.

Is Your Husband "Dad Mad"?
3w ago00:56:47Tap to summarizeTrust us, we have marriage all figured out…. Daffnee and Torri are diving headfirst into the wild, unfiltered reality of marriage as a millennial: what it actually looks like ten-plus years in versus what you thought it would be at 25. They get real about why "let me check with my spouse" is not the controlling red flag your single friends think it is, whether marriage is actually overrated or just misunderstood, and the exact moment you walk in the door and can feel your partner's mood before they say a word. Plus, they name the specific brand of grumpy, huffy, silent-treatment energy every husband seems to get when he's stressed but won't say why (you'll know it when you hear it). One of Daffnee's personal favorites. Buckle up. Recommended LINKS: Better with Daffnee podcast homepage: https://www.daffneecohen.com/podcast/ Connect on Instagram: @Daffnee Learn more at and get tons of freebies at daffneecohen.com What We're Reading: Daffnee's pick: A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry — a 600-plus-page deep dive into life in India during a chaotic era, discovered through a book influencer. Daffnee says it's the kind of hidden-gem, non-trendy read that asks something of you, and she's fully immersed. Torri's pick: A Court of Thorns and Roses (re-read, book four) — her self-declared "book junk food" era. Poolside, no shame, plowing through the series again because, in her words, she has Swiss cheese brain, so it's basically a new book every time. Bonus reco: Salman Rushdie — prompted by Daffnee's Fine Balance pick, Torri throws in a highly-recommended nod to Rushdie's work for anyone wanting to go even deeper into literary fiction.

Life Events That Change You
Jul 800:55:05Tap to summarizeDaffnee and Torri are back after an unplanned hiatus, and this episode is different from anything they've done before. Torri opens up about the five weeks that upended her life: her husband Charlie's sudden collapse, a terrifying hospital stay, an ulcerative colitis diagnosis, and a healthcare system that repeatedly failed to listen until things got dangerous. She talks about what it means to be the person someone relies on, the support that actually helped versus the comments that made things so much worse, and how she kept herself standing through it. It's raw, it's real, and it might be exactly what someone going through something similar needs to hear. They close things out with a couple of book recommendations, because even in the hardest weeks, the reading never really stops. Recommended LINKS: Better with Daffnee podcast homepage: https://www.daffneecohen.com/podcast/ Connect on Instagram: @Daffnee Learn more at and get tons of freebies at daffneecohen.com What We're Reading: Torri's pick: Yesteryear — a book club read about an Instagram-famous, wealthy tradwife who gets sent back in time and has to actually live the aesthetic she's been selling. Culpability — a family road trip gone wrong involving an AI-assisted car, and a very timely gut-punch of a question: when the car is driving, who's actually to blame? Daffnee's pick: The Divorce by Freida McFadden — maybe not McFadden's best, but exactly what you want from her: unputdownable, twisty, and you will not see the ending coming. The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo — a Reese's Book Club pick following one family, four kids, and all of their beautifully messy secrets. Daffnee's verdict: confusing for the first twenty pages, then a total gut-and-heart read. Think This Is Us, but a book.

Will I ever stop hating my body?
May 2800:43:35Tap to summarizeContent warning: this episode includes a personal account of sexual assault. Most of us can pinpoint the exact moment we stopped feeling at home in our bodies and it's almost never about weight. Daffnee shares when she first became "aware of her body," and it reframes the entire conversation about why so many women grew up shrinking themselves. From looksmaxing in 2026 to Weight Watchers at 12, this episode goes deep on body image, where it actually comes from, and what it costs us. Daffnee and Torri also get honest about where they are right now: the peace, the progress, and the Greek yogurt they almost felt guilty eating. Plus, how they're talking to their kids about bodies differently and why it matters more than we think. This one's personal. Hit play.

Is Your Dream Job Even Real?
May 2100:41:41Tap to summarizeMost of us grew up with a dream job that had nothing to do with reality. In this episode, Daffnee and Torri get honest about what it actually takes to find work you love — why doing the unglamorous stuff first matters more than anyone wants to admit, and whether a "dream job" is even a real thing or just an influencer reel you saw online. Plus the career pivot nobody saw coming and the job Daffnee almost took that would have changed everything.

Do You Matter? Lisa Barlow thinks so.
May 1400:47:40Tap to summarizeDo you actually believe you matter, just as you are, not because of what you produce? In this episode, Daffnee and Torri get into the question that might be hard to sit with: inherent self-worth. Where it comes from, why so many of us spend years performing our way toward it, and what it looks like to finally stop. Torri shares something personal she hasn't talked about publicly, and Daffnee gets honest about the cost of building your identity around output. Heavy topic, very unserious energy. You're going to want to listen to this one.

The Vibe Was Off and We Were Right
May 300:48:08Tap to summarizeYour gut has never been wrong. So why does it feel like everyone around you missed the memo? In this episode, Daffnee and Torri get into trust — who has it, who lost it, and why millennials aren't cynics, we're just paying attention. From spidey senses to the Epstein files, this one hits close to home.

Are you addicted to being busy?
May 201:06:25Tap to summarizeEveryone is exhausted and nobody has a solution, and Daffnee and Torri are no exception. In this episode they get honest about the impossible math of modern life: working full-time, raising kids, maintaining relationships, and somehow also doing all your hobbies. They talk about where AI is actually making things worse, why social media is the lead paint of our generation, and the very real case for doing significantly less.

Why Are Millennials So Bad With Money?
May 100:48:19Tap to summarizeNobody taught us how money actually works — not school, not our parents, not the Pythagorean theorem. In this episode, Daffnee and Torri get honest about the financial mistakes they made, the rock bottoms that finally forced them to pay attention, and why so many millennials are still figuring it out in real time. From Klarna and Afterpay to credit card debt in college to the quiet danger of never looking at your bank account, this is the money conversation someone should have had with us a long time ago.
