Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Listener Shout-Outs & Questions ([03:02])

• The episode kicks off with listener shout-outs, including messages of support and admiration for Amy, and segues seamlessly into Q&A mode.
  • Notable shout-outs: Jessica in St. Louis, Steph in Ohio

2. Blended Family Dynamics ([03:31])

• Question: “Do all the kids get along? Adopted and bonus.”
• Morgan’s experience: Her boyfriend’s kids and her own get along well, especially since they’re close in age (13–18). There’s no forced friendships; organic relationships form naturally, especially during trips and family gatherings.
  • Quote (Morgan, 04:24): “It was cool to see we didn't force a lot on the summer trip… [seeing] his daughter be like, oh, I want to go get ready at their condo with Stashira… it just happened organically.”

3. Jiu Jitsu for Kids ([05:00])

• Question: “Advice for a mom taking her daughter to jiu jitsu. What am I getting into?”
• Morgan’s advice: Her son Stevenson loved it (no injuries), but the main thing to prepare for is the unique smell (“lots of feet and sweat!”). Suggests bringing wipes or advocating for better hygiene practices at the dojo.
  • Quote (Morgan, 05:20): “If it was up to me and I ran a jujitsu place, I'd be like, okay, take your shoes off. And now we're gonna wash your feet before you get on the mat.”
• Both hosts agree martial arts are empowering, especially for young girls.
• No significant injuries; the greatest benefit was structure and confidence.

4. Behind the Scenes: Filming "Holiday Harmony" ([07:11])

• Question: “Did you get to meet Brooke Shields filming Holiday Harmony?”
• Morgan didn't meet Brooke Shields; her scenes were at the very end of production and involved some last-minute script changes due to time constraints.
  • Insight: Scenes and lines often change last minute, giving Morgan a new appreciation when she watches films.
  • Rumors of a sequel, but nothing confirmed.

5. Eyebrow Journeys & Beauty Talk ([10:29])

• Question: “Eyebrow update: Did you get them microbladed?”
• Morgan’s journey: She’s removing 20 years’ worth of permanent makeup via laser, resulting in stages of “jaundice brows” before returning to her natural look. She recommends Obagi Brow Serum for hair growth, which she discovered (and promptly forgot the name of, hilariously) on Amazon.
  • Quote (Morgan, 13:34): "That's probably why the undoing has been so, so drastic."
  • Quote (Amy, 15:38): “2025 has been your year of the eyebrow.”
• Commentary on beauty trends and regret, with a goal to embrace a more natural style in 2026.

6. Christmas Wishlists ([18:20])

• Question: “What’s on your Christmas list?”
• Morgan: Only wants a specific beaded gold necklace from a local boutique.
• Amy: Requests practical gifts like a hot yoga mat towel, a custom guitar stand, and “moss balls” for home decor—humorous confusion between real and artificial moss balls ensues.
  • Quote (Amy, 20:09): “I'm not a plant household, so moss balls are about the only thing I can keep.”

7. Nashville’s Best Holiday Pop-Ups ([22:01])

• Question: “Tips for holiday pop-ups in Nashville?”
• Amy shares her favorite holiday bars and pop-ups, including Geist, Sunnies, Play Date, Pushing Poinsettias (an underground margarita bar), as well as sights like Gaylord and the picturesque town of Franklin.
  • Franklin’s toasted hot chocolate is a must!
  • Cheekwood’s holiday lights and Sip Café’s world hot chocolate flight also highly recommended.
