Ep 1: “The Tangent Episode” (aka How this all Started…Sort of)
Every podcast needs an origin story… ours just comes with a few (okay, a lot of) detours. In this kickoff episode, Kathy and Laina try to explain how they met in 7th grade and why they’re starting a podcast with their daughters — but mostly, it’s just two best friends getting wildly off track. It’s chaotic, unfiltered, and exactly how our friendship has always been. Welcome to the mess — Raising the Next Us has officially begun.
Ep 2: Meet the Daughters
You’ve heard us mention them… now it’s time to officially meet the daughters behind Raising the Next Us. In Episode 2, Everleigh and Aven join us for the chaos, the laughs, and the completely unpredictable conversations that somehow make perfect sense to 7th graders. It’s unfiltered, slightly unhinged, and exactly the kind of energy we should’ve expected. Welcome to the next generation of the mess.
