Inner Childish

Inner Childish is what happens when two lifelong best friends hit record on the conversations they’ve been having since childhood: honest, hilarious, and never surface-level. Through their 25 years of friendship, viral content creators Victoria & Aubrey have evolved a hundred times and somehow never outgrew the need to debrief every single thing together. Inner Childish is part sleepover conversation, part therapy session, and part voice memo you were never supposed to hear. New episodes every Tuesday!

Real Pod

Burnt toast. Spilled milk. An Ema Savahl skirt. Vic has theories she swears make the bad days easier, and Aubrey finds the darkest possible version of every one of them inside four seconds. Then the two of them get honest about what happens to a marriage when neither person has the capacity for the argument they're already having. If your partner is in a busy season, if you're the one who can apologize to anybody except the person you live with, or if you keep fighting about something that isn't the thing, they’ve got advice for you! Vic also gets her closet gutted by a fashionista friend and comes out with a rule about tank tops you'll be thinking about all week. Then it's Star 67, where one bride has a maid of honor problem nobody wants to say out loud and another caller pitches a genius double date experiment. Keep tuning in every Tuesday for the raw content from your internet besties you won't find anywhere else!

Navigating Fights w Your Partner, Outfit Problems, & Burnt Toast Theory

Your girls are going down memory lane to share something neither one has ever talked about publicly: their toxic past relationships. People look at two happy marriages and assume it always looked like this… but it definitely didn't. Both Aubrey and Vic pushed the right person away at first because of past relationship trauma, and supported each other through all of it. This episode is the honest story of why they stayed in relationships that were bad for them, how it affected their friendship, and what finally changed. They give advice for anyone who's in something they can't see clearly yet, for the friend on the sidelines trying to figure out what to say and when to say it, and for anyone who just got broken up with and can't picture what's on the other side. Vic and Aubrey also run through the red flags they both missed at the time and would clock in a second now.

Toxic Relationship Tour: Our Exes, Six Years Single & Finding The Good Ones

Your besties are back, and this one is a full yap. No agenda, no topic, just Vic and Aubrey with the world as their oyster. You'll hear about the eighth grade DC trip that almost ended two very promising futures, the scrunchie that has Aubrey questioning whether she and Vic are actually sisters, and what happens when Vic decides she's not a quitter at 13 weeks pregnant. They get into how to get the men in your life to actually open up, why "the belly is bellying" is the highest compliment you can give a pregnant friend, and the brand drama Aubrey swore she was going to let lay. Then it's Star 67, where one caller is stressing about a bachelorette trip nobody is planning and another just wants permission to dye her hair, and Something Beautiful.

Marital Debriefs, Scrunchie-Gate & Bachelorette Party Drama

Aubrey is calling in from a hospital bed with ultrasound gel as her mic, and she is sharing live with Victoria what went down. What follows is the full account of an emergency room visit that escalated from "please go now" to a wide-awake colonoscopy in about ninety minutes, complete with a doctor who looked like he had been on Love Island, a nurse who played Chappell Roan so she could dissociate, and the “something beautiful” that came from it. Then, because this is still a bestie catch-up, the two of them get into the thing underneath all of it: how much of your life you actually owe the people watching it. Victoria admits how hard it can be to not care about people on the internet’s opinion, and how she’s letting her life guide her content instead of the other way around. Aubrey shares about the pregnancy no-no’s she doesn’t care about owning and whether or not she has a favorite baby name.

Live from the ER: a Spontaneous Colonoscopy, Hot Doctor, & Internet Boundaries

Vic is pregnant! And the first person to find out was not her husband. This week your besties tell you everything: you'll hear how they ended up trying to conceive at the exact same time, what it actually felt like to be the pregnant one while your best friend was still waiting, and Aubrey's soapbox on the single most infuriating piece of advice anyone gives a woman who is trying. They get into the two books that ran their whole trying to conceive era, Taking Charge of Your Fertility and Expecting Better, and everything they did to prepare for this next chapter. Vic also gets honest about the part nobody warns you about, the miscarriage anxiety in those first weeks, the worst pregnancy symptoms she’s had, plus the four affirmations she still says to her baby. Then Star 67 rings twice, and gives Vic and Aubrey a chance to help someone work through if they want to have kids or not. Subscribe and follow so you never miss an episode!

VICTORIA IS PREGNANT! Our First Trimesters & Conception Journeys

Two psychedelic mushroom trips, two wildly different experiences, and none of it has ever left the group chat until now. First, you'll get a bestie catch-up covering the parts of pregnancy absolutely nobody warns you about, and the Crunchwrap Supreme that nearly ended a 25 year friendship. Then, Vic and Aubrey are finally telling you everything: how they each decided to do mushroom therapy, what they wanted out of it, and what actually happened once the eye mask went on. One of them met her spirit guides and came out with something she hasn't stopped thinking about since. The other one spent four hours in a textbook D.A.R.E. hellscape and came out with an answer she wasn't looking for. Would they do it again? Tune in to find out. Plus the very first Star 67 call in, where an anonymous listener walks us through her hard-won realization about being a shy pooper. This one starts on a bathroom floor and ends somewhere you won't see coming. Subscribe and follow so you never miss an episode!

This episode includes detailed discussion of psilocybin use. Nothing in it is medical advice and neither of us is telling you to go do this.

Welcome to Inner Childish! 25 Years of Lore, A Loving Roast, & Our Villain Origin Stories

After seven years, we’re saying goodbye to Real Pod as you know it. In this emotional final episode, Victoria reflects on the journey from recording scrappy early interviews in her home to building a 10M+ download podcast that became a true safe space for honest, vulnerable conversations. She opens up about outgrowing the version of herself who started the show, the quiet realization that the “roaring fire” had faded, and why choosing to pivot is both scary and necessary. Vic shares the biggest lessons Real Pod taught her, from the power of putting yourself out there to the reminder that no one has life figured out. Finally, Victoria expresses deep gratitude to you: the community who made it all possible. This isn’t the end, it’s a turning point. Tune in for a heartfelt sendoff and a glimpse into what’s next!

The Next Chapter

This book turned Vic into a self-proclaimed mini OBGYN, so today she is joined by the woman behind it: Toni Weschler. Toni is the author of the groundbreaking book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, the guide Vic thinks should be required reading for every woman. In this episode, Victoria sits down with the renowned public health educator and fertility expert to break down menstrual cycles, fertility awareness, and why understanding your body is empowering whether you want kids someday or never. Toni explains how to identify your fertile window, what cervical mucus and other body signals really mean, and why so many of us grow up without the most basic education about our own reproductive health. From natural birth control to trying to conceive to simply understanding your body better, this conversation is a crash course in fertility literacy every person with a period deserves.

Vic and Max are back from their 2.5 week sprinter van trip, and this recap is about way more than campgrounds and road snacks. Victoria shares what the trip taught her about letting go of control, trusting detours, and creating space to actually hear her inner voice again.

Plus, Vic and Max reflect on getting older, navigating life transitions, and why this trip gave them both a deeper sense of clarity about what they want next.
