EP11: The Wellness Audit - What to Keep, Cut, or Cancel
#11
Last Thursday at 4:00 AM

Tracy spills all about her dreamy 4th of July vacay where she finally understood why they call them "East Coast Elites." Meanwhile, Mackenzie stayed in NYC and gets real about her love-hate relationship with holiday weekends in the city. The girls also open up about their anxiety and what’s been feeling a little off lately.

Then it’s time to dive into this week’s topic: how to spot what’s secretly draining your wellness. From over-tracking and burnout disguised as “discipline” to toxic friendships and wellness trends that do more harm than good, we’re breaking down...


EP10: Morning Routines & Chasing Dreams
#10
07/03/2025

This week on Fit Happens… Mackenzie’s back from Cancun with a tan and a twinkle in her eye (hmmm why's that!?). Meanwhile, Tracy’s gearing up to bring the heat to NYC with some killer rooftop workout pop-ups! We’re also getting real about balance: sometimes it means chasing the fun, and sometimes it means saying no (even when FOMO is screaming yes).

Then we dive into this week’s main event - morning routines! We’re breaking down what our real-life AMs actually look like (spoiler: not all sunshine and spirulina). From non-negotiables that keep us...


Episode 9: Exes, Pride, and Propaganda
#9
06/27/2025

On this week’s episode of Fit Happens, Mackenzie shares the chaotic tale of how a West Side Highway meet-cute took a strange turn when the guy already had her number (???). Red flag? Psychic connection? We unpack it. Meanwhile, Tracy spills the tea on how iCloud exposed her ex-fiancé’s double life - with men. We said what we said (happy Pride, y'all!).

Then we dive into the wellness trends we are not buying into anymore. Spoiler alert: aluminum-free deodorant is a scam and we’re its loudest haters. But don’t worry, we also shout out the fitne...


Episode 8: Sydney Miller - Dancer, Entrepreneur, DJ Booth Baddie

06/19/2025

In this episode of Fit Happens, we’re turning the mic toward the ultimate girl boss aka our very own boss, Sydney Miller! As the founder and CEO of Housework (the workout that makes you feel like you’re clubbing and crushing your fitness goals), Sydney spills all the tea on how she built her fitness empire from the ground up.

We chat about her journey from trainer to powerhouse entrepreneur, what it’s really like running a business, how she keeps her cool while juggling emails, events, and espresso shots - and yes, we even get into h...


Episode 7: Fitness, Flights, & Flings
#7
06/12/2025

Pack your bags and buckle up — this week’s episode of Fit Happens is a wild ride. We’re kicking things off with some of our most unhinged vacation stories: Tracy’s international romance with a language barrier lover, a situation suspiciously similar to the plot of Taken with a surprise royal twist, and Mackenzie’s love affair with a Portuguese man who may or may not have been after a green card.

After the chaos, we get down to business: how to stay committed to your fitness goals while you’re off the grid. From bodyweight workouts tha...


Episode 6: The Great Girl Dinner Debate
#6
06/05/2025

This week on Fit Happens, we're recapping our very balanced weekend - starting with a sober rave featuring toddlers, caffeine, and way too much enthusiasm at 10AM... and ending with a Saturday night that included one too many cocktails and a few questionable choices. Hey, it's called balance!

Then, we dive into our topic of the week: Girl Dinner We're sharing how to meal prep in a way that's smart, consistent, and anything but boring (spoiler: sauces are the unsung heroes). Plus, we're talking all about how to eat like a champ on a night out without...


Episode 5: Ick Happens (Our Group Fitness Do’s & Don’ts)
#5
05/29/2025

This week on Fit Happens, we’re serving steam and sass. After a wellness weekend that started in the spa (hello hot/cold contrast therapy) and ended in a 14-hour bender bouncing between DJ booths (yes, plural), we’re debriefing the full fitness-to-fiasco pipeline.

But the real tea? We’re diving into group fitness icks. You know, those cringe moments in class that make us want to drop the dumbbells and disappear? From trainers who have diva status to barefoot burpee bros, no one is safe. We even took it to TikTok and got your ickies...


Episode 4: Glow Up And Get Down (In The Louvre)
#4
05/22/2025

BONJOUR!! Mackenzie just got back from galivanting through London and Paris. Which like… did you know London left the EU? News to us. But real headline is Tracy getting freaky in the Louvre. Yes, THAT Louvre.

Once we recover from that bombshell, we’re diving into our summer glow up playbook. Think Hot Girl Walks with purpose, barely-there makeup because even a “natural” beauty isn’t really natural, and self-care products that make us feel like glowing, emotionally stable icons (even when we’re not). Whether you’re beach-bound or just trying to thrive in 90% humidity, we’ve got the tips...


Episode 3: ClassPass or Smash (And How Do You Say BondSt Anyway?)
#3
05/15/2025

This week, your favorite fit-but-fun besties are back with a debrief from our weekend out—yes, it included espresso martinis, sleep deprivation, and the eternal question: is it “Bond Street” or “Bondst” like… one word? Help.

Then we jump into our topic of the week: Smash or Pass—Group Fitness Studio Edition. We tried the trendiest classes so you don’t have to. From dimly lit spin caves to pastel Pilates palaces, we’re giving our honest, unfiltered takes. Who served, who scammed, and who had the audacity to charge $45 for a glorified stretch?

Grab your matcha becaus...


Episode 2: Tequila, Training, and Toxic Men
#2
05/08/2025

We’re back—and recovering—from our Fit Happens launch party hangover (shoutout to our sponsor Diageo for making it both fabulous and dangerous). In this episode, we recap the chaos, including our custom cocktail menu, dance-floor cardio, and that man who had the AUDACITY to flirt with both of us like we wouldn’t compare notes. Bold move, sir. Bold.

But don’t worry—we’re not just here for the drama. This week’s main event is all about building a fitness schedule that you’ll actually stick to. We’re breaking it down step by step: how to plan...

05/01/2025

In this kickoff episode we're spilling the tea on who we are, why we started the podcast, and what you can expect from our weekly doses of fitspiration, fun, and a little friendly chaos.

This week's hot topic: can you prioritize your health without ghosting your social life? (Spoiler alert: yes, but it takes some planning - and maybe some electrolytes.) We're dishing out our favorite tips and tricks for finding balance, avoiding hangovers, and making choices that feel good without sacrificing your Friday night.

Grab your matcha or mimosa - no judgement here...
