Meet Your Hosts
Cathy
Born and raised in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood, Cathy brings an honest and evolving perspective on life in her 30s. Whether it's dating, traveling, or endlessly exploring Bay Area cuisine, she shares candid reflections, unexpected lessons, and plenty of laughs from her latest adventures.
Cathy brings big feelings, strong opinions, and an elite-level love of good food to the podcast. She’s navigating modern dating in real time, planning elaborate dates, spotting red flags, and somehow booking international trips two months into relationships.
Jackie
Based in San Francisco, Jackie is the friend who always asks question after question. Having grown up in Cupertino and studied in Oakland, she's deeply rooted in the Bay Area. Whether the conversation starts with dating, careers, or wellness, she's happiest connecting the dots between our experiences and the lives we're trying to build.
Jackie brings a grounded, analytical lens to the chaos. She’s observant, dryly funny, and usually the one pausing the spiral to ask, “Ok… but what’s actually happening?” She loves unpacking relationship dynamics, emotional patterns, and Bay Area culture.
Bay Area Roots
Though their paths began in different corners of the Bay, Jackie and Cathy's friendship started on a project at work and deepened as they navigated the transition into their 30s together - sharing conversations about careers, relationships, wellness, and building meaningful lives in the Bay Area.
The Bay Area is more than a setting, it's a character in their story. From their offices in San Francisco to the hills of Oakland, the places they call home continue to be a central part to every story and life decision.
