Hi, y'all. We’re trying to keep these “Top 10” episodes light and fluffy, but this is not a light and fluffy time in our lives. We’re moving forward, one step at a time. So . . . let’s talk about books! We’ll attempt to “numerize” our favorites! Here’s an Amazon List of the books we recommend in this episode. Enjoy! Mary references a podcast from Elevation Church: watch this incredible sermon from Pastor Travis Greene here on YouTube. It’s a set-up, friends. The universe is conspiring FOR

Greetings, movie lovers!! As much as Mary would like for this to be an episode about Space Movies (here’s a good list to start from!), Lexy has some major issues with them. If you like space movies, and haven’t watched Interstellar (2014), Mary highly recommends it, though it would likely give Lexy a panic attack. So between the two of us, it’s a pretty good cross-section of our personalities. Lexy’s number 10 is Dances With Wolves (1990). Although Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) did not

We had to get ourselves a little hyped-up to record today, but luckily we had our Bettys Podcast HYPE Playlist! Check it out here on Spotify. Mary complains for a bit about the registration process for the lottery for tickets to the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert in Salt Lake City. It’s frustrating, because it’s a lovely (and free!) concert every year. Check out this

Hey, Lovers! We hope you're "doing fine, and looking fine.” Mary and Alexis welcome our sister Rebecca as a special guest on this episode to talk about our friend T. Swizzle. We went to see the Eras Tour Concert Film recently, so she’s been top of mind lately. Also, there is a lil’ bit of swearing on this episode, so be prepared for some Vigilante Sh*t (and the like). Rebecca’s favorite album is Red, Lexy’s favorite is Folklore, and apparently Mary’s favorite is 1989 (Taylor’s Version coming

Don’t we all love ‘too much Lexy?’ When you listen to the Bettys Podcast, you too can hear gems like, “Which side of the cactus is South?” Anyway, today Mary and Alexis are talking about some of our favorite (and if not favorite, then at least unforgettable) vacation memories. We’ve got some from Mount Rushmore, Venice, Mexico, Glacier National Park, Disneyland, and more! Please get in touch!

Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of scams and we’ve all done some dumb things. Today’s Top Ten are some stories that are either a) relatable, or b) should help you feel smarter than we are. Mary almost fell victim to a scammer in an attempt to get even more Stanley mugs (get your own Quencher here–this website is legit). Beware of Phishers (learn some tips on avoiding them here), think twice before you send money overseas via Western Union, accepting payment by check, or when a five-year-old

We’re hooked on a feeling, Bettys and Jacks! As Alexis and Mary lead up to our 100th episode and one-year anniversary, we are continuing to do our 10 “Top Ten Lists,” and today it is some epic HYPE songs! This episode is a little chaotic, because we got a nation-wide phone alert, dogs barking, and a BeReal notification. Hmm . . . maybe we need to minimize distractions while we’re recording! We’ve got Rihanna, Blackstreet, Lizzo, Adam Lambert, Tina Turner, Elton John, Queen, and TSwift, to name a

It’s a Beautiful Day in October, Bettys and Jacks!! Alexis and Mary start off “Smoking With Jesus” (using Palo Santo), and we’re going to try and keep things light and fluffy for A Little While, leading up to our 100th episode! We’re going to do 10 “Top Ten Lists” (because 10 x 10 = 100, right? Because, Math). Mary has been Stuck In A Moment as a U2 fan for years, and has lots of opinions on them. Mary also went to Las Vegas to see U2 at the Sphere in on opening night (read a review from Variety

Let’s DO IT, Bettys!! We hope you’re ready for some tween-level humor and slightly naughty random conversation today; Alexis has been playing Pokémon Go to connect with Zeke, her 12-year-old, and Mary has perfected her ability to make anything sound dirty from her time working in the O.R.. So fair warning–the word “candies” may be ruined for you from here on out. We’re still talking about Dan in Real Life, the 2007 movie starring Steve Carell, which you can stream here on Disney+.

Okay. “Do you remember the 21st of September”? We do, and it’s now on Mary and Lexy’s HYPE playlist (check it out on Spotify here!) We talk a little about how much we love the month of September, and its’ kick-into-gear vibe. This song reminds Mary of one of her favorite movies: Dan in Real Life, the 2007 movie starring Steve Carrell, Juliette Binoche, and Dane Cook (stream it here on Disney+). Check out the hilarious scene here, where Dan is trying to not show his attraction to his brother’s

Midlife Cry, Sis (Formerly known as The Bettys Podcast) ·

2023/09/29

Happy Friday, friends! We’re talking a little more about belonging today. Here are some of the quotes: From Brené Brown: “The truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect.” Lexy talks about a song called “Love Me For What I Am” by the Carpenters.

Good day, Bettys and Jacks! You may think you know us, because we updated our pictures recently, but . . . actually Lexy’s hair is almost black now, and Mary’s hair is quite blonde. And we both want to go red for Fall. And next summer we’ll wanna go blonde again. Just when you think you know us! “It’s a circle!” Everything comes down to belonging. Younger kids have a confidence that we admire as adults, which comes from naturally belonging to themselves. As we grow up, shame clouds our resilience

Howdy ho, neighbors! This Betty Byte was recorded from our hotel room in Austin, Texas, so please forgive the burps and mouth sounds and stuff; there’s not a lot of editing here (which is a brave thing for Mary!). Lexy is brave when it comes to bugs, but she will scream. Anyway, beware of snakes, enjoy the music, and please, DON’T BE A ‘JIM.’ Please get in touch!

Yeehaw! Mary and Lexy recorded this episode from their iPhone, in a hotel room in Austin, Texas. We were very tired after attending a Coaching Summit with Brendon Burchard, and we were a little loopy. So there’s a lot of laughing, ums, mouth sounds and likes, because of minimal editing. #sorrynotsorry We share a couple of our adventures, such as the underwhelming bats. Lexy talks about wanting to see the “famous” gas station Buc-ee’s (Bucci’s?). We didn’t actually get there, but we sure had a good

Hello, Bettys and Jacks! Even though Alexis doesn’t know Tears for Fears, she and Mary can have a light and fluffy discussion about music, reptiles, and road trip adventures. Listen to our Glacier Road Trip playlist here, and beware of Rawlins, Wyoming. Also, were you aware of the toad plague in Arizona during monsoon season? Weird. Get a (disturbing) taste of it by watching the scene from Magnolia here on YouTube. Billie Eilish’s song “What Was I Made For” from the Barbie movie has really struck

Hello, Bettys and Jacks! We are fighting with technology today, but luckily the audio decided to cooperate. I probably shouldn’t point that out, but we’re very glad that we sound good! It is back-to-school season, so Mary and Alexis are kinda fighting with everything. Mary definitely went a bit overboard with the school supplies this year. Since Salt Lake Singers has started back up, Mary will take her excessive number of pencils to her choir practice to share. Listen to our interview with Dr. Jane

You’ll have to listen to find out, but we’re pretty sure it has more to do with our friends–angels on earth–being in-tune with their higher power to answer such a specific need so kindly and anonymously. Don’t dismiss the tender mercies and little miracles in your life. Please get in touch! Send us an email at thebettyspodcast@gmail.com, and please follow us on Instagram

Greetings, Bettys and Jacks! Alexis starts us off today with a story about her closing performance of Seussical (Mic drop! Literally!). It wasn’t a “major wedgie,” but it was definitely a Circus McGerkus. Even though Lexy is the comic relief, the fact that she kept her cool, enlisted her friends to help, and finished the show tells you a lot about the kind of person she is. Mary started researching (and listening to a little bit of) Kanye West. He’s a controversial rapper/singer/producer/fashion

Hello, Bettys and Jacks. Mary and Alexis are back, and (as usual) we’re struggling getting into our back-to-school routines. So if you haven’t left any of your kids at home alone, and you can keep track of your stories while you’re trying to tell them, we think you’re doing pretty well. We’re kinda functioning brain-dead, so thanks for continuing to listen! Lexy has heard this question a lot lately: How are you not falling apart? She was watching a presentation by Tony Robbins, who talked about
