Related AF

It started as two sisters talking out loud on the gym treadmills.

Related AF is where opinions get aired, ideas get poked, and nothing is rushed toward a takeaway. We talk culture, confidence, habits, nostalgia, and the everyday things that shouldn’t matter — but somehow do.

No advice.

No alignment.

Just thinking out loud.

Yeah, no. Just Listen.

    We Asked. We Answered.

    Random questions. Real answers.

    This is a dive down the rabbit hole of toxic habits, wild confidence, and the things strangers at the gym do that absolutely do not need to happen.

    Candy Hearts and Hard Truths

    We read conversation hearts.
    Then we talk main character energy.
    Then we decide Lynda had to go.

    This is an episode about outgrowing certain versions of yourself — R.I.P Lynda.

    Respect My Work Box

    Somewhere between rise and grind and “protect your peace,” Hustle Culture, the girlboss startup era, went from motivational to mildly humiliating.

    We talk about what actually happened… and the difference between real hustle and corporate nonsense.

    And for the love of God… no buttholes at work.

  • Ep. 006

    Wellness, But Slightly Hostile

    Open heart surgery, sound baths, mammogram trauma, nervous system healing, yoga grudges, and Kelly announces she may want to start doing pot.

    So… a very normal us.

    Turns Out You Have To Talk To People

    Somewhere along the way, we stopped being regulars anywhere.

    Now making friends requires leaving your house, talking to strangers, attending things repeatedly, and allowing other people to develop opinions about you.

    Also: haunted hotels, sister fights, Animal Crossing, Supernatural, and a brief reminder that we'd rather fight demons than make small talk.

    As nature intended.

  • Ep. 008

    Come As You Are

    This episode starts with aesthetics and somehow ends with biblically accurate angels... 

    Along the way we unpack why every personality seems to need a label now, why "looking like yourself" is harder than it should be, and why we're officially against treating your life like a Pinterest board.

  • EP. 009

    Why Are We Like This?

    We debate barbecue sauce, throw pillows, accent walls, little feet, and whether not caring is actually just another way of caring too much. Basically, it's forty minutes of accidentally profiling each other.

    No life advice.
    Just sibling damage.

  • EP. 010

    The Karma Bucket Theory

    Somewhere between luck, karma, and accidentally stealing an $8 crystal ring, we came up with a theory.

    We talk about karma, participation, scarcity, abundance, and why the energy you put into the world might matter more than you think.

    Also: unicorn crystals, video game morality, and why apparently you have to play the game.

    Love that for us.

    EP. 011

    There was a time when you left the house and no one knew where you were.

    No GPS. No Uber. If your car broke down, you figured it out. If you got lost, you figured it out. If you told someone you’d meet them in front of Claire’s at 4:30, you showed up at 4:30.

    Were we more capable then? Or just significantly harder to locate?

    Casual mentions of: Italian cookies, calling collect, a Land Rover with no brakes, yoga, Adventures in Babysitting, and Kelly’s sudden need for a plug-in hybrid van.

    We’ll figure it out.

    Or not.

Meet the Hosts

We’re not experts.
We’re not influencers.
We’re just opinionated — with receipts.

Kristin is the kind of person who throws the bowling ball and doesn’t look back at the pins. She has a thought, commits to it, and keeps moving. Kelly is the kind of person who hears the whole thing, raises an eyebrow, and says, “Interesting,” which somehow means six different things. Together, this creates a dynamic that is… productive, occasionally maddening, and very much to the point.

Related AF isn’t about being right or helpful or inspirational. It’s about thinking out loud — following ideas where they go, pulling them apart, laughing when they don’t hold, and seeing what they reveal about us, each other, and the culture we’re swimming in.

If you’re looking for answers, this probably isn’t it.

If you’re curious how people actually think when they’re not performing, welcome.
