Campers and Dumpster Fires

Laci and Ellen sit down together to discuss the latest updates in their lives and Rachel Hollis’ three-part social media disaster. You are going to hear about what went wrong with Rachel’s posts and if there is an impact on society as a result of this. 

Laci opens up the show talking to us about her experience buying a camper. She decided she needed a camper when the campground only offered a ten-foot bottomless pit of wonder for her kids to use for a toilet. She found herself not being able to pull the trigger on buying it, pondered the thought for a while, bought it, and then cried all the way home because she just spent a crap ton of money on said camper! Although a truly funny story, Laci and Ellen discuss the money mindset that many moms can relate to. Laci tells us about her childhood and how that has affected her identity related to money.  

Ellen discusses building a house and the stress related to it. Her baby flipped from head down and she blames the house stress. Would you stay with your in-laws with a newborn baby? Well, Ellen might have to… tune in to hear if her house will be done in time or not! 

Did Rachel Hollis’ true colors come out in her latest social media disaster? Laci and Ellen discuss how Rachel is totally disconnected from reality when comparing herself with the likes of Oprah and Ruth Ginsburg. Ellen and Laci discuss how the publicity surrounding Rachel’s actions is creating publicity for her at this moment. Ellen reminds us that Rachel built her brand by empowering, inspiring, and being relatable and then wham, smacks us in the face when she cuts down the people that got her there and bought into her “relatable” brand. Laci struggles with the fact that Rachel doesn’t feel she is relatable. Rachel has now walked back her stance on serving the 1.7 million people in a positive and relatable way. What do you think and is there anyone out there that feels Rachel has a leg to stand on?

So, the ladies want to know: do you think Laci is crazy for not wanting to spend money? Are you building a house right now? What do you feel about Rachel Hollis’ recent mess up and do you still follow her? Are you part of the loyal 1.7 million?
