We Ride at Dawn (ish)

Jessica shares the emotional (and logistical) rescue mission that brought her homesick camper home early. Camilla admits she is not opposed to running a background check before a sleepover. Together, they swap camp horror stories — theirs and their kids’ — unexpected triumphs, day-one allergy disasters, British camp culture (spoiler: not much canoeing), and the surprising Hollywood connection hiding in Jessica’s own theater camp days.

If you’ve ever put name tags on 152 items (socks need to be tagged individually, obvi), cried in the camp parking lot, or wondered whether you’re raising a resilient kid or just funding a bug bite habit, this one’s for you. Campers, parents — send us your stories.

54% of Americans drank less alcohol in 2025 — the steepest drop ever recorded — and Jess and Camilla have thoughts. They get into the “sober curious” movement, whether GLP-1s are quietly killing happy hour, and why Gen Z skipped the drinking-culture memo entirely. Camilla spills on her 30 days alcohol-free (spoiler: her jawline has opinions), Jess shares that her Dry January pushed it’s way past the first month of the year, and then it somehow it all spirals into a full-blown mahjong obsession. Hangxiety, red carpet horror stories, and a woman named Beth who may be quietly teaching all of Los Angeles to play — this one has range.

Not everyone gets the Premium Personality Package.

Some people get the polished, socially acceptable version. Others get unlimited access: the tangents, the voice notes, the weird theories, and the emotional downloads.

This week, Camilla and Jess are talking about who gets the full subscription, how they earned it, and why access to your personality might be your most valuable resource.

Camilla tries a DIY bang trim after watching ONE TikTok. It goes about as well as you’d expect. Jessica, meanwhile, has a question that’s been top of mind: what’s the actual difference between being nice and being kind? Turns out it’s not just the word choice — it’s everything. One is armor. The other takes real courage. They get into spilled catastrophes, the invisible “good girl” rulebook Hollywood handed them decades ago, and whether any of this theory survives being asked if you’ll switch a window seat for a middle seat.
