This week on Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda, Kila and Ashley are back in their organized chaos era. They had no plan… or did they? From Kila’s dad tuning in (despite vowing he wouldn’t) to million dollar Chat GPT ideas from Ashley, to unexpected life lessons and some unfiltered feedback, this episode proves that sometimes the best conversations come with zero agenda. 💬 They talk childhood, therapy-worthy moments, Daniel drama (yes, again), and why women might just be sneakier scammers than men. As always, it’s hilarious, heartfelt, and a whole lot of Wanda-level wisdom. ⚠️ Disclaimer: Heads up — the last 20 minutes of this episode were hit with a technical hiccup and ended abruptly. Blame it on Mercury in retrograde, or just us being us. 😉 Tune in for laughs, truth bombs, and a little bit of everything in between!

The ladies kick things off with crappy cruise horror stories that include poop bags, shower confessions, and Carnival chaos. 🌊 🚽 From limp mics to Titanic comparisons, you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe reconsider that next cruise vacation. They also chat about bougie cruise lines, peeing-in-the-shower debates, and whether red bags are an acceptable bathroom solution (spoiler: no). It’s gross. It’s hilarious. It’s very on-brand. And it’s exactly the kind of chaos we live for. 🎧 Buckle up, buttercups—it’s another hilarious episode of Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda you won’t want to miss!
