We can’t believe we’re saying this… but the Dirty Heifers Podcast just wrapped up our first full year 🎉🐄

In this special year-in-review episode, Margaret, Jessie, and Shauna look back at everything we’ve packed into the last twelve months — the guests who trusted us with their stories, the conversations that hit harder than we expected, and the ridiculous moments that still make us laugh.

We talk about our imposter syndrome episode and how deeply it resonated with listeners, reminding us that when we share our experiences honestly, we’re never as alone as we think. Mental health, burnout, confidence, and self-doubt came up again and again this year — and so did the power of community.

And of course… it wouldn’t be a Dirty Heifers recap without revisiting the heifer hijinx: – Word of the Week chaos – Jessie buffering in real time – Accidental one-liners and long silences – Screen shares that somehow made everything funnier – Inside jokes that just kept snowballing – Moments that were never planned but absolutely made the show

This episode is equal parts reflection and ridiculousness — a celebration of growth, friendship, small business life, and letting yourself be imperfect on the internet.

Thank you to every guest, every listener, every commenter, and every Dirty Heifer who’s been along for the ride this year. We couldn’t have done this without you.

Stay dirty, heifers. 🖤

Is Die Hard really a Christmas movie… or are we all just fighting for sport at this point? 🎄🔥

In this festive, unhinged episode of The Dirty Heifers Podcast, Margaret, Jessie, and Shauna dive headfirst into the most controversial holiday debate of all time. From Elf and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation to Gremlins, Batman Returns, Love Actually, and the claymation classics we grew up with, nothing is sacred.

We rank classic Christmas movies, break down controversial “Christmas-adjacent” films, argue over TV specials, roast Santa’s behavior in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and create brand-new fake words like nativeticulous. Expect hot takes, Southern sayings, nostalgia, movie trivia, and plenty of Heifer-level nonsense.

Whether you’re cooking Christmas dinner, hiding from your in-laws, or just need a laugh, this episode is your holiday chaos companion. 🎁 Choose your side. Press play. Stay dirty, Heifers.

Valentine’s Day might look cute on Instagram — but behind the scenes? It’s cure time math, shipping stress, pink mica chaos, and customers who think “handmade” means “instant.”

In this Valentine’s Day special, Margaret, Jessie, and Shauna break down why soap makers are already thinking about February while everyone else is still recovering from Christmas. From planning releases months in advance to dealing with last-minute shoppers, fragrance fails, and heart-shaped regrets, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to get Valentine’s products to market.

Along the way, the heifers share their best and worst Valentine’s releases, customer chaos stories, partner struggles during busy seasons, and a Word of the Week that sounds like a medical condition but actually means “beautiful.” (Spoiler: Jessie absolutely nails it.)

Whether you’re a maker, a small business owner, or just someone who loves a little chaos with your romance, this episode is equal parts relatable, educational, and unhinged — in the best way.

💘 Soap talk 💘 Small business realities 💘 Valentine’s Day behind the scenes 💘 Pink mica trauma

Stay dirty, heifers.

Tonight on the Dirty Heifers Podcast, Margaret, Jessie, and Shauna dive into… absolutely nothing. No outline. No topic. No sponsor. Just three small-business besties embracing pure chaos and meandering their way through life, business, soap making, and whatever random thoughts happen to crash-land in our brains.

We’re talking unhinged stories, behind-the-scenes maker life, weird customer moments, random life updates, new obsessions, red flags, comfort habits, and why we should probably never record without a plan again.

Jessie tackles our Word of the Week: “Meanderthal” (very on brand), Shauna gets roasted in a vocabulary sentence, and the heifers argue through a brand-new “This or That” category: Unpopular Comforts.

If you love casual, unfiltered, hangout-style episodes from makers and small-business owners who don’t take themselves too seriously, this one’s for you.
