It's a Dilly Dally summer
The Northwest Nerd & Southern Belle
Getting back at it feels so good, and we're on a roll. Join us for a random, funny episode where we discuss a little bit of this and that...skincare don't care, "we do not care club," summer bathing suits and making friends with influencers at waterparks, and how awesome it is being in our mid 40's. Let's not underestimate The Belle. We play a rousing game of "Yay or Nay" and we get fired up about dressing like the Statue of Liberty, headbands, Barbara Bush hair, Sharpie makeup, hot dogs, and the rise of the Dilly Dally summer.

When Cancer Tried to Ruin the Podcast
The Northwest Nerd & Southern Belle
We bet you thought you'd never hear from us again....well, we're back, but not without some bumps and bruises. Last summer (2024) The Nerd (Rachael) was in the thick of treatment for breast cancer. She was diagnosed in March and got the full meal deal of treatment until she finally made it through and treatment ended in February of 2025. She felt so bad to drop the ball on the Belle and the podcast, but there was just no way she had the energy or stamina to continue on the pod during treatment. Thankfully, though still recovering, The Nerd is CANCER FREE and thankful to be here....
