Happy 2025! Steph and Melissa survived the lost week between Christmas and New Years or what they are calling the Bermuda Triangle of Weeks and this week on the pod, they are talking about New Year’s Resolutions. Do resolutions haunt you every year? You are not alone! Stephanie and Melissa have found some ways to make resolutions feel less icky; consider reframing! Don’t set yourself up for failure! Manifest (we can be a lil woo-woo for 2025)! Have markers! Steph and Mel also predict some Ins and Outs of 2025, so stay tuned for the trend forecasting – sneak peak, podcasts might be OUT (according to SOME lists) but this one is IN.

You know that conversation you have with your closest friend, the one that swings from deeply personal struggles to absurd observations about a grocery store encounter? That’s the space More Better with Stephanie & Melissa occupies every week. Real-life friends and actors Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero, known for their roles on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, bring their authentic, hilarious, and supportive dynamic straight to your ears. This isn’t a structured advice show; it’s the sound of two amigas figuring it out as they go, and inviting you along for the ride. They tackle the messy, beautiful, and often ridiculous aspects of modern life-from parenting and career pivots to cultural identity and just getting through the day. The heart of this podcast is in their unwavering friendship, where they genuinely help each other navigate challenges, aiming for that “more better” version of themselves. Listeners are essentially eavesdropping on a priceless, laughter-filled phone call where the cheat codes for adulting are shared alongside vulnerable confessions and uncontrollable giggles. Produced by My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts, the show lives in the rich intersection of Society and Culture, exploring how personal stories connect to bigger pictures. Tune in for a weekly dose of camaraderie that feels like a much-needed hangout, guaranteed to leave you feeling a bit more seen and a lot more better.
