Welcome back, More Betties! Mas Mejor-ettes. Disciples of Lifelong Betterment. (We’re still workshopping the name, please stick with us…) Well, the time has come. Temps are rising, the sand is calling and our sunscreen is locked and loaded. This week, Steph and Mel are diving into all things beach culture. Beach expert Mel shares her family's extensive tips and tricks: from the baby powder sand removal hack that actually works to her prized Tommy Bahama chairs with the backpack straps and her very strategic cooler situation. The ladies even get a little nostalgic and discuss the beaches they grew up with – Steph's Gulf Coast Life vs. Mel's Caribbean Snob upbringing – and how they shaped their relationship with the beach. Plus! Water safety, the health benefits of salt water, why a smol healthy fear of the ocean is kinf of important and what stats reveal about the U.S. Latine community and swimming. Nos vemos en la playa, it belongs to all of us!

Hello hello hello! Welcome to the official More Better Library. And in this library, we encourage yapping. Settle in and listen as Steph and Mel dive into all things books. We’re talking childhood reading memories— Little House on the Prairie vs. Sweet Valley High anyone? Hot takes on why Jacob Elordi elevates the Wuthering Heights adaptation and Elizabeth Wakefield had no spine. And the history of silent reading (people used to think you had to say words out loud to understand them. crazy, right?). Plus! Steph’s Spain trip and how it changed her relationship with her mom and the ultimate truth bomb: stop judging your tastes and read whatever the f*ck you want.

This week on More Better, Steph and Mel are talking beats. Makeup, honey. Is it patriarchy? Is it fun? Are you a winter or a summer? Settle into our virtual glam room and listen as our girls discuss and explain why doing your own makeup is actually a genius anxiety management strategy and the power of a full beat. Did they play "What's in my makeup bag"? Of COURSE they did! Take notes as Steph walks us through her tiny miracle bag and Mel unpacks her glamorous trash bag and pay attention as they offer up the ultimate challenge: Going to dinner with your nighttime skincare routine already done and zero makeup on. It's all fine, babe!

Hey! Hey you! Look up! This week, Stephanie and Melissa buckle all of us into their intergalactic school bus and dive deep into * the stars *. We're talking astrology. Tune in as Steph discovers her Taurus Moon and finally forgives herself for loving nice bed sheets. Mel realizes her Virgo Moon explains her entire personality... and her mom's. Plus, they debate whether Leos are absolute garbage people (oop!) and celebrate the legendary diva Walter Mercado. Hot tip from Steph: Look up your enemies' birth charts. You're welcome. Con mucho, mucho... amor!

Good morning! This one's for anyone who knows the often-fresh hell of having to get a kid ready in the morning. It's also for the former kids. So I guess, this one's for everyone! This week, Stephanie and Melissa tackle the chaos of getting kids ready ("Why is no one readyyyy?" - Miranda Priestly). Join our girlies as they discuss the wild world of putting orange juice in cereal, tantrums, charts and cold Pop-Tarts eaten at the bus stop. Leave this episode with this nugget of wisdom from Mel's free-wheeling son: "F*ck your chart, that chart can't tell me how to live my life." You go, little man.
