Chins & Giggles

This week on Chins & Giggles, Karina and Mayra are in their chaotic-yet-therapeutic era as they debate mental notes vs. being a visual learner (because why does one of them “have it in her head” while the other needs a full system or it’s gone forever), get real about the emotional rollercoaster of having sick pets and loving their fur babies a little too hard, and spiral into the drama of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives- because the plot twists are plotting. We also dive into why we need to normalize friendship breakups (yes, they hurt just as bad… s...

After two weeks apart (yes, we survived), Karina and Mayra are BACK and immediately spiraling- in the best way. From post-vacation reality checks to the sudden urge to “lock in” for the rest of the year (we’ll see how long that lasts), the girls get real about trying to balance fun, discipline, and the peer pressure to say “just one more drink” or “okay fine, I’ll eat it too.” They take a nostalgic (and slightly chaotic) detour into prom season, break down the  signs of peaking in high school (us??), and ask the important question: where exactly is the line betwe...

This week on Chins & Giggles, Mayra said “I’m Out” and went on vacation… We love this for her! So Karina brought in a very special guest- her husband Raul- and let’s just say… things got a little giggly (iykyk). What starts as a normal catch-up quickly turns into chaos as they deep dive into living alone together for the first time ever- yes, after 10+ years together. If you’ve been here since day one, you already know Karina’s house has always been a full house of family, so this new chapter? A whole personality shift. They get into everyth...

This week on Chins & Giggles, Mayra brings in her husband Bryan for a chaotic, hilarious episode that proves marriage is basically teamwork… with a side of sarcasm. They celebrated Noah’s 3rd birthday (how is he THREE?!), which quickly turns into a convo about the wild things people say about other people’s kids. Then it’s straight into parenting survival mode- potty training a toddler (send help), followed by DIY and home renovations… aka the ultimate relationship test. They share the do’s, the don’ts, and the things they will never do again. To top it off, they answer yo...

This week on Chins and Giggles, April said “no days off” and we’re just trying to survive it. Between Easter chaos, spring break trips, and a birthday every other day… why is everyone suddenly booked and busy?? But the real tea… we asked you guys for your juiciest family secrets and WOW- y’all did NOT hold back. From messy aunties to double lives to “wait… that’s actually your cousin???”- we’re reading it all and giving our very unqualified opinions. It’s giving family drama, spring energy, and secrets that probably should’ve stayed in the group chat… but didn’t...

This week on Chins and Giggles, we’re entering our “we’re getting our lives together… kinda” era. Mayra is deep in her Backyard Reno era (send help + Pinterest boards), while April birthdays have us feeling reflective, emotional, and ready to romanticize everything. We’re declaring press-on nails ELITE (cute, fast, and saving coins), manifesting a full Raven Simon reunion like it’s our civic duty, and debating which questionable fashion trends we’re bringing back (yes… some should’ve stayed in 2008). And of course, Hot Girl Summer is approaching, so we’re “locking in”… but like, gently. Balance is key. Tune in!   <...

This week on Chins & Giggles, we’re fully in our gardening era- watering plants, watering drama, and somehow still forgetting to water ourselves. We get into our latest confidence boosters (some healthy, some a little delusional in the best way), and then we address the hate. How we see it, how we deal with it, and yes… when we spiral a little. We dive into the fascination with pinning co-hosts (and siblings 👀) against each other and how we personally get past the comment section. It’s growth, it’s messy, it’s a little unhinged- and we wouldn’t have it any oth...

This week on Chins & Giggles, we spiral into one of our favorite topics: conspiracies that might actually be true. It all starts with a viral story about dolphins… and somehow turns into a full investigation into whether they’re secretly building an underwater civilization and plotting their takeover of Earth. Naturally, the conversation only gets wilder from there as we dive into the conspiracies we low-key believe, the butterfly effect, and how one tiny decision might actually change the entire universe. Are we crazy… or are we onto something? Hear us out.    This Episode is Sponsore...

This week on Chins and Giggles, we’re getting ready on the pod and chatting about all things home glow-up. From curb appeal to decorating the outside of your house, we’re sharing the little touches that make your home feel extra cute- plus why we’re currently obsessed with our DIY custom closets (seriously… life changing). Then the convo takes a real turn as we talk about mean comments, insecurities, and what it’s actually like living your life online. Is it constructive criticism… or are people just being plain mean? We’re unpacking it all and reminding everyone to be...

This week on Chins & Giggles, Karina and Mayra get nostalgic, honest, and hilariously real as they talk about growing up Hispanic and all the things that came with it. From the “because I said so” parenting moments to the traditions, sayings, and habits that somehow followed them straight into adulthood, they unpack what they’ve kept, what they’ve left behind, and what absolutely did not make the parenting cut. They dive into how parenting has shifted for them, sharing sweet moments of one-on-one time with their kids and why intentional connection matters more now than ever. Then the conversa...

This week on Chins & Giggles, Karina and Mayra open the studio doors and the group chat energy goes all the way up as they welcome their besties Elizabeth and Krystal for a truly unfiltered girl-talk session.Valentine’s Day stories? Shared! And yes, some of them should’ve stayed in the notes app. Body struggles? Called out with brutal honesty and zero sugarcoating. Setting boundaries with family as grown adults? Let’s just say the “I love you, but absolutely not” era is alive and thriving. It’s laughter, oversharing, emotional whiplash, and the kind of conversations that make you feel see...

Happy Galentine’s Day, besties! This week on Chins and Giggles, Karina and Mayra are celebrating love in all its forms- starting with a very important game: “Things Our Husbands Do That Would Send a Low-Effort Man Into a Coma.” (Spoiler: the bar is higher than the floor and we’re grateful.) Between laughs and husband appreciation, things get a little emotional as Karina opens up about buying her first home as a family of her own… cue happy tears, proud sister moments, and us feeling all the feels. It’s silly, sweet, and the perfect Galentine’s listen with your girl...

It’s our birthday episode and we’re officially in that thirty but mentally still 22 era. This week on Chins and Giggles, we’re reminiscing on birthday highs and lows (some iconic, some we’d like to forget), debating if twins could ever survive celebrating their birthdays apart, and realizing that a birthday cruise sounds fun… until you remember you’re literally trapped in the middle of the ocean. Basically, it’s laughs, nostalgia, mild panic, and a whole lot of birthday energy so grab a drink, make a wish, and come celebrate with us! This Episode...

This week we’re bringing the cozy vibes all the way up and taking a wild trip back to 2016- the year of peak eyebrows, Instagram captions that tried way too hard, and questionable life decisions. We reflect on how much we’ve changed in 10 years (and how much we absolutely haven’t), debate the very important question of when we can finally retire the diaper bag, and spill our personal life non-negotiables aka the bare minimum required for happiness. From mom bag confessions to existential breakthroughs, it’s a comfy, chaotic, laugh-out-loud episode that feels like a group chat voi...

Chins & Giggles is BACK for the season 5 premiere, and Karina and Mayra are wasting no time diving in. This week, they officially declare what they’re leaving in 2026 (habits, mindsets, and maybe a few people *tea*), unpack why we all seem way closer to our mom’s side of the family than our dad’s, and get real about their hair loss journey after the internet had thoughts about Mayra’s recent hair reveal. Karina shares an update on her new house- equal parts exciting and nervous- and the episode wraps with a nostalgic walk down memory lane as they rem...

It’s the season finale and the girls are going out the only way they know how- laughing, reflecting, and oversharing just a little. This week on Chins and Giggles, Karina and Mayra are back in the studio with their besties Krystal and Elizabeth for a full catch-up that hits every lane. From real talk about weight loss journeys, to the tea on Krystal’s new man (yes… that kind of update), nothing is off limits. The group looks back on their 2025 highlights… what they’re deeply thankful for, what they’re proudly leaving behind, and how much life has shifted...

This week on Chins and Giggles, Karina and Mayra are joined by the iconic Murillo Twins and things get REAL!!  The girls talk about what it’s like growing up as twins, building confidence while still carving out your own identity, and navigating life, faith, and vulnerability in the public eye. Then, because this is Chins and Giggles, it all spirals into a hilariously chaotic game of White Elephant that proves competitive energy runs deep and nothing is sacred once gifts are on the line. It’s heartfelt, funny, and just unhinged enough. Press play for laughs and a littl...

This week on Chins and Giggles, the girls are unhinged in the best way. Karina casually drops that she’s doing a water fast, which immediately spirals into chaos, concern, and the very real question of whether this is wellness… or a much needed reset. Then things get REAL real as the girls dive into heavy periods because yeah, girl struggles, and nothing is off-limits on this podcast. Mayra then flexes on everyone with her Christmas party that’s so chic, so curated, so powerful it’s honestly giving Kris Jenner holiday empire energy. Naturally, this leads to the scare of...

This week on Chins & Giggles, we’re fresh off Thanksgiving and feeling no regrets. We’re talking over-eating, stretchy pants, and why we’re actually proud of how hard we went at the dinner table. Then the girls get real about that weird post-holiday emotional dip (even though it feels a little too early?), dive into our reoccurring dreams, and unpack what our attachment styles say about us. Plus, can venting actually be healthy… or are we all just trauma-bonding? It’s deep, it’s funny, it’s soooo us. You already know it’s a must-listen! Thi...

Happy Thanksgiving y’all!! This week on Chins & Giggles we talk about why Mexico weddings that hit DIFFERENT and airport trauma we’re still recovering from. Let’s talk about great gift debate- do you hint or stay surprised?!  From “best present ever” to “it’s not really my vibe” we’re spilling it all on our past gifts. Grab your leftovers, pour the wine, and come giggle with us. This Episode is Sponsored by:AT&T- Happy Holidays from AT&T.
