Slightly Unsupervised | Best Friends Podcast | Real Talk on Female Friendship
Two best friends. Zero filters. All truth.
We’re not married—but we kinda are.
Slightly Unsupervised is a podcast about the kind of soulmates who don’t come with a marriage license. Hosted by longtime best friends Jennifer and Jackie, this show dives into the real, raw, and ridiculously funny side of female friendship, emotional growth, and what it really takes to stay connected through the chaos of life.
From navigating toxic friendships and healing after breakups, to starting a trademarked friendship ceremony called Bestiemony®, we’re here to celebrate the messy magic of bestie energy.
Expect honest conversations about:
- Friendship breakups and red flags
- Loyalty, boundaries, and emotional support
- Motherhood, identity, and growing up side-by-side
- And of course, a few laugh-till-you-snort moments
If you’ve ever had a ride-or-die, lost one, or are still looking, this podcast will remind you why friendship is the most underrated love story of all.
Join Jennifer Hobbs and Jackie Schroeder on Slightly Unsupervised, a friendship podcast about the power of best friends and women mental health. Explore the complexities of female friendship, healing after toxic relationships, and the celebration of platonic soulmates through unfiltered conversations. This podcast celebrates bestie energy and the emotional support that binds women friendship, offering weekly episodes filled with laughter and real talk for anyone cherishing or searching for true connection.
🎧 New episodes weekly.
