Chill The F*** Out
Episode Summary
In this episode of Sister-in-Law, Bri and Cambria talk about something everyone seems to be struggling with lately: stress and sleep. After a stretch of nonstop travel and busy schedules, the two unpack the routines, supplements, and habits that actually help them wind down and get better rest.
They share practical tips for building a realistic nighttime routine, managing anxiety before bed, and calming your nervous system when your brain won’t shut off.
Later in the conversation, they shift gears and reflect on the advice they wish they could give their younger selves. From confidence and therapy to friendships, finances, and career identity, Bri and Cambria share honest reflections on what mattered most at 25 and what they would do differently at 30.
It’s part sleep toolkit, part life reflection, and a reminder that sometimes the best advice is simply to chill the f*** out.
