Hey friend!
We’re Erica and Kelsey, two good friends (and former next door neighbors), who love to talk about everything and laugh along the way.
From everyday things like bathing habits (which turn out to be surprisingly hilarious), to home organization, and parenting, and from book recommendations and honest marriage advice to going all in for fall during our annual Fall Extravaganza, our show will make you feel like you’re hanging out with your girlfriends in the best way.

Grab a drink, make yourself comfortable, and join the conversation. We’re so happy that you’re here!

Meet your hosts

And so in 2013 The Girl Next Door Podcast was born! Our podcast origin texts say a lot about our personalities and why our friendship and partnership work so well. Kelsey has a plan and Erica brings the enthusiasm. Erica can make great decisions in a snap while Kelsey loves to dive into the details. We bring our different perspectives to every conversation and haven’t run out of things to talk — and laugh — about yet.
