024 - Sweata Weatha

🍂 “Sweata Weatha”

In this episode of the Midnight Cheesecake Podcast, Ruha and Bekah hang out and dive headfirst into fall—sweaters, soups, Halloween, and all the cozy chaos that comes with it. We kick things off with some weather drama (spoiler: it’s not sweater weather for either of us), and then roll into a “fall this or that” game that gets us choosing between scarecrows and ghost stories, chili cook-offs and pie bakes, and even acorns vs. pinecones. We're vibing all things cozy.

Ruha opens up about starting therapy through BetterHelp, and we talk through what it’s like to finally take that step (she has an upcoming family wedding and this seemed like good prep work). It’s honest, funny, and super relatable—especially when Bekah jumps in with her own experiences and we all nod along like, “Yep, same.” It’s one of those moments where we feel seen and reminded that we’re not alone in the mess.

We swap stories about Halloween traditions—Ruha’s trick-or-treating memories in a red flyer wagon, Bekah’s legendary graveyard cake and soup swap parties—and we laugh about decorating too early, turning the AC down just to pretend it’s chilly, and how our moms are already putting up Christmas stuff. It’s chaos, but it’s our kind of chaos.

By the end, we’re all in the fall feels. We’re talking about how even a bowl of soup from a friend can carry a memory, how decorating with the kids becomes a whole event, and how we’re leaning into the joy of being proudly basic. Starbies, Targis, Chickie Sando—don’t judge us, join us.

Ruha and Bekah wrap things up with their “Spots Playground” picks (hello, avocado watch and high-speed hair dryer), and we all get a little nostalgic about gummy bears and Reese’s pumpkins. It’s warm, it’s weird, and it’s exactly what we needed.
