Best Friends, Business Partners & Breaking the “Nice Girl” Code

This week on The Blunt and the Beautiful, we’re joined by the
women who built us — in more ways than one!


Tully Humphrey and Sarah Pasini. Founders of Tully Lou, Curious
Conversations, Co- Founders of Stitch Up Studios, and about 7
other domain names they may or may not use, these two are more
than just businesswomen — they’re chosen family.





In this episode, we deep-dive into everything from co-founder
therapy sessions to influencer fakery, grief and caregiving, and
the terrifying return of SkinnyTok.


We talk friendship, finances, eating disorders, family legacies,
and the impossible task of showing up online when you’d rather
crawl under a doona.


We also get brutally honest about what it’s like to co-run
businesses, reparent yourself through motherhood, and why you’re
better off being kind than nice. Spoiler: Nice is for people who
can’t set boundaries.


Whether you're healing your inner child, managing your mental
health, or just trying to avoid polyester during perimenopause —
this one’s for you.
