Stephanie LeCates

Born in Cali, raised in Texas and Utah. Grew up in Taylorsville and West Jordan, Utah. Crazy enough to go to 3 different high schools and 2 different colleges. Proud to be a drill team alumni from Kearns, Copper Hills and Utah Tech University (previously Dixie State). Graduated from Utah Valley University with a Bachelor of Arts-Majoring in History and Minoring in Native American Studies. Converted to the LDS church (or Mormon church) in 2008 and left in 2014. Uprooted and moved solo to Dallas, Texas after graduation to be a southern girl. Started a career in Corporate HR working in healthcare, then manufacturing, then legal, education, retail, energy and now construction. Dated plenty, but finally married in 2018, had my daughter in 2019 followed by surprise twin boys in 2021. Working remote, raising tiny humans, learning to be a housewife, and slightly going insane while doing it. Slightly overly sensitive, lover of all people, driven by dopamine and diet coke, and love to get lost in nature and adventures.

Kaleigh is a mom of four plus two step kids, wife, podcast host, previous surrogate to twins, and professional multitasker who's figuring it out one day at a time - usually with coffee in hand and a sense of humor close by. She believes in honest conversations, laughing through the chaos, and saying the things most people are thinking but don't always say out loud.

When she's not recording episodes of The Unpolished Two, Kaleigh is juggling family life, work, and the never-ending mental load that comes with motherhood. She's passionate about connection - whether that's through meaningful conversations, shared laughter, or reminding other moms that they're not alone in the messy, beautiful middle of life.

Kaleigh brings warmth, vulnerability, and a real-life perspective to the mic. She's not here to pretend she has all the answers - she's here to talk about the unpolished moments, celebrate the small wins, and create a space where real life is welcome.

Leaked, Unpolished & Blaming Uranus

This week we’re officially blaming the chaos on the Uranus shift… because honestly, what else explains all of this?

We dive into the astrology behind what’s going on for Pisces and Leo right now (spoiler: sudden changes, emotional plot twists, and a little identity crisis energy), and how it’s hitting our real lives as we head into summer. Think: work-from-home survival, life transitions, and the art of radical delegation before we completely lose it.

Of course, we had to unpack the Summer Hou

Life is chaos, we’re barely keeping up, and reality TV is not helping. We’re catching up on where we’ve been, unpacking the The Bachelorette drama (and why it might not be airing like we thought), obsessing over The Traitors, and sharing the kind of unhinged life stories that can only happen to us.
