Ep 3: Crushes on Brushes| What Paint Brush to Choose for Your Next Project
Welcome to Episode 3!
SideQuest 01: From Science Labs to Power Tools (And Why It Matters)
Bonus Episode 1
Tune in for a special bonus episode of "How to Handyma'am"! Before launching our first official episode, we recorded several sessions. These initial recordings were full of fun and productive chaos, helping us nail down our format and find our rhythm. While we aren't releasing those full episodes, they contain some fantastic moments! This bonus content is pulled from our very first recording session and offers insight into a part of our "why" and our overall vision.

Ep 2: Let's Talk About SHEEN, Baby! Painting 101
In our second-ever episode, The Handyma’ams surprise, delight, and sometimes scare us with their tales from the field. Will they self-sabotage with food poisoning at a questionable lunch location or buck up with “stick-to-it-ive-ness” and keep going despite their setbacks?
Join us this week and find out why Arly nearly walked off the job, Samantha was left sobbing over a piece of trim, and Emily entered in the 7th circle of hell while removing wallpaper.
The Handiest of ma’ams also debate the merit and mediocrity of paint sheens in this week’s game “Rate-a-data-doo” with Arly. Find out the paint sheen rated “11,000” out of 5 stars by Emily and which ones Samantha gives a sideways thumb… the equivalent of 3 out of 5 stars, in case you’re curious.
They also clarify which paints are made out of water, which ones are definitely not made out of spaghetti but could be, and which ones they recommend using in your home.
Whether this is your second week joining us or your first, thank you for being here as The Handyma’ams use their hard-earned and field-tested expertise to entertain, educate, and help you to feel less alone while you’re “doing it yourself”.
