Melissa and Amanda have hit a goal with the podcast which feels like tiny success might be afoot. While exciting, it makes Melissa kinda uncomfortable, which brings the friendly strangers to a deep discussion about Amanda’s (now medicated) anxiety. Amanda describes seeking help for an unhealthy, obsessive routine she created to keep her kids healthy. Note: Melissa (currently not medicated) was jotting down the amazing routine, naturally, because with these two it’s a match, but kinda not. As mothers, they also discuss managing children who feel anxious or have been bullied. Visit our fancy new website!

Imperfect Stranger Things

Amanda, a graphic designer from OH, invited Melissa, a NY stay-at-home mom on her podcast. Melissa, who has been hunkered down for decades after a cool but soul-crushing brush with fame on MTV’s Real World New Orleans, didn’t really do this sort of thing but Amanda seemed nice. They recorded twice due to technical difficulties, but ended up chatting for hours. Who the fuck talks on the actual phone? They do! Two strangers getting to know each other the old-fashioned way. Get to know Melissa all over again as she gets to know Amanda for the first time. Bonus! One’s white and one ain’t.
