The Tea on Recovering From Bad Breakups
Grab a glass of wine and get ready for some real talk -- it's time for some Straight Tea Therapy. We are talking all about breakups this episode, and more importantly, how to recover from them in a healthy way (yes we are looking at all those serial-daters trying to use others as rebounds...) In this episode Anju and Paige discuss their breakup horror stories and how (or if) they have recovered. Tune in to hear how our almost (not really)-fiances turned into our ex-baes!

The Tea on Serial Killers
Why just Netflix and chill when you can serial killer docu-series and chill? LBR...Is there anything more delightful than a night in watching how an unhinged sociopath claimed his next victim and then left you responsible for solving a 70-year-old cold case? If your answer was yes, you just haven't been truly enamored by the right true crime series yet (and we can assure you that Anju has suggestions). Join the STNC co-hosts as they share a timeline of American true crime and discuss the telltale signs of what makes a murderer.
