In the final episode of season 1, Ariel and Lauren talk about mental health; a topic that is not only hard to talk about but is not talked about enough.  They both talk about how going to therapy has been working for them, the stigmas around mental health, their past experiences, and providing their listeners with tips on how they can exercise their mental health.  As this is the end of season one, the founders of The Lioness Oasis Podcast are extremely grateful for how much this platform has grown in the past few months.

We decided to make this episode a little fun by letting our listeners get to know us a little bit better by talking about our turn-ons and turn-offs...while slightly tipsy haha. This was our first episode where nothing was scripted so we improvised the whole thing. You can kind of tell we had a drink or two because we slurred our words a bit a few times, but we still had fun making this and we hope you all enjoy it!
