Traumaversaries– what are they, how do they show up, why do they impact our daily lives years later? We’re deep-diving into the ways memorable events are stored in our bodies and what we can do about it. This episode also gets into the Golden Globe monologue debacle and a brand new segment about what’s keeping us up at night. COMING SOON is our Consensual Non-Consensual Advice segment so be sure to send your questions into our DMs.  Stay fresh, betches!

“To thine own self be true” is from Hamlet. But in our Christian backgrounds, we were taught it was romantic and ideal for a male partner to know us better than we know ourselves. Ditto pastors and any external authority. In today’s episode, we deconstruct the dark side of that dependence and its complementarian roots. Also up, the Golden Bachelor Royal Wedding and a super-disturbing cult leader video with AntiChrist and End Times vibes all over it. We wrap it up with our very own 23/24 In and Out list!  Stay fresh, betches!

Resolutions and goals look different on the backside of fundamentalism! In this chat, we compare and contrast what goal setting looks like then versus now, what our words for the year are and why, and how we’re going to reclaim accountability (fun) with each other.  Also on tap is a Golden Bachelor royal wedding update and a relationship segment on arrested development you won’t want to miss.  Stay fresh, betches!

It’s a growing trend now-a-days to take a strong stance on a given topic or issue in order to show where you stand, make sure you’re on the right side of the issue, and letting people know you’re a safe person. Is silence actually complicity? Is speaking out performative? Is the requirement to speak out and pick a side just another form of fundamentalism? We then get into Neandrathal DNA and holiday traditions and end with a conversation on getting back into the dating game when you have children.  Remember to submit us your questions for our December Non-Consensual, Consensual Advice episode!

We’ve come a long way in healthcare for women but what does that really mean? And what about “man colds” and the differences in emotional labor for men and women? Should we take a lesson from them or persevere?

What do you when your church says abuse and mistreatment is okay? And that it’s not only ok, but it’s God’s design. And what if you’ve identified abuse in your relationship but now notice you’ve had the same experience in your church and maybe even what you’ve been taught about God?  Is any faith community safe for women? Today’s episode explores church-sanctioned domestic abuse and intimate partner violence. We deconstruct that old saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater and find the shades of gray.

How many of you have a complicated relationship with your period–how you think about it, how you were taught about it, and the symptoms that have gone along with it? Join Tia and Laura for a conversation about their first periods, the “talk”, how they navigated PMS and what their cycles are like now as they are in perimenopause! After that we’ll be getting a brief update of the Golden Bachelor and then we’ll take a deep dive into Covenant Eyes–a porn accountability program that is being talked about after our new speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, talked about how his 17 year old son is his accountability partner.
