There’s too much to care about!



There’s so much going on in the world, and now more than ever we’re aware of all of it. Do you ever feel compassion fatigue? We do, and we need to talk about it.

Plus, the SAG awards, the Queen’s response to Harry and Meghan, and The NY Times Editorial Board’s presidential picks are up for discussion.

Stay tuned until the end to hear how Caroline learned the hard way that it’s a good idea to pre-screen tv shows for the kids.

Caroline came prepared with a host of topics to discuss at the outset of our episode today, and you know one of them is Harry and Meghan. And then we’re getting into arguments! With each other, with our significant others, with everyone! We’re talking about how we move past the little things, the big things, and all the things in between.

If you’ve been awake at any time in the last few years, then you know that burnout is a very real thing. But what does burnout specifically look like for women? We have some thoughts, and some of us may be realizing that it’s time to take further steps in getting a hold of our mental health. We hope you feel seen in this episode, and would love to know how you feel about burnout.

And of course, we’re hitting on some hot topics in the world of women!

Ever wonder what house plants have to do with staying present and enjoying the “now,” while also looking to the future? Well, we didn’t. But we got there anyway. Right after a talk about how women, and especially female creatives, are coming into their own and refusing to let their work be controlled without their consent.

If you’re anything like us, you scroll news reports reading only the headlines and spend copious amounts of time digesting the latest happenings of the entertainment world. And *maybe* you have the occasional conversation about how to raise moderately good human beings.

We’re talking today about how to raise inclusive kids, and we’re adding your advice to the convo! Some things we do and some things we need to start doing are all on the table, and we’re also touching on how we as adults can model behavior for these little people (both in good and bad ways.)

But first, the Emmy’s, do shows stand the test of time, and a little talk about poverty and homelessness to whet our appetites for a discussion about raising inclusive kids! Naturally.

Looking for links on some of the things we discussed today?

Guerrilla attacks of social hangouts



It’s almost the end of the year and we’re kicking off a conversation about the complicated emotions that can occur over the holidays, and as always, we start at one place and end somewhere that we never saw coming. Hang with us on this one folks.

We’re taking a break for the next few weeks to regroup and spend time with our families over the holidays, but we’ll be dropping a few of our favorite past episodes for those of you who plan to tune in! This is your time to catch up if you’ve been behind and, as always, give us your input.

An altar to diet culture



We’re kicking off today’s episode by talking about some celebrities making hard calls and refusing to keep silent, and we’re continuously inspired by the example of women who do the hard but necessary work all the time, both in the spotlight and out of it.

We’re also talking about diet culture and the way it affects our holiday celebrations. As always, we love to start conversations. Does any of this hit home with you?

I don’t have any sort of high horse here



Black Friday! Can you believe it’s around the corner? It seems like it rushed up on us, and now that it’s here we’re digging into the concept, the ethics, the shopping, and the struggle.
