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.

We put women in a category



Today we’re sitting down to talk about Representative Katie Hill resigning after her personal photos were released without her permission, and the standards that women are held to as opposed to men. What do you think?

We talked about a podcast we’re loving lately called American Girls, and this episode in particular was so insightful and gave us a lot to think about. We hope you’ll check it out too.

I’m judging you for that



Hey-ohhh we’ve got books to talk about! We took a break last week and focused on tv but this week we’re back with some thoughts on what we’re reading. Here’s a list of the books we talked about:

Savage News, by Jessica Yellin
Unbreakables, by Lisa Barr
The Incendiaries, by R.O. Kwon
Ordinary People, by Diana Evans

Also, if you’re interested, grab a copy of The Virtue of Sin by Shannon Schuren and read along with the gang at A Good Idea pod!

Here’s another thing we think is pretty great: Sex Ed is changing! Check out more over at NBC News.


We’re mostly fine now



Today is the venting session you didn’t ask for, because we struggle with things and think it’s a good idea to discuss them. Sometimes in these discussions a solution is reached, and sometimes you don’t find an answer but you feel seen. We hope you feel seen a little bit or feel ready to open up to someone about what you’re going through, whether it’s big or small.

But before that, we talked about some pretty important topics. First of all, the 9th Congressional district of North Carolina has a special election coming up on September 10th! If you live in that district, check out where you can vote and make plans to be there. If you’re unsure of who to vote for, hit up our fave site I Side With to figure out what the candidates stand for and who you want to represent our district in Congress.

We also talked about Popular Information, “a newsletter about politics for people who give a damn.” As a subscriber to this newsletter, I (Hannah) totally recommend it.

“A common trait among mass killers: hatred of women” is the article that we really hope you read, and it brings light to the data that we have from our plethora of history with mass killers in the United States.

I would call my body type ‘seal’ or ‘surfboard’



What’s your idea of aging into confidence? Do you feel great in pool and beachwear? We’re digging into this as it’s currently dead in the middle of summer and we’re feeling the body image messaging coming in from all sides!

What was that short story that Hannah mentioned?
You have to check it out! It’s called Cat Person, by Kristen Roupenian.

Bloom where you’re planted



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.

DM me for my list



The FIFA Women’s World Cup, Taylor Swift’s new video, and Big Little Lies season 2. We’ve got some big talking points for this week’s episode, and we’ve also got some funky sound thanks to a new recording set up. Bear with us as we work out the kinks!

We want to know about authenticity on social media. How do you achieve it? Is it necessary? And where did this trend of keeping it real come from, anyway?
