Here is my truggle

Podcast Episodes, , , ,

Who can relate to Caroline and her portmanteaus? I’m sure we all can in this chaotic time. We’re here bringing our struggles and to your earbuds, and today we’re talking about the difficulties with adult friendships. Plus: books, tv (sort of?) and some rabbit trails that we neither planned for nor will be apologizing about.

It Sounded Like A Good Idea At The Time

What have I learned about myself? Nothing good.

Guess who’s back?? (If you immediately thought of Eminem, we won’t blame you.)

It’s been a long break and we’ve missed you! What a crazy few months it’s been. Some of us are thriving, and some of us…well not so much. We’ll let you listen in to see which is which, if you haven’t already guessed.

We’ve got Zoloft and Diet Dr. Pepper a-plenty and we’re ready to hit the ground running with season 2. We hope you’re ready for more good-turned-bad ideas!

You won’t believe the ending

Podcast Episodes, , , ,

We’re here to lighten the mood, friends. It’s been a rough 800 years this week, and we heard you when you said you wanted to think about anything other than a virus. So plug in your earbuds and take your mind off of it for a bit!

Here’s the article we talked about regarding Lady Gaga’s new boyfriend.

You’re doing enough

Podcast Episodes, , , , ,

Happy Wednesday! It’s mid-February, and we thought we’d just sit down and check in. How’s it going? January was tough! And sometimes you need to air it out with your girlfriends.

We’re touching on the NBA All-Star weekend, the Primaries, our bff’s over at Mattel (and their future on the big screen) and more. So tune in and relax and as always, let us know what you think.

If you want to get your panties in a bunch, start there.

Podcast Episodes, Uncategorized, , , , ,

If you didn’t watch the Oscar’s, don’t worry because we’re breaking it down today. Check out these performances by Janelle Monae and Idina Menzel that we have been obsessing over.

We also can’t get over this ad for postpartum care by Frida. Do better, ABC!

Note: we read further and we now understand that supposedly any feminine hygiene commercial wouldn’t be allowed to air during the Oscar’s. It does not change our overall opinion that the policy is crap.

Also: when we recorded this episode, Andrew Yang had not yet dropped out of the presidential race. Since then, he has dropped out and said he would consider a cabinet position with another candidate. Feel free to start coming to us for the hard-hitting news BEFORE it happens.

Caroline took this quiz to find out that she’s Bloomberg’s #1 fan, and Hannah is constantly pushing this site on everyone so we can all find out who we should be voting for. Get to quizzing!

One thing we love to do is revisit a topic that we feel like deserves more attention, and that’s what we’re doing this week. Last week we discussed the Super Bowl halftime show, and this week we’re asking ourselves what the difference is between that performance and the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show. As always, we have a lot of thoughts.

Rerun: That Sounds Very Christopher Columbus

Podcast Episodes, , , , ,

We’re on a winter break, so we’re bringing you a few of our older faves while we spend some time getting ready for the new year! We hope you’re enjoying your holidays and that you’ll tune in for new episodes in January 2020!
———
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?

Raising an Inclusive Child from Bright Horizons

The Heart of a Boy and Strong is the New Pretty by Kate Parker. Grab these for your kids’ bookshelves asap!

All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold

We now have a bra vaccine

Podcast Episodes, , , , , , , , , , ,

It’s breast cancer awareness month! We’ve got some great stuff in store this month, and we’re kicking it off by discussing some interesting things about boobs and bras today, so settle in for some girl talk. Here’s what else is on the agenda:

Is it cool to get revenge success?
Our favorite new movie (hint: we’re loving EVERYTHING this woman puts her hands on lately)
The enneagram
Do we really need bras?
And we’re announcing our October community read!

Sure, have morals if you want to

Podcast Episodes, , , , , ,

Did someone say freelancing? Well, Caroline did, when she decided she wanted to leave a full-time job to stay home with her newborn almost 5 years ago. The rest is history, and we’ll break it down in this episode because making money for ourselves is an option that many of us don’t know how to dive into.

But before that, body image positivity, artists and their rights, Jane Doe coming forward and wowing us with her continued bravery, and more!

We’re mostly fine now

Podcast Episodes, , , , , , , , ,

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’

Podcast Episodes, , , , , , , , , ,

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.
