How do you understand the "good girl vs. bad girl" dichotomy?  Was becoming "bad" a conscious effort for you or did it just happen?  What influenced you to change your understanding of who you needed to be based on others' expectations?  You know we love breaking down false dichotomies over here, and this week we wanted to discuss our process of rejecting the many ways people try to control women and femmes' self-expression.  What's your journey? Tell us on social media:  https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly.

Nessa's current definition of being bad mostly involves a nice uninterrupted day in the house. Yup, watch out, we have a badass over here! Cass discusses being a bad girl in the workplace. Dassa explores her various cycles of getting deeper into the bad girl life. Music by Sarel (@sarel_bey) and Jeff Pierre (@jeffpierremusic). 

What money issues have you experienced in a relationship? What are your thoughts on joint accounts? How does money affect the dynamics of your relationships? Do you address money at the beginning of a romantic relationship? We're jumping right into the controversy this week with a much needed conversation about money in relationships, whether they are with friends, family, or intimate partners. Got some dramatic stories? Come spill the tea on social media: https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly .

You can forget about creating a joint account with Cass. Dassa ain't with restaurant check shenanigans. And Nessa has some caveats about supporting friends' businesses. Music by Sarel (@sarel_bey) and Jeff Pierre (@jeffpierremusic).

  Are selfishness and selflessness even a dichotomy? Do they actually stand as opposites? How connected are those concepts to the religious concepts that permeated our childhood? How do the concepts of self-care, self-love, and boundaries relate to the virtuous view of selflessness and the "sinful" view of selfishness? How do those concepts relate to capitalism in religious and secular sectors? This week, we turn upside-down yet two other concepts that many of us take for granted. Have you had to develop a new relationship to selfishness and /or selflessness? Share your stories with us on social media: https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly . 

Nessa questions the wholesomeness of posting evidence of yourself performing a good deed on social media.  Dassa loves to be selfish with her energy. Cass won't share her Netflix password, nor the contact of her cute friends. Music by Sarel (@sarel_bey) and Jeff Pierre (@jeffpierremusic).

How do you view the connection between homophobia and misogyny? Do you think sometimes parents use their kids or motherly/fatherly connection to their children to rationalize their homophobia and transphobia? Do you entertain the thought that your children (or future) might not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth or have a different sexual orientation than you expect? How are you doing your part to uphold da gay agenda? Come share with us on social media: https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly !

Cass draws on the absurdity of the coming out process. Nessa is out here triggering homophobic women in her Mommy and Me classes. And Dassa gets at the core fear within homophobia: fear of fun! Music by Sarel (@sarel_bey) and Jeff Pierre (@jeffpierremusic). 

Have you ever been catfished? What is your Tinder process?  What's your preferred app? What are your favorite things about online dating? What makes you swipe right? It's cuffing season, so we thought we'd share our horror stories with y'all! Are you outchea swiping? Come share your secrets with us on social media: https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly. 

Cass found love in a hopeless place, once. Nessa realized she gonna have to stick beside her man because it's cold out here in these single streets. Dassa refuses to "leave it at your door" (that will make sense when you listen). As always, music by Sarel (@sarel_bey) and Jeff Pierre (@jeffpierremusic). 

What is hope? What do you have hope for? Should we have hope? Why? What are the downsides of having hope? How do you recharge your hope reserves? This episode might be a little darker than we anticipated, but we're nothing if not real, and that does not change. What is your relationship to hope? Let us know on social media: https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly. 

Cass doesn't need hope to be positive. Nessa's trying to find ways to not ruin the next generation's hope. Dass would have hope for the world, but since that requires faith in people, she's not sure it's a sound investment. As always, music by Jeff Pierre (@jeffpierremusic) and Sarel (@sarel_youniverse). 

What is your relationship to your anger? How does the way we're taught to deal with our emotions affect our relationship with anger? Why do we avoid being angry? How has anger been useful to you? What do we consider valid anger? We're back from hiatus to discuss Nessa's favorite topic, emotions. This week is all about anger and the specific socialized relationship women have with it. Especially Black women. Got some angry stories? Share them with us on social media: https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly. 

Nessa laughs when she's angry. Dassa bathes in the adrenaline rush that comes with her anger. And Cass, well Cass has a particular angry reaction that well... we'll just let you find out for yourself. Music by Sarel (@sarel_youniverse) and Jeff Pierre (@jeffpierremusic). 

Are "alpha males" a thing? Who is the audience for all the alpha male/high-value men content? What is dangerous about the popularization of all this alpha male content? What are the alternatives for men who want to expand their view of themselves and do not want to define themselves based on a blueprint? (or a "whiteprint" if we're really talking about it). This week, this Tik Tok video reached Twitter and people haven't let their foot up off this man's neck, y'all. The jokes were flying off, the deep dives into his life, larger think pieces, all that. But as always, we wanted to approach the topic from a larger perspective. In this episode, we look at the bigger forces at play in the amplification of other people who post similar content as him and how the audience receives them. What's your alpha male story? Come tell us on social media: https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly. 

Nessa's brain short circuited when learning how widespread this type of content is. Dassa wants better for straight women but Cass thinks since they made the choice to be straight, they can deal with it. Music by Sarel (IG: @sarel_youniverse) and Jeff Pierre (IG: @jeffpierremusic). 

What is your love language? Do you think there's a difference between the love language you like to express to other people and the love language in which you like to be loved? Do you judge any love languages? Do you prefer to partner with people who share your top love languages? We're back with 'another one!' This time we approach the famous concept of love languages. Grab your results from a good online test and let's continue the discussion on social media: https://linktr.ee/99percentanomaly. 

Can you guess what Nessa's is? We already know you know it's not words of affirmation.  Cass will literally cuddle you to death, or at least the death of your arm. Dassa finally comes to the conclusion that she needs to stop messing with brokies like Cardi said, you know why. (I know that's right!). Music by Sarel (IG: @sarel_youniverse) and Jeff Pierre (IG: @jeffpierremusic).
