    In this episode, Shanti recalls stealing hoagies from the corner store & childhood eating habits while Antoinette readies herself for an upcoming GYN visit.

Dr. Kelly, a licensed clinical psychologist and certified eating disorder specialist, discusses the prevalence and impact of eating disorders, particularly among Black and Brown women. She challenges the perception of eating disorders as solely affecting thin individuals and highlights the importance of understanding the spectrum of eating disorders. She emphasizes the damaging societal beauty standards and the role of trauma in shaping our relationship with food. Lastly, she challenges the notion of food addiction and highlights the importance of mindful eating and self-compassion. Join us.

  • Reprise Naked & Awake Ft. Hey Fran Hey & Jade of All Jades

    Shanti is away this week BUT Antoinette is joined by pod royalty Hey Fran Hey & Jade of All Jades. Together, we talk about leaning into our cougar energy, dating crunchy dudes, online dating, and the mess that was Republican presidential hopeful, Larry Elder. For our main topic, we deep dive into aging. How do we feel about aging? What were we taught about aging?

  • Reprise: What is Your Enough?

    In this episode Shanti gets real when it comes to whether or not women especially single mothers can really "have it all" while Antoinette grapples with the anxiety of going back to church. Together, they listen and respond to some really thoughtful and poignant voicemails, and then, inspired by a video on baboons, Antoinette takes us down a rabbit hole of hierarchy, social status, and inequity pondering if it's all just a part of our animalistic nature.
