That's a wrap for Season 1!

Thank you to everyone for the amazing love and support you all blessed us with this last year. Stay tuned for Season 2. We'll be back in August.

You never know how tough a woman is until she talks about her vagina ripping down to her b hole. We had NO IDEA what to expect with these labor stories and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Katie and Allison walked us through the trauma of labor and the aftermath of what their bodies still go through today because of it. The mamas in our society deserve a cookie, medal, vacation, and a drink just for being brave enough to tackle all that motherhood is. 

Big THANKS to theses beautiful ladies for opening up to us about their personal labor stories, postpartum and healing process.


Anyone that may be struggling or feel like they just don’t belong, know that you are not alone and YOU ARE HERE ON PURPOSE! All of our stories look different. We just need to meet each other with love and kindness and do our part in dissolving the stigmas and prejudices that surround us.


Sending you all the LOVE you need and then some to spread around!


So much GRATITUDE to the following folks that made this all possible:

Guest: Katie and Allison
Hosts: Melissa Whitley and Staci Ruiz

Emma Schwartz is authentic, funny, and unfiltered. She talks to us about surviving a cult and part of her family's journey throughout. Her story is not an uncommon one, however it is one many are too afraid or overwhelmed with shame to talk about. We are beyond grateful for the time and stories shared during this unforgettable conversation. Thank you Emma!!

Ruth and Mary generously share their story... Two sisters who met in their 50's and 60's. We hear about their individual upbringings, as well as their humble beginnings. They CHOOSE joy!

Emma is a beautiful, amazing and smart woman brave enough to share her journey as a sex worker. 

This is it folks... the one we've been waiting for since DAY 1!

When we opened our hearts to this opportunity, our whole goal is/was/will forever be to end stigmas. We strive to talk about the shit we want to educate ourselves on with the hope you enjoy it and/or get something out of it.

We have so much gratitude for Emma allowing us to create space for her. Little did we know we'd fall in love with her! This is already a fave episode just from her willingness to be raw.

We hope you love this as much as we do, cause we had a ball (no pun intended).

Heather Vasquez is back y'all!! 

Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is scary. Scary until you find the person that allows you to be in whatever space you’re in without judgment or conditions. As a Spiritual Consultant, Heather Vasquez has been that person to many people. An inspiration, creator and nurturer of the person we are meant to be.

Cousandra is open and honest about the shame and lifelong work that accompanies domestic abuse and it spreads far beyond just the victim.

Veronica has defied all odds and social expectations as she finishes up her PhD program and continues her research at a top ranking University. 

Listen in as we discuss her work, specifically on Latinas and the carceral system. 

THANK YOU so much @v.l.g.209 for sharing time, space and your intelligence with us. We thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and are super excited to partner with you in the very near future!!!

Together we will break down the current systems and inequities that fail too many and work on building up community care instead.
