In this episode we have an honest dialogue about grief and the collective grief we all are experiencing. 

We open up this week as we discuss the issue of grief and the challenges that come from trying to process “the natural reaction to loss”.We ask the questions like why do Americans struggle with identifying, expressing, and processing grief? How do we cope with grief that isn’t death related? And are there different types of grief? In this episode you’ll hear:

In this episode we mention our past episode where we mention similar topics that might be helpful we have them listed below. We have also linked the NPR episode about grief and the website with other types of griefs as well. We hope this will be helpful to you. 

Episode 43: Social Media Etiquette.

We truly needed to end the show with a Happy Place after this topic: *hint - beautiful walks and  small glimpses of hope give us all the feels.

In this episode we fangirl out over LeVar Burton.

Today we are doing something a bit unusual on the show but we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to show our admiration and appreciation to a champion in literacy. So, today we are talking all things LeVar Burton. From Trekkies to bookworms it’s hard to find a circle that Burton has not made an impact on (especial on us late Millennials). Burton is an author, a director, a podcaster, AND perhaps the new host Jeopardy??  Thanks to social media and a petition signed by thousands, LeVar Burton was able to live out his life-long dream of being the host of the famous game show perviously hosted by the late Alex Trebek. Even though the permanent hosting duties was originally “awarded” to Mike Richards (if interested in the details of that situation there’s a brief article on what happened linked down below) but has since been relieved as host and as an executive producer on the show. This leaves the podium up for “grabs” and these Unicorns are showing all the love and support for Burton. In this episode you’ll hear:

If you’re an adult and miss having LeVar Burton read to you, go check out his podcast entitled - LeVar Burton Reads.

We land this episode in our happy place hint* - bacteria and Honey Bears make an enjoyable pair.

In this episode we take a look at the hot topic Critical Race Theory and how it relates to schools.

This week our conversation focuses on the “hot topic” of critical race theory or CRT.  It’s back to school season and it’s not just face mask and vaccines parents are divided about this year.  Due to a recent surge of exposure in the media (particularly in the political realm) CRT has become less about what it ACTUALLY is and has taken on the form of a buzzword.  With some states looking to (or already have)  “ban” CRT from school curriculum we can’t help but wonder if people know exactly what they are “banning”. What is the the driving force behind the “War On Critical Race Theory”? In this episode you’ll hear us discuss:

We quickly end this episode in our Happy Place, hint** Somebody gets called out on their book cataloging and someone else just “skates” by.

In this episode we take a look at the latest Olympic games.

We’re back with a new episode after taking a small break for the month of  July and it’s good to be back! This week we are discussing the 2020 (because it really is the longest year ever) Summer Olympics. Whether you’re a sports fan or not the Olympics is an event that dominates the news for one reason or the other.  This year the topics of protest, women’s uniforms and mental health seem to be getting as much “air time” as the games themselves. So in this episode you’ll hear us discuss: 

We end our talk with our Happy Place, hint- it’s all about the quiet places and Olympic based beverages.
