BLK FLNGS Podcast

This episode, Ilia and Monica discuss how therapy is portrayed in television, from dramas like A Million Little Things and This is Us  to reality shows like The Real Housewives. They continue to unravel layers of themselves by comparing their own therapy sessions to those on TV, and also express their mutual adoration for Sterling K. Brown.

Welcome back! This episode, Ilia and Monica discuss taking the time to reflect on their accomplishments rather than always pushing forward, and rekindle the conversation on setting boundaries when it comes to caring for family and friends. As well, they share a tip from Mel Robbins on why it is necessary to "High 5" yourself to help release positive hormones during a very sensory-deprived pandemic. The girls also share a moment when they reflect on the people they've lost in the past couple years, and put action to their words when it comes to showing support and strength for one another.

This week, we catch up on our latest therapy session(s), but mainly talk about the new furry additions to our households! We get very candid about puppy parenting woes (also known as puppy blues), the joy our pups bring into our lives, and things we have learned about ourselves through this journey of being first-time dog owners.   

Hopefully, our dog talk doesn't tire you out as much they do us. 

TRIGGER WARNING: We do discuss briefly domestic violence after  FKA Twigs opened up about the abuse she experienced from Shia LaBeouf. Domestic violence is never okay and you are not alone, here are some hotlines you can contact if you or someone you know needs help:

The National Domestic Violence Hotline:
