Some conversations stay with you long after the microphones are turned off, and this is one of them. In Part 2, our dear friend Erik continues sharing his journey of faith, coming out, and learning to fully embrace who God created him to be.

This episode reminded us that living authentically isn’t always easy, but there is so much freedom and beauty in finally choosing to be yourself. We laughed, got emotional, and left this conversation with even more love and appreciation for Erik’s courage and honesty.

We’re so grateful he trusted us with his story, and we know his words will touch so many hearts. 💜

Our good friend Erik sits down with us for a powerful, real, and unexpectedly tender conversation about living an authentic life. From his coming out journey to navigating faith and Christianity along the way, Erik opens up about the tension, the growth, and the grace it takes to become fully yourself.

This one is about truth without performance, faith without fear, and learning how to hold all the parts of your story at the same time. We laughed, we got honest, and we probably said a few things that’ll sit with you long after it’s over.

If you’ve ever been in the middle of becoming who you are—this episode is for you. 🤍🎧

This week, we’re diving into the wildly unpredictable world of animal rescue with Stephanie! Pun definitely intended🤭

From rescuing animals that most people wouldn’t know how to approach to caring for giant breeds with even bigger hearts, Stephanie shares what it really takes to give these animals a second chance. We talk about the challenges, the unforgettable success stories, and the kind of day that might include ordering baby squirrel milk online, taking a turkey on rides to Starbucks, and contemplating teaching bats how to fly by jumping out of trees.

Tune in for an inspiring, yet chaotic🤣conversation that’s full of heart, a little mayhem, and a whole lot of love for the animals who need it most🩷

You think today’s world is weird? Just wait until you hear the laws that somehow survived the test of time. 😂

In this episode, we’re diving into the most ridiculous, head-scratching, “there’s NO way that’s real” laws that are technically still hanging around. From bizarre rules you could accidentally break to laws that make you wonder what happened to inspire them in the first place…we’re laughing our way through all of it.

Grab your favorite drink, prepare to question humanity, and come find out if you’ve unknowingly been living life as an outlaw. 🤠⚖️

We spend years counting down to milestones—driving, graduation, moving out, becoming independent. Then one day, they’re technically grown, making their own decisions, and somehow the worrying doesn’t stop. It just changes. In this episode, we’re talking about the unique challenges of parenting teens and adult children: learning when to step in, when to stay quiet, and how to support them without trying to control the outcome. If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake wondering if your “grown” child made it home, ate a vegetable, or is making good life choices, this conversation is for you. Because no matter how old our Cougar Cubs get, they’ll always be our babies—and apparently, that concern doesn’t come with an expiration date. 🤭⌚️

Order in the court! This week at Cougar College, we’re putting life under oath with attorney Shawn Copeland.

From LLCs to civil disputes, Shawn breaks down what you need to know to protect yourself, details the most insane case he’s ever handled and how you should not try to get out of the jury summons.

No confusing legal jargon. No boring lectures. Just real talk, practical advice, and a few laughs along the way.

Because being a cougar means being confident, informed, and knowing when it’s time to call a lawyer.

Court is officially in session. 🎙️
