Many people argue that kids these days aren’t as strong because they all receive “participation” ribbons or trophies.  They say that if there isn’t a clear “winner”, kids will grow up weak and will be less inclined to work hard. In this episode we share some recent tough parenting moments that illuminate some of the problems with this argument.

Recently, Josie found herself at the non-off leash park near her house. When she kindly asked a man to leash his dog because her son was terrified, he adamantly refused. In a fit of anger, he hurled the label "Karen" at Josie.

In this episode, we delve into the origins, evolution, and lessons behind the term "Karen." Have you ever pondered where this name and its meaning originated? Have you ever wondered if you've accidentally channeled your inner Karen? And hey, what's a person named Karen to do in all this?

Join us as we unpack these questions and more with Refinery 29’s Kathleen Newman-Bremang. Together, we explore the complexities surrounding this term and the insights it offers into societal attitudes and behaviors.

Have you ever found yourself getting turned on by something strange? Things like gym equipment or giant nostrils? How about gardening noises or the arm hair on a stranger?  In this episode we share some of the beautifully bizarre things that people have found unexpectedly erotic..and our other halves even share theirs!

Have you ever asked “the universe” for guidance? Cynthia did, and you’ll never guess what happened next. This episode is a journey filled with laughter, tears, and some revelations we've never dared to share including conversations with trees, ghostly encounters, and our thoughts on the mysteries of life after death.

In light of International Women’s Day, we  wanted to celebrate, not only each other, but women we admire. So we started by writing letters of love to one another because, let’s be honest, even though you might have all kinds of feels for your good girlfriends: how often do you tell them? We also sit down with activist and curve model model, Lauren Chan about how she deals with online haters, how her body image has changed since coming out, and she gives advice for all of us on how to love our bodies better.

Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions around body, so just protect yourself if that’s a topic that sensitive for you

The very first book that Cynthia picked up when she went on stress leave was a NYT bestseller called “Burnout: The Secret To Unlocking The Stress Cycle”. 

In this episode we are joined by one of the books authors, Amelia Nagoski to talk about the book and her burnout journey. She also gives tips on everything from the signs of burnout, why human “givers” are more likely to experience it, and what we can all do to start to heal from it. 

The audio version of Burnout is now out and available HERE

Also, Amelia’s sister and co-author Emily wasn’t able to make it to our interview because she is out promoting a brand new book out about sex called: Come Together: the science (and art!) of creating lasting sexual connections. For more info:

Do you low-key hate Valentine’s day? Do all of the garish red decorations and chocolate dipped hearts have you asking yourself if this “holiday” is more about selling shit than helping lovers truly connect? In the spirit of actually making your relationship better, we have a list of questions that research suggests you should ask yourself and/or your long term partner every year as part of your maintenance. Questions like: do you still hold hands? Is the sex fun or a chore? Are you afraid of having an empty nest, and so much more. We hope you will do this with your other half, and let us know how it goes!!
