Today, Mya and K tackle an intricate conversation around cob webbing, a dating trend that involves removing connections with past romantic partners, or old flames, to move on and start fresh. The idea is that unresolved feelings from past relationships can be like cobwebs that hold you back from dating. Mya and K have different thoughts at first as they navigate what cobwebbing looks and feels like, but in the end, they realize they have more in common than they thought. Listen to their stories of past lovers and ways to declutter your mental, physical, and virtual spaces from old cob webs (or exes)!

They talk about it all today from relationships with food to acne and weight gain to stars on ozempic.

Mya and K had A LOT to talk about this week, with everything happening in the media, from the 4B Movement sparking interest in American women, online haters, and discriminatory protestors to the Zach Bryan viral diss track. These conversations led to an educational discussion around financial abuse including what it is and looks like, examples, and ways to protect yourself and others. The girls end with another message of hope and ways to feel safe and empowered during what can feel like really scary times <3

Mya and K come to you today with messages of hope as they promise to never stop fighting. They will never stop using their voices and power to support survivors and advocate for policies that protect their safety and allow them to seek justice. It’s easy to feel hopeless when an abuser now holds so much power, but they will never let that cloud their hope for a better future. Mya and K will be the heartbeat of progress and the beacon of hope for you and they encourage you to join them. After the much-needed message, the girls get silly again and talk about Mya’s psychic reading she got and they debate the mindset of an abuser. Do they know what they’re doing? Is there room for change? We’ll let you decide.

Today MK describes the neurological impact of trauma to take away stigmas around survivors being called or feeling CRAZY. Survivors of trauma often find themselves “stuck” in states of hyperarousal, feeling on edge and high alert even in situations that may seem comfortable to others, dealing with constant stomach or headaches even when they’re doing everything they can to feel healthy, and being triggered by elements in their daily life as they just try to make it by. These experiences are also often minimized, invalidated, and even simply misunderstood by those who have not experienced trauma or been educated on these topics. Without trauma-informed practices, it can be difficult for survivors to seek the help and sometimes justice that they deserve. Even survivors themselves might not understand the impact that trauma can have on their bodies, including their nervous system and brain simply because there is a lack of education around these topics!!!

Mya and K are sex busters today! They often discuss all the things NOT discussed in Sex Ed, and today is no different as they illuminate some of the most common sexual misconceptions. They might sound a little bit delulu in this episode because it’s 10 PM Thursday, and these busy girls are tired, but they never want to leave you episode-less on a Friday! <3

This week's episode was very out-of-the-norm for Mya and K as they discussed celebrity gossip and conspiracy theories, but don’t worry—it was all on theme. From Diddy’s sex trafficking and abuse allegations to Brianna Chicken Fry’s blatant victim blaming, they covered everything happening in the media related to sexual assault and abuse right now. As always, MK advises you to do your own research and form your own opinions! <3

This week, Mya talks about one thing she’s never talked about before - getting a pap-smear as a survivor. She shares insights on why women get these exams, how important they are, the process of getting them, and ways to feel empowered and in control before, during and after! It’s common for survivors to feel triggered and alone in this process, largely because it’s not talked about enough and unfortunately not every physician is trauma-informed. So MK is not going to leave you in the dark, but instead she gives tips that will help you feel empowered before your next visit to the OBGYN! <3
