Miranda and Shivani circle back around to their favorite topic: relationships. Platonic relationships, romantic relationships, familial relationships, business relationships, and more. How have their relationships changed recently? What have they noticed about themselves? How do they see themselves in the future?

After a recent discussion with her roommate, Miranda has an interesting topic. Let’s talk about pedophilia. What makes it wrong? Is it ever more acceptable and what would be required to be so?

In this week’s episode, Miranda and Shivani invite the hosts of the PowerFall Project podcast - Nick and Adam - to discuss the legalization of weed. How much is too much regulation? Is regulation needed at all? Should this be a State matter or a Federal matter? What parallels can we draw to prostitution, the music industry, breastfeeding in public, and bakeries?

Shivani decides to talk about attraction. What do people find attractive and is it the same across the board? Also, we discovered that this changes during a menstrual cycle which is honestly mind-blowing. Could it have to do with evolution?? Unfortunately, this episode is not a guide for finding a mate, as Shivani and Miranda are clueless in that regard. Email us with any suggestions!

Shivani feels judged after she explains that she identifies as an optimist in a virtual classroom full of pessimists. This sparks a conversation about Realism: what does this mean, how does this function in our world, can you be an optimist and a realist? Labels are both helpful and confusing...

In today’s episode, Miranda asks Shivani about what it’s like to be a vegetarian. Why she chose it and all that fun stuff… Then we start asking the hard questions. Do animals have souls? Do animals have a right to not be murdered by humans? And how does religion play a part? Are animals made for us or are they just another part of Earth?

In today’s episode, Miranda complains about a recent comment on a recent LinkedIn post. Spoiler alert: someone was calling out racism and another said their race has it worse. That got us thinking about which movements have more power, if colored Americans can be racist, and are you becoming more and more “fake” as you become Westernized???

Growing up, we’ve noticed how much society conditions women to function specifically within a male-dominated home, workplace, and environment. In this episode, we invite Anna to discuss all the ways we and other women may have internalized sexism. Be it through family dynamics, religion, sexuality -- it’s clear that we still have much work to do.

***Trigger Warning

In this episode, Miranda and Shivani invite Rebekah to share her story on domestic violence. Although we featured this during women's history month, this issue affects everyone ( through horizontal and vertical relationships as well) In sharing Rebekah’s story, we hope to help those affected directly or indirectly as well as open up avenues of discussion in order to promote healing and strength.
