Femmes Chuchotantes

In this week’s episode we reveal which season we feel we are currently going through (mentally, emotionally, psychologically, existentially). Tag along on this journey of endless metaphors and adventurous exploration through the works of Yves Klein (blukh) and Søren Kierkegaard. Enjoy!

The plants episode that isn’t a plants episode. In the here and now, we explore the different cathartic journeys that help with the healing that comes after eons of chaos. Enjoy!

Hey hi hello! In this week’s episode, our first guest of the season, Vicky, taps in and talks to us about the cool and thought-provoking language usage and code-switching present in our (and other regional) podcast(s).

Enjoy because we sure as hell did!

Hey hi hello, in this week’s episode we discuss repetitions repeating themselves in repetitive motions, and how, if done frequently enough, can become routines and rituals. Enjoy!

In this third and final episode of the 'Home' series, we throw it back HARD, discussing music that reminds us of home. Warning: nasty vocals coming your way.

In this episode we talk about food that reminds us of home! Food we love, food we hate, places with food we love AND hate. Enjoy, and sahtein!

In this limited series, we reflect on different things that remind us of home. We talk about sounds and smells, places, events, food, and music! Pls, enjoy.

In this season finale, we take a deep dive into the ways in which we neglect ourselves, whether through methods we acquired growing up or somewhere along the way as a reaction to something else. Moreover, we touch on how this (self) neglect is, in a way, inadvertently related to self-sabotage and punishment. 

In this week’s episode we explore storage, its stories, and how we hold on to them (and why!). With customized wooden spoons and lists of baby names, we reflect on what we choose to keep and why they’re kept. Enjoy!

Part 2? Yes, part 2! (*whispers* It's what comes after part 1!) This week we continue reminiscing over movies from our childhood and teenage years. Tag along as we go over the rest of our favorites.  Enjoy!
