Happy almost Valentine's Day! To celebrate, we are serving up our hot takes on one pickup artist's criteria for being a "high-value woman." The article has a lot of advice on how to be "high-value," and we have a lot of thoughts on why this advice is bunk. Listen now for our point-by-point takedown of this pickup artist B.S.

TW: Death, suicide.

In this episode, Alexis interviews her best friend, Megan, who experienced the loss of her friend and ex-boyfriend by suicide last summer. Many of the resources out there are created by people with more space from the death. Megan wanted to share what grief is like in real-time. She shares what she's learned about how to support a suicidal person, how to take care of herself, and how others can support someone who is grieving a suicide death.

If you are in crisis you can reach out for assistance by calling 1-800-273-8255 or by texting 988.

Alright, let's talk fitness. Today we are discussing "As Seen on TV" exercise equipment and other hilarious fitness items - like the Shake Weight - that do not perform as promised. Join us for a laugh about some of the things we've foolishly wasted money on in the quest for abs. (And no, 8 minutes a day on the Ab Roller will not give you a 6-pack.)

To celebrate Inauguration Day, we're excited to share today's episode - a very special interview with the newly elected Pima County Attorney, Laura Conover. Laura spoke with us in December about criminal justice reform, running for office, and her advice for anyone, especially women, thinking of running in the future. As Laura says, "We can run. We can win. We can do amazing things."

(Quick note: We had some tech issues on the second half of this episode - sorry about that!)

In today's episode, we're talking manifestation! Specifically, our before-and-after manifesting journeys. Last fall, we started a 100-day manifestation journal challenge. We recorded the first half of this episode back in September and the second half after the 100 days. What is manifestation? Is it just spiritual bootstrapping? And... did it work?

Happy New Year! 

Today's episode is a recap of 2020: 

• highlights and lowlights, 
• lessons learned, 
• where we were at this time a year ago, 
• what we expected 2020 to bring (lol),

We hope you have a wonderful, safe New Year's Eve, and may 2021 bring you more of the good stuff and less of 2020.

Happy Christmas Eve! To celebrate having a lot of time off, we recorded a special Christmas Edition of SPOILER ALERT, our vintage movie review series. “Love Actually” has been a modern day Christmas classic for more than 15 years. In this episode, we run through every.single.plot line. and discuss what has aged well and what hasn’t. We also discuss why in the hell people love this dark ass film.  There are also many poor attempts at British accents.

It's almost New Year's Resolution season! In a couple weeks, we'll be inundated with messages about being "different" and "better" versions of ourselves. In this episode, we're talking about the pitfalls of setting New Year's Resolutions - from paying off debt to getting organized to losing weight - and discussing the Word of the Year concept as an alternative. We're talking about the words we chose in 2020 and what our 2021 words are. 

In this episode, we're talking about friendship - specifically, friendships with other women . Female friendships are often characterized as dramatic, gossipy, and catty, so we're here to dispel those garbage notions. We discuss the benefits of having friends who are women and the uphill battle women sometimes face in forging strong relationships with other women (it's the patriarchy).

Today we are talking about holiday traditions - food, gift exchanges, family drama, sweatshirts vs. dressing up, turkey vs. ham, ALL OF IT. Also please stop the White Elephants - one person always gets hosed and someone else always gets a butt plug. And TO BE CLEAR, crescent rolls are NOT an acceptable holiday dinner bread.

This might be our favorite episode of ALL TIME, so we hope you enjoy it!
