Trigger Warning and Content warning: This episode mentions negative body image, abuse, bullying, disordered eating and fat shaming.

On this week's episode, we start a series that takes a personal look into the effects of negative body image relating to weight, fat shaming, and diet culture in our society. 

On this episode, Jennifer Elmberg, Psychotherapist with Insight Counseling of Virginia and one of our hosts Alex, shares their own vulnerable journeys with this sensitive topic. Our goal is to start talking about a subject that many experience but few feel comfortable discussing openly. So enjoy and listen with care.

From across the pond in England, say hello to Jamie Seward (pronounced Cee-word).  This super sized episode has so many subjects, it's actually hard to make a list.  There's even a small cameo by Jamie's son Alphie at the end. 

Side note: This episode was recorded using Google Meets, and with that comes the understanding that the audio is not as crisp as it is when we're usually recording.  

We're back and this week we're talking about the annoying and scary things as we move into October (AKA the spooky season). 

We're back in Dave's garage with a plethora of random subjects!

This week, we're back with REAL microphones and topics that don't even remotely have anything in common.
