It’s For The Table

There is no rule in the book of life that tells you to keep the same daily routine in your life. We believe when change comes your way, the best thing to do is let the universe take the wheel and embrace it. This week the ladies of IFTT talk about a drastic change in their hairstyles and compare it to big picture life moments.

Whether you've experienced toxcity in relationships, friendships, or in your everyday environments - we all have common ground in the fact that regardless of how or when, we have experienced it. Toxicity doesn't discriminate. Some are better at spotting it than others but luckily for our listeners the IFTT ladies were NOT good at avoiding toxic people and environments at first so we have some a lot of stories and tips on how to manuveur through the toxic shit. But also luckily for you (and us) we have learned and grown from our past and we are excited to share those lessons with you as well! ⠀

We are not experts and everyone's experience is different. If you are experiencing toxicity in any form, please know you're not alone. Here are some hotlines that are available:

Confidence is something we feel in our bodies. It can be hard to find, but it’s a feeling we have inside. But not feeling good enough is the biggest struggle that stops us from following our dreams, making changes in our lives, and contributing our ideas to the world. This week we talk about where we get our confidence from and why everyone should feel confident about everything they do, no matter what.

Nowadays it seems like crime stories seem more popular than ever. But why are we obsessed with them? This week the IFTT ladies breakdown some facts and information on why specifically women are so intrigued by true crime. We also want to bring awareness of the importance of highlighting victims of these horrible cases versus glorifying the storyline.

Content Warnings: General discussions of violence, murder, and rape. Please listen with caution.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly disrupted and affected education systems across the country and around the world. It has changed the way we see classrooms and is now constantly shifting, with the health of students, teachers, and their families.

Britney Spears hasn’t been able to fully live her own life for 13 years, stuck in a court-sanctioned conservatorship. And it wasn't until now that people were made aware of the dark reality of her life until a recent documentary. But the hyper-focus on the downfall of women in the limelight didn't start with Britney. In this week's episode, the ladies of IFTT talk about all things Britney but also how tired we are of women having to apologize and explain themselves for how they’re living their lives.

So, what's the big difference? Loneliness is marked by a sense of isolation, of lack, like something's missing—it's a negative vibe all around.

The ladies of IFTT talk about whether they're feeling lonely or are trying to get over the amount of time they have to spend alone.
