It's Nothing, It's Everything

As the holiday season rapidly approaches, we're having big feels about the power and importance of saying no to save your sanity. Do you lean into the hibernation, or make yourself available for every event? Also- some listener shout-outs and questions answered (is it a #kthottake?? Who knows anymore), and a brief glimpse into what it's like to solo hike as a female.

It's a battle between the law of opposites and the law of opposition this week. This week's parfait starts nice and breezy with navigating Halloween when your kiddos are opposites. Then a hard turn to the duality of opposites vs opposition in marriage, and what it means to face the reality that you've signed up to either grow together or die together. Which one would you rather?

At this point we are seasoned chrysalides (chrysalises?). Maybe gooier than before, but also definitely evolving toward something new and different. From the cone of marriage to Disneyland when your kids are ten years apart, we start a whole lot of discussions. But do we end any of them? Definitely maybe.

We made it to our thirtieth episode babay! Thirty questions, thirty seconds each, and two people who are NOT great at recall under pressure. That, and chatGPT threw us some curveballs. It's a doozy!

We are all bags of goo, preparing to build our wings and something something something. Picture this: it's Friday afternoon after a year-long week, and we are lacking both in brain power and self control. We touch on funny things, our younger years, sexual exploration (+ bad dating stories), cults, nudist colonies... and also our pod club! If you're looking to hear something profound, allow us to recommend literally any podcast where Jon Batiste is a guest. Here, today, you will get goo.

It's #kthottake time, and we're having a chuckle about the $0.01 women's non-oncology health research gets on the dollar. JK. It's not funny. There's endometriosis, ovarian cysts, medical gaslighting, and how to navigate the broken loop of a health system that was not designed for you in mind. We're not saying all hope is lost, but we are saying that women deserve better.

Why are small children such unreliable narrators and how are we meant to stay sane? We start with a near-horror story that then launches a journey from conception to menstruation to adult education and the power of self-knowing. There are anatomy plushies, partially inaccurate movie references, and things you'll never see on our bumper sticker. What a time.

Some amazing tools we reference:

We're having a big week over here, learning life's hard lessons in real time. We talk betrayal, re-learning the foundation of relationships, the power of connection, and we even throw in a hot self-defense tip. Plus, a few pieces of listener feedback! It's thicker than a Double Stuf Oreo.

Okay we know it's more than that. We're hitting big life transitions, having faith when you can't see the road ahead, and a glorious story about the consequences of a stomach virus. It's a real parfait.

We can't tell. We talk about our fight or flight responses (and their inverse), we ask the Black Eyed Peas where the love is, we discuss the power of living love for yourself and those around you... We also exchange tactics on getting our small children to communicate and take adventure bites. It's a real banger. There are tears and laughter and all the usual INIE things. Come peel the onion with us.
