This week, you are invited to listen in on a vulnerable, honest, and hopefully not-too-trashy conversation about reclaiming sexual pleasure in relationships. After years of associating desire with shame, it's time to deconstruct the messages that no longer serve us and move toward a rich and meaningful (sex) life. This week holds tips for discussing your needs with your partner, hints on spicing things up, and a couple embarrassing stories along the way. Grab your headphones and tune in!

This week's episode is part 2 of a two-week conversation around parenting beyond purity culture. Tasha and Mel discuss further how they balance their values and aspirations for their children while aiming to avoid shame and oppressive messaging. As with all things mangled-spaces, there aren't perfect answers, but Mel and Tash share their first hand experiences in working out the messes of life.

After spending a couple of episodes unpacking how purity culture influenced their upbringings, Tasha and Mel shift gears to discuss how they are choosing to parent in light of their histories and their values. This week's episode is part 1 of a two-week conversation around parenting beyond purity culture. Part one unpacks some truths about development and psychology, giving us the tools to view behaviors in light of what needs our developing children have.

Two young girls, similar messages, and completely different stories. I waited- I didn't, let the truth-telling begin.. P.S.- You might want to grab your headphones.

Purity Culture- the Evangelical movement that had a lasting yet detrimental impact on a generation. Listen in as Mel and Tash dive into a book that rocked both their worlds. Get ready because this conversation is just getting started..

Are you familiar with the feeling of "barely making it"? We are! This week, we chat through the reality that God gives us enough for each day....but some days it feels like *barely* enough. If that sounds disheartening, listen in to hear how we are aiming to navigate this season of "survival mode" with hope and strength to move forward day after day. This provision of "just enough for today" isn't God's way of cutting us short or tricking us--it's actually an invitation to draw closer and closer to him. Join us as we lean in to the grace of God that is renewed for us each day.

If motherhood (or adulthood for that matter) is feeling like living in a crappy apartment, rather than your dream home: this week's episode is dedicated to you. We dreamed it would be one way (a great, beautiful, magical way)...and we just aren't there yet. This week, Tash and Mel talk about doing a little bit of DIY work on their "work in progress" life status, instead of wishing this time away. Join in, and get inspired to make the best of this "not-quite-what-I-dreamed-of" season of life.

This week Tash and Mel discuss the messiness of the back to school season, navigating trauma in transition and raising our kids to be kind humans.

This week Mel and Tash talk through the idea of framing our decisions in terms of "towards" or "away" moves. Rather than getting wrapped up in the idea of success or failure, we have the opportunity to see every choice as a series of steps that lead us towards or away from the rich and healthy life we desire. Life isn't a race you need to win, but every moment holds an opportunity to move towards the life you want to have.

Join us as we conclude our mini series on the art and necessity of prioritizing self. We have spent the last 4 weeks breaking down the importance and details of self care, self soothing and self compassion. Listen in today as we bring everything back to the basics and discuss what it looks like to prioritize self in the day to day mangled spaces of life. Thanks for listening! Love, Tasha & Mel
