Oversharing

Shout out to the class of 2006: TWENTY years ago right now you were prepping up for your freshman year of high school! Maria and Tawny recount their high school memories and it’s safe to say they had very different paths. Next, Maria outlines the Kendrick Johnson documentary (Finding Kendrick Johnson; Starz) and breaks down all the horrific details that prove this case was mishandled. Have you ever lost track of your child for a second and felt the whole world stop?! Same. Tawny and Maria talk about how to better spot your kids and what to keep an eye on in an emergency. The education system expecting all children to be the same is forever frustrating; the women talk about some of the things they wish they would’ve learned & what’s still missing from the classroom. They finish up with some discussion about splitting the bill, paying as much as your coupled friends and how awkward gift giving can be.

TRIGGER WARNING

The Kendrick Johnson documentary is very graphic and this podcast episode goes into detail about the forensic photos.

A debate with a male friend has Tawny questioning people’s logic and once again wondering how we can pretend there aren’t imbalances in the world. She opens up about the first time she ever had to visit sex crimes and what it felt like to be shamed for being a victim. Maria talks about how her self-esteem affected her ability to learn and the women try to figure out how we can help our children be more confident. Team sports are a great way to help your child’s development, but can your behavior as a sports parent tear them down? Tawny and Maria revisit their experience with sports and what it was like to be forced to do things you didn’t want to do (and eat things you didn’t want to eat) as a child. Floored by a school district in Missouri allowing corporal punishment in the classroom the women discuss how they feel about spanking and why they think force from adults is just another show of control. Student Loan debt is being forgiven! For Tawny, this is cause for celebration, but not everyone is happy; Tawny and Maria discuss why they think this is a win and explore some of the trouble that comes from the way the FASFA works.

Maria has visited alllll the doctors lately to make sure her cancer is staying the F away, but the meds helping her fight it have thrown her a curveball. She fills us in on what’s next and the women discuss the importance of having a team when it comes to your health. Getting proper healthcare and finding the right doctors is really hard; and it’s even harder when the statistics are against you. The women touch on Aftershock (Hulu) and the devastating costs of Black women’s pain being ignored. Andrew Tate has been officially banned from Instagram! Tawny delivers the good news to Maria and they talk about why Tate is so dangerous and how easy it is for negativity to spread. What’s worst than a male misogynist? Yup, you know it: a female misogynist. Tawny and Maria call out the newest traitor they’ve come across and explore some of the things she had to say about fat women not being worthy of love.

Tawny and Maria talk about their struggles with memory and how much of it they think is contributed to the constant distractions around us. Jennette McCurdy is an actress who found fame as a child while being abused by her extremely toxic mother and she recently released a book titled I’m Glad My Mom Died. Tawny & Maria discuss the matter of fact title and the importance of holding shitty people accountable. As a mother and daughter pair themselves, the women talk about the jealousy and competition that can exist in mother/daughter relationships and take a look at how it may have popped up in their own lives. Tawny shares some gossip about a popular Instagram page which opens up conversations about entitlement, popular baby names and how to teach your kids boundaries. With social media being a go-to way to make money, it is not uncommon for people to get their children in on the action. At what point are children being exploited and denied consent? How do we protect our own children and those that work in show business?

Tawny and Maria use this episode for some old fashioned bitching! Not really, but kind of. They start off talking about a social experiment Maria found on Tik Tok which opens up the topic of what's appropriate behavior when you have a blended family. Have you ever had your birthday shine taken away from you? Tawny talks about the importance of not sharing everything. Maria questions why it is so tough for people to take accountability for their actions and where lack of awareness stems from. Tawny opens up about the different ways her anxiety manifests and how she even realized what it was. Since women seem to be blamed for a lot (even things they have nothing to do with), the ladies debate why women are expected to own up to things while being encouraged to pardon men. Tawny asks Maria what has been annoying her lately and the ladies run through some frustrating topics including Roe v. Wade, Pick-Me Women and the dangerous ass conspiracy theorist flooding the media.

Seeking Sister Wives has also returned and brings up the conversation of some of Tawny's favorite topics: many wives, polyamory and cults! How does a man with many wives and even more children make himself available to everyone? Dating is hard; especially with the way times have changed.
