Top o' the morning to you, Prim and Proper friends! Or whatever time it is that you're listening this week. You may have guessed that this episode is about all things St. Patrick's Day. We're not Irish but on March 17th, we like to pretend we are just a little. Join us as we speculate about where this holiday came from, talk about all things green, and share some other ways Irish heritage is celebrated here in the States.

Women have always had to fight much harder for their right to make decisions for themselves. In fact, it wasn't until the 1960s that we were able to open our own bank accounts in the United States. Now that our economic power is rising, it's time to have more conversations about how we can use our money to keep thriving. This week on Prim and Proper, we are putting our money where our mouth is in this two-part episode about the taboo topic of finances.

That's right listeners, this week on Prim and Proper, we flirt with the idea of flirting.

Have a fun listen at some of our strategies and hot takes for sparking up conversations, showing genuine interest, and being a functional human in general.

Now that we've had a worldwide pandemic, perhaps our appreciation for modern medicine has increased. But if you were lucky enough to come down with a bad case of depression, mild obesity, or didn't want a baby in the 18th or 19th centuries, your treatment options were downright horrific. This week on Prim and Proper, we give our reviews of some of the more barbaric medical treatments of the past.

Not everyone in 2022 gave us the warm and fuzzies. And some people and situations straight up deserve a big lump of coal for Christmas this year. So, on today's episode of Prim and Proper, we sling some coal out to these motherf*ckers and hope they get their act together before the next holiday season.
