Depending on who you are, embracing your sexuality can take a while. And after you get the hang of that, comes the really hard part: taking a trust fall and sharing the news with your loved ones. This week on Prim and Proper, we're kicking off Pride Month by talking about coming out of the metaphorical closet. Whether you're Zander Moricz, Marinella Mozzicato, or a guy called "R", this episode celebrates the courage it takes to wave your rainbow flag for the first time.

The moment the pink slice of cake appears at a gender reveal party the idea of femininity starts to reveal itself, too. It shows up everywhere from the toys we steer little girls toward to the clothes we put on as adults to be more "desirable." This week on Prim and Proper, Elizabeth and Marinella try to define something that feels undefinable: femininity. 

It's been nearly 50 years since Roe v Wade when the Supreme Court overwhelmingly decided that women had the fundamental right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. With a recent draft leak published by Politico, we learned all of that could be overturned soon. So this week on Prim and Proper, through our red hot rage, we are finding the words to express what this really means to us and share what other sign-holding women in the country think about it, too. Handmaid robe fittings to follow. 

From translating the meaning of different baby cries to sizing up your newest significant other, mothers have been the ultimate protector of their children for as long as we can remember. And one day a year we pause to say, "Happy Mother's Day!" This week on Prim and Proper, we talk about where the holiday got its start, how we've celebrated with our moms, and why this might not be the easiest day for everyone.

Most dates are unremarkable: you get to know each other and the natural forces take over. But some can haunt you for years to come. This week on Prim and Proper, we share our Tales from the Dating Crypt. We bring you the awkward, raunchy, and just plain rude dating stories that will make you understand single cat ladies just a little bit better. 

Some call it a woman's gut feeling, others a sixth sense, and for this episode, we're calling it good ol' intuition. From bad vibes to strange coincidences, this week on Prim and Proper, we talk about things we just know without really knowing. 

Most of us go about our lives making the best decisions we can for ourselves at the time. But what about those moments when you look back, cringe, and wish you had taken another path? This week on Prim and Proper, we talk about what it means to "regret" and some things we wish we could redo. 

Nothing says "older and wiser" like having a heaping supply of supplements, finding a different kind of "bar" scene, and giving up that frying pan you had in college. This week on Prim and Proper, we tell you we're in our 30s without telling you we're in our 30s. 

Women put so much effort into being "good." That's why in this week's final Prim and Proper Women's Month episode, Elizabeth and Marinella pay tribute to a few that dared to be unhinged, bad, selfish, and just plain evil. Disclaimer: We do not promote violence or murder. Unless they really had it coming. 

Trigger warning: domestic violence, rape, and murder are discussed in this episode.
