Side-Eye with Madeye

Today I’m joined by two of my best friends, Lauren Monson and Rachel Felt, to talk about celebrity crushes! Who better for this topic than the biggest movie + film fanatics I know? These aren’t your regular celebrity crushes though. We’re including every category, from animated characters, to villains, to anthropomorphic hotties. Is Robinhood your type? Is Dimitri your daddy? There’s no shame in falling for a villain is there? Let’s see what you think! You’ll be learning much too much about our odd tastes, childhood crushes, and the men that raised us.

The month of love seems like an appropriate time to discuss proposals! It seems like everyone and their dog is getting engaged this time of year, so let’s talk some crap. We’re starting off with my explanation of the “Jessica Day Birthday Complex”, a psychological disorder recently invented by me to explain my holiday highs and lows, and then diving into the proposal talk. We’re discussing proposal trends, pet peeves, mishaps, and more! What I like and dislike about proposals, traditions that need to stop, and finally some cute (and one alarmingly odd) stories to finish us off.

***TRIGGER WARNING: eating disorders, mental illness, + body image.

This week’s episode is vulnerable, but I’m also honored to share my experience with all of you! I sat down with my sister Brynn to chat about our experiences with body image, disordered eating, and eating disorders. Brynn is a senior in high school who has recovered from Anorexia and Orthorexia. Our experiences are similar, yet different. Throughout junior high and high school we both struggled with disordered eating and eating disorders. My experience is different because I was not diagnosed at the time nor did I seek treatment. I struggle to put it into words still because part of me feels like it was “invalid” because I was not diagnosed or hospitalized at the time. Overall, I struggled through disordered eating bordering into Anorexia. Body image was always in the picture for us, but “eating disorders” seemed so extreme. They seemed like things that only happen to people far away or in movies. We were just “normal” teens eliminating sugar and fat and trying to be healthy. Just “normal” teens on a diet. Just “normal” teens exercising a few hours a day. Just “normal” teens whose biggest fear was gaining weight. Well...wasn’t that “normal”?

Years later for me, I had a rude awakening when Brynn ended up in the hospital because of her eating disorder. It was then that I started to get educated and seek out help. Eating disorders aren’t just “crazy” and “extreme” things that happen to a select few. They’re extremely common. Much more common than I would have ever imagined. As I dove into learning about my own experience I came to a lot of realizations about my own past at the same time as Brynn was just starting to heal.

I’m so grateful Brynn was willing to open up about this. It was an extremely vulnerable, yet incredible conversation with my sister and we hope if anyone is struggling this helps you feel less alone. Your experience is valid. Whether or not you’ve had a full blown eating disorder or struggle with thoughts about your own body image.

I’m speaking my mind today with these unpopular opinions! I’ll be sharing some of my own along with listener submitted ones for some hot takes! Do you dislike all things Disney?

We’re getting controversial and getting to know each other better than ever!

Let’s have a little blast from the past! We’re throwin’ it back to junior high! I’ll be bringing back some memories you didn’t even know you had by talking about which styles we regret from my junior high years. Uggs, shade shirts, and Aeropostale were all crucial parts of teen fashion from 2009-2011 and as a basic, Utah, Mormon, shy girl I went along with it. While the Justin Bieber movie midnight premiere was the pinnacle or my junior high career, crocheted headbands and graphic tees were a close second. Let’s relive these moments shall we?

We’re back for 2021 and feeling better than ever AND there’s nothing I’d rather do to celebrate than going through what Tik Tok trends got me through 2020. We’re not just talking about Addison Rae’s most liked videos, we’re talking about what niche areas of Tik Tok I got lost in that made me laugh for months. Buckle up folks, you may just discover you love Capybaras, sexy Willy Wilka, and WAP remixes as much as I do!
