Swirl & Sip Podcast

And that's a wrap on Season 4! We can't believe we've made it to the end of another season. 

In this episode, we're reflecting on the transitions that have happened between when Swirl and Sip first started to now (our 100th episode by the way!). Not only have our boys gotten older, but we've made it through ups and downs, joys and sadness, and a whole pandemic!

In light of the June 24th, 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe versus Wade, we thought it was important to address the right of women and those who can become pregnant to have easy and safe access to abortion services and to make their own decisions about their reproductive health.

In this episode, Devin is sharing her personal story of abortion when she was a teen and we're discussing why access is so important.

More and more moms are finding the time to take time away! We know that mommying is a full-time job and that it can be hard to find space to reconnect with ourselves. Mom staycations (or even mom solo trips) help us recharge, reconnect, and come back home refreshed. In this episode, Devin and Sasha are talking about why mom solo trips are so important, even when our partners may not understand why.

Trigger warning for today's episode - we're discussing mass shootings and the recent school shooting. Please listen with your self-care and mental health in mind.

As mass shooting continue to happen daily, seventy percent of Americans think enacting new gun control laws should take precedence over protecting ownership rights. As parents, we continue to ask at what point do we say enough. In this episode, we're discussing the gun problem in America, the fear we have for our boys, and why we want everyone to just do better.

Shara is back this episode and we're diving into how her pregnancy has been not only during covid but after recently getting over it as well!

With Mother's Day this Sunday, many moms are gearing up to celebrate and be celebrated. And you know that here at Swirl and Sip, we're big believers in celebrating motherhood and pampering ourselves! But for many, Mother's Day brings a sense of loss, grief, and sadness.  In this episode, Sasha and Devin are talking about dealing with the loss of your mom and Mother's Day and lessons we learned from our moms.

If Covid has shown us anything it's that we have all probably reached the limits of what we can mentally handle at a given time. More and more Black and Brown women are understanding the importance of their mental health and tackling things like boundary setting and managing expectations with their families and friends. How do you handle your friendships when you have your own mental health struggles. Or how can you be a better friend when you know your friends are going through things. In this episode, Sasha and Devin are tackling the stigma of mental health and how to help your friends when they are struggling.

We know...you're already done hearing about it. And we are too! We promise this will be the only time you hear us talk about it. We don't normally dabble in current events, but we couldn't resist the urge to share our thoughts on "the slap heard round the world" aka all this Will Smith and Chris Rock drama.

In this episode, we're sharing lots of thoughts on everything from respectability politics, men protecting women, and the Jada hate that is simply uncalled for.
