Tales From Suburbia

This week, we took an Enneagram test to see what personality types we are.

Melinda put some random words in a hat and we improvised our thoughts on the topics.

Hey, Hi, Hello! We wanted to let you know about some books we have read the last couple of months. Ashley tends to read modern and contemporary romances as well as sad or emotional stories. Melinda is all about that Fantasy life! Hopefully we provide some insight into something you may want to read or we might mention something that you were thinking about reading and now we have steered you in a different direction.

'This week, we are discussing what we have been up to in our personal lives. We haven't recorded for 3 months so we had some updates to discuss. There was a lot of laughing and Melinda razzing Ashley and talking shit on her therapist that completely ghosted her (the unethicality of it all).

Well, here we are again. This week, we discuss how hard it is to parent Gen Alpha as a Millennial.

This week Melinda and Ashley discuss the little things that make bring them joy. This is a longer episode and was going to be even longer, but it had to be made into two episodes During their discussion, Melin and Ashley went off on a tangent about motherhood. That part of the episode will be released separately in a couple weeks. Enjoy the conversation about food, Disneyland, our kids, but mainly food.

What were people writing in Ashley's Senior yearbook? Listen to find out. Hint, she apparently trauma dumped all over the place. Were these normal yearbook messages? Melinda thinks not.

This week, we look at some films from our childhood that would probably send Gen Z into a coma. The 80's and 90's were not PC and scripts were greenlit that no one would allow today. We decided to delve into some movies that we really enjoyed as kids, but as adults can see that they were problematic AF.

***Just a warning: this episode discusses racism, white supremacy, transphobia, misogyny, and other topics that might be triggering to some.

We are looking back at our first year of being podcasters. We wanted to share what we have learned from our experience and some takeaways that may help you if you were thinking of starting your own podcast. Feel free to ask us more about podcasting.
