Reading Love In a Fucked Up World, by activist and badass Dean Spade, got our wheels turning around the concepts: "romance myths" and de-centering romantic relationships. Questions and theories have been posed: should/could/would one person, your romantic partner, be your whole world? Is rigidity around that harmful? How harmful? How can we create more sustainable, rich, evolving relationships?

"Today, we turn to one person to provide what an entire village once did," Esther Perel

Lindsay is still sober from dating and Ilyse is getting more and more sober-curious with each passing scam. If we sound annoyingly jaded... we are. We are enraged with the programming and our participation + perpetuation. Taylor Armstrong ENOUGH.

Do we still love love? Of coooourse. We don't identify as anti-romantic relationship but do often lean Girl-Break-Up-With-Him.

In this yap-session, we gush over current lomls: family, chosen family, Mother Earth, and ourselves. Come hill attachment wounds, app culture trauma, and all the bullshit alongside us!

and come back next week for our conversation with Dean Spade!!
