  • Your Shadow Self // Relationships & feminism in SLOMW

    This week on the podcast, Quinn reminds Riley to be there for her shadow self as much as her sunshiny self. Discussing season four of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," the twins ponder judgment within friendships, generational trauma, and gender equality. This episode asks: is there room for the "men are trash" sentiment in contemporary feminism?

  • When GRIEF leads to GRATITUDE & creativity

    In today’s episode, Quinn shares about her recent experience with grief. The twins’ conversation testifies to how grief can lead to growth in a number ways. Q&R talk about art making, asking for help and building community, and they deep dive into the lows and highs that accompany stages of grief. Additionally, The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer comes as a highly recommended read as an exploration of the importance of creating gift economies. Tune in for an honest and vulnerable share about navigating through a day during a life-altering event.
