When it comes to touchy subjects such as sex, drugs, alcohol, and any other issue that make a mom cringe at the though of discussing them with their children, it can be very difficult to find the words to not only make the topic less uncomfortable, but easier to discuss. In this week's episode, Van and I dive into how we talk to our kids about these issues. What we want our children to know and understand without making it awkward and uncomfortable to talk about. How do you discuss these topics with your children? We'd love to know. Hit us up on on Twitter using #uncomfortabletopics and tell us how you discuss these issues with your kids. We'd love to know how you deal and what advice you'd give. We can't wait to hear from you! We would also like to know who you think is right in the debate we had on this episode about how we hear ouselves recording.

There is no doubt anxiety and depression can be very difficult and frustrating to deal with. It's a misunderstood disorder in so many ways. As Van and I have learned, being the person experiencing symptoms is already tough, but also being involved with someone who is afflicted with mental illness, it's not always easy to understand. Someone suffering from depression and/or anxiety (to name a couple symptoms) is in a constant battle with themselves just to get out of bed in the morning, so they can make it through the day. Most of the time, they feel like they are dying inside. It takes the motivation and ambition right out of someone. Mental Illness is no doubt, one of the hardest things anyone can deal with and it affects everyone in so many different ways.

In Episode 22, Van and I dive into our own experiences dealing with mental illness and how debilitating it can be for us. We also touch on how it has people in our lives including my daughter, Catelynn, who has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. There is nothing worse than seeing your child suffer and not be able to help.

There are so many aspects of one's life that can be challenging and difficult when dealing with the stress and struggles of mental distress and illness. Mental health is so important and should never be dismissed. Please listen in and let us know what you think. This should never be a silent issue, the word should be spread. So let's talk about it. 

Contact us on Twitter using #mentalillness and tell us how your mental health has affected your daily life. We'd love to know how you deal and what advice you'd give. We can't wait to hear from you! We'd also love to hear what you think about the new direction we've started taking our Podcast!

Does your family put the "fun" in dys"fun"nction? We know exactly what you mean. In episode 21 of Spiked Coffee, Van and Kris talk about how different family situations can cause some friction and drama. Van talks about an issue she's currently dealing with in her family and how it's putting a strain on her relationship with her brother. She feels like he is acting like the world owes him; therefore, he isn't taking responsibility for his current life problems and situation and expects everyone to handle and solve all of his problems for him. He isn't taking the initiative to help himself and she's extremely frustrated by it.

In almost every family, there is some type of drama and BS! We'd love to hear what yours are and how you deal with these crazy family dynamics.

Contact us on Twitter using #familybs and tell us how you put the fun in dysfunction, too! We would truly love to hear your family fun stories! 

We are now on iHeartRadio!! You can also listen to our podcast here on PodBean as well as on Google Play, Facebook, Instagram, iTunes, Spotify and YouTube.
