Welcome back, y'all! We are still settling down after a few chaotic months, but we wanted to talk about a few things that have been on our minds lately - toxic people and toxic relationships. Amanda shares her views on what could be seen as a toxic relationship and Melanie shares her experiences and personal dealings with cutting people out of her life.

Hey y'all! Thank you again for having so much patience with us, we have hectic schedules and as we have talked about in previous episodes, Melanie is still figuring out her new medication schedule and Amanda has been very busy with her family. Times are rough and sometimes our productivity with the podcast gets put on hold, but don't worry, when we have the time we're here! Melanie is doing much better energy wise and is able to work more on personal projects, like this podcast! Your support and understanding is so important to us, we just wanted to state that before we get into today's Episode description.

So for today's episode we're playing a bit of catch up as well as talking about some controversial topics, like Life After Death, Seances, Haunted Dolls, and more! We lightly touch on the topics of Demons and Deities and our personal take on Religions. But as you know, we tend to bounce around a lot and forget what we even started to talk about ...in the first place (whoops Austism and ADHD much?)

The show Melanie mentions in this episode is Surviving Death on Netflix

The Tarot Deck Melanie uses for the one card pull is The Dark Wood Tarot which you can find online or here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/938408413/dark-wood-tarot

Hey y'all and welcome back! In today's Episode we start a new series. This series is something very close to Amanda and Melanie's hearts. As mothers who have experienced trauma with their own births, they felt incredibly honored that Victoria from @amamawithtrauma reached out to them to talk about her personal birth trauma story and boy is it an intense one.

This episode does contain topics that might be graphic for some individuals so listener discretion is advised.
