Uncorked

Welcome back to another episode of Uncork & Unwind! 

**AIR HORN** We are so excited to be sitting down, sipping vino, and spilling the tea with half of the Big Birdie Bitches Golf League, AKA our "moms", Karen and Sue. We've got Vieni Estates Pinot Grigio and Rosé on deck, and by the end of the episode you can definitely tell we had too much... fun... of course... 

Today we are getting the answers to our burning questions as Karen and Sue give us some life advice, some hangover stories, and telling us about the craziest nights they've had. 

This was the most hilarious experience and we are so grateful they sat down with us. 

 

Disclaimer: this is our first time recording with others - and it was a learning experience for all involved. We are well aware that the audio quality isn't the same as the rest of our episodes, and we are working hard to make sure we nail it in the future. Regardless, it's a great episode, and we hope you love listening to it as much as we loved recording it.

Welcome back to another episode of Uncork & Unwind... *poli-sigh*, let's spill the poli- tea...

Today we're talking politics... kinda. We're uncorking a bottle of Tawse 2017 Riesling while we take you through a quick Canadian politics lesson that you definitely slept through in high school, and then discuss where we fall on a political compass.

 

We unpack how the internet has infiltrated its way into our thought patterns surrounding politics, government and fake news. We chat about the Social Dilemma, the passing of RBG and much more.

Welcome back to another episode of Uncork & Unwind! 

... What? Like it's hard? ... to answer questions that don't actually have answers, or that are impossible to answer? Well, we unpacked some of those very questions and gave it a shot, anyways.

Welcome back to another episode of Uncork & Unwind! We are back after a week of silence to uplift the voices in the Black and Trans communities. We stand in solidarity with these communities and will continue to advocate for their protection. 

 

In today's episode, we play Questions With Friends and we answer some fun questions on behalf of ourselves and one another. What would we be arrested for? Do we like surprises? Who would play us in the movie about our lives?

Welcome back to another episode of Uncork & Unwind! 

We officially uncorked today to kick off our weekly wine series. We opened up Calamus Estate Winery's 2017 Merlot and dove deep into the importance of knowing who you are, your needs and your desires to show up better in your relationships to make them the most fulfilling they can possibly be. 

Equipping yourself with the language necessary to intrinsically understand who you are will help you with figuring out the kinds of relationships you desire, the different ways in which you feel and express love, but will ultimately ensure that you are able to show up as your best self in any facet of your life. This is so important, and so empowering.

Welcome back to Uncork & Unwind! Today we are sitting down and unpacking the things we've learned over the past 5 months. We discuss the impacts of racism and stereotyping, what we've been doing throughout quarantine, and the things we've learned along the way. We discuss how to have compassion for others, while having compassion for yourself, and give some tips on how to adjust to our new normal.

Welcome to another episode of Uncork & Unwind! Today we are unpacking toxic relationships and toxic people. What are classic signs of toxic behaviour? What is gas lighting? How do you get to the other side? We dive deep into self- reflection, forgiveness, healing and how to make sure you don’t repeat history. 

 

TW: Brief discussions of domestic abuse, animal harm, and psychological manipulation. 

 

DISCLAIMER: We are not claiming to be all knowing or even exempt from the behaviours and ideas discussed in this episode. We want to make it abundantly clear that we recognize that not all individuals have equal access to or the ability to seek the different means of ‘help’ that we discussed today.

 

Huge shoutout to Richard Pendlebury (Excalibur Music) for our amazing new intro music. Check out his work: www.excaliburmusicca.wordpress.com

Welcome to the first **official** episode of Uncork & Unwind! Today we are unpacking the university experience. We take you through our personal university journeys, sharing what we learned along the way, and dished out some advice to our younger selves.
