Have you watched the new Documentary Gone Girls on Netflix?  Because Murder Podcasts are Melissa's favorite and this is pretty close to Marybel and Linda's version of a hometown murder, we're talking about it this week:

A missing woman, a haunting 911 call, and a decades-long mystery. We break down the Gilgo Beach Serial Killer case — from Shannan Gilbert’s disappearance to the arrest of Rex Heuermann.

Shockingly enough, we're all over the place this episode.  Do you know what waffle stomping is?  Have you ever heard the term? Melissa shares a local Facebook group story and explains to Marybel and Linda what waffle stomping is. 

We also chat about the transition into being a caretaker for your parents and the recurring theme of the importance of good friendships.

We've got another Reddit "Am I the Asshole" episode for you all.  This time we're sharing the story of Amy whose husband is clearly more committed to his work wife than his real wife.

Listen to the wild story and see if you think she is overreacting or justified in debating filing for divorce.

Are you out there on the dating apps making yourself smaller?  Do you keep allowing the substandard guys through the door? Do you do it at work? In your marriage?

We're chatting about why we do this to ourselves.  We can encourage our friends and remind them of their worth but we seem to constantly shortchange ourselves.

We also talk about what our standards are, what makes sense for every person when it comes to what you want and what is the bare minimum.

We're back after a brief break because we were on our annual Girls' Trip. Join us to recap the trip and hear about how we rocked out in Nashville: the clothing, the bars, the random 32-year-olds hitting on us, the karaoke bar, and the tattoos!  

We also chat about Bel's most recent date fail...who only orders a caprese salad for dinner??

Are you really alright though?  Things we say in conversation, but if we're looking inside and digging deep: How are you really?

And while we're on the subject let's talk about time management, coping mechanisms, and self-care.  As women, we're doing everything for everyone around us and not prioritizing our own needs. 

We also talk about the various dating apps and which are the best to use, or at least our opinion. We'll dive into what you need to keep an eye out for as a red flag.

Melissa also shares the riveting story of how she and her boyfriend "met".

We're returning from our very long (and much-deserved) break and have so much to catch you up on.  SURPRISE, we've got our very first video podcast, now you can see what we all look like and get the visuals to go with the audio.

We're talking about what we've been up to these last many weeks, New Year's resolutions, Bel's exciting new hobby and we also discover that Linda has NEVER listened to the podcast!

So hurry up and get your butt over to listen/watch us NOW!

It seemed unlikely that we could avoid the elephant in the room (pun intended), so we decided to open that can of worms and chat about the election.  More specifically, how do you handle loved ones who voted differently than you, and what it looks like trying to navigate those relationships now.

TW: You may not agree with some or all of what we have to say, so this might be a good episode to skip.  *wink*

We're back with another Am I the Asshole (AITA) episode.  This one sounds like quite the mystery - How could she only have found out she is not the biological mother of the child she assumed she was? And if not, then who the hell IS the mother?

Listen now to find out...

What fears did your parents instill in you when you were younger that were likely completely false or irrational but you believed 100% until you were a full-grown adult - or maybe you still do?

We also take a detour to talk about women's health:

• Being dismissed or not taken seriously when bringing up concerns to your doctor. 
• Myths of pregnancies childbirth and maybe the miracle wasn't such a miracle for you?
• Being a girls girl - what works for you, works for you.  Don't push your opinions on other women or make them feel bad for what she chooses.
• Postpartum depression, who knew we had it back then?
