CW: Harassment

To shout "f*ck you!!!" at the dude catcalling us on the street, or to not potentially get murdered for standing up for ourselves? That is the question. On this week's episode, we fill our Feminist Rant Quota by making the whole episode the feminist rant! 

It's an interview! Join us with special guest, Sarah Gise, as we talk about ADHD, Art, Life, and how Therapy is Sexy af! Now with more feminist rants and a special story about why Sarah isn't allowed in Ikea anymore.

Sometimes anxiety is too much to tackle alone! So this week we brought on Chicago actor, dramaturg, visual artist, and friend of the show: David Weiss! Together, we discuss how anxiety is a beautiful waterfall... or maybe more of a mud slide. Join us for laughs and catharsis at the start of our guest series!

This week, our intrepid podcast hosts tackle how their anxiety manifests itself during projects, creative or otherwise! Namely, how they suffer under the demands of their favorite toxic friends, Procrastination, Perfectionism, and Imposter Syndrome. The Mean Girls of our brains.
