Well Said with Syd

OH LORD. The holiday season is basically here as we scurry into December... So time to talk about how you are going to PUT YOU FIRST. Holiday's can stir up a lot of emotions for any of us - Body image issues, relationships with your family, his family, or friends, & can bring you down. Do you give a gift for your current "fling"? Why do I continue to go to family gatherings that DON'T make me feel good? Why do I act different around his family vs. mine? Most importantly, how do I put me first???

WORST family holiday moments are shared from the listeners, along with a whole lot of #StraightCandid moments from Syd & Soph - we had a lot to share OK! Laugh a little, reflect a little, & prep a little for your holiday szn with us! Just promise us one thing... if you've got a situation that doesn't feel good to be in, please don't go this year, Capeesh? The season of giving doesn't mean sacrificing your mental health!!!

It's about time Syd’s boyfriend made another appearance on the podcast. Jordan Hagel was last behind the mic in 2020 (episode 18) and it is crazy to hear how much Syd, Jordan, and their relationship has grown since then. Jordan is here and ready to talk ALL the relationship details: Who made the first move? Why does their relationship work? Is syd the one?

The listeners had a few questions for Jordan as well - including if he remembers the first time Syd tooted in front of him. Are toots a turn off? What is the timeline for an acceptable “first toot?"

Taking a break from relationship talk, Jordan offers up some financial advice for the newly grads. WTF even is a 401k? Do I have one? How can I get one? He also has some great tips on managing financial differences within a relationship and/or dating. Determining who pays the bill is trickier than you think. Hmm..

JOIN US in welcoming Jordan Hagel! We love you Jordyyyyy!

Read the title again. Be prepared to be candid & reflect in this week's episode with THE Dana Patterson as we discuss Body positivity vs body NEUTRALITY & society's fat phobia. Why are we shifting from body positivity? Are you using it in the correct form? Are we being fat phobic with things we say day to day?

Syd & Soph reflect candidly with the model, who is an OG in the body neutrality and eating disorder recovery space. After spending over a decade in the modeling industry, Dana explains why she thinks not everyone should strive to be a part of the space & how she only chooses brands to work with based on their TRUE inclusivity of everyone. But who isn't doing this? Welcome our unapologetically real & raw guest, Dana <3

Warning: Discussion of eating disorders lives within this podcast - please be mindful of where you are at in the healing process. We love you!

"Commitment." Did you cringe? We know the word alone is enough to make some f-boys run far far away. And for the partners of the commitment adverse, it ain't any easier. Syd and Soph explain what commitment phobia IS and what commitment phobia isn't. Hint: if they failed to text you back after the first date it is NOT a commitment issue.

Syd and Soph also share their opinions about attachment styles, vibrating backpacks, and 12-year old boys who dislike short kings. Enjoy nuggets!

Nykita Joy puts the "super" in "super star” and "influence" in "influencer." Nykita (@neoitgirl) is a trans icon & queen who uses her platform to amplify the JOYS of being YOU - Unapologetically. Nykita was born in Minnesota but moved to NYC to pursue a career in makeup, when she was discovered on a job & jumped directly into modeling. She represents what the modeling industry seems to missing: inclusion, authenticity, and transgender representation. 

We cannot thank Nykita enough for opening up about her life & helping us normalize candid conversations for our LGBTQIA+ brothers & sisters. 

Nykita spent her early years accepting, finding, and navigating her identity - all while being surrounded by right winged influences from one small town to another. Listen along as Nykita shares her story and tells us why we all need to go talk to our MANS in our life, like right NOW. Change is happening, but slowly. It is our job (and YOUR job) to have more of these candid convos so we can continue to move forward. <3

"Did I just get ghosted?"

We ALLLLL know a ghoster. For some of us, that ghoster might be YOU. Some of us fear it, some of us DO it. When is it okay to ghost? When is someone bad at communicating OR just not that interested? What do I do after getting ghosted?? Honey... we've got you covered during this spooky season. A little candid banter on who we've done it too, who's DARED do it to us ;) and how to overcome the bad communication skills & rejection. We sneak in a few other stories too - including a health scare & a clever poo poo trick. She is SPOOKY - Enjoy candid crew!

WOAH. This week Lyndsey Fraser took this podcast to an entirely new level. A NEW FREAKIN LEVEL! Before you listen we highly recommend grabbing your partner, a pen, and your active listening skills. Lydnsey (MA, LMFT, CST) is a certified sex therapist and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been maintaining a small private practice since 2011. 

We chat about the connection between enneagrams and sexuality, desire discrepancies, and how the relationship cycle plays out in a long term commitment. Syd and Soph even share their OWN sexual insecurities to get a professional take on the issues. Hint: we know we aren’t the only ones who struggle with performance vs enjoyment vs being in the moment during the “deed.” MEN this is for you too!

Later in the episode we dive into the normalcy around refractory periods, erectile dysfunction, and whether porn is okay to watch while in a relationship. We are so excited for you all to listen, share, and review! 

Follow Lyndsey here!
