  • Episode 7: If you don't reflect, you won't get wet!

    Have you tried abstinence? Abstinence is often joked about, ridiculed, and seen as a challenge-for participants and those who are trying to date them. Amber and Michelle chat about their journeys with abstaining from having sex including reasons for abstaining, and benefits of locking it up. Listen and then let us know if you've tried it, are currently abstaining, or maybe you are currently dating someone who wants to give other avenues of intimacy a try.

  • Meet The Council: V-Day Episode
    If we’re being transparent, life has kept us pretty busy and our episodes are a little late. But this episode is a treat as it introduces you to “The Council”. You might not call your crew by this name, but you know who they are. The Council is your voice of reason, your online shopping group, your virtual huggers and life cheerleaders in different area codes. Even hyper-independent women, have someone or 4 to call on for advice. Enjoy more cackling as we sat down and connected from DFW to San Diego, and discussed Valentines Day and more. Let us know if you want to hear more from our guest hosts, Renee and Krista!
