March 17 Girls Hooking Up With Girls
What actually counts as sexy… and what’s just awkward?
In this episode, Alix & Kayla dive into a spicy (and very funny) conversation about lesbian sex, flirting, and the little moments that can either turn up the heat or completely ruin the vibe.
From being pushed against the fridge to intense eye contact, belt-loop pulling, accidental headbutts, and the infamous phrase “good girl,” they unpack the tiny details that make intimacy work—or make you burst out laughing mid-makeout.
Along the way, they also talk about how humor plays a role in relationships, the awkward reality of real-life intimacy versus movie moments, and why some “sexy” tropes just don’t translate in real life.
It’s chaotic, honest, and full of the kind of conversations you only hear between married lesbians who have no filter.

March 12 WLW Couple Reacts To Heated Rivalry
There’s one very gay show everyone seems to be talking about right now… so naturally, Alix & Kayla haven’t watched it.
In this quickie episode, they dive into the internet’s latest obsession — “Heated Rivalry.” From the extremely passionate fan reactions to the very explicit scenes circulating on social media, the show has taken over queer corners of the internet. The only problem? Kayla has a hard time watching shows where the main characters are men.
The conversation turns into a hilarious exploration of queer media consumption: why some lesbians love watching gay male storylines, why others struggle to connect with them, and how attraction (or lack of it) affects the way we watch TV. They also talk about supporting queer content even when it’s not exactly your flavor, the differences between lesbian and gay male media, and the constant pressure to show up for representation so these shows keep getting made.
It’s a chaotic, funny, and very honest chat about queer TV, internet discourse, and the complicated ways we relate to representation on screen.

March 10 Bi Girls With Husbands
Alix & Kayla dive into one of the most requested topics from the Sister Wives community: the experience of bi women in relationships with male partners. After asking their audience for stories and questions, they unpack everything from “allowed cheating” dynamics and open relationships to the emotional reality of choosing monogamy when you’re attracted to more than one gender.
The conversation explores the complicated feelings that can come up in long-term relationships—like grieving parts of your identity, navigating attraction to others, and figuring out what honesty actually looks like in a committed partnership. They also discuss common assumptions people have about bisexual women, including threesomes, monogamy, and whether partners feel threatened by same-sex attraction.
Through listener submissions and personal experiences, Alix & Kayla break down the nuances of bisexual identity, relationships, and the messy gray areas that rarely get talked about.

March 05 Becca Moore & Zoe Boyd DM Drama
What’s worse: sending a cringe DM… or fumbling someone you already married in your head?

In this Quickie episode, Alix & Kayla break down the viral DM moment between Becca Moore and Zoe Boyd that divided the internet. When a flirty (but arguably unhinged) cat-related message landed in Becca’s inbox, the internet split into teams: Was it just a joke? Was it too sexual too fast? Or did both of them fumble the bag?

From DM etiquette and Gen Z flirting to “lines,” thirst traps, and how to actually message someone you’re interested in, the girls unpack what works, what absolutely does not, and Alix shares her tried-and-true three-step strategy for sliding into someone’s DMs successfully.

It’s funny, chaotic, and surprisingly educational.

So… who fumbled? And what’s the best DM you’ve ever received?

Let us know, sister wives.

March 03 Understanding Detransition: Real Experiences from Queer and Trans Voices
In this episode, Alix & Kayla explore stories from people who have transitioned and later detransitioned, unpacking the deeply personal, emotional, and complex experiences behind those journeys. From informed consent and puberty to trauma, social influence, and the evolving language around gender identity, they discuss how identity formation can shift over time—and why holding space for nuance matters.
Through anonymous community stories and open conversation, they reflect on how gender, sexuality, and self-perception intersect with mental health, relationships, and the pressure to “figure it out” too quickly.
This is a compassionate, layered conversation about gender identity, detransition stories, queer community belonging, and the reality that self-discovery isn’t always linear.

February 26 Cat Missal is Gay & Tell Me Lies Finale Reaction
Did the Tell Me Lies finale actually deliver… or are we all just emotionally attached to chaos?
In this quickie episode, Alix & Kayla break down the Tell Me Lies finale—spoilers included—and unpack everything from toxic relationship dynamics to unresolved plotlines and the very real lesbian internet crossover that somehow always leads back to the same tiny queer universe.
From casting coincidences and queer Hollywood connections to the psychology behind Stephen and Lucy’s relationship, they dive into what worked, what didn’t, and the storylines they wish we’d gotten another season to explore.
This is a fun, chaotic pop culture recap about messy relationships, queer internet lore, TV finales, and why the lesbian social graph is somehow only three degrees wide.

February 24 WLW Travel: What It’s Really Like Traveling the World as a Married Lesbian Couple
Why does queer dating sometimes feel like relearning everything from scratch?
In this episode, Alix & Kayla talk about the strange, funny, and sometimes emotional reality of navigating attraction, identity, and dating after stepping outside heteronormative expectations. From questioning what “counts” as chemistry to unpacking the pressure to label experiences too quickly, they explore how queer relationships often challenge the scripts we grew up with—and why that uncertainty can actually be freeing.
This conversation is a relatable look at queer curiosity, identity shifts, and the messy, honest process of figuring out what feels right instead of what feels expected.

February 17 OMG…My First Time Hooking Up With Another Woman
What is it actually like the first time you’re with a woman?

In this episode, Alix & Kayla talk about first times with girls — the magical ones, the awkward ones, the confusing ones, and the ones that quietly change everything. Drawing from listener stories, polls, and their own experiences, they explore what it means when desire finally makes sense, why some first times feel life-changing and others feel messy, and how fear, alcohol, shame, curiosity, and timing all shape our queer awakenings.

From being a “ ‘straight’ girl” at a gay bar to sober sex, baby gay panic, internalized homophobia, and the relief of realizing you’re not broken — just queer and nervous — this conversation is honest, funny, and deeply relatable.

Whether your first time was magical, chaotic, or still hasn’t happened yet, this episode is for anyone navigating queerness, curiosity, and the moments that quietly rewrite your story.

February 10 The Body Image Episode: Millennial Women, Diet Culture & Gender Expression
What does body image look like when you’re queer, partnered, confident… and still unlearning everything you were taught?
In this episode, Alix & Kayla get deeply honest about body image, desire, and self-perception inside queer relationships. They talk about comparing yourself to your past body, feeling pressure to look “gay enough,” navigating femme and masc expectations, and how confidence, strength, and self-expression shape attraction far more than size or shape.
From almond moms and Gen Z style anxiety to masculinity, femininity, fitness, sex, and learning how to dress—and live—for yourself, this conversation explores what it really means to feel at home in your body when the rules you grew up with no longer apply.
This is a candid, funny, and thoughtful episode about queer identity, lesbian relationships, body neutrality, confidence, and the slow, imperfect work of decentering the gaze and choosing yourself.
