  • Intuitive Eating - ADHD Edition
    May 27 2024

    In 2022, we did an episode about Intuitive Eating (it's good and you should definitely listen to it). But now that we have our ADHD diagnosis, we're learning more about our own experiences with food and trusting your body (truly, even just listening to it!) so join us this week as we extol the virtues of pre-cut veggies and instant ramen.

  • Sephora Kids
    May 7 2024

    If you haven't seen this trend pop up on your social feeds lately, you may have heard or read about it elsewhere. Join us as we talk about the social media trend of little kids being not only obsessed with skincare, but posting about it at length online. Jenny walks us through exactly is going on and how it connects back to a similar issue in the 90s. Digressions include our own experiences with our kids and technology access and our own personal skincare issues.

  • Purity Culture & The Wellness World (Pt 2)
    Apr 22 2024

    *Note from Annika: my mic was having issues in this episode (mainly that I didn't connect it properly, whoops) and so apologies that the sound is a little off for this week! Pretty sure I'll manage to not have it happen again, but if you think it sounds off... that's because it does!*


    While this week's episode is technically a part 2, you definitely don't need to have listened to part 1 before you listen to this episode (it is good! But not necessary).

    This week, we make the connections between where purity culture and the wellness world intersect and how one has really impacted and continues to shape the other. Digressions include the history of the anti-abortion movement in the USA and the organized evangelical movement (spoiler - it's new and until well into the 70s had nothing to do with each other - yes, long after Roe v Wade!)
