    Dec 26 2024

    Tell us what you thought about the episode!

    In this episode, we reflect on the powerful lessons 2024 taught us. We share how we’ve learned to keep our own cups full so we can show up for others, to know our worth and refuse to let anyone define who we are. We also talk about how we’ve protected our peace, prioritized our health, and taken steps to manifest our dream lives.

    To top it all off, this is the last episode of Season 2 and we get sappy and emo reminiscing on just how far we've come in the two years of our podcast journey. We hope you enjoy this heartfelt conversation about the growth, resilience, and empowerment we’ve experienced this year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    In this episode, we dive into the dark side of endless scrolling and how social media tricks us into feeling more connected than we really are.

We share tips for setting boundaries, using time limits, and even deleting the app entirely (even for just a week at a time). It’s time to take control—it's time to break up with doom scrolling!

  • Toxic & Abusive Relationships: Let's Talk About It
    Aug 24 2024

    Tell us what you thought about the episode!

    The novel It Ends With Us and its new movie adaptation have sparked a huge online conversation about domestic violence, and we're here to dive deeper into this important topic.

    In this episode, we dive deep into toxic relationships, focusing on the often misunderstood and overlooked signs of abuse and coercive control. Coercive control is a subtle yet pervasive form of domestic abuse that goes beyond physical violence, involving manipulation, intimidation, and psychological tactics to dominate and control a partner. We discuss how to recognize the warning signs of toxic relationships and provide practical advice on how to safely exit. Tune in to learn how to identify the signs, protect yourself or a loved one, and take the first steps toward freedom and healing.

    Tell us what you thought about the episode!

    Welcome to Yap City. Population: your last two brain cells, Sophia and Allie. This episode is a true one-take. No edits... just us unloading our brains on the mic.

    We debrief Love Island USA and the chokehold it had on us and the rest of the world. Don't be shy, we know you ate it up too. Then, the conversation takes a sharp left as we unpack our experience attending a Christian church for the first time. Never thought we'd be writing an episode description on Love Island and religion, but here we are. We open up more about how religion played a part in our pasts and where we're at in our journey with spirituality in this current stage of life. We hope you enjoy this off-the-cuff chat!
