This was recorded a few days after the war in Iran started; we know the number of lives lost has increased. This episode opens with a moment of silence honoring the soldiers killed in Iran, including a close friend of Maggie’s husband. From there, we take a grounded look at the political events that led to the current war and why global tensions feel so high right now. We explore the mental‑health impact of living through conflict, how trauma shows up in the body, how fear narrows our window of tolerance, and why regulation becomes harder under threat. Finally, we talk about what it means to prepare as a community, support one another, and stay connected in a time of uncertainty.

Trigger Warning

Heyyy Ladies….this one’s for you!

In all seriousness, in this episode, we dig into everyday realities of sexism and how it shows up in every aspect of our lives, not just sports or the news. We explore the Olympic headlines and comments made about the women’s hockey team, and how sexism is not just a collection of isolated incidents but a cultural system that shapes expectations, behavior, and identity. We share personal stories and honest reflection, and the way these experiences intersect with family dynamics, faith, and the messages we were raised with. Amid the frustration of being a woman, we highlight the empowerment that comes from naming these experiences and reclaiming our voice! We want to honor women and their experiences, their anger, and their power within them to lift them and amplify our voices!

In this episode, we explore why political conversations feel so personal, so explosive, and so deeply tied to who we are. Politics has shifted from policy debates to something that touches identity, morality, childhood conditioning, and our sense of safety. We unpack how current events echo old wounds, why certain topics trigger intense emotional and physiological reactions, and how fear-based messaging keeps people in a constant state of threat. We get into faith, and how that has influenced and contradicted our views and reshaped our values, but don’t worry, this episode is not all doom and gloom. We will also talk about how empowering it is to strengthen our values so we can face these conversations with clarity and understanding of who we are amid insane politics.
