    type a vs type b personalities, corn culture impacts, childhood trauma & being stuck in between | episode 40

    type a vs type b personalities, corn culture impacts, childhood trauma & being stuck in between | episode 40 We went to see Hot Department perform at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and it sparked a conversation about nudity in our conservative society and the impacts of corn culture on how we view bodies and intimacy. Erica opens up about some childhood trauma she's been working through, and following up on last week's pentacles revelation, she talks about how her parents tried to stamp the kooky creative side out of her. It's a vulnerable look at what happens when the parts of you that make you different are treated like something to fix. Meg talks about being stuck in an in-between phase in her life right now and how she's coping with that uncertainty. Not where she was, not yet where she's going, just existing in the uncomfortable middle. We also dive into type A and type B personalities, how they show up in our lives and balancing being a go-getter with positive thinking and managing stress levels. An honest chat between best friends about creativity, trauma, societal expectations, and what it feels like when you're between versions of yourself. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a female friendship podcast with honest chats about mental health and life, hosted by Erica and Megan. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com chapters: 00:00 intro 00:23 nudity and corn culture 14:07 figuring out your orientation 20:08 erica’s childhood breakthrough 29:43 suppressing parts of yourself 41:41 meg’s in-between phase 46:52 type a and type b personalities 51:51 manifestation and mental health 1:02:58 outro

    revelations about ourselves: strong people cry, emotional regulation & the shock of being a lover girl | fingers crossed ep. 39

    This episode is all about revelations we've had about ourselves and each other, the things that genuinely surprise us even after knowing each other for years. Meg doesn't cry, so the fact that Erica cries almost daily (classic Pisces energy) is something she can't wrap her brain around. Especially because Erica presents as such a strong person outwardly, but we get into how strong people can also be deeply sensitive. We unpack the false binary between strength and emotion, and why we're taught those two things can't coexist. Meg opens up about how she has difficulty being around people when she's in a bad mood and how that impacts herself and others. She's also shocked that she can actually support herself as a freelancer, something she never thought was possible. Erica, who has been ambitious since birth, is genuinely surprised to realise she's actually a lover girl at her core. It's vulnerable, revealing, and the kind of conversation that makes you question who you think you are vs who you actually are. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com Follow us: @fingerscrossedthepodcast @fakewitcherica @megstierney chapters: 00:00 intro 00:23 meg shocked that erica cries so much 10:51 eye makeup tangent 12:00 people can’t be strong and sensitive 17:57 guilt vs shame societies 18:53 meg doesn’t cry 26:32 meg’s moods and emotional regulation 41:04 meg is shocked she’s self-sufficient  42:56 erica’s shocked she’s a lover girl 1:00:31 outro

    red flags, green flags, second chances & the most important trait in a partner | fingers crossed ep. 38

    We start by talking about what it's like to deal with negativity after content goes viral, then get into a vulnerable conversation about not saying "I love you" to your partner and what that actually means. There's a quick political update on Australia before we dive into gnosticism, schooling under capitalism, and then spend most of the episode unpacking relationships. We go through our red flags, our green flags, whether we believe in second chances, and what the most and least important traits in a partner actually are. We also talk about our superpowers, the things we bring to relationships and friendships that make us who we are. It's honest, reflective, and the kind of conversation that makes you think about your own patterns and what you're actually looking for. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com Follow us: @fingerscrossedthepodcast @fakewitcherica @megstierney chapters: 00:00 intro 03:30 dealing with negativity online 07:21 not saying i love you to partner 16:49 political update on australia 26:32 gnosticism intro 29:51 schooling under capitalism 32:53 our red flags 44:43 our green flags 47:47 second chances 54:51 most important trait in a partner 59:12 least important trait in a partner 01:00:55 our superpowers 01:10:53 outro

    anwar white's catching print, sacred intimacy, demisexuality & embracing your sexuality | fingers crossed ep. 37

    Erica kicks off the episode with some genuinely good luck stories because her fortune has finally turned around. Then we pivot into a big, honest conversation about intimacy and desire that was sparked by Anwar White's recent viral video on "catching print." We talk about how sexuality has been shaped in the West, the complete failure of sex education to teach us anything meaningful, and the spiritual element of intimacy that no one talks about. We discuss building real connection, women with high libidos, demisexuality and how it shows up differently for everyone, and the ways neurodivergence and trauma intersect with desire. It's about getting in touch with your sexuality, understanding what you actually want, and unlearning all the stuff that's kept you disconnected from yourself. We wrap up with a quick chat about extroversion vs introversion and why socialising matters. Funny that we played golf in the morning and ended up having one of our most important conversations about intimacy by the afternoon. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com Follow us: @fingerscrossedthepodcast @fakewitcherica @megstierney chapters: 00:00 intro 02:26 erica's good luck stories 12:24 hormones and pcos 15:55 anwar white and catching print 20:37 intimacy in the west 23:07 what sex education missed 30:58 sacred intimacy and spirituality 34:42 the importance of connection 37:28 women with high libidos 39:07 demisexuality 44:01 getting in touch with your desire 47:25 erica future sociologist? 49:44 extroversion/introversion and socialising 56:33 outro

    bts returns with arirang, meg unpacks constant comparison & internalised tall poppy syndrome | fingers crossed ep. 36

    BTS is officially back after nearly four years, and we're breaking down their new album Arirang and the new Swim music video starring Lili Reinhart. Erica’s a longtime fan and Meg might be a new convert (potentially). Then we shift gears into something much more personal as Meg opens up about her recent therapy session where she unpacked how she constantly compares herself to others, her thoughts on changing career paths and life direction, and a realisation that's been sitting with her for years: she's always felt bad for trying. We get into internalised tall poppy syndrome, the fear of standing out or aiming too high, and what it actually takes to push past that. We also touch on enneagram types, marketing thoughts, a potential back scratch business idea, and why being ambitious feels so uncomfortable sometimes. A mix of pop culture excitement and deeply vulnerable self reflection. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com Follow us: @fingerscrossedthepodcast @fakewitcherica @megstierney chapters: 00:00 intro 00:49 BTS new album 08:20 meg always comparing herself to others 22:03 enneagram chat 24:04 marketing thoughts 26:15 meg always felt bad for trying 33:13 meg’s life direction 36:57 back scratch business 43:25 xerf in australia 44:31 outro

    should i text my ex? meg actually cried & navigating trauma with the person who traumatised you | fingers crossed ep. 35

    Erica's been really emotional lately. She went to Linkin Park and we talk about some of the best concerts we've ever been to, the ones that stay with you. Then things get heavier: Erica's missing her ex and seriously considering reaching out. Meg cried, which almost never happens, and opens up about the impact men have had on her and why emotions feel so hard to access sometimes. We also touch on jealousy between friends and what that actually reveals about us. Erica had a big fight with her mum. Her mum was abusive when she was young, and while they've worked hard to stabilize their relationship, sometimes things still go off the rails. It's an honest conversation about what it's like to navigate trauma with someone who is traumatized themselves and yet traumatized you. How do you repair something that broken? And is it even possible? A vulnerable, messy, real episode about emotions, relationships, and the complicated people we can't quite let go of. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com Follow us: @fingerscrossedthepodcast @fakewitcherica @megstierney chapters: 00:00 intro 01:20 linkin park and concerts discussion 11:53 jealousy between friends 24:54 erica misses pentacles 34:34 meg cried! 42:52 erica had a fight with her mum 49:39 outro

    the state of the world, interstellar & our honest thoughts on dying | fingers crossed ep. 34

    We're talking about the state of the world as tensions escalate and the possibility of World War 3 feels less abstract than it used to. We put on our tin foil hats to discuss some conspiracy theories around what's actually happening, then pivot to Erica finally watching Interstellar and what it made her feel about time, space, and existence. The conversation gets heavier as we talk openly about mortality. Meg reflects on not feeling particularly attached to life, while Erica realizes how much she wants to stay. It's an honest, vulnerable discussion about what it means to want to live or not, and why those feelings exist. We also get into the practicalities of our futures: Erica's indoor job will likely be automated, Meg's outdoor job is destroying her hands with carpal tunnel and tendonitis, so what do we actually do next? We explore alternative career paths, capitalism's role in all of this, and what happens when the work we do stops being sustainable. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com Follow us: @fingerscrossedthepodcast @fakewitcherica @megstierney chapters: 00:00 intro  03:21 the state of the world 16:07 tin foil hat time 21:00 thoughts on interstellar 24:08 back to the state of the world 28:28 meg brief tangent 29:01 processing trauma 31:28 meg remission thoughts 33:44 meg capitalism rant 34:58 thoughts on mortality 42:49 thoughts on changing careers 54:15 outro

    Shamanic Healing and Myofascial Therapy for MCAS, Cosmetic Surgery Talk & Unpacking Negative Beliefs | Fingers Crossed Ep. 33

    Erica wraps up her recent gig before diving into how she spent her birthday: four back to back healing appointments. She saw a shaman to work on her MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome), visited a myofascial specialist for nervous system healing that also impacts mast cells, got a skin tightening treatment and had honest conversations about cosmetic surgery options. We get into what she's genuinely wishing for in the year ahead. Megan has been doing some serious self reflection lately and opens up about the underlying negative beliefs she's been carrying, where they came from, and what it actually looks like to try to heal them. It's vulnerable, honest and the kind of conversation that makes you question what stories you've been telling yourself. We also touch on technofeudalism, some positive feedback from a friend/fan and why alternative healing methods keep pulling us in. 🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan. 📩 email us your thoughts: fingerscrossedthepodcast@gmail.com Follow us: @fingerscrossedthepodcast @fakewitcherica @megstierney chapters: 00:00 intro (erica’s gig review) 04:33 good feedback 09:31 erica visits shaman  20:48 skin chat including plastic surgery 28:34 myofascial specialist 37:05 erica birthday wishes 42:26 technofeudalism chat 45:00 meg underlying negative beliefs 57:33 meg healing thoughts 01:05:09 outro
