#157 Convincingly Faking It feat. FUTILITY
This time last year, Lauren was in treatment and Christina was on the verge of a breakdown. Were we just going through the motions? Is there even a point? We’ll let you decide.
Tangents include cocaine, asking for help, malicious burritos, letting people surprise you, and the meaning behind Lauren’s Instagram handle. Content warning for eating disorders, addiction, and suicidal ideation.

#156 The Point Is F*ckin feat. j'naii
We face our fears and talk about sex on the podcast with our friend j’naii. Nobody had any fun and we totally didn’t laugh at inappropriate moments. Topics include purity culture, masturbation, sex and eating disorders, shame, projection, and more that Christina can’t remember.
CONTENT WARNING: This episode mentions sexual assault, including assault on a child. We don’t dwell on it long and avoid details.

#155 Showing Up with Shame
We talk about shame and try not to spiral on air. Topics include our shame origins, redeeming qualities of guilt, sexual shame, getting easily embarrassed in public, and how one comment can change everything. Enjoy!

#154 This Is Where I Leave You
We watched a movie about family dysfunction and it was very uncomfortable. Side topics include Rush Limbaugh, body modification, getting cheated on, and what to buy your mother as a wedding present. Enjoy! We'll be back next week with our usual traumatic content.

#153 After You, Hell Should Be Easy
Lauren shares a vulnerable piece of writing from her past, which opens the door to a conversation neither of us really want to have. Major content warning for eating disorders, specifically laxative abuse, binging, and overexercise. Take care of yourselves, friends.
