    Trusting the Body and Misplaced Rizz

    Welcome back! After a year-long hiatus, Morgan and Annie are back. In this episode we discuss "Serious Steven" and "Tiger Millionaire." We talk about how important it is to trust your body, trust in your body, and embodying your trust. Trust me everybody, this makes sense when you listen. When it comes to Amethyst's secret alter ego, Morgan and Annie really relate to needing a healthy outlet where we we can feel safe to be ourselves. And that's why we made this podcast!

    The Queerest of Love Bubbles

    This is a very long and very gay episode. In this episode, Morgan and Annie focus in on the episode, "Bubble Buddies," in which Steven bears his soul. And boy do we bear ours! Topics include: queer love bubbles, community values, and individuation in our social environments. This is an episode that celebrates the nuances that make us unique, and the blessings and challenges that come with them. (originally released 2022)

    The Disillusionment of Petey

    We're all Petey on the horsey at Funland. In this episode, Morgan and Annie discuss the episodes "Frybo" and "Cat Fingers." Petey gives us a reality check about what it means to go to work every day, and Steven reminds us that sometimes the best jobs are the ones we do because we couldn't sleep at night if we didn't. This conversation runs the gamut from purpose, queer family models, and unconditional love. (originally released 2022)

    Steven Fails and We Feel

    We just wanna feel understood! In this episode Morgan and Annie talk about "Cheese Burger Backpack" and "Together Breakfast". They see themselves in Steven's flawed moments, talk about their childhoods, and recognize Pearl as a mom. The concept of failing forward is introduced and they are momentarily healed by witnessing Steven learn from his mistakes.

    Making Hot Dogs out of Pork Chops

    We want the fries, we got the fries. In this episode Morgan and Annie discuss the episode, "Laser Light Canon;" it's 5 percent plot analysis and 95 percent hyper-fixation on fry bits as a metaphor for our undiagnosed learning differences. Once again, Rebecca Sugar embraces a world view where no one should be discounted too soon, as evidenced by Greg's holding the lock and key to unleashing the power of the laser light canon.

    The Magic Belly Button

    It's giving therapy. Meet your host, Morgan (she/they) and your co-host, Annie (she/they), both of whom have been on that healing journey for just about forever. In this episode we recap the Steven Universe pilot, "Gem Glow." We meet the crystal gems, and our main character, the lovable, vulnerable demi-gem, Steven. We have no idea how this podcast is going to turn out in the long-run, but for right now, we're here discussing life, identity, trauma, healing, food, and everything in between, all while trying to be as vulnerable and full of love as Steven and his gem family. CW: This episode contains conversation about food, disordered eating, weight, and body image. (originally released 2022)
