    a conversation about law and order: svu

    This week on Little Miss Podcast, we're diving into Law & Order: SVU—our favorite comfort show despite its incredibly dark subject matter. We're talking about our all-time favorite characters, Elliot Stabler and Rafael Barba, what makes them so compelling, and the episodes that made us love them. We also discuss why so many women find Stabler's fierce protectiveness so satisfying, including why his desire to put a sex offender's head through a wall (even if he rarely actually does) can feel strangely comforting in a world where justice often falls short. We also break down some of our favorite episodes, explore why women are so fascinated by true crime, and discuss why Season 17 marked a turning point for SVU and never quite recaptured the magic of its earlier years. If you've ever yelled at your TV during an interrogation, cried over an SVU courtroom scene, or firmly believe Barba is the greatest ADA to ever do it, this episode is for you.

    a conversation about dating again after a breakup

    In this week's episode of Little Miss Podcast, I'm talking about getting back into the dating world—and all the overthinking that comes with it. From decision paralysis over who to date (or whether to date at all) to overanalyzing every possible outcome, I'm unpacking what it feels like to put yourself back out there after a relationship. Along the way, I touch on the random thoughts that seem to pop up when you're dating again... like, wait... do I even want kids? But that's just one small part of a much bigger conversation. I'm also reflecting on my past relationships with a perspective I didn't have before. I've found myself having a lot more empathy for most of my exes... except for one. Some things never change. If you've ever found yourself stuck between wanting connection and overthinking every decision, this one's for you.

    a conversation about the unique aspects of our childhood

    In this episode, we dive into the unconventional childhood my sisters and I shared—one shaped by unschooling, creativity, and an environment where curiosity was trusted more than authority. We talk about learning outside the classroom, building our own interests from the ground up, and growing up in a home that encouraged exploration, independence, and self-direction. We also explore some of the less typical aspects of our upbringing, including a family culture where alcohol wasn't treated as taboo or mysterious. Rather than strict prohibition, openness and conversation shaped our understanding of it from an early age. Looking back as adults, we reflect on what this unconventional childhood gave us, what challenges came with it, and how it continues to influence the way we think, create, and move through the world today. Whether you're curious about alternative education, family culture, or the many ways a childhood can be different from the norm, this conversation offers a candid look at growing up outside the traditional script. #homeschooled #homeschool

    a conversation about the progressive values of Star Trek pt.2

    For nearly sixty years, Star Trek has used science fiction to explore some of humanity's most difficult moral and political questions. In this episode, we examine the franchise's long history of progressive storytelling and the ways it challenged audiences long before many of these issues entered mainstream conversation.We begin with Star Trek: The Original Series and its treatment of eugenics through the character of Khan Noonien Singh. Decades before genetic engineering became a major public debate, the series warned about the dangers of creating a genetically "superior" class of humans and the authoritarian impulses that can emerge from ideas of biological perfection.Next, we look at one of the franchise's lesser-known but remarkably bold stories: a 1960s episode that tackled birth control, reproductive autonomy, and the consequences of restricting access to contraception. At a time when such topics were controversial on American television, Star Trek used an alien society to raise questions that remain relevant today.Finally, we turn to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where the writers made some of the franchise's most direct references to the Holocaust. Through episodes exploring occupation, resistance, collaboration, war crimes, and genocide, DS9 drew clear parallels between the experiences of the Bajorans under Cardassian rule and some of the darkest chapters of twentieth-century history.From genetic supremacy to reproductive rights to historical memory, Star Trek has consistently asked audiences to confront difficult ethical questions while imagining a more just future. Join us as we explore how the franchise's progressive values have shaped its stories—and why those stories continue to resonate today.

    a conversation about the worst criminal minds episodes

    n this episode of Little Miss, Taylor and I are diving into the worst episodes of Criminal Minds — the ones that made us cringe, rage, or seriously question the BAU. We talk about the controversy surrounding “Strange Fruit,” Rossi’s shocking racism confession, and why that episode completely missed the mark for us. We also get into why every episode directed by Matthew Gray Gubler somehow ends up being nightmare fuel, from unsettling visuals to storylines we still haven’t recovered from. Plus, we discuss why Luke Alvarez will never replace Derek Morgan, the unsubs we can’t stand, our least favorite characters, and the episodes we always skip on rewatches. If you’ve ever yelled at your TV during Criminal Minds, this episode is for you. Don’t forget to like, comment your least favorite episode, and subscribe to Little Miss for more chaotic TV deep dives, hot takes, and pop culture conversations.

    a conversation about my prescription medication journey

    Welcome back to Little Miss, I'm happy you're here. Today I'm getting vulnerable about mental health and my personal prescription medication journey. I decided to see a psychiatrist about six years ago and have been really thinking about my stance on medication since getting on a mood stabilizer myself. When should someone decide to see a psychiatrist ? When does our symptoms of mental illness really begin- as an adult or in our childhood? And does having a mental illness diagnosis mean you are less than others? Thank you for listening 3
