    Singledom

    Singledom

    How does one 'be single'? It can look a million different ways, and about everyone feels like they are doing it wrong. Do you need to play the numbers game with the modern dating landscape being so heavily dependent on apps, or do you focus on a strict list of what is really important to you? Are you thriving with flying solo and plan to stay that way? Figuring all of this out can be absolutely exhausting and overwhelming. Join LJ and Di as they talk through a fabulous movie with exactl...

    Derailed: Twilight Saga

    Have you ever moved to a new small town in the northwest as an awkward teenager to live with your mustachio’s zaddy and accidentally fell in love with a sparkly skinned killer? Perhaps you get sucked into the seedy underground of the undead and have numerous enemies of the sparkly skinned stone people attempt to kill you? And maybe you find out you're pregnant with some half human half sparkly killer baby and repulsed by the delicious smell of fresh fried chicken? Yeah, neither has the Chick ...

    Identity Crisis

    Identity Crisis

    Have you ever stuck to something much longer than it actually served you simply because you'd been doing it so long that you felt like you were expected to continue? LJ and Di have. Why do we, as people, do this? Why do we continue to force ourselves to get up and maintain what we think people expect of us long after it isn't fun anymore? Join LJ and Di as they talk through the movie of the year, Barbie. Barbie and Ken both struggle through their respective identity crises, just like LJ and D...

    Wanderlust

    Have you ever gotten the urge to pack a bag, head to the airport, and catch the next flight out of your city for some self-care? LJ and Di have too. Are you also unable to do so because of work, bills, responsibilities, and other stupid things? Samesies. Join LJ and Di as they talk through their bucket list travel locations and some big trips they will take this year while they rewatch a major comfort movie, Eat Pray Love. Bonus points if you can guess who the planner is and who the "I'm pack...

    Mom Pressure

    Mom Pressure

    Lj and Di are child-free by choice; the only mom pressure they feel comes from fur babies. For this episode, we tagged in two moms of actual humans to talk about the pressure they put on themselves and the pressure that society piles on them as well. If you are a mom who has dealt with juggling work, parenting, kids' sports schedules, the judgment of stay-at-home moms, or literally anyone on the internet, this one is for you. Also, in case you need to hear it...you're doing your best, a...

    Communicating With Your Partner

    Communicating With Your Partner

    Per LJ, communicating with your partner takes only two words: Microsoft PowerPoint. In other news, no one should take relationship advice from LJ unless they thrive in chaos and want to invest in a very good therapist and psychiatrist team. Communicating with a partner can be tough, any way you slice it. Do you share every single thought and worry with them, or do you pick and choose what you share? Do you hide things to avoid fights, or bear it all and use it as a growth opportunity? Join LJ...

Must!!

Absolutely love listening. I love the fact that the topics relate to movies and breaks down the ridiculous standards movies set and just reflect on the movie in general. I’ve laughed hard during these podcast but have also held back tears during the podcast. It’s good. It’s like having a virtual girl chat!! Just listen to it!

Genuine, Open Conversations

This podcast is a must-listen for anyone who wants real, honest conversations surrounding how women are portrayed in the media. Their conversations include statistics and data (because science is real!) to guide the conversation. I love listening to these two; they make me feel so comfortable about thinking about “taboo” topics!

This podcast with LJ and Di is a must have. I love how m they discuss films and compare the experiences at the end. I love hearing the drink choices. I love hearing them laugh and have fun. Most importantly I love the topics. Some light hearted, some pretty heavy. Over all... you’ll love it. Add it to your playlist.
