    Sins of the Flesh (Sexual Shame)

    "Shaming is one of the deepest tools of imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy because shame produces trauma and trauma often produces paralysis." - Bell Hooks. In this episode, Helen walks us through topics surrounding sexual shame and how that plays a role in our relationship with ourselves and others.

    Specials, racism and violence towards children

    This episode is heavy yet hilarious. Tw: racism, physical violence, brief mentions of sexual assault, really everything bad comes up in this episode. Helen recounts horrible racist incidents that were normalized throughout Catholic school. Then, Helen and Eilish recount stories of crazed co-curricular teachers, two of which were violent towards students with no repercussions. If you make it until the very end, there's a huge plot twist. Audio effects from Pixabay.
