    Let's Talk about Sex(ual Education)! In This Episode: Welcome back Kin! In this episode we get into the nitty gritty - what did we really learn about sex growing up? We also talk about being a 30 year old teen mom, Planned Parenthood, and the imprinting myth!

    Welcome Kin!

    WELCOME KIN!!! In This Episode: We're Martissa and Chanel — cousins, best friends, and (as of today) podcast co-hosts. In our first episode, we talk about why we made this show, get into some garden drama (a squirrel, a White Castle burger, and a very janky shade situation), and close out with our first hot takes — on dishwashers and the natural hair movement — which, fair warning, might be inflammatory.
