Loose Ends

Two brassy broads trying their best to make sense of life’s nonsense. Call it humorous therapy. Or Irreverent self-help. Learn a little, laugh a little, and leave feeling lighter. We hope.

    Men in Blue: Encounters of Another Kind

    Send us a textCC and Val trade their memorable law enforcement encounter stories this week. Val starts off with a recent exchange that'll put tears in your eyes from laughing, and CC shares a story from the past that might bring tears for a different reason.

    The Lies We Tell

    Send us a textCC and Val take a look at the lies we tell, to ourself, and others. We all do it, but why? What are the prices we pay for them--and the pay-offs we get from them? Telling the truth can be uncomfortable short-term, but long-term it's freeing. Val shares a story and suggests with one bottom-line: trust your gut. CC says: guard your in-to-me-see.

    Powerful Places, Sacred Spaces

    Send us a textCC and Val discuss places that evoke emotion; places like Stonehenge, or cemeteries, where energy can be felt. But, are all "sacred" spaces also "spiritual"? Perhaps connecting to nature, all by itself, without buildings in which to pray (or poop) is spiritual all by itself. But then how do we wind up talking Twin Peaks...?

    Our Favourite Quotes

    Send us a textCC and Val share their favourite quotes - the ones that have inspired, informed or comforted them over the years. CC mostly shares dead people's words, while Val sources strength from musicians. There's tears and laughs in this episode. And remember: you can catch us on YouTube now: https://youtu.be/vDsZbOtbhK8

    Turmoil Ripple Effects

    Send us a textCC and Val continue their reflections on the ripple effects of the recent US election - and then suddenly veer to UFOs and aliens...say wha-a-t?? The fact is that we are surrounded by uncertainty and seek safety and structure during tumultuous times. And many are still struggling with pandemic PTSD, not to mention mask guilt. Val finishes with a particularly good news story, so all is not doom and gloom.

    Post Election Processing

    Send us a textCC and Val share their responses to the results of the U.S. Presidential election. Val gets real, and unexpectedly emotional as she shares her opinion, and CC offers a perspective that might help lift the disappointment: perhaps this is the chrysalis stage in our evolution...? But they still found some funny this week, a pleasant surprise in the face of so much angst.

    "To All the Books We've Loved Before..."

    Send us a textCC and Val trade notes on the books that have impacted them the most over the course of their lives. The ones that altered the way they view themselves, the world and how they fit into it. WE limited to 4 books each, though we could have kept going. Words: They matter.

    Halloween Origins... and Entities...?

    Send us a textCC and Val talk about Halloween this week. Well, Val does most of the talking as she is a witch (a good one) and shares some interesting facts about the origins of what we now celebrate with "trick or treat' and all things spooky. And then she mentions entities, different from demons, and off we go! (Apologies for CC's mike - we fixed it for next week's episode.)
