This episode is about self-advocacy and fierce advocacy for your health. Tait starts out telling her story about a gynecologist trying to prescribe her estrogen without doing proper blood work, claiming she was moving into menopause. After getting another opinion from Dr. Richard Rock, she found out that wasn't the problem at all and she actually had a tumor on her pituitary gland. She explains what would've happened if she hadn't advocated for herself. 

They discuss the difference between advocating on behalf of someone else versus advocating for oneself.  Not everyone is standing up to or questioning doctors and they discuss how you can feel more comfortable doing so. What happens when you're depleted and really sick? 

What does your voice and vocal cords have to do with it? Jenny talks about how to make it easier to share your voice and disrupt the people pleasing status quo. You can take up space and make noise! SING! CHANT! Are you holding things in? Holding things back? This will be good information for you. 

Tait shares her challenges with saying some words and a little on interoception and exteroception and how moving fluidly between the two can be helpful when feeling anxious. 

They also discuss how mindful meditation can lead to apathy and an unhealthy detachment. 

Their funnies include their made up character, Carol Featherington.

In this long awaited episode, Jenny and Tait share the pseudo-science and misinformation around colonics, ayahuasca, homeopathy, "adrenal fatigue," drinking your own urine, "detoxing," lemon water, and alkaline water. 

Is ayahuasca a way to instant enlightenment and an "ego death"? Will your life change by taking "adrenal support" supplements? Do we need to "detox"? Will lemon water help us digest and lose weight? What is homeopathy? Tait explains how you shouldn't stop the search after being told you have "adrenal fatigue" by a naturopath since that's not a real medical diagnosis. Adrenal Deficiency is a true diagnosis. 

Their funnies include Tait's Mom's list of Four Life Lessons and the "witchy" video Jenny made for Tait.

Tait and Jenny share details of their personal stories around their relationship to worth. Tait only existed in the eyes of other people's praise. She also shares how that led to an addiction to alcohol. Jenny felt unworthy of the roof over her head because she felt she didn't measure up to expectations of beauty and fitness she was taught was the most important attribute. That along with being gang raped in seventh grade led to a decades long eating disorder. They share the tools they used, the ones they wish they had, and how their Rebel Human Five Dials approach would've applied to their 20 year old selves. 

Jenny shares the nuts and bolts of how the Five Dials could've worked on her 20 year old self and how it could've updated the operating system that was her brain. They talk through the tools necessary to go from the "mind hell" to feeling ok and connected. 

Five Dials: movement, breath, mantra, eye focus, and non-sleep deep rest.

Who do you spend your time with? They also discuss the effect others can have on your sense of self-worth. 

Their funnies cover Jenny's "hungry dogs hunt best" comment, her practice of acquiring matching outfits for herself and Tait, and Tait's video of her doing her happy scarecrow Hammertime dance. Should they do a photo shoot in their matching outfits?
