If your social environment hasn't set you up for college, you've probably heard a million reasons why it's not a good idea for you--at least for right now. In this episode we break down these scripts to show how they worked as diversionary tactics and how they contrast with what we have found to be true.

What if the very teachings that promise to bring you love and belong are the same ones that will put you in the greatest dangers? Join us as we explore Tia Leving's phenomenal book, "Well-Trained Wife," and the many parts that resonate with us. We discuss the tight grip of rigid faith traditions and societal expectations, and how liberating it can be to seize control of our own destinies. From personal anecdotes to reflections on our younger selves, this episode is packed with heartfelt dialogue about breaking free and growing stronger, with a gentle reminder to brace for heavy content around various forms of abuse.

Have you ever been overwhelmed by life circumstances beyond your control and wondered what good therapy could do? Maybe you've tried everything and concluded there's nothing to be done so why talk about it? We've been there too! Today we're unpacking those feelings and dishing about the good, bad, and the ugly of our own experiences with therapy. We discuss qualities we look for in a therapist as well as the value of reflecting on our emotional health and what important messages might be embedded in our deepest, darkest emotions.

In this episode, Rebecca and Naomi discuss the fraught issue of fashion and personal style after growing up in plain culture where your clothes not only broadcast your church identity and social status but also are interpreted as indicators of your spiritual health and family cohesiveness. Rebecca and Naomi don't tell you what to wear, but they do suggest some ways to reframe familiar narratives about modesty and guilt that have helped them feel less judgmental and more accepting of themselves and others.
