2 bitches splainin' to the world about feminism, politics, astrology, some woo woo, and some fun. (There are some previous incarnations of this and other radio shows in the older episodes, but they're all awesome!)
Kelly & Smarty Pants Lisa discuss Gay Pride, Lisa's coming out stories, and how to be a good bitch and a good ally.
My badass friend Erin Carere from “The School for Heroines” joins us in the Blanket Fort for a super juiced feminine power hour! We discuss soul mates and twin flames and some other stuff
Questioning the American dream With Smarty Pants Lisa
Some chakras get more attention than others. The 3rd is an unsung hero. So Jay and Kelly have a philosophical chat about the Solar Plexus
In light of the recent (outrageous) violence against Asian Americans, Kelly and Lisa discuss some history of Asian Americans, including some from her own family (hint: she's part Asian!)
For Women's Herstory Month, Kelly and Lisa present some mostly unsung badass women who did cool shit.
in this ep, Kelly goes over and breaks down some relationship labels, why you don't really need them, and what's really important in any relationship
Kelly is joined by Katie Weaver to discuss the politics of fatness, fat shaming, fat discrimination, and the super shady diet industry!
the astrological and mythological lowdown on the dark goddess, Eris - a badass with a bad rap. She is possibly one of the best archetypes for modern feminism
Katie Weaver and I came up with 100 ways you can feel better right now with practically no expense. (This is also a fantastic demonstration of live radio with all its surprises.)
After a deep dive into the psychology and supernatural creepiness of serial killers with Raven on her show, we did a part 2 on my show looking just at the astrological charts of 4 or so famous serial killers. The chart patterns and "formulas" are fascinating. You thought Scorpios were creepy? Nope, think again.
Crisann Morgan and myself discuss Mars retrograde both natally and in transit. This upcoming Mars retro on 9/9/2020 is a doozy!
Crisann Morgan and I just chat about what's going on in astrology, ending cycles, and some awesome listener readings.
with my colleague and fellow astrologer/Aquarius, Tamara Childs. So.Much.Cancer.energeeeeeee
Have you ever thought of retrograde planets as positive? If not, give this a listen! Crisann Morgan loves retrogrades, and so do I!
Manifesting queen and author extraordinaire, Erin Carere joins me to discuss manifesting tips and tricks that really work. We know, because we've been using them!
Introducing, DILF - the dad you want to FRIEND. Kevin and Laura discuss their unique approach to parenting and gender roles, the challenges of being a stay at home DAD, and airing REAL marriage issues on their podcast! You can find DILF on iTunes and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
body acceptance, body trust, HAES, and our relationships with food - with Linda Tucker, intuitive eating coach
with Erin!
my friend lisa and I discuss all kinds of capricorn things, being expert-ish on capricorny things ourselves. Plus current events galore.
with Tamara Childs We discuss societal pressures to be perfect, never age, and other bullshit that's deeply ingrained in our collective. Smile, wrinkles are ok.
In a very special interview, Gulf War combat Army Veteran Patrick (who happens to be my partner) shares his experiences in war, and the deeper meaning behind Veterans' Day. This episode does include some descriptions of war, death, and discussions of PTSD and suicide. But if those are NOT triggers for you, I highly recommend you give this a listen. If you don't have a personal connection to Veterans' Day, you do now.
with Katie Weaver. Readings and poetry and ...hilarity. BOO!
discussing sexual expression and bunch of other sexuality topics
Erin Muir of 12Listen digs into my fave subject with me as we try to demystify virginity, and tackle taboos about sexuality as we age. Also, more candy corn...
my friend and colleague Kristina dishes the dirt with me about the Patriarchy, toxic masculinity, and why feminine energy is important for everyone!
Jennifer Dove, an astrological and intuitive colleage at 12Listen, and I dig into our feelings about impeachment and various other current events. Then we talk about what to expect in October's astrology, including (dun dun dun) Mercury retrograde!
This week my friend Lisa and I talk about the importance of protest, activism, and the like...
returning to radio to deliver a message of hope to my bitches everywhere...
The answer is YES. Hell Yes. Fuck yes, even.Firecracker chats with Linda Tucker, intuitive eating and body image coach. This show could trigger you if you have an eating disorder. Also, this should could heal your soul and your relationship with your body and food. The bottom line here: listen to your body, eat what you want, feel fine about yourself!!!
This week we do some chatting about divorce - tips on how to survive one if you must go through it, tips on what to consider before you pull that trigger, and technique for not being an asshole. We also touch on custody, and child support. Aaaaaand, not surprisingly, wander off into related topics like the gender pay gap, the luxury of being a 2 income home, other sundry feminist topics.
Firecracker is always talking about staying out of prison. But in this episode she talks with a badass woman who goes into prison on purpose on the regular! It's a doggone good interview with Samantha of Marley's Mutts Pawsitive Change Program - an amazing program that rehabs both humans and dogs and saves lives. We talk about motherhood, being a woman volunteer in high and max security California prisons, dogs, and who knows what else. When I reached out to Zach to schedule some talk time with someone from the program, I told him the podcast was primarily feminist content but we were open to all kinds of topics. He said "say no more, I have just the person for you". And a few seconds later there was a group text involving Sam. She was a total pleasure to talk to and she's a badass vegan momma dog training ninja to boot!
Firecracker has a fantastic chat with Heather Skow, wife of Marley's Mutt's founder Zach Skow, who has been on the program before. A badass in her own right, an animal advocate, feminist, and the ultimate Mother. We discussed how powerful it is for women to lift each other up rather than tear each other down, and how to always look for the light, even when you're knee deep in bullshit, dog shit, or negativity.
Firecracker and Sparky do some serious ranting about first world problems. But that doesn't make them less vital and important. Body acceptance, Women's reproductive rights, and yes, Christina Applegate...I love you. (Call me).
If a firecracker explodes in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a noise? Yes. This week Firecracker is solo and is hogging the mic to dish about some basic astrology stuff. Plus your usual rants about feminism and the patriarchy and stuff like that. But also, planets and woo woo and stars, Oh My!
Fabulous astrologer and Hay House author Mark Husson joins me to celebrate my 100th show, my new affirmation cards for sale, and to talk about my favorite subject...me.
Kelly visits with Zach Skow, the face and founder of Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue in California. Prison Programs, Love, Addition Recovery, surviving death...we cover errrrthang in this hour. It's a favorite!
