It's our 21st birthday!!! Woo hoo! Justine talks about last year's sailing adventure, which included some "offshore drilling." We talk about the importance of identifying what a healthy relationship is and how nobody teaches us about that. Dixie also tells us about her frig phobia and the origin of that fear. We enjoyed a delicious libation by Justine that we lovingly named the "Pink Pussy Punch" ❤️
And why tf am I stuck in this car wash?! What books have you read more than once? Weird gas station bathroom warnings, movie theater experiences...you know how we do! We talk about all the things while sipping on an incredible Peachy Keen crafted by Ronnie.
Ahem, this mofo was recorded when there was still snow on the ground. Why are you just getting it now you ask? Because Alex is a slacker. Childhood games, childhood injuries, beaver vs muskrat. So many topics, so little time! Oh, we also planned a whole ass birthday party for Alex. P.S. it didn't happen. Alex fed us a yummy Raspberry Elderflower Gin & Tonic she found on TikTok after her original cocktail idea didn't make the cut.
I mean really. It's true. A side effect of increased water intake in increased water excretion! We revisit self care/healthy intentions, reminisce on some childhood memories and do what we do...laugh so hard you can't understand a damn word! Cocktails this episode by Dixie are the "Busy Bitches" pre-made by On The Rocks
Pregnancy cravings, therapy and tears OH MY! Alex needs a therapist, Dixie needs Joy, Justine loves vegetables and Ronnie is just trying to go to Florida! Self care is hard and things get emotional when we break down what it means and how we can manifest it. Justine served us up an absolutely decadent Mocha Russian this episode. Ah-mazing! Cheers!
While enjoying a What's in Your Bag? Created by Ronnie, we finally get back to the types of tears discussion! Justine gives us a little summary of Ayurveda and the meaning of tears. Oh, we also talk toys, lube, kids etc etc!
We revisit the favorite products previously talked about as Ronnie has tried several and Dixie has an update on one of hers.

This episode we talk sex! More specifically what we like to see, hear and experience during sex. Are you a lights on, eyes open? Or a lights off, eyes closed with little to no dirty talk?

It's a wonderful, slightly tropical rum concoction that had us all in rare form by the end!!

The Confidants take on toxic relationships, family obligations and the difficulties of maintaining healthy boundaries. Can we still love family members who we have cut off contact with? We also enjoy a spicy and sweet Raspberry and Jalapeño Martini crafted by Justine. But you'll have to listen to find out what Dixie named this delicious creation!
Is your inner voice an all accepting hippie or a super aggressive drill Sergeant? And why do we feel we need to be a certain size and shape? Are these self imposed or are we trying to conform to societal pressures? In this episode, we explore the influences that have shaped our self esteem and our inner voices, good and bad. We are a little more serious than we usually are this month but you get the same real talk we've always given you! We enjoy a delicious and beautiful elderberry based cocktail created by Ronnie "To Your Health". Cheers!!
Why are the Cheez-Its in my bathroom? Why did you knock if you thought I was using a vibrator? We are talking of course about the little assholes again and the nonsense they pull.
