    Ultimately No One Cares About You w/ Cheyenne Perez (The Sex Lives of College Girls)

    Cheyenne chats with Sierra about their friendship birthed deep in the pandemic amid Covid tests and isolation while playing friends and co-bullies in HBOMax's The Sex Lives of College Girls. They commiserate over the shame spirals of working in an ego-driven profession that rotates around their stupid faces. Cheyenne shares her journey with an intuitive eating therapist, and Sierra talks about her relentless milk-chugging as a child. We ultimately conclude that no one cares about you (in the way you might be worried they do) and that Slim Jims are to be f--cked up the butt (not in the vagina, thankyouverymuch). Cheyenne recommends bullet journaling, the teachings of Ram Dass, and to go outside of yourself for fulfillment. Also, at the top, Sierra shares about her bout with Covid of the Omicron variety (fun fact: she was sick with Covid while recording this interview!) as well as her bout with food poisoning while at Disneyland and on Splash Mountain. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sierra-katow8/support

    The Very First Negatime w/ Priska (Two Horny Goats)

    Priscilla Liang (aka Priska) chats with Sierra about how she crafts her incredible podcast Two Horny Goats, contrasts her experience with a life coach to Sierra's experience with a therapist, how the "individual genius" is a new concept (it used to be a bunch of people getting their ideas from divine spirits, duh!), and how her approach to her music has changed as she's matured (like no more Adele at Karaoke?! *gasp*). AND in a shocking reveal, Stay Podsitive has a brand new show segment: NEGATIME! This is when the guest gets to go off about something and get all negative, and Priscilla inaugurates this brilliantly talking negatively about when youtube stars use their kids for clout and the general triggers of exploited kids on social media. But then again, Sierra follows some cute babies and doesn't want the content to stop. WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO?! Priscilla ends on the excellent advice (especially for you people-pleasers out there) to try and ground yourself before entering a room by asking yourself - Who am I? Where am I? How do I feel? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sierra-katow8/support
