T.A.B.O.O.

PSA: Stop letting people convince you that closure doesn't exist!

Is being held accountable synonymous for cancel culture? After all, accountability catalyzes room for growth. But how do we leave room for growth when we're so quick to tell people to go!???

Disclaimer: nobody truly knows what goes on in celebrities’ lives and we don’t claim to. All we can do is go off of what they choose to present us with. Regardless of whether or not Saweetie and Quavo had an abusive relationship, their body language in that video was worth a thousand words. 2 come to mind immediately: glorified & normalized. Have we normalized unhealthy behaviors, so much so that we glorify toxicity as long as “love” is involved? But is it real love then? And speaking of love, did you hear Icy Girl speak of that at all on @justinlaboy ‘s show? Or did we miss something. Let’s differentiate “teaching someone how to treat you” from teaching someone your love language. Regardless, there’s only so much you can “teach” and when any relationship no longer produces positivity it’s time to go! Hit the link in our bio for all streaming options

What are some words that have been over used and misused on social media? We’ll start: Toxic, manifest… and, you can go ahead and add “narcissist” to the list. In this episode, story time has officially begun as Liana shares her intimate experience with narcissism. As she enlightens us on love bombing, gas lighting, and hoovering, she also reminds us that labeling someone as a narcissist is not something that should be done lightly.

Abstinence. It’s definitely not the easiest thing to do whether it’s abstaining from sweets & carbs, alcohol, or sex. But, just like abstaining from food and alcohol, abstaining from sex has its benefits. Sometimes we do it to focus on more important things and sometimes its purpose is to truly get to know someone. On this episode, we discuss our experiences of abstinence. What does waiting to give “it” up mean to you? Hit the link in our bio for all streaming options

Forget standing up to someone powerful, or telling someone you love something disappointing… Try letting your partner know you don’t like something they do in bed. Have you ever done it? If you haven’t yet, it doesn’t mean you’ll never have to. Even with no music, no Netflix, and no sighs of relief, it may still be difficult to find your voice in the bedroom. In this episode, we discuss coming to a hard truth. Is damaging your partner’s ego something you avoid or is it simply collateral damage? Hit the link in our bio for all streaming options

Do you feel entitled to someone’s body if a) you take someone on a date b) a date occurs at your home c) your date knowingly becomes intoxicated d) there’s an already established emotional bond The answer to the above question has no “right” answer because each occasion may harm someone else. This week while discussing consent we: address coercion, invalidate physiological responses as a reason to assume desire, explain why the absence of “no” does not mean yes, and much more! We understand that sex, and anything involving it, can be considered taboo and difficult to candidly talk about — but that’s why we’re here❤️.

This week we discussed the concept of unconditional love. Is love unconditional if it was built on conditions? Have you been taught that love should be unconditional? Can love grow to become unconditional? & if so does that mean it’s been earned? Do you believe in unconditional love? & if not, is it because you’ve never experienced it?

In honor of our first Valentine’s Day together, we decided to discuss why we’re single, but with a twist.

Tune in to hear us give the tea on each other’s single lives
