Two Drugged Girls

We’re ‘Two Drugged Girls’, with Rachel and Jessica. Today, in episode 8.5 - Work-Life Balance, we’re explaining ourselves. We've been absent! But mostly because life has taken over, and we've not been practicing our work-life balance. We dive into what it means to have balance, and tackle the social structure that is hellbent on valuing productivity over self-care. Don't worry, we'll be back next week with I'm Hungry, Part 2!

We’re ‘Two Drugged Girls’, with Rachel and Jessica. This is episode 8 - I’m Hungry Part 1. We are tackling diets and diet culture! We discuss what even is the concept of ‘healthy’, and the ways in which ads and social media geared toward women perpetuate a negative diet culture narrative. We critique celebrities who front diet brands and products, whether or not children should be on a diet program, and tear apart the ‘keto’-craze!

We’re ‘Two Drugged Girls’, with Rachel and Jessica. This is episode 7 - ‘Till Death Do Us Part. We have our first guest: our very good friend Lauren, who’s here to share her experience about her upcoming wedding! We start out by trashing the Bachelor Nation (it’s gross, guys), explore the idea of marriage as a life-trophy, and sing the praises of Buzzfeed’s Matt Bellassai for his commentary on why weddings are the worst. We then dive into the history of why women take their husband’s last name (it’s gross, guys), and explore the relationship between marital status and cancer.

We’re ‘Two Drugged Girls’, with Rachel and Jessica. This is episode 6 - Let’s Talk About Technology. We dive into the impact the smartphone has had on the two most recent generations, and explore the positive and negative associations with mental health. Then we get real about using technology to online shop - while drunk - and rattle off a list of quirky things people buy when sauced. Finally, we debate whether or not healthcare professionals should move on from pen and paper, and embrace technology to increase efficiency. Stella, Rachel’s Yorkie, makes an appearance.
