The world is full of parenting books, magazines, blogs and social media pages.  If you're looking for help raising kids, it's out there! 

But what if you're done raising kids day to day, or never had kids to raise in the first place?

That advice is still good ....for you!

Vanessa and Erinn take some parenting advice and turn it on themselves.  It makes sense to give  kids love, rituals and boundaries, but do we, can we, apply those same rules to ourselves?

It's a simple concept and a lot of fun to think about.  Join them as they figure out how to raise themselves!

Erinn and Vanessa are exploring sexual empowerment - what it means and how it changes as we age and evolve.

Do the words sex and power, especially when it comes to women, get a bad rap?  Is sexual power tied to our self esteem?  How do we figure out what we want and then have the courage to ask for it?  Is aging and sexuality win-win or a catch 22?

How often do you suck your stomach in? Do you even realize you're doing it?

Who knew that women sucking their stomachs in is, apparently "a thing!"

Think about this, the  woman standing next to you in line at the grocery store or staring at you through your Zoom meeting this morning,  probably has her stomach sucked in.

Is she ashamed or embarrassed at her partners touch?  Does she feels bad in when she looks in the mirror?  Did her mom tell her to suck it in? Does she aspire to a standard of beauty she'll spend years trying to achieve only to feel shitty when she can't?

Why do we women do it?  Especially when most women have a pot belly of some kind that feels so good to touch, hug  and squeeze!?!

Let's talk about it  - WITH our bellies pleasantly out if you please.

The term "Male Gaze" was coined back in the 70's by film critic Laura Mulvey, but the sexual objectification of women in television, movies, advertising, comics and more is just as important a topic to talk about today -  in good ol' 2021.

Vanessa and Erinn unravel their views on sexual imagery, how the male dominated view of women in media has affected them, and where the line gets crossed between sexual appreciation and sexual objectification.

It's a big topic with lots of layers, but they're brining their own brand of humor and questioning to try and figure it all out right along with you!

Does your sense of self worth and a certain number on the scale go hand in hand? 
Do you "have" to fit into a certain size to feel good in life?

If this sounds familiar, you, like many people, are caught up in the "Diet Culture" mindset.

Diet culture is a belief system that values weight, shape, and size over physical, emotional and spiritual  well-being.

Erinn and Vanessa have both experienced this kind of thinking throughout their lives and on this episode they are taking a deep dive on their journeys towards self love, body acceptance and ditching the diet culture outlook on life.
