This week, Isabel and Georgia discuss the complexities of trauma bonding through Beauty and the Beast, a book Georgia read, and actual research articles. We go through the stages of trauma bonding to try to understand why those who become trauma-bonded do the things that they do.

This week, Isabel and Georgia discuss the relevant controversy over a document released by the United Nations (UN), titled, “The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty.” Since the release of the report back in March there have been several claims that the report calls for decriminalizing sexual activity between adults and minors.

In this eye-opening episode, we delve into the fascinating and often controversial realm of parent vlogging, sharenting, and the complexities of sharing children's lives on social media. Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of digital parenting and its impact on both parents and their children. This episode largely focuses on the concept of "sharenting" – the practice of sharing intimate details of parenting and children's lives on social media. We'll examine the motivations behind sharenting and discuss how it has reshaped the way parents connect, document, and seek support in the digital age.

On today's episode we are talking all things movies and television! Why do this? We may not realize it (or maybe we do), but a lot of the content we are streaming and watching has the tendencies to promote toxic relationships, bad behavior, and has some overall damaging messaging for all of us. We talk about some popular movies and television shows from the past and present and discuss the ways in which this content in particular can have harmful impacts on us and our relationships with one another. Tune in to hear our hot takes and connect with us on Instagram to tell us what shows or movies we missed, or if you think we are straight up wrong when we talk about these issues!!

If you are a girl, you might have grown up with learned fears that simply exist because you are a girl. If that sentence didn't make any sense, we will give you an example. Often, girls are afraid to do something at night or go somewhere alone. That is what we mean when we say "girl fear". The survey results are in, and we are breaking down some girl fears!!! We talk about our own experiences and learn a few new fears! More importantly, we are breaking down what the available stats are behind these fears to see if they match up! We close this episode with a conversation about sleepovers and the controversy that surrounds them. Listen in and tell us what fears we missed and what your take is on sleepovers!

If you were a 90's or 2000's baby, you probably watched Nickelodeon after school and on the weekends. A new docuseries, "Quiet on Set The Dark Side of Kids TV", details the horrors of abuse child actors and crewmates faced while working for one of the biggest for-children television networks. We break down the four episodes published at the time of our recording, we discuss the ways in which abuse was enabled at Nickelodeon, and we get into the theories that have since come out on the internet. Upon the release of this episode, a fifth episode of the docuseries has been published.
