Why aren't millennials having kids? - Re...

Ladies & Tangents
About this episode

Jeri read a book- yes, Jeri- and she learned a new term that we want to share with you: Relational Poverty. We know that the world is every changing and society has seemingly been moving faster than humans can cope with. They say when you have children you get to experience all the joys of life again through fresh eyes, but what happens when what you see looks nothing like what you thought or what you were told? We're noticing how much we're grieving the loss of connection this holiday season and wanted to validate anyone out there who may be feeling it too. You're not alone and there's a reason that loneliness feels like a disease, in a way it is. Thanks for being a part of our community and helping us create a place for people to connect. You matter and we're grateful for you.

An “I feel naked in front of the class” moment - OCD
Our office flooded so we've set up shop at Jeri's house. Maybe it was the moon, maybe it was the lionsgate portal, maybe it was the energy lobotomy we received moments before recording, but the vibes felt so right for this ep. If energy lobotomy has you saying "pardon?" the first ... Show More
