It's Not Perfect

Welcome back for season two! Kasey and Annalissa talk parenting in a hustle culture, what slow living looks like, and if it’s possible to live intentionally. Where controlling kids came from, ending cycles, and how to live on no sleep.

Annalissa and Kasey go on a little bit of a rabbit trail talking about self love, the wellness community, and things like manifestation, crystals, and signs. If it isn't causing harm, does it matter if your practices (from a scientific perspective) actually work/ are real?

Annalissa and Kasey talk about their own partners, how they met, what their partnership dynamic looks like, how they got there, and what they’ve learned dealing with (any) relationship.

Annalissa and Kasey have Chris on the show for part two of their Cults and Kinks episode. And they are talking about (you guessed it) kinks! Chris walks them through his journey with ABDL and answers allllll of the questions. They discuss stigmas with kinks, and what they actually do as a beautiful coping mechanism, and form of self care.

Annalissa and Kasey have their first guest on the show! They invite Chris for a two part episode, to discuss two vastly different topics. Today, Chris and Kasey share about their time together in a Christian cult, the ministry they lead “post-cult”, how it’s affected them, and where they are now spiritually.

Kasey and Annalissa reflect on the past year, discuss the intentions they set for 2022 and how they feel they did implementing them. What they learned about themselves this year, and what they were most grateful for this year. 

TW: Pregnancy Complications, Premature Child Birth, NICU Experiences Annalissa shares her birth story with her son, how she truly almost died, and Wesley's 90 day NICU journey. They talk about how often parenting changes as your kids age, always being thrown curve balls, and the things NO ONE told them about birth. 

Kasey and Annalissa talk about over functioning, what it looks like for them and how it affects their relationship dynamics. They discuss how self acceptance and compassion play into getting out of the cycle of over functioning, and raise the question, is everyone over functioning or just us?

Annalissa and Kasey talk about Las Vegas, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, and hash out their personal experiences with grief and shedding core beliefs. What it looks like to sit with and process high emotions associated with grief, being able to listen to your body and take care of yourself.

This week Annalissa and Kasey go in blind and let the conversation go wherever in the world it wants to go. They discuss energy and intuition, womb health, projecting your shit onto the people around you (including your partners and kids), and end with the hills they'll gladly die on. 

Annalissa and Kasey discuss adult friendships, what that looks like and feels like, compare different communities we have been in. Also skimming over gossip, empathy, unpacking trauma, and diversity.
