Ladies & Tangents

This has been an episode nearly 12 years in the making. We are so excited to share with you a conversation with Reginald Lewis The Soul Teacher - Celebrity psychic medium, spiritual life coach & healer. In this episode we asked Reginald questions sent in by our patreon members and he shared with us his experience and insights about growth, healing and tapping into your highest self. With meditation as his medication and the ability to run on a whopping 3 hours of sleep, it's safe to say that Reginald is operating at a higher vibration and we are honored to have had him share some of his wisdom and experiences with life beyond this world with us! We already can't wait to have him back, maybe next time for a reading...?

We have often discussed how thoughts of our existence and identity plague us. The idea of how we got here, why and from where was simply the straw that threw the camel into an existential crisis. Because we are both terrified of sending our DNA to undisclosed businesses, it seemed as if we'd always wonder how in the actual f word did our gene pool create the two of us in the same family. Turns out, someone in our family already did the work and put information about our dad's maternal side into a sweet little (big) binder. This is the episode where we put some of the pieces together; more specifically which one of us looks like our great grandma and which one of us looks like a war hero.

Once again, you brought the most incredible literary masterpieces into our inbox. The prompt this time? Ho Stories, or as we're titling it Ho-rror stories because frankly, some of these are sketchy. We've got rodeo clowns, three-legged cats and impromptu country songs. We are absolutely honored to have the audience that we do and to bond with you over these terrible inter(course)-actions.

The episode says it's about Yelp Reviews, but it's more chit-chat catch uppy than Yelp Review-y. If you're here for the tangents and topic trails, then this is the episode for you!

We've finally seen how the other half of the country and tax bracket lives and we came back to our Ohio basement to tell you all about. You'll be shocked to know that this is the furthest we've traveled together and most time we've spent alone since our parents forgot us on the beach that one time. Just kidding. That didn't happen.... If you were still deciding whether you were a Jeri or a Ciara, this episode should help you finalize that decision.

53 years ago queens, queer, gay and trans humans from all walks of life stopped playing by the ridiculous rules that society and the patriarchal government placed on them and rose up to claim their rightful place in the sun.

It's pride month and we are so excited to talk allyship, transitioning & the humanity of individuality. We invited Jeri's friend, James Potter, on the podcast to answer your questions about his journey of becoming who he has always wanted to be. We're so grateful that James trusted us and allowed us to share so many parts of his life. Be nice to him or we're gonna think mean things about you because we would obviously never put a threat on record.

We know it's been a while since we've done a scandal ep because the form is filled with Bangers. Banger & Banger Incorporated, if you will.

Ciara is on vacay and our Patrons voted we take a breakski. We decided to give you all a peak behind the curtain and see what Ladies After Dark is all about. Technically we're always after dark, but for the exclusives, we're just a smidge looser. We are so grateful to everyone who has encouraged us to take care of ourselves and add more logs to the burnout fire. Here is a throwback to a mental health check in that could have easily been recorded last week, minus the Ciara still being pregnant part. We’ve been having a really tough time lately. Barbara told us a regression was coming but she didn’t say it would hit so hard. We wanted to take a minute to just pause and sit with our feelings for a bit and answer some of your mental health related questions. Play along with us if you or take a minute to check in with yourself today. We love you and we’re glad you’re here!

TW/CW at the 14:21 mark, we start to discuss current events involving violent intruders and armed assailants. This week we catch up after a week a part and recount Jeri's New York adventure before Ciara busts out the amazon reviews for us to guess. We got too excited about our summer drinks and unintentionally went to hammy town - apologies in advance for the slop. Stay tuned for a special apology as well from Ciara for her thoughts about JC. The rose-colored glasses are off and things are looking a little dirty...

When someone suggested we do a tier ranking episode, we decided to rank the only thing we would consider ourselves experts in - millennial nostalgia. You sent in your music, games, toys and tv shows for us to score on the scale from “eat my shorts,” to “all that and a bag of chips.” If you’re a mother Cusper on the gen x or zillennial side, you’ll still probably be able to relate to more than half.! We all felt some type of way about the fever dream that was the 90’s and 00’s - listen and see if you agree with our rankings! And if you don’t…talk to the hand.

Since our 2 Girls, 1 Ghost sleepover extravaganza was more tangents that creepy kids, we decided to combine some of our ghost story and creepy kid submissions to produce a Spooky Stories episode! We simulated what it would be like going to a scary movie or haunted house with us in both this and the exclusive episode coming out on Friday. What would that look like? Inappropriately timed jokes and uncontrollable laughter. Apologies if you wanted this to actually be spooky.

It is time for our annual Mother's Day Special! This year we brought on a special guest to help us share your stories - Erika from The Judgies! Erika and her husband/co-host Christian are expecting their first child and we thought it would be so kind of us to gently traumatize her before she writes a birth story of her own. We experienced some technical difficulties with this episode, but as one of you so kindly pointed out, we're parents and it represents the normalcy of being a f*ck up. Bless you!

You know that feeling at end of a long shift or a long drive where everything starts to blur together and anything can be funny? That's the kind of episode we needed this week. We took a dive into the interwebs to find stories and scripts written by "bots." We're pretty sure that in our absolute trash journalistic style that we came across the human author of these bot scripts, Keaton Patti. Put some respect on his name because this idea is comedic genius.

CW/TW - SA, Emotional & Physical Ab*se, Homoph*bia, Transph*bia This is one of the hardest episodes we've ever recorded, while also feeling like one of the most important episodes we've been able to record. We feel so lucky to be able to process growth with all of you and in this Faith 2.0 episode, we do just that. It has been 2 years since we recorded the first Faith episode and because of so many of you and the social climate of the world as of late, we have come back around to this topic to express our more current thoughts and feelings.

What's up, everyone! We are so excited to share this bonus episode with you from US Bank. Being able to use our podcast to shine a line on inequities and injustices is one of our top priorities. The episode we're sharing with you is about people who are doing the work to make sure people in power are held accountable when it comes to creating a more equitable and diverse workplace. One of our personal favorite discussions is about the idea of a finishline ally- truly a mic drop moment. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

CW- SA, Emotional & Physical Ab*use, Neglect, Miscarriage, Trauma Apologies in advance for the emotional whiplash we're giving you between this week and last week's episodes. We like to offer full service friendship around here so to counteract the drunken girls night we had last week, we thought we'd dive deep into our feels and discuss something everyone has but may not fully be aware of- trauma responses. Join us as we go through the 4 different types of trauma responses and how each can manifest in both healthy and unhealthy ways. We're all healing from something and we hope that this episode can be another tool to help you build yourself back up better than before.

It's Black History Month and we wanted to highlight an incredible story of three women who were the backbone of NASA in the 60's. We cannot wait to tell you all about Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson & Dorthy Vaughan. These people went above and beyond to break barriers for black women in STEM & the workplace in general during the civil rights movement. It is important to keep telling these stories so that generations to come don't have to wait 30 years before hearing about them. Representation matters and it's an honor to tell their story!

We've heard of the food pyramid, but did you know there's a pyramid of physical, social and emotional needs that also need to be met in order for you to reach peak levels of humaning? Well there is and knowing about it can be the difference between setting sail on the SS Self Loath to Sad B*tch Island and staying firmly planted on Peace Peninsula.

If you know us, you know we love pondering the idea of existence to a point of dissociation. During this weeks episode we challenge anyone to stay present the entire time as we discuss the idea of the simulation. What is the simulation? Well according to some, there's a 50/50 chance we're living in a super computer, running through someone's "I wonder what would happen if...." scenario and at any point in time, the plug could be pulled or we could reach the end of the simulation and everything ceases to exist.

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.

We've been known to throw out a statement or two like it's a fact that we've seemingly acquired from everyone and no one simultaneously.

I've re-read the last two sentences and wondered if I'm making any sense so here it is- we're talking about common misconceptions!

We love a wedding. The dress, the flowers, the demon threatening the purity of the bride. So romantic. What...you didn't realize that so many wedding traditions centered around keeping the bride safe from harmful spirits? In true Ladies & Tangents fashion, we decided to ask "why?" when it comes to wedding traditions and we're so excited to share all of our findings with you!

HOW HAS IT BEEN 2 YEARS OF TANGENTS?? We are so excited to celebrate our anniversary with all of you. In honor of this milestone as well as the milestones that were our 30th birthdays back in June, we decided to look up an advice article to critique. We're doing lots of reflection and thought it would be a good idea to see what another 30 something year old thinks we should be doing right now. Heads up- we're not doing a good job at being adults. What's new?? Also, back by popular demand- the ceremonial anniversary whisper game! Truly thank you all so much for your support over these last two years. We wouldn't be here without you. We are so grateful for each and every one of you. Happy anniversary, guys! Heads up! This was one of the first episodes we recorded with our new microphones and there was a bit of a learning curve. The audio is a bit different than what we've has the last month so we apologize in advance for the levels- especially during the whisper game. We got too excited. We got real loud. We're sorry!

WHAT'S UP GOURD SQUARD! In this Tangents & True Crime we spend entirely too much time talking about everything but The Candy Man. If you're here exclusively to hear us talk about him- skip basically to the end. If you like roller coasters, fun facts and distrust the media- start from the beginning. Ciara starts by de-bunking the classic Halloween myth of strangers poisoning candy during trick-or-treat and ends with one of the most disturbing stories I've ever been told. Somewhere in the middle we call pie "soggy cake" and deem pumpkin the superior fall flavor. Buckle up and keep your hands inside the vehicle. It's going to be a wild ride.

It's officially BIRTH MONTH! These last nine months have gone by so fast, but also unbearably slow. You know how time be- not real. We have been pretty vocal about our life experiences and we're continuing the vulnerability train this week discussing where Ciara is at in her pregnancy and how we feel about our experiences with pregnancy, postpartum and recovery. Society has done a number on our view of starting and expanding a family and the truth is, it's often a really difficult, scary and dark experience. If you're feeling alone in the dark, hopefully after this you'll know we're sitting in that dark room with you. Let's order pizza.

It’s that time again! We’re sharing your scandals and this week is not for the faint of heart- not because the content is any more of less insane than usual (you guys always deliver *chefs kiss* stories) but because our adhd is heightened to a new level. Like we almost want to suggest watching at a slower speed because of how quickly we speak and jump topics. It’s a lot so sorry- it was the caffeine. 5000 points to your house of choosing if you can adequately follow this absolute sh*t show. Happy Tuesday!

On last weeks episode we went through the 7 stages of trauma bonding and start this week off explaining how intermittent reinforcement links to love bombing and continues toxic cycles within relationships. Sounds super jargon-y, we know but we break it down using mice and pellets life real scientists. We also cover the 5 stages of accepting that you are in a trauma bond and some encouragement for escaping it. As always, please skip this week if you aren't in a good place mentally to handle this topic. We cherish you and your minds!

CW - toxic relationships, emotional & physical This is a tough one. In today's episode we discuss something that has been one of our most highly requested topics, trauma bonding. We know the world is heavy right now, but something we've realized is that in order to feel lighter ourselves, we must first identify the weight we're carrying around. Through this discussion, which SURPRISE went way longer than anticipated, we felt validated and freed from fears, resentment and guilt that we didn't realize still lived within us even years after leaving. We hope to give you the space to heal as well. This is a 2 part episode- part 1 today, 2 next week. I told you it went long! In part 1, we discuss the 7 stages of trauma bonding and what it can look like inside an unhealthy, toxic relationship. Please skip this episode if you are not in a place to process or bring up or hear some really tough memories. You matter more than a listen. We love you!

On our constant quest to understand why tf our minds do what they do, we took a pit stop in Imagination Land- specifically Imaginary Friend...Town? You get it. This isn't an actual quest and we aren't actually stopping. I've over thought this entirely too much already. ANYWAY - please enjoy one theory of where they come from, their assumed purpose and several terrifying and curious examples of imaginary friends. We tried finding funny ones but apparently parents are more freaked out than amused by them.

This weeks Tangents & True Crime is about an ongoing injustice that has caused years of generational trauma on Indigenous families in North America. We want to take this opportunity to amplify this tragedy in hopes to bring awareness. If the subjects of this story are triggering to you, please prioritize yourself and skip this episode. Your mental health is always what matters most. We hope that the conversation does not stop here and that justice can be served to the people most affected by the unspeakable harm caused by these schools.
