Howdy babes. First off, F*ck James Corden. What's up with gender and race, slut? The babes talk This Land, Reservation Dogs, Kim's ex being disrespectful, and the racism of climate change. Then, Shawny gets into his own mental health journey and how race plays into that. The babes discuss the inner white supremacist narrator and James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time.

This session we begin our new series for the month exploring the intersections of race, racism, and mental health. HEAVY? Yes, AND babes...we handle it with grace, humor, and honesty like we always do. We are joined by professor, speaker, consultant, & counselor, Dr. Veronica E. Johnson. She generously shares her expertise working with clients through a psychodynamic lens, educating across racial differences, and the weight of living in oppressive systems. Any of that seem puzzling? Don't fret we break it down for ya. An episode summary can't really BEGIN to capture the depth of this conversation...so JUMP IN!

This session we are joined by season one favorite, truth dropper, and big ol' sweetheart, BJ Rudd, LPC. As we close out our chapter on New Beginnings, BJ shares about his recent experience leaving his job to pursue school, the weaponizing of queerness as a defense against critique, and what he took away from his experience leaving the Pentecostal church. What do you think about Lizzo's new single? Don't forget to subscribe, share, and submit those 5-star reviews! Your support keeps us going.

They talk ways changes are showing up in their lives and the healthy (and not so much) ways they deal with it all. Plus- we bring back ...And What About It to discuss Willow and Tinashe's new albums, Jennifer Coolidge's monologues, and the best new mean girls on tv. Miss Delta is comin in HOT so do your part to protect yourself and those aroudn you. This is a pro-vax pod, babes. xoxo, gossip girls
