Many years ago, we had our first ayahuasca experience, and lived to tell the tale here on this podcast. Fast forward a few years, and now Danny has experienced a few more ayahuasca ceremonies. She’s now back from a 2 week long dieta (it’s not what you think it means) in Puerto Rico, and she’s a brand new woman. Every ceremony comes with it’s own insights and perspectives, and we thought you’d like to hear how it went.

It’s been an eventful week. Hot off a big launch in her business, Jill jumped right into a brand new endeavor: getting appendicitis. In less than 24 hours, she went from closing cart to full abdominal surgery. Thankfully, everything worked out fine and Jill is doing her best to recover—which may or may not include lifting heavy weights—but this turn of events got us thinking… did this happen because The Big Guy Upstairs wanted Jill to slow down? Or maybe because she hasn’t been praying enough? Whatever the true reason, it’s clearly Jill’s fault, and not at all something normal that happens to plenty of people every year.

The thing we’re best at in the world is talking about nothing. We’re so good at talking about nothing that we’ve recorded 646 episodes now of talking about nothing, and you’re still here to listen to it. Sure, there’s only 3 of you left, but you’re our Besties! And Besties, we have some tea for you about Spain, Versace, men being ugly, and hysterectomies. You’re welcome.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: men on the internet need to shut up. With every new day, there’s a new man online spewing nonsense and we wanted to chat about one such Instagram Man complaining about women who are “bad at receiving.” Cue the eye-rolls. Anyone who has been a woman for longer than 10 seconds knows that men rarely give without expecting something in return. Knowing that any good deed done for us most likely comes with strings attached has made it pretty difficult to be okay with being on the receiving end of anything. We’d love to be in our soft girl eras, but the ball just isn’t in our court.

If you’d ask the opinion of the only people that matter, they’d say we’re the funniest people on Earth. And in case you were wondering, we’re the only people that matter. And you too, Bestie, but only if you agree with us. Sometimes our best episodes happen without any planning or real topic of discussion, and this is one of those episodes. We decided to bless your ears with 52 straight minutes of nonsense. You’re welcome.

We love a good, cathartic cry as much as the next person, but when it comes to filming ourselves crying and posting it online for the world to see… we’re not sold. Sharing vulnerably is an important part of building a personal brand, but at some point, the vulnerability can become forced, and even manipulative at its worst. Look, we’d be lying if we said we’ve never filmed ourselves crying, but filming yourself doesn’t have to lead to making content out of it. On the other hand, you can’t please everyone. So if blowing snot bubbles on the internet is what excites you, who are we to judge?

It’s been a rough week. Dolly Parton died, women are filming themselves confronting their cheating husbands, and Danny is attempting to masturbate. All that to say, we’re tired. Life in our mid-40’s looks like getting attached to our CAVA routines and going to bed by 8pm, so if everyone else could just do all the social effort for us and if men could just shut the fuck up forever, that would be great.

We’ve made a practice of not taking anything personally but maybe we should be taking things *more* personally. We came across a reel that got us thinking… if we’re all grown ups then surely we know what we’re doing when we hurt people, right? So when someone hurts us, maybe it is personal, and maybe that can give us the strength to walk away.

Watch the reel we’re talking about.
