Do your loved ones know what you want for your remains after you die?
@jentakesconfessions and @harperhasnicenails discuss the important things we need to think about, especially when it comes to things that will traumatize our children if they find it. 😬

@jentakesconfessions has a condition called rectocele. We've talked about it on a previous episode, but in a recent medical appointment she was asked the most INSANE question.
@harperhasnicenails

is @jentakesconfessions the only one who has a book to help you plan for your death and hasn't touched it? It seems like such a good idea, and there always seems to be time to do it later.

@jentakesconfessions recently had to clean out her parents' house after her mom passed. This included tons of unusable items her dad had collected through the years because he thought they could be re-used.

In the #sandwichgeneration we have to make sure our own ducks are in a row, but now we ALSO have to get our parents' ducks in a row to make sure we aren't left with chaos!

Raise your hand if your ducks are all lined up in a nice neat row!
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?? 🫥 👀

The dealers always try to drag you back.
Delete the app? Pffft. It doesn't help. They will still email you to let you know about all the posts you are missing out on, and as soon as you open it back up for that ONE post...BAM. Sucked back in.

Confession Time
@harperhasnicenails had a menopausal rage moment at the car rental counter, ending with the associate sincerely apologizing for everything wrong in the world.
Roasted!!!
In fairness, they did not reserve the special car she paid extra for, and so the rage was clearly justified.🤷♀️
Shhhhh... the secret is OUT!
The algorithm does not care about you. It is a self-absorbed greedy bastard that only cares about interaction.
And behind the algorithm are self-absorbed greedy billionaires profiting off of the insanity.
Now please like and share this post. 😄

NextDoor is the "get off my lawn" grumpy old man of social media. We have never seen anything on that platform that is helpful. And anything that is helpful gets ruined by the comments.
Yes, Pam...young people walk around after dark. They are not all criminals stalking you, FFS.

Social Media: Love it AND/OR Hate it?
There is so much to hate and be concerned about when it comes to any and all social media.
But also...

The best stories are 3rd hand. Prove me wrong.
Stories of other people's drama told by other people? We dream of this moment.
You don't know them. You'll never meet them. You can make up all kinds of backstory for your own amusement.
Let the fun begin...

Do you roleplay in your marriage?
@harperhasnicenails was out with her husband, and she started staring at a couple on their first date, watching the drama play out.
Seeking to regain her attention, her husband started playing a rich Englishman, and it worked.

There is a place for everyone in the world of swinging and consensual non-monogamy. Regardless of size, background, age, gender identity, or other qualities, there are groups that are excited to welcome you.
The only rules? Don't lie and respect boundaries.

What's the most challenging part of the lifestyle?
Ivana shares what she finds most challenging, as well as the opportunities that exist to support and educate people experiencing those challenges.
PS: It's really ok to say no. Anytime.
#thelifestyle #enthusiasticconsent #CNM #adulttopics
Careful of your assumptions!
One of the most important qualifications of people who participate is consent. There are rules, moderators, and those that pressure or in any way cross the boundaries of clear enthusiastic consent are quickly kicked out and blacklisted.

When did you know you were going to enjoy sex?
On this episode, our guest Ivana shares her experience as an active "Swinger." She teaches us what it's all about, how important consent is, and why this is an important and meaningful part of her life.

From 5% to 20%.
That's the estimates of adults that are currently engaged in a consensual non-monogamous lifestyle, or have at some point in their lives participated in some form of consensual non-monogamy.
On this episode we learn all about "The Lifestyle" from our friend and guest, Ivana.

Are you a swinger?
On this episode, we welcomed our friend Ivana to help us understand what that even means and what "the lifestyle" is all about.
She is funny, smart, and provided us with a great education on this topic.

Red Light Therapy for Arthritis?
Our friend let us try out her Celluma red light therapy treatment at her spa recently, and one of the testaments she shared about its effectiveness is how much of a difference it makes for her husband's rheumatoid arthritis.

If I'm awake, I want to eat.
The food noise in perimenopause and menopause is REAL.
What is food noise? It's the sensation of hunger that's not actually hunger. It's thinking constantly about the next time you will have a snack, what snack you will have, and incessant nuisance cravings.
