7. That Girl Needs Self-Care... And... Duct Tape?!
On today's episode of "Bik's podcast" (IYKYK), Crazy Lisa TM drops some Reddit content on the mic that initially enrages their feminist views on how we show up in relationships... but as it turns out it's actually pretty decent advice. It explores self-care, giving and receiving both praise and criticism, learning to hold your tongue and own your own emotions... much of which is new territory for ya girl Lis.Of course we side quest into The Real Lives of Mormon Housewives, generational workaholism and how the youths really are winning life in the world of boundaries. You'll be pleased to know there are minimal bursts of song in this one.

5. That Girl Needs To Make Space
Hooly dooly this one is a tail spin! We (eventually) have a big, deep, challenging discussion about boundaries and learning the importance of creating space for ourselves and others. But before then, we talk about wigs, moving to a commune to become sister wives, how we would nail a zombie apocalypse and SO. MUCH. GLORIOUS. WAFFLE.Crazy Lisa TM is unmedicated, but is powering on though some heavvvy stuff. Bik is kind of a bossy bitch in this one, pushing Lisa to confront the uncomfortable but oh nelly does it pay off by the end of the session. At times, it's giving ACTUAL therapy vibes.If you don't want the preamble (but, like, why wouldn't you?!) you can skip forward to around the 21 minute mark where we FINALLY start the actual topic.
