Hey Lifers! Today's episode is a little unhinged... Producer Keeshia is filling in for Britt and we simply couldn't not address the girlfriend in the room watching you with her best friend.

Hey lifers! Today we are joined by the wonderful Megan Marx! We could have done an episode for each of the really interesting parts of Megan's life.

Megan also speaks about being diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA6), a rare inherited neurological condition that progressively affects movement. She t...
Hey Lifers, Britt is on her home run of recording from Scotland. We chat about navigating long distance & how it's going to work for her in 2024. Laura is... propagating. Lots of propagating. She might be a lost cause at this point but at least the house will be filled with fresh oxygen! We speak about a man who is suing people who outed him on a facebook group as being bad to date. Sounds a lot like someone who wouldn't be great to date to be honest... We also unpack the new crackdown that ...

Hey Lifers, Are you a people pleaser? Do you say yes to far too many 'favours' when you'd like to be able to say no?

Joining the podcast is psychotherapist and relationship empowerment expert Terri Cole. Terri joined the podcast in June of 2022 for an episode on cheating. You can listen to it here! Today Terri shares her insight into ev...

Does it completely depend on the specific circumstances? We dive into whether it's selfish to bring a child into the world past a certain age. Plus, Laura's been saying it for years. If ...
