Whether you’re anxiously waiting for a text or totally fine being on “Do Not Disturb,” this one’s for you. Attachment style quiz: https://www.attachmentproject.com/attachment-style-quiz/

Season 2 is here, bitches! And we’re kicking it off with a topic that’s as divided as our personalities — travel.

Warning: This episode contains conversations about childhood sexual abuse. Please take care while listening. This episode isn’t light, but it’s real—and it matters. We’re talking about our experiences with childhood sexual abuse. Not because we’ve figured it all out or “healed,” but because sharing our truth helps break the silence that so many of us were raised in. We talk about what we remember, how it’s shaped us, and the ways we’re still navigating the impact today. This isn’t a how-to guide or a therapy session—it’s just two women telling the truth and making space for anyone else who might be carrying something similar. Email: [email protected]
