Doorway Chats

Hi Everyone! This episode is a little more serious, but as two women, we felt it was important to chat about this. We talk about the recent Roe v. Wade decision, the amount of non-americans who follow USA News, sexual education, and more. For some comedic relief (kind of) we also discuss Secret Life of the American Teenager and Teen Mom.  As with any topic, we encourage you to also do your own research and find sources you trust to learn more about the topic.  Tune in today, wherever you prefer to listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify, Google, and more!).

Welcome back, everyone! Thanks for coming back to listen to another episode of Doorway Chats. This week, we're just chatting and catching up! We had a few weeks' break while we've both been busy, so we're discussing what has been going on in the meantime. A lot of the episode is about solo experiences - both of us had our first real solo experiences with dining out during the hiatus, so we're getting into it. Listen to this episode for our stories and head over to our social media to tell us your experiences with solo activities!  Tune in today, wherever you prefer to listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify, Google, and more!).

Welcome back, listeners!  We're talking about being good people on this week's episode. We go through some scenarios in which we think most people tend to be "good", we discuss what makes a good person, and whether someone can ACTUALLY be a good person. Plot twist, there's not really a right answer.  We mention the book "How to be Perfect" by Michael Schur in the podcast, which both of us have read and really enjoyed! Highly recommended. Let us know on Instagram what you do to be a "good person" in your life.  Tune in today, wherever you prefer to listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify, Google, and more!).

Okay. We'll be honest. We couldn't think of a word that started with C to describe this episode, so we're giving up on the gimmick. ANYWAYS, as the title accurately describes, we chat all things balance, "me-time", and how our views on the way we spend our time have evolved as our priorities and lives change. Emma also provided a valuable lesson on "revenge scrolling" while discussing what our personal self care habits are and why we should feel good taking the time for ourselves.  Subscribe to our podcast on Spotify and Apple Music to make sure you never miss an episode!

Hello Listeners! On this episode of Doorway Chats, we discuss (and rant about) the fashion and beauty industry. One of the main topics of this episode is clothing sizes. One may ask: how can you talk about something so simple for 45 minutes? Unfortunately, the women's fashion and beauty industry as a whole is run by folks who like to use dice rolls to determine clothing sizes (and likely a few other constructs), so there is a LOT to discuss.  Subscribe to our podcast on Spotify and Apple Music to make sure you never miss an episode!

This episode is all about the Vagina, the Vulva, and a book called "The Vagina Bible" by Jen Gunter.  Even if you haven't read the book (or, if don't have a vagina) you will be sure to learn some interesting facts about these body parts, de-bunk common myths, and have a good laugh at where Liliana's teacher hid menstrual products (was it a coincidence that it had to do with religion? I think not). Jokes aside, this episode contains information that anyone with a vagina should know, and we're here to spread the word to make sure future generations are not subject to the same mis-information that we were.
