Thought Dish Podcast

This week we talk about accountability (which we know we've already talked about but bro we're bad at it) and we talk about making sh*t happen. Mostly because we're forcing you to be our accountabilabuddies. No take backs.

Small trigger warning if talk about alcohol makes you feel uncomfortable. We talk our relationship with alcohol as a social lubricant and talk about how we might challenge the thought that we need to drink socially.

Episode 2 is out now! We're talking about the future  of the podcast and goals in our lives. Find us wherever you listen to podcasts!

Kayla and Elizabeth reflect over the past year and wrap up the first season of Thought Dish Podcast.

This week, we wanted to celebrate how far we've come with the podcast by making it even more difficult for Elizabeth to edit (it's fine, she's only a little bitter). We invite on Kayla's sisters to talk about all things holiday traditions (or lack thereof) and enjoy the chaos of having everyone in one room.

In this episode, Elizabeth and Kayla talk about cleaning methods, how cleaning has become such a burden from their past, and spend a REALLY long time talking about Junebugs. This podcast is always resorting to bugs isn't it? Sigh.

This week, Elizabeth and Kayla talk about responsibilities aka what you're ACTUALLY responsible for and not what you THINK you're responsible for. They also go over something close to home and how talking out your feelings makes friendship circles safer (if a little less "comfy").

We continue the month of spooky, scary conversations with our newest topic: witches! We dig into the deeper meaning and critique when it comes to witches and how they seem to match up with women, nonbinary, and anyone not seen as "normal." Happy Halloween from the Thought Dish podcast. We hope you're safe this weekend and on Halloween.

Guys, Elizabeth is so on top of it, there are even show notes which you can find here! This week, Kayla and Elizabeth tackle some of the cultural significance of ghosts while also learning that a lot of what we believe has been manipulated by the invention of various technologies and more. Sit back, dig into some delicious hot dish, and join us while we freak out about turnip Jack-o-lanterns.

This week, we talk about how anger manifests in us and how we take accountability for how we express that anger. Plus, we go through the emotions in real-time about being angry with ourselves. If you're listening, know that it's okay to make mistakes, and it's important to talk to yourself better. Anger is an emotion we are allowed to feel, but we will make it through.

**Elizabeth apologizes for the echo in Kayla's side of the podcast. She's still learning and tweaking the set up (especially with new mics). We'll get there. But we appreciate your patience.**   This week, the dynamic duo sit down and talk about how guilty they feel when they aren't productive. And how hobbies are hard to have when you're an adult. We're told we can't have that Starbucks coffee if we're "so broke" but what about the productivity of rest? Plus, Elizabeth makes a hot dish that wasn't originally a hot dish. So they are definitely just taking chances this week.

This week we continue on the some trains of thought AND actually finish them. This episode brings on Kayla's sister Jac and wraps up our sister episodes for the time being. It also sort of wraps up multiple trains of thought we'd been having over the past few months. Grief, jealousy, envy, and a whole lot of local things that tug on our heart strings. Listen to it now!

Here is an episode all about jealousy and envy and how we always mix them up. Plus you get to experience our first ever two-part episode because we literally forgot to finish recording...you can hear the moment we think we TOTALLY can keep our shit together, but then can't. It's a great time for all.

Elizabeth's sister visits this time to talk about careers, pets, and how dang good a Chicken Pot Pie Hot Dish really is.

Kayla and Elizabeth sit down with the lovely and wonderful Mariah Jeau and talk about trauma, addiction, and her brand-new podcast! Check out F*ck Small Talk wherever you listen to your fave podcasts.

Kayla and Elizabeth sit down and talk about the local pride movement and how important it is to be an ally AS a member of the community. Plus they break down how the changing political landscape feels when you're right on the border of opposing view points.

This week Kayla and Elizabeth talk about their sexualities and celebrate pride. They also talk about the stigma around being bi or ace and how that's affected them. And they eat some dang delicious hot dish.

This was a week of obstacles for Elizabeth and Kayla was put out of her comfort zone by having to submit a video about herself for a contest.

Kayla and Elizabeth take the time to talk about Midwestern ways of talking and end up talking about weird foods they love so much. Puppy Chow anyone?

Today Kayla and Elizabeth order in instead of cooking a new hotdish and talk about pivoting. The episode takes a lot of turns, and they still talk too much about food, but overall, it's a fun ride about how we handle change in our lives.

Just a heed of warning: we do talk about body image, weight, and all things involved with those sticky subjects in this episode. If that's just not something you can handle, please take care of yourself this week, and we'll see you next time. Elizabeth has a quarterlife crisis about her personal style (she's still having it, don't look at her directly...she might combust). Kayla threatens to take her shopping (ew). And they talk the trauma of it all. Plus, Elizabeth makes the MOST delicious food Kayla has ever had (and yet, Kayla STILL TALKS ABOUT BUGS). We may never know how this friendship will last, but we do know this episode is a treat!

Kayla and Elizabeth survive another week of friendship (no discussion of bugs) and talk about the toxic culture around faking it until you make it, how it affects running a small business (being an LGBTQIA+ employee in a wacky economy), and enjoy another hot dish.We also must note for people celebrating Ramadan, we do talk about food during this episode. So I'd recommend waiting until after your fantastic holiday to dig in.

In the first-ever episode of the Thought Dish, Kayla and Elizabeth sit down and talk about how their friendships have changed over time. Plus, Elizabeth makes a discovery about her dreams and Kayla immediately tries to ruin it by talking about bugs. Even though Elizabeth made a delicious hot dish.Will this podcast last another week? Will their friendship end because Kayla just HAD to tell Elizabeth about a bug? Find out in this week's episode of the Thought Dish.

Your biweekly serving of messy, loud, but most of all authentic stories from two upper midwestern babes just trying to get by. Enjoy our unfiltered hot takes, bite-sized wisecracks, and healthy spoonfuls of self-discovery between mouthfuls of hotdish (no hotdish will be consumed during the podcast recording...just lusted over).
