Chasing Tales Pod

As always, listner's discretion is advised as we kinda love Emily Gilmore and yah she's technically the villain 

Thankfully we went for a part 2 because there is just SO much to cover and say!

These books are infact BRICKS. Very good books. But you may want to buckle up because good grief do we have a lot to cover. Especially with ACOTAR 6 coming our way!!!

let's discuss this iconic show that has us feeling like viewers discretion is always advised

This may bite us in the butt later but here are our takes on Love Island Season 7 episodes 1-7!!! I mean maybe someone ends up being a keeper, but at the moment we feel the girlies deserve better.

What terms do we not love to read? Many! But at the same time....how else would you say it?

Booktok can be a fun and funny place! But there is a scary undercurrent. And some fun whacky fan theories!! 

We have finally finished and are able to discuss Kingdom of AHHHHH MY BRAIN WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!! 

Can Meaghan and Taylor get past their love or hate for Chaol? Will Taylor and Meagahn fight because Meaghan forgave and forgot pretty damn quickly....guess who writes these bios? lol 

Pride and Prejudice 2005 version is a perfect movie don't even try us.

This was such a good book. but you already knew that

WE FINALLY GOT TO TALK ABOUT THE BEST BOOK...EVER?

Spoiler alerts for season 3 and TW for dark topics such as SA. Chasing Tales is chatting season 3 of White Lotus!

Unhinged behaviour ahead. Late night giggles ahead. And yet also....graphic discussion at points because Arobyn Hamil is a CREEP and what happened to Asterin is dark and sad. Our funniest epiosde to date. But heavy subject matter spoken on by unhinged girly pops.

Meaghan generously shares her experience living with HS, and we also discus beauty standards at length including what we hope is a non toxic discussion on weight loss as it relates to Meaghan's personl journey. So if it doesn't feel comfy to join in on this one, no worry, we will catch you on the next episode discussing Empire Storm! 

a two for one because these two are more exciting set up than exciting tea!

A novella the book club approves of, and spoiler alerts ahead as usual!!!

In terms of the norm of failure, you are never failing. This doesn't of course cover super super deep feelings of failure- always reach out to a professional when needed. I am just a rat.

Warning for deep chats on looks, bodies, food and all the fun of being a woman in 2024 with someone who is not a pro!! Skip this one if needed! Just wanted to have a big sister chat xxx

Where is the rat in our favourite TV shows and Movies? Let's do a deep dive and provide the most unhinged episode yet!!! 

The rats are spilling the tea!! And I am too. And OK maybe I give some questionable advice that no one asked for!! YAY. 

This episode is a solo Social Media deep dive, I even get a little toxic to keep it interesting for ya. No body is perfect, but we sure see a lot of perfection on social media. ITS A LIEEEEEE chilll,, is it even real? Kinda tell my journey on this one a little, then we talk acne, then I give tips but i'm no pro and I am no where near perfect ok byeeeee.

Noor is an amazingly smart corporate girly and comedian and we can learn a lot from her incredible boundry building no BS taking skills. If you are having real work troubles past the realm of being able to journal and light a candle, reach out to HR or seek proper help! We are just two girlies who have had jobs and are now holding a microphone. But we do hope this episode helps!   Subscribe rats! 

Rachel DaCosta is a registered Phsychotherapist and we chat everything from toxic morning routines, when to get a therapist, and why a cheesy quote might slap. If you need a therapist, the rat community is with you, and there is nothing to be ashamed of! Lets talk mental health with a pro, and if you want to find Rachel, you can find her @rachedacosta.psychotherapy

Answering your little rat quesions about the wedding!
