Young & Bereaved Podcast

We're in the sweet spot between the two year anniversaries of our mommy deaths (Maddie in May, Quinn in June). So we thought... time to break out the microphone and record smtn.  I had to pay 100$ to renew our hosting subscription to post this episode, so I have a strong feeling we're going to keep recording for the next 365 days. Smell ya next week!   Questions/comments/concerns: [email protected] follow us on ig: http://instagram.com/bereavedpodcast Cassidy Layton designs our graphics and hi Cassidy it's been a minute: http://instagram.com/casadilla67    

We used two microphones to record this episode!! did someone say.... sponsors?!?! There's nothing like taking time out of your busy life to slog through the emotional trenches of sorting your mom's Ann Taylor Loft v-neck collection. This episode is (kinda) about sorting through your dead person's belongings.    Questions/comments/concerns: [email protected] follow us on ig: http://instagram.com/bereavedpodcast Cassidy Layton designs our graphics and hi Cassidy:   http://instagram.com/casadilla67

Ok, hurry!!! Go leave us a review on Apple Podcasts stating if you prefer the 2005 Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice adaptation, or the BBC six-part Pride and Prejudice adaptation. This is obviously both extremely important and extremely relevant.    We're back and it's a good one! We start with A+ excuses, then roll into dunking on our brothers and complaining that once your mom dies... even when life is good.... it also still sucks?   Questions/comments/concerns: [email protected] follow us on ig: http://instagram.com/bereavedpodcast Cassidy Layton designs our graphics...

Two totally cohesive topics in this one: doggy grief and reading reviews of movies where someone (usually the mom) dies... just like peanut butter and jelly, baby. Oh...  and we finally share the woodshop update yall have been waiting for.    This episode is inspired by the hilarious podcast Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet.

A pitch for Buzzfeed: You know your mom is dead when....  - your kitchen has transformed from a cozy, inviting space to a sad room without bread or clean forks - you've ghosted three therapists  - you skip ahead in every book you read (oh wait i've always done that)   Recommendations: Dancing at the Pity Party by Tyler Feder Let's Talk About Hard Things by Anna Sale   Questions/comments/concerns: [email protected] follow us on ig: http://instagram.com/bereavedpodcast Cassidy Layton designs our graphics and it's currently 12:30AM so I'm gonna leave it there :   http://instagram.com/casadilla67

Temperatures have plummeted and winter is quickly approaching... so we start this episode in the most logical way: 2 minutes of running a loud space heater in the background, and then a quick pivot into UGG boot chatter.   We also discuss movies/books that are low-key and high-key grief canon: Fleabag, Harry Potter, Kick-Ass.
