🎙️ Episode 12: “What’s Love Got to Do with It?

Welcome back, B&B fam! This episode is an eeeeeemotional roller-coaster! *sung in the key of Vivian Green* Alyzza and Lorryn are breaking down what happens when power is abused, whether in love, law, or the public eye.

We’re talking about:

🚨 Abuse, coercion, and the courage to leave—featuring a powerful convo with a legal eagle specializing in gender-based violence

💔 How to protect yourself (and your peace) through breakups, custody issues, and knowing the signs of emotional, financial, and physical abuse

🧨 Messy headlines and power trips: F.A.N.s on trial and the terrifyingly unserious government

It’s funny. It’s raw. It’s unfiltered. And as always, we’re laughing through the pain —because we’re hard body and built for this!

Tap in with us as we discuss how to leave relationships that no longer serve you while ensuring that you remain whole, stay safe, and recognize the signs so you don’t have to repeat the same lessons over and over again.

🎙️ Episode 11: How Do We Get Called In Without Feeling Called Out?

This week, Alyzza and Lorryn are finding that sweet spot between curiosity, chaos, and calling folks in—with love and side-eye. From ADHD meds to Medicaid mess, this episode is giving vulnerability and pure millennial exhaustion (in a good way).

We’re talking: 💊 ADHD meds finally working their magic 🎶 The dream collab that could give us the song of the summer 🍼 The baby’s sleep schedule vs. grandma’s intuition 👨🏽‍⚖️ Offset asking for spousal support from Cardi (and why we’re judging him) 🏥 Medicaid cuts and a senator who said, “we’re all gonna die” (yes, really) 🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month, inclusive language, and how to love people better—even when you're being corrected

It’s funny, it’s sharp, it’s a little unhinged—and exactly the space we need right now.
