Crazy Lisa's TM "Misery Tour" through Cancer and Heartbreak (0 out of 10, do not recommend) has taken on yet another hurdle... this time involving an ambulance, a prolonged hospital stay and the inevitable avalanche of grief and fear that comes with such things.*

Bik holds space for Lis as she cries (a lot) and laughs (a LOT) at how utterly rediculous life can be sometimes.

Come along with us along this windy path between recalling our loose and free teenage years, some random facts about sharks, facing the uncertainty of mortality, promises and plans for the future and a whole lot more.

*Silver lining - Bik and her family got to have Molly for a week again! Huzzah!

On today's episode of "Bik's podcast" (IYKYK), Crazy Lisa TM drops some Reddit content on the mic that initially enrages their feminist views on how we show up in relationships... but as it turns out it's actually pretty decent advice. It explores self-care, giving and receiving both praise and criticism, learning to hold your tongue and own your own emotions... much of which is new territory for ya girl Lis.

Of course we side quest into The Real Lives of Mormon Housewives, generational workaholism and how the youths really are winning life in the world of boundaries. You'll be pleased to know there are minimal bursts of song in this one.

TW: Mental Health, Suicidal Ideation, Heartbreak, Grief.

Ooooooft. This ep was hard. Really, really friggin hard.

But it was also beautiful, and raw, and brave, and full of love, and full of grief, and generous, and heartfelt. As much as it is full of hurt, it is actually pretty amazing.

Crazy Lisa TM rips her heart wide open and shares the truth about what's happening in her life at the moment. It's the most Ugly Honest chat you could imagine.

Please come into our session and listen with open ear and open hearts (as I know you will). This is real talk, real life, real shitty, shitty stuff. This is the epitome of why we do this podcast.

Hooly dooly this one is a tail spin! We (eventually) have a big, deep, challenging discussion about boundaries and learning the importance of creating space for ourselves and others. But before then, we talk about wigs, moving to a commune to become sister wives, how we would nail a zombie apocalypse and SO. MUCH. GLORIOUS. WAFFLE.

Crazy Lisa TM is unmedicated, but is powering on though some heavvvy stuff. Bik is kind of a bossy bitch in this one, pushing Lisa to confront the uncomfortable but oh nelly does it pay off by the end of the session. At times, it's giving ACTUAL therapy vibes.

If you don't want the preamble (but, like, why wouldn't you?!) you can skip forward to around the 21 minute mark where we FINALLY start the actual topic.

Your girls are back on the mic dissecting one of their favorite topics - HONESTY. From their experiences with it, to how it impacts their relationships to why Radical Honesty is a deal breaker for them. Crazy Lisa TM is having a time... but she shows up and drops her wisdom in a way that only someone who is truly embodying Radical Honesty can. Bik reveals a more personal side of herself, and why honesty has been a tricky psychological block to overcome. There is also talk of four wheel driving, donkeys and cave people. (TW: The ADHD propensity to vocal stim and burst into song is rife).

We missed you guys !! A week off the mic and we are back with a criminal vengeance.

Lisa blew off some steam a few weeks back and met an awesome fun couple who gave her the idea to take a DNA test, and it has sent her on a wild discombobulated spin into her family's history - further adding to her quest for her identity post cancer treatment.

Bik is there to unpack, and give depth, meaning, and some much needed dance therapy to the chaos.

We are so stoked for the feedback guys - keep it coming x

EPISODE 2 YOU GUYS!

The Girls are talking all things mental health; medications; getting emosh...

Crazy Lisa's TM school Mother's day was a beautiful bust; and apparently it's a NO to throwing out the kids clutter...

We hit some sweet nerves, overshare, and celebrate ALL the womens, even if we are just a couplla scrappy bitches.

Thank you for being here. We love you all. x

It's awkward.. it's our first therapy session and we are just all over the damn place.

With a half assed introduction (oh hell, just stick with us and you'll get to know us better!) and a brief entry into Lisa's cancer battle, from giraffes to Susie on the counter at Aldi, we have a crack at unpacking everything from self awareness, slow talkers, and how to lovingly let go of a relationship.

Welcome to our safe place. Our clinique de raw.. welcome to our therapy.
