Many people argue that kids these days aren’t as strong because they all receive “participation” ribbons or trophies.  They say that if there isn’t a clear “winner”, kids will grow up weak and will be less inclined to work hard. In this episode we share some recent tough parenting moments that illuminate some of the problems with this argument.

Recently, Josie found herself at the non-off leash park near her house. When she kindly asked a man to leash his dog because her son was terrified, he adamantly refused. In a fit of anger, he hurled the label "Karen" at Josie. In this episode, we delve into the origins, evolution, and lessons behind the term "Karen." Have you ever pondered where this name and its meaning originated? Have you ever wondered if you've accidentally channeled your inner Karen? And hey, what's a person named Karen to do in all this? Join us as we unpack these questions and more with Refinery 29’s Kathleen Newman-Bremang. Together, we explore the complexities surrounding this term and the insights it offers into societal attitudes and behaviors.

One of us cheated and thought it would help the relationship. Boy was she wrong. We unpack both of our wandering ways and what happened next. We also interview Dr. Dylan Selterman, personality psychologist and Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins University Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.  Through his research on infidelity he has uncovered the many reasons why people cheat and how it’s not always such a bad thing.  For more info on Dr. Selterman visit: https://www.dylanselterman.com/ If you have a cheating story, or an “Unmentionable” that you would like us to explore, send us an email or a voice memo and tell us everything! Hello@CynthiaandJosie.com Also you can go to www.cynthiaandjosie.com for more info.    And as you know there are a zillion podcasts out there so we would really love it if you can subscribe today and give us a nice rating. 

In our premiere episode, we get to the BOTTOM of one of society’s messiest taboos. It's often the BUTT of jokes, but this BUMPY problem is a real PAIN IN THE ASS for many people. It's actually what brought the two of us together & led to the creation of this series. We’ve been …ahem…sitting on this for a long time. Maybe you have too. Yes, we're talking hemorrhoids.
