Cozy Pillow Talk

By Alexandria Bess

Here on the Cozy Pillow Talk I want to sit down and reflect on our days and just keep things cozy. With topics from A-Z, I will gladly talk about anything and everything depending on the mood and how were all feeling. We want to be as chill as possible, so make sure you're feeling ready to listen to me and others talk about our days, our experiences, new ideas or just a goodnights lullaby that may or may not be pleasant to the ear.

Girls answer hypothetical boy questions

Girls answer hypothetical boy questions

Hello hello hellooooo!
In todays episode- I am sitting down with two dear friends of mine.
Valeria and Rebecca are here to help me set the tone straight. We are asking hypothetical / kind of real scenario questions to another to see how each would react. Now we all know Valeria LOVES to smack the shit out of some people in her free time, so we are really putting her niceness to the test here.
Either way, this is broken down in two lovely episodes, so please make sure to tune in to both!
Also - please dont forget - were not specialists, we dont have any big advice to give out there and if we do, maybe dont follow them.
As you see - we are single.

A reality of Mental Health

A reality of Mental Health

In today's episode, my friend Stella and I are discovering different aspects of mental health. She and I share a different range of what mental health can look like, as someone like me who is an extrovert and someone like her who is an introvert, we had different experiences in our life noticing when mental health has become more and more of a subject. She shares about her past and also how life is now, as she has faced a reality of series of mental health. 

We talk about different aspects and how some things can make our life worse or better, and how we found certain things to help us. Also, as an FYI, we are not skilled professionals who know or can diagnose someone with anything. We are just two young attractive women in their prime years just talking about different parts of our life. 

We hope that if you can relate to this, that you could learn something. If not, also nice that you listened.

We will be back for sure with a second episode.

You win some, you lose some.

You win some, you lose some.

Hello and welcome back!
It is 2022! But to start this episode, I got to let out some serious steam. A lot has happened between the last episode and this one, where it did not just affect me, but also my surroundings. It seemed like the world was ending in just a tragic way because everybody's mental health was just off the road.
In the same time, I just talk about things I learned and things that happened to me and what I changed from one year to the next. Should we have New Year's resolutions? I don't know, but I think not. It doesn't really work. But what works is maybe just not setting any and focusing on things you want to do, and I mean physical things. Life is scary and I talk about it. Just as how life is scary and changes as well. We talk about it and we grief into it.

In this depressing episode (haha) it was really about to let the steam go before I continue with some fun episodes.
I'm excited to see what 2022 has to bring for us.

Hello and welcome! In today's episode, we meet Valeria! After working with each other for a while, we figured it will be time to do a little podcast together. As I work with some interesting and super fun people, I feel that it's time for you to meet them as well. Valeria is one of the people that you can just love instantly, as she is super bubbly and soft. (Haha soft). More like she has such a kind heart with the best intentions, how could I resist on knowing her without sharing it to you! Valeria and I talk about so many topics, starting from how she moved here from Costa Rica to topics like planning our fake weddings. Enjoy this bubbly episode, please leave a comment if you like.  Maybe we can invite Valeria to a Q & A at some point…? Let me know! Xoxo - Alex

Introverts, Extroverts & Ambiverts

Introverts, Extroverts & Ambiverts

In todays episode, we are talking about the MAIN characteristics of being an extrovert, an introvert and an ambivert. Most of them all kind of show a certain personality traits and others really could hide behind other emotions and feelings or how you were raised.
I would like to think that we all have a little of both inside ourselves, some people are stronger in one or the other, and some are just a really strong mixture of both and really act with the mood and the season.
Of course, I am not a professional so I dont have the most pro aspects of certain things, I dont know fully how it is to be one or the other so my opinion could be biased based on what I say to how I feel could be what.
I like introverts and I like extroverts and I think we can make a cute world together.
If you enjoy this, there are way more episodes to come. If you want to talk in depth about something, feel free to hit me up. xoxo - Alex

Today is all about my life updates, general updates and also real life thoughts on how fast life can change.
Some opportunities we forget to close in our hearts well, because they can be gone sooner than expected.
I just wanted to be real with you guys and share the deets and the feels that have been happening. With some aspects I might get into it even more (depending on request).
Please listen into todays podcast - if you have feedback, dont hesitate to share.

Stolen sexuality in a cult - Léa B.

Hello and welcome, today Léa is here with me today and she is telling us her story about leaving the mormon church.

We go through different aspects of her life, growing up within the church and seeing through her perspective, how she felt and how she missed out on. Growing up within the church has its ups and downs, but many downs if its taking your sexuality and many more things away.

In the end of the day Léa finds her path with many difficulties. 

This is a podcast with no judgement, everyone has their story and it is their full right to share their experiences.

Being single is ok

Being single is ok

In todays episode we are talking about the stigma of the single life. Being single is actually super natural and to be honest we aren't asking for pity from non singles. This podcast is really just trying to cope with it during pandemic but also in the regular days and debunking all single stigma feeling vibes. We also did a Q/A where we find out a bit about my personal single life-ness and comments and opinions from some friends of mine. Enjoy this episode.

Devotion to the King of Pop

Devotion to the King of Pop

*THIS PODCAST CAN BE TRIGGERING TO SOME AUDIENCES*
We discuss in a very casual matter the HBO series, "Leaving Neverland" from 2019. There are many sides and opinions to this and here we share ours and why were confused. We do NOT endorse this behaviour that has been accused. All victims have their personal truth and their feelings are absolutely valid. We went based on information's that agree and disagree to state why fans are upset. All research we did was all online so we don't have physical evidence if this is true or not. All we want is to find out if despite the allegations, if its still ok to listen/support the King of Pop. *WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THEY DIDNT HOLD HANDS HOW WE DESCRIBED IN THE PODCAST so please excuse us for that mistake*

Men and their insecurities

Men and their insecurities

Todays podcast is all about men and their insecurities that us women notice. Now, having an insecurity is completely fine and we all have them and its very normal. However, todays podcast is going to be all about things women notice about men that we simply don't care about. A lot of old fashioned viewings in certain behaviours men think they need to have when they really don't and we are here to clear the stigma.

Fashion isn't always luxury

Kevin and I discuss different scandals of fashion. As Kevin is a big fashion enthusiast, we discuss what brands have done a bad job within the community. We cover topics from Alexander Wang and the sexual assault allegations to Dolce & Gabbanas racism towards Asians. Not only do we just cover those, we talk about celebrities like Kendall Jenner who made her own Tequila and got massive backlash. You may learn that I cant differentiate Asap Rocky and Travis Scott.
