Paige tells a great story about her husband‘s Motely Crue tattoo.
How women have always been raked through the coals in media compared to their male counterparts.
Shanika shamefully (or shamelessly) crushes over Tommy Lee’s charm in the second episode (Sebastian Stan is playing the hell out of the role, y’all).
Talking appendages…yup.
Tommy’s and Pam’s past relationships.
How this isn’t a sex tape but an Exploit Tape.

Note: During the episode, Shanika talks about Pam Anderson’s other show, VIP and calls her Valerie Malone. Valerie Malone is a character from Beverly Hills 90210, and on V.I.P. Pam Anderson’s character was Valerie Irons.

Episode 83: Setbacks

Heads up: there was a bit of an audio issue for the first six minutes of the episode.

What do you do when you have a set back? Say “Damn it all to hell!” and burn everything down. Kidding! Mercury in Retrograde kicked our butts and we made it out (barely). We both share situations where we’ve had setbacks and how we stay on track by focusing what is in our control.

We also discuss the new to us story about the heavenly time Eartha Kitt spent with James Dean and Paul Newman. God bless Eartha.

The Ramblings of a Gemini Rising, Gemini Sun, and Taurus Moon.

Keep in Touch with Jernell and Shanika!

Holiday season is in full swing and due to family, marketing, and media, you may feel the pull to have a partner during this time (Google “Cuffing Season”). In this episode, Jernell and Shanika dissect when the difference between being content and when you are settling and why it is ok to take a break from your partner (or family!) during the holidays. Shanika talks about possibly being open to marriage again (say wha?) and Jernell explains why she is taking a break from the dating apps (for now) and how this leads to Shanika taking herself on a Solo Date. We also discuss clearing out the clutter, complacency, and comparison. This time of the year also brings a lot of “last quarter let’s get it attitude” and sometimes this can set you up for failure. Last but not least, Shanika got a new Tarot Deck (Disney Villiain Tarot Deck) and did a one card reading for Jernell.

78. Book Club: The Final Girl Support Group By Grady Hendrix with Brindolyn McNair of That’s Lit Podcast

Shanika is joined by Brindolyn of That’s Lit Podcast to discuss The Final Girl Support by Grady Hendrix.

Final Girl : the female protagonist who remains alive at the end of the film, after the other characters have been killed, when she is usually placed in a position to confront the killer. (Source)

What happens once the news media goes away, the movies have been made, the books are written, and now you are left to deal with the aftermath of a traumatic event? In The Final Girl Support Group, Grady Hendrix explores the side of these survivors that aren’t seen by the public.

Brindolyn and Shanika discuss what they like about the book, analyze how each final girl chooses their own coping mechanism, why having an unstable narrator worked, and how the death of a certain character may seem tone-death.

Keep up with Brindolyn!

Being featured on Yoga Journal and one of Glo.com’s instructor
Reading contracts, having control over images, making sure you are paid fairly (you may be at the table but your plate can still be less)
