Fucked By My Own Genius Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

Levitating on coffee there is a lot to say. It’s time to get serious with shadow work. Don’t you dare doubt our ADD as modernity. Sonos blasting Chopin throughout the home. An eight hour audio to take you through the day. Jacqueline promises to do something in a previous episode. When they take your books. Open air gyms. Jacqueline got a Tracy Anderson upgrade. Kate releases psychics. It was the body the whole time. Listen or the Body will Speak. Jacqueline references a Caroline Myss jewel, again. Ever heard of night and day?

A Butterfly Pinned Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

Jacqueline is quarantined in a Colorado hotel and Kate’s got her right where she wants her. Talking oneself into a nut milk maker and getting feet measured by a professional. To curl the eyelash when a hawk flies in. Cold-called by a real estate company mid-episode and dishonored by a shiny suitcase maker in recent days, but there’s good news: snow. Kate swabs on air. You gotta turn, not just twist.

Call the Tribunal Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

Twins this week, the hags were both in NY. They saw each other in a hotel lobby and had the burger together. Jacqueline did her workout in-studio for the first time. Is hot water on the face an issue? Kate likes to be witnessed. Functional medicine is on the horizon. Customer service is not dead everywhere. Cold spoons in the eyes.

Locking in Sedona Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

If the gifts don’t arrive at both hags’ homes…it’s no longer getting posted. Bottles are falling everywhere. Jacqueline doubts Kate’s Açaí bowl. The Hags envision a better bathroom, the ideal decluttering service, and gua sha on a rope.The swinging feet of First Class children. Bulletin boards. Both need a Jungian Therapist stat. The quantity of serum in a sheet mask. Sedona is locked in for now. Send your recommendations. Uprising Food’s’ crackers are praised. Gefilte fish.

They're Howling Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

The hags will be together in NYC for four dinners…what restaurateurs will offer to host them in a private room? Jacqueline sources clamshell backpacks for her and Kate. Peanuts and yellow bananas are actively bad for you. Life with Mark Hyman is considered. They play out a scene from their near future. Mountain or beach. The horseback discussion reaches its peak with a promise that turns Kate’s day around. A brief pause when they lock eyes.

The Alleged Ball Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

New Years, 2023 and the hags are not banging down the door at Planet Fitness. The Times Square Ball Drop is thoroughly investigated. Shroomami, floga, and finding the self in retail relations. Journaling by hand for a radical re-wiring of the brain. The Vimalya alphabet and facing a Sweetgreen. Jacqueline calls out for fountain pens. Kate’s holding on in the hips. The better the healer…the harder to stay on the table.

Lock in Peppermint Now Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

Kate was the most beautiful she’s ever been two weeks ago. Jacqueline was hospitalized as a child. The fragility of fathers and loaded eye contact with animals are considered. Shame and when Arnie overhears. All detritus must be discarded. From where do you view the week? No more gua sha. Nama said no. Maybe that’s the true medicine.

A Tower of Profiterole Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

The hags went for their big night at Jar. Crying while driving, it’s time for the ashram. To identify the true medicine. To be refined in the fires of suffering. The critic. Ice cold water. Tomatoes in November. Loose leaf tea. Thank you’s written in hot fudge. Calling all New York Body Workers and Acupuncture Practitioners. Will we ever develop habits? Christmas drinks. Sneak around the pain.
