Ever been blindsided by learning what someone really thinks about you? This raw, unfiltered episode dives into a jaw-dropping Reddit "Am I the Asshole" story that left us both stunned—a woman who overheard her boyfriend of eight years telling his friend he feels "disgusted" when he kisses her and wishes he was with someone else. Yet somehow, she's asking how to make him fall in love with her instead of walking away.

The conversation spirals into a deeper exploration of relationship red flags that many of us miss or ignore. From partners who constantly blame their exes for everything, to the slow isolation from friends and family, to those who give and withhold affection as a form of control—we break down the warning signs from our own experiences and mistakes. We discuss the fine line between showing interest in your partner's hobbies versus completely changing your personality to mirror theirs, and why constant small lies eventually create irreparable cracks in your foundation.

What makes this episode particularly powerful is our honesty about our own past relationships. We share stories about manipulative exes, the yo-yo effect of being someone's backup plan, and how trauma responses can make it harder to recognize unhealthy patterns. We challenge the cultural messaging that relationships should be difficult or that you need to "complete" each other when the truth is that the healthiest connections happen between two already-whole people who enhance each other's lives.

Whether you're recovering from heartbreak, questioning your current relationship, or trying to build better patterns for the future, this episode offers both compassionate understanding and the tough love you might need to hear. Because sometimes the most important relationship advice isn't about how to make someone love you—it's about learning when it's time to love yourself enough to walk away.

After a heavy episode about ketamine therapy, Heather and Lacey lighten the mood with a nostalgic game of "Never Have I Ever" that quickly spirals into a hilarious confessional of their wild pasts. What begins as innocent reminiscing transforms into a revealing glimpse of their journey from chaotic youth to calm adulthood.

The hosts trade shocking stories that will have you both laughing and gasping – from Heather projectile vomiting pink cocktail all over Luke’s bedding to throwing up in a cup at a concert where someone unfortunately slipped in it later. They openly discuss blackout drinking episodes where they couldn't remember how they got home or where they parked their cars, and narrow escapes from potentially dangerous situations.

Between fits of laughter, a more profound narrative emerges about personal growth and transformation. Both women reflect on how these wild experiences eventually led them to make significant life changes. The contrast between their past selves and current lives – now centered around gym sessions, book clubs, Bunko games, and quiet evenings at home rather than bar-hopping and impulsive decisions – offers a powerful testament to their evolution.

This episode perfectly balances comedy with vulnerability, showing that even the most chaotic pasts can lead to peaceful, fulfilling futures. Whether you're reminiscing about your own youthful escapades or just enjoying their unfiltered storytelling, you'll appreciate the authentic journey these two friends have taken together and apart. Listen in and maybe consider sharing your own "Never Have I Ever" stories with them afterward!

Stepping into the world of ketamine therapy isn't just about finding another treatment—it's about discovering possibility when hope seems lost. In this illuminating conversation with Tina from the Ketamine Clinic of Spokane, we peel back the layers of misconception surrounding this powerful therapeutic tool that's transforming mental health care.

Ketamine has suffered from mischaracterization in popular culture, but as Tina explains, this medication has been on the World Health Organization's list of essential drugs since the 1960s. Far from its reputation as merely a "horse tranquilizer" or party drug, ketamine's carefully administered micro-doses are creating breakthroughs for patients with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions when nothing else has worked.

What makes ketamine particularly remarkable for trauma processing is its unique ability to create a dissociative experience where patients can examine painful memories without the overwhelming physiological response that typically accompanies them. As host and patient Heather beautifully described it, viewing traumatic experiences "through a dirty window" creates the emotional distance needed for processing without being consumed by it. This effect silences the constant mental noise and self-critical thoughts that plague many sufferers, opening space for healing.

The treatment protocol typically involves a series of six to eight initial infusions followed by personalized maintenance sessions, all in a carefully designed therapeutic environment with constant monitoring. While insurance coverage remains challenging, many patients find the investment worthwhile compared to years of ineffective medications and treatments that never quite reach the root of their suffering.

Have you been struggling with treatment-resistant mental health conditions or chronic pain that conventional approaches haven't touched? The profound relief many patients experience suggests it might be worth exploring this option. Visit http://ketamineclinicofspokane.com/ to learn if this treatment might be right for you.
