Hold on to your butts people, you are about to journey into the minds of a very unmedicated Crazy Lisa TM and a very frustrated (but appropriately medicated) Bik as ya girls explore and explain ADHD.

Sometimes they sound uber smart and scientific. Sometimes Bik tries to offer psychoeducation and anecdotal musings from her work as a therapist with ADHD. But more often than not, Lisa gets distracted by her Labubu obsession, a thought from earlier or something shiny over there... Ooo, squirrel!

The girls frequently say the same thing at the same time (even more than usual) and are constantly interrupted by a toddler, Molly the Thoodle, rogue chickens, side quests, trips down Memory Lane and would it be an episode without them bursting into song? (Spoiler, no, it wouldn't.)

There may or may not even be a bonus track at the end of the episode... (Spoiler, yes, there is.)

Thank you for being here, we are in session!

Get YOUR STOCKINGS AND YOUR BONNETS… WE RIDE AT DAWN.

It's a ping pong marathon of a session today.

The girls explore the origins of the Patriarchy in the quest to find out if the asshole that dared give our beautiful Bik's parenting a critique has any right to interject.

Being in their MumGuilt Era - the girls want to be sure they aren't fucking up their kids (are they narcissists?).

Did you know the clergy and witch trials are the reason why there is so much school admin? Should everyone just shelve all their medication?

How do we prevent our boys from internalising shame when there are so many generations of trauma / historical foundations of emotional repression?

Can you overshare with you own kids?

So many questions. So many side quests. So many winter viral plagues; and can we take a moment for SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS and book week themes that are... umm... questionable?

Thank you for being here. We are in session.

It doesn't start strong ya'll - you'll see what I mean..

When it comes to growth; we are still feeling out the MUCHNESS - this time the muchness we want for those we love.

Lisa has plans for the week, and it is all going ON A WHITEBOARD !

Bik feels her cells regenerating. She can feel the winds of a new 7 year cycle rustling, but no one is overly sure what any of that means. It's stuck in her head and she NEEDS to get it out.

From the chinese numerological perspective.. to just sitting with and feeling out the concept as a whole; is this a thing? Is this a new cycle and if it is.. what is in store?

Bik wants to know - Do we ever really stop evolving? Is there ever a time we can just settle into ourselves and all the work is done? Do you ever know your entire self?

Lisa thinks she pisses off the people who are settled in, and comfortable with their entire self. She's also curious to understand what it would be like to go to bed with a silent brain that just goes to sleep..

We're not sure we find any answers, but if we have to know how or when we die.. Lisa is 100% certain on her feelings on that.

Is this our first 2 part episode?

(spoiler alert : defs not. We can't remember what we had for breakfast let alone remember where our thoughts sat when we last recorded!).

Thank you for being here - we love sharing our journey with you !

WELCOME TO SEASON 2!

Crazy Lisa TM and Bik are back on the mic after an unplanned but much needed break to decompress after a huge few months on the Misery Tour.

The Rediscovery Tour is officially back on the road, but this time... it is going to be bigger, brighter and more joyous than ever before! (Surely the shitteth hath hitteth the fan enough for 2025?)

Season 2 see's the reintroduction of your hosts, who have leapt head first into the next exciting stage of their lives. They have rediscovered part of themselves that have sat dormant for far too long. They are unapologetically "too much", in a space where too much is never enough. They are much muchier than they ever were before, and there is no going back.

We are back in session... thankfully... because these girls still need therapy.

Crazy Lisa's TM "Misery Tour" through Cancer and Heartbreak (0 out of 10, do not recommend) has taken on yet another hurdle... this time involving an ambulance, a prolonged hospital stay and the inevitable avalanche of grief and fear that comes with such things.*

Bik holds space for Lis as she cries (a lot) and laughs (a LOT) at how utterly rediculous life can be sometimes.

Come along with us along this windy path between recalling our loose and free teenage years, some random facts about sharks, facing the uncertainty of mortality, promises and plans for the future and a whole lot more.

*Silver lining - Bik and her family got to have Molly for a week again! Huzzah!

On today's episode of "Bik's podcast" (IYKYK), Crazy Lisa TM drops some Reddit content on the mic that initially enrages their feminist views on how we show up in relationships... but as it turns out it's actually pretty decent advice. It explores self-care, giving and receiving both praise and criticism, learning to hold your tongue and own your own emotions... much of which is new territory for ya girl Lis.

Of course we side quest into The Real Lives of Mormon Housewives, generational workaholism and how the youths really are winning life in the world of boundaries. You'll be pleased to know there are minimal bursts of song in this one.

TW: Mental Health, Suicidal Ideation, Heartbreak, Grief.

Ooooooft. This ep was hard. Really, really friggin hard.

But it was also beautiful, and raw, and brave, and full of love, and full of grief, and generous, and heartfelt. As much as it is full of hurt, it is actually pretty amazing.

Crazy Lisa TM rips her heart wide open and shares the truth about what's happening in her life at the moment. It's the most Ugly Honest chat you could imagine.

Please come into our session and listen with open ear and open hearts (as I know you will). This is real talk, real life, real shitty, shitty stuff. This is the epitome of why we do this podcast.

Hooly dooly this one is a tail spin! We (eventually) have a big, deep, challenging discussion about boundaries and learning the importance of creating space for ourselves and others. But before then, we talk about wigs, moving to a commune to become sister wives, how we would nail a zombie apocalypse and SO. MUCH. GLORIOUS. WAFFLE.

Crazy Lisa TM is unmedicated, but is powering on though some heavvvy stuff. Bik is kind of a bossy bitch in this one, pushing Lisa to confront the uncomfortable but oh nelly does it pay off by the end of the session. At times, it's giving ACTUAL therapy vibes.

If you don't want the preamble (but, like, why wouldn't you?!) you can skip forward to around the 21 minute mark where we FINALLY start the actual topic.
