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.

Sometimes the most meaningful realizations happen when you're not trying to have them. This episode begins with celebrating a small victory—finally setting up our video camera after years of saying we would—before diving into the fascinating results of our dating app experiment. The numbers don't lie: over 1,750 likes for one host while the other had a dramatically different experience, proving our hypothesis that dating apps create vastly different experiences for different users.

When one of us shares a recent dating disaster, complete with height lies and a woefully unprepared hiking date in 47-degree Pacific Northwest weather, it sparks a deeper conversation about boundaries. We explore that critical difference between protecting yourself and self-sabotaging potential connections. For those of us who've historically given 150% while receiving 15% in return, recognizing this imbalance early has become crucial to breaking unhealthy patterns.

The heart of our conversation turns to insights from "Things No One Taught Us About Love" by Vex King, examining how relationships often mirror our relationship with ourselves. We contrast the unrealistic romantic expectations set by John Hughes movies with the more grounded reality of mature love—not about finding perfection, but "coming home to yourself, then choosing someone who aligns with you." Our healing journeys have brought us to understand that true connection isn't based on transactions or codependence but on wholeness meeting wholeness.

Between fits of laughter and moments of profound clarity, we share updates on past situations that demonstrate karma truly does come around. These stories remind us that growth isn't linear, but it is happening. We're recognizing red flags earlier, setting better boundaries, and learning that processing trauma takes time—all while maintaining our sense of humor about life's absurdities.

Have you experienced similar revelations in your dating life? We'd love to hear your stories of boundaries, growth, and those hilariously awful dates that taught you something valuable about yourself.
