Episode Notes: Welcome back, y'all! We are still settling down after a few chaotic months, but we wanted to talk about a few things that have been on our minds lately - toxic people and toxic relationships. Amanda shares her views on what could be seen as a toxic relationship and Melanie shares her experiences and personal dealings with cutting people out of her life. While this episode does not give you an exact play by play of how to end a toxic relationship, we do talk about the signs, what to look out for - and most importantly, making sure your mental health comes first and foremost.

Episode Notes: Hey y'all! Thank you again for having so much patience with us, we have hectic schedules and as we have talked about in previous episodes, Melanie is still figuring out her new medication schedule and Amanda has been very busy with her family. Times are rough and sometimes our productivity with the podcast gets put on hold, but don't worry, when we have the time we're here! Melanie is doing much better energy wise and is able to work more on personal projects, like this podcast! Your support and understanding is so important to us, we just wanted to state that before we get into today's Episode description. So for today's episode we're playing a bit of catch up as well as talking about some controversial topics, like Life After Death, Seances, Haunted Dolls, and more! We lightly touch on the topics of Demons and Deities and our personal take on Religions. But as you know, we tend to bounce around a lot and forget what we even started to talk about ...in the first place (whoops Austism and ADHD much?) The show Melanie mentions in this episode is Surviving Death on Netflix The Tarot Deck Melanie uses for the one card pull is The Dark Wood Tarot which you can find online or here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/938408413/dark-wood-tarot Music and jingles are created by Ander Hemans Find out more at https://trauma-and-laughs.pinecast.co
