Daddy Issues

Apologies in advance for this mega episode, but G desperately needed to unpack this week! I'm sure we can all relate to rejection, and if you are like us you already have a crippling fear of rejection thanks to dear old dad! It has been nearly a year since G's friendship imploded, and she is finally healed (ish) enough to talk about it.. So join us as we talk about the friends we've gained and lost, and what it all means to us. Is it just us or are bestfriend breakups even tougher than romantic ones?? As always, THANKS DAD!

Hey guys, welcome to this season's FIRST guest episode with none other than our tech guy, and G's hubby, SEAN! You have probably heard him in the background on occasion, and he does a lot of the behind the scenes to make this show a reality. We are forever grateful for all that he does, and so excited for ya'll to get to know him and appreciate him as much as we do. We talk about what it means for him to be the oldest sibling, and talk about how much your rankings in the family can influence your core character traits. We dig into major moments in his childhood, and the dangers of shielding your children too much. Grab your drinks, because as you will soon fin out, Sean isn't one to wear his emotions on his sleeve. . Follow us on Instagram: @__daddy.issues Follow Sean on Instagram: @seanlavrisa

This week we unpack why it is that Sonya feels the need to know absolutely everything, and why being unsure causes her such distress. She's confused why in the professional world people seem to think she is so timid, yet with things she is passionate about she does not hold back at all. Grab your drink and prepare to learn way more about the medical world than you were prepared to, we aren't sure if this is a curtain we want to peak behind.. Grab a drink, you will need it!

Karl is kicking things off this season with her first official episode as a co-host, and this is a BIG ONE! This week us girls are talking about Kaelyn's sexuality. Kaelyn is a pretty closed book when it comes to her romantic life, so this is a BIG DEAL!! When did she start noticing her attraction to others? What has her dating life been like lately? How does she define her sexuality? Well, grab your drink and find out with her big sisters in real time as they hear from her for the first time about this subject. This week we want to do more than just thank our dear old dad, we want to thank our whole family (unironically) for being the type of family that allows us to express ourselves and form relationships with anyone, without the need to define it. We recognize this major blessing does not apply to all, even these days, so we hope you find this episode relatable, and know that you all are amazing as you are! THANKS FAM!

That's right guys, WE ARE BACK!! As much as we would love to give you guys a warm apology, we are far too damaged and in denial of our own shortcomings to do so.. (: SO instead, for our first episode back for our FIRST OFFICIAL SEASON, we have for you a laundry list of excuses for your pleasure! Now, I know you all missed us, and we do understand abandonment issues for obvious reasons, but trust us, this hiatus has provided us so much content so we hope you have wine in hand! This season we are coming in hot, with lots of surprises up our sleeves, PLUS we are officially a three woman team, so please welcome Kaelyn as she, like us all, did not make it unscathed into adulthood. THANKS DAD!

If this episode seems familiar it's because it is! When we originally recorded "I am not Worthless" G felt that the episode wasn't good enough... (SHOCKER!). We don't want to put any juicy daddy issues to waste so here is the second attempt of "I am not Worthless!". Thanks for joining us as this week we discuss how open G feels she needs to be about sex because of how our family dealt with the topic growing up, we also talk about how she views her own and other's worth and how that may be holding her back. As always, thank you and THANKS DAD. Follow us on Instagram: @__daddy.issues Follow us on Twitter: @__daddyissues

This week we are back with a Sonya episode, G is relentless this week with her line of questioning which is a total role reversal if you've been here before! We talk about the pressures that Sonya is facing and the stage of life she is at currently because it's her time to be selfish, but how does that reflect in her relationships? Join us on a journey of tough love, brutal honesty and as always, lots of laughs as we talk about our feelings. Follow us on Instagram: @__daddy.issues Follow us on Twitter: @__daddyissues

In this week’s heartfelt episode we get real with our mom about her Dad, we never got to know him so a lot of these stories we are hearing for the first time along with you all!

Surprise!! We are switching things up this week with our very first (not so) minisode! Join us as we go over past episode's with our Momma & discuss some details we may have gotten just a little bit wrong.. Or maybe as we were kids at the time, we didn't actually get the full picture. Never fear, mom is here to set the record straight! It should come as no surprise that we tend to stray off topic and at times we may get a teeny tiny bit defensive.. What can we say? We are all cut from the same cloth, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.. Baby, we were BORN this way! (Etc etc) As always, it is totally NOT our fault!

This week we talk to Sonya about all of the crazy pressure that is the rollercoaster of being in PA school. While spending most of her life avoiding labeling it, she has finally come to terms that she sometimes has anxiety. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of anxiety and ways to cope with the workload and use that stress as fuel to work hard instead of shut down. We aren't quite sure if this one is all on dad, but he sure didn't help! Follow us on Instagram: @__daddy.issues Follow us on Twitter: @__daddyissues

We hope to keep your attention better than we keep Karl's as she falls asleep halfway through the episode!! Follow us on Instagram: @__daddy.issues Follow us on Twitter: @__daddyissues

We are kicking off our FIRST guest episode with the baby of the family. Karl (her reluctant nickname) recently started therapy, we discuss how that's going and how being an introvert is totally Dad's fault.. & maybe a little bit ours? Karl was also much younger when we had our blended family, so while memories are shared, our experiences are wildly different, shocking developments are made as we finally give baby sis the mic (we only interrupt her like, a few times..)

In this week's episode we talk about the root of why Sonya works so hard in school but has a serious case of imposter syndrome. Since her childhood school has always been a huge identifying trait for her, what happens when it becomes unhealthy? How do we nurture something that is a very huge part of us but not allow it to determine our self worth? Y'all are gonna need to pray over us because as per usual, we are a MESS! Thanks Dad.

This week we try to discover when the rebellion truly started for Gloria. It seems pretty clear she was born with it, but Dad for sure solidified it!!
