Chaos Coffee and Community

CoraLyn & Sarah talk about restoring hope. How do you shift from doom & gloom to sunshine & roses? Well, short answer, you don't. But CoraLyn dives into how she's been able to shift her perspective & make different choices to restore her hope amidst an extremely challenging year.

Sarah & CoraLyn talk about abortion...or more accurately, talk about how we talk about abortion within our communities.

Ope! We were so hyped to get chatting we forgot to introduce ourselves. Today CoraLyn & I chatted about presenteeism - what it is, when it shows up in our lives, its pros & cons, and what the heck we should do when we notice it in our lives. Enjoy!

CoraLyn & Sarah talk about making tough decisions - when you HAVE to make a decision & you REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to. Those tough life lessons that you really don't want to, but you know it's right. Power dynamics within relationships, divorce, examining our own complicity. What is right? How do we navigate tough decisions.

CoraLyn & Sarah get “all up in there” & talk about women’s health & gynecology!  When do you go?  What have you been told about gynecology?  What’s a typical period?  Is a gyno really that different from other doc’s?  Do you know that your doctors work for YOU?!! Huge thanks to CoraLyn for sharing about her first experience at a gynecology appointment & all that she learned.

Over the last few years, CoraLyn & Sarah have been learning about antifat bias. CoraLyn asks Sarah TONS of questions & Sarah shares from her own lived experiences as a fat person.

Sarah & CoraLyn discuss victim mentality in the context of intersectional identities & when to use grit or give our emotions some space.

We thought we would talk about how we make our lives easier around our houses, but it spirals into coffee & food reviews of our respective cities: Baltimore & Indianapolis. Enjoy!

Sarah & CoraLyn drink coffee & discuss implicit bias, holding contradictory binaries, & CoraLyn's frat house experiences (with her Mom!)
