AITA:Alene and Kristen chime in!

We went down another reddit rabbit hole and we found some juicy 'Am I The Asshole' stories! And you know us, we absolutely love to give our two cents on any situation so tune in as we discuss charging your kid rent, smashing faces into cakes, your mom posting your ex on socials and more! Tune in to get our thoughts and find out we agree on who the asshole in the situation.     Alene's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/alenedegian/] Kristen's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/kristen.mandala/] Accidental Friends Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/accidentalfriendspodcast/] Accidental Friends TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@accidentalfriends]

Therapy talk needs to chill!

Let's be real, therapy has gained popularity recently – and we love to see people taking care of their mental health! But what comes with it are the therapy terms that are thrown around without actually understanding what they mean. "Boundaries" "trauma" "gaslighting." Now I'm not saying we're perfect because we've definitely used these wrong in the past but we wanted to make this episode to learn a bit more alongside with you!    Alene's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/alenedegian/] Kristen's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/kristen.mandala/] Accidental Friends Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/accidentalfriendspodcast/] Accidental Friends TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@accidentalfriends]

What We Would Say To Our Younger Selves

Unpacking Our *Complicated* Relationship with Food

Diet culture, eat your heart out! We open up about how each of our relationships with food has been in serious flux in the past year. Alene has been exploring the topic with her therapist, and Kristen has decided after eight years to no longer be vegan!   Alene's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/alenedegian/] Kristen's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/kristen.mandala/] Accidental Friends Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/accidentalfriendspodcast/] Accidental Friends TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@accidentalfriends]

I Used To Be Body Positive – What Happened?

We never thought we'd subscribe to the notion that our bodies change once we hit 30. We're going to be young forever, right? Well, Kristen and Alene have definitely seen some changes to their body and they're dishing on it in this week's episode.  If you've listened to past episodes, you know both of us are allll about body positivity and body neutrality but we're finding it difficult these days so we wanted to share our feelings.  We go into advocating for yourself at the doctor, how to trust your gut, and so much more!    Alene's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/alenedegian/] Kristen's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/kristen.mandala/] Accidental Friends Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/accidentalfriendspodcast/] Accidental Friends TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@accidentalfriends]
