Trauma In Our Veins

Why We Can Never Forget

Hey Listeners! As a heads-up, there is a trigger warning In this episode, we dive into the Epstein files because we refuse to forget. We will not allow survivors to be silenced. We've heard all of the facts, we've done all the research, we have SEEN the files, but still no one seems to care enough about what WE care about. Ever felt that way? We have, too. So let's talk about why it matters, why we keep reiterating that the Epstein files are important, and why we won't let it go. Dive into perspective and morality with us as we take a look at the world's responses to finding out how gross those in power truly are, and how deep the corruption goes. Afterward, we take a much-needed break to read a really interesting true-crime story because we felt it was inspiring. I hope you do too.

Women of the Regime

Hey listeners, We are back at it again, except this time, we felt like focusing on the women in the regime...by regime, we mean "Trump's regime." So we are sharing some facts and information on the women in power, with a salty twist. Sorry, not sorry. We are so angry. We also think it's important to spread awareness of what is going on behind the scenes. Humans (male or female) are powerful beings. We all need to be mindful of how we use that power, for good or for evil. Not only for ourselves and those who look to us, but for the history we will leave behind. Make no mistake, there are too many powerful men currently who are too willing to allow women to take the fall for their evil decisions. However, we also have women we can look to, and that is where we place OUR faith.

Doom, Gloom, and Chaos

Hey listeners, We know it has been a little bit since our last episode. We are a little behind, but like who isn't? We are sadly back to the real stuff today, as the world's events wait for no one's rest. We are watching the world around us burn and looking for any glimmer we can find while keeping ourselves fully informed and active in spreading awareness. From ICE in the airports to boots on the ground, we will cover several updates and share our concerns. (Some of the comments are a little weird, to be fair. Talking to you, Erica.) We will not be distracted from the issues at hand, but we WILL do our best to make you giggle while we inform you, because if we don't laugh....well, we might scream and/or cry. A lot. We end this episode with some more Reddit.

Break From the Noise: TIOV Reads Reddit part 1

Are you sick of being so serious? So are we! Here, we take a much-needed rest and reprieve from the chaos of current events, and instead focus on some day-to-day drama from the magical world that is Reddit. We enjoyed it so much, we're planning to work some stories into the end of future episodes so we can end on a high note. Let us know if there are any kinds of stories you would like to hear! We are also looking for more guests!

National Infertility Awareness Week Special

Trigger warning: In this episode, there is mention of infertility & miscarriage. April 19-25th is National Infertility Awareness Week, founded by RESOLVE. The purpose of this movement is not only to bring awareness around infertility, but also to change the conversation around infertility. TIOV wanted to highlight this important week because it matters, and it is something near and dear to Maggie’s heart, as she has her own infertility story. This episode was solely recorded by Maggie so that she had the space to explain the importance of infertility awareness, but she also shares her story in hopes that it helps someone else feel less alone.
