SHEILAS & SHENANIGANS

CANNABIS w/ Lauren McCarthy

A couplaaa' cannabis loving Sheilas share their experiences with this wonderful plant healing medicine..

With a history of shame, secrecy and stigma to using the medicine ceremonially as a gateway to spirit and every possible scenario in between.. We discuss our struggles with the cannabis comfort, our first time getting high, how it has supported us in 'doing the work', and its assistance in easing illnesses such as insomnia, physical pain, endometriosis, inflammation, depression, ADHD" and anxiety. We delve into our own internal battles with relying on cannabis as part of a daily routine, we question our own dependancy, attachment and whether or not this means addiction, the comparison between the stigma surrounding 'stoners' in Australia to the cannabis being a standard part of life in the USA, we consider how far the world has come in normalising cannabis as a medicine, how it can be both your vice and best friend, creating boundaries and using with intentions, ceremonial purposes and spiritual practices, the need to create space to integrate, different affects from different strands, the highs of THC and long term benefits of CBD, why sativa and in-daaa-couch have their own objectives, and how to go about finding a specifically unique strand of cannabis that suits your needs with additional benefits of knowing where it was grown, feeling safe and being fully accountable with the help of it being prescribed by professionals in the health industry. Given the countless times Emma passionately says "100%"; this episode will give you all the ahuuuhhhh moments and insight into the reality of someone who is forever grateful to feel cured by cannabis.

THE YEAR THAT WAS

A couple of delusional sheilas share shenanigans about the year that was. From 2020 trends, world events & alternative narratives, we discuss online censorship, the lack of accountability in the Jeffrey Epstein case, Prince Andrews involvement, theories as to why Prince Harry left the Royal Family, the ongoing effects of CO-RONA-VIRUS & personal lessons and blessings experienced throughout the roller coaster of emotions that was an unforgettable time in history. TOODOOLOO FOREVER TWENTY TWENTY!

GIRL TALK

TABOO TOPIC ALERT! The conversation every girl needed with her big sister. From periods to birth control, self-pleasure and personal stories as to why breast and pap smear checks are absolutely necessary; listen up while these Sheilas over share far more than your average shenanigans! 

NOURISH

Have you ever been body shamed for being ‘too skinny’, told to ‘EAT A BURGER’, or guilting of making these judgments yourself? If so, this one is for you. The Sheila’s share their battles with food, fad diets, body dysmorphia, how they had to learn the hard way about what works for them & why we’ve got to NOURISH in order to FLOURISH. 

POTUS 2020

The Sheila's cover issues regarding the 2020 U.S election and ask some controversial questions! What constitutes being called a racist and should voting for Trump automatically make you one? Will anti abortion laws contribute to overpopulation and therefore global warming? From pro life v pro choice to climate change, BLM and conversion therapy; tune in for an hour of political shenanigans power!

#NORAGRETS

Life is full of mistakes that teach us valuable lessons. Yet while some people can simply be told what not to do, the Sheila's share shenanigans about how they learned the hard way. Tune in for a LOL, WTF and (hopefully) words of wisdom as you listen to stories based along the classic lines of “at the time I definitely paid for this but now; #NORAGRETS”.

ADDICTION

What are you powerless over? Whether it’s spending too much time on social media, drinking coffee, smoking marijuana, getting black out drunk or overeating bulk sugar, we all have a tendency to become dependant on substances or actions that reward us with instant gratification. The sheila's break the silence on a taboo topic & reveal the reality of what it’s like to suffer from addiction. It’s uncomfortable, confronting & a must listen! 

BREAKUPS

Break up’s; they suck and there is no rule book on how to: stop the grieving, move on and find the next best thing. Should you remain friends with your ex, unfollow them on social media or jump back into bed with them just to see if things are REALLY over? There are so many questions without any one-size-fits-all answers. So... DISCLAIMER: these sheila’s don’t actually know either, but lucky for you they are willing to explore and reveal all.

DATING

Dating in the 21st century involves endless options. The sheilas share stories about awkward moments, dating apps, how they find themselves living out there parents worst nightmares, and basically every what-not-to-do. DISCLAIMER: no advice is contained in this podcast.

THE DO-OVER

Have you ever wondered; ‘what if’ I could do it differently? The Sheilas talk about life shenanigans, the advice they would give their 13-year-old self, what they did when COVID-19 began, and the difference between powerless and empowered states of FEAR. Are you prone to run or rise?
