type a vs type b personalities, corn culture impacts, childhood trauma & being stuck in between | episode 40

We went to see Hot Department perform at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and it sparked a conversation about nudity in our conservative society and the impacts of corn culture on how we view bodies and intimacy.

Erica opens up about some childhood trauma she's been working through, and following up on last week's pentacles revelation, she talks about how her parents tried to stamp the kooky creative side out of her. It's a vulnerable look at what happens when the parts of you that make you different are treated like something to fix.

Meg talks about being stuck in an in-between phase in her life right now and how she's coping with that uncertainty. Not where she was, not yet where she's going, just existing in the uncomfortable middle.

We also dive into type A and type B personalities, how they show up in our lives and balancing being a go-getter with positive thinking and managing stress levels.

An honest chat between best friends about creativity, trauma, societal expectations, and what it feels like when you're between versions of yourself.
