Are they getting enough attention? Will they feel less important? Do they resent their sibling's conditions? These questions haunt us during late-night hospital stays and therapy appointments.What we rarely discuss, though, is the remarkable beauty that emerges in these siblings' lives.

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 37: The Fern LivesThe time is here, dearest friends. Today marks the day of Before The Fern Dies' last episode. We spend these last 40 minutes reflecting on BTFD and her growth from a wee two-leafed sprout to a thriving Jurassic ostrich fern. And my what a journey it has been. We are so grateful to have had this enchanting experience with one another and all of you. We might be stepping out of BTFD, but we are also stepping into something new. The seeds have been planted, and the roots are taking hold...we cannot WAIT to share with you all what...2021-09-1241 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 36: Eco ANXIETY!How does the state of the Earth make us feel? More like how DOESN'T the state of the Earth make us feel! Eco anxiety is defined by the American Psychological Association as “the chronic fear of environmental cataclysm that comes from observing the seemingly irrevocable impact of climate change and the associated concern for one's future and that of next generations” ... yikes. In this episode, we're stirring up the hot, gloopy soup of emotions that climate change fills our queasy little guts with. The anxiety, the rage, the fear, the hope(?), all of it. What can we do...2021-08-301h 09

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 35: Hot and Bothered (Pt. 2)It has been quite a strenuous journey, but we **somehow** made it to the end and decided on our ultimate babe. Catch us once more swearing, steaming, and high-pitch squealing in this second installment of Hot and Bothered to find out just who that babe is. WARNING: (________) is really hot. 2021-08-051h 17

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 35: Hot and Bothered (Pt. 1)Let’s just get right to the point–this episode is about hot stuff. More specifically? Hot fictional characters that we discuss in the most ridiculous ways. We bracket the shit out of these hottie-patottie-tamales march madness style, and we’ve just got SO much to say about it that we broke it into two parts. Part one encompasses our first four pairings and the arguments for/against the HoTTeST of the two. For part two, you will just have to wait until next week!2021-07-3050 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 34: Kill BikinisSummer is in full swing, and so is our annual bombardment of bikini anxiety. With it comes a conundrum. How do we compromise this desire for the perfect body, with the drive to be perfect, radically self-accepting feminists? As is often the case, we got some inspiration from Fleabag and the question posed in season 1: "Would you trade five years of your life for the so-called perfect body?" Our answer to that question, plus a history lesson on wool wetsuits, nude beach horror stories, and more in Episode 34: Kill Bikinis. Follow us on Instagram! BTFD...2021-07-2654 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 33: H.A.G.S.You all remember it well- the hallmark yearbook signature H.A.G.S. (Have A Great Summer). But what really makes “a great summer”?

Tune in this week for a discussion on ice cream, nostalgia, and just a great ass Summer.2021-07-1553 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 32: Summertime SADnessSummertime SADness: it's not just a Lana song, people! Summer is upon us and we... are less than stoked. Turns out, there's a name for this feeling: S.A.D. As in seasonal affective disorder. AKA, seasonal depression. AKA, the thing that is currently ruining our lives.

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 31: A Farewell To SpringAs the end of Spring nears and we transition into Summer- we lasses are in need of a wee break. We have been a little off the podcast train the last couple of weeks and have made the official decision to end this season a little earlier than intended! As we wrap up with this episode, we divulge our Outlander obsession (fair warning: this takes up a large majority of the episode) and attempt to make sense of Spring 2021. We love you all and look forward to making our Summer BTFD season but until then-take it easy...2021-05-1850 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 30: My Octopus Teacher (Before the FILM Dies)In the inaugural episode of Before the FILM Dies (our pod within a pod), we laugh, cry, and cry some more about My Octopus Teacher - the Academy Award/BAFTA/so many other awards-winning documentary about Craig Foster and the incredible relationship he builds with an octopus.

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 29: A Very Vegan VepisodeWhat better way to celebrate Earth Day 2021 than with our long-awaited vegan sales pitch! But it’s not quite what you think… In this episode of Before the Fern Dies, we talk not only about the factors that sparked our interest in going plant-based, but also think critically about the accessibility of veganism and how conscious consumption is key. This is a juicy one, so grab your carrots and hummus and settle in for this very vegan episode!2021-04-231h 06

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 28: Sowing SeedsThe suns out, the birds are tweet-a-leeting, and we are RED-EEE to break out the gardening gloves and get our hands in that sweet, nourishing dirt. In episode 28, you can expect to hear some gardening resources and tips from some very newbie seedwomen…but it would not be BTFD without a lengthy discussion about how taking care of our seeds, plants, and gardens is intertwined with our mental health and spirituality. *bonus* stick around until the very end to hear some fast facts about squirting seeds.2021-04-1458 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 27: Womanhood (Part 2)In Womanhood Part 1, Ashlyn and Wendy shared their journeys getting diagnosed with PCOS and PMDD. So... now what? In the final installment of this mini series, Ashlyn and Wendy dive deeper into the emotional soup of their women's health journey. How are they feeling in the wake of their diagnoses? How does this affect their perception of their own womanhood? Who is this opossum that walks by Ashlyn's window and WHAT COSMIC MESSAGE DO THEY HAVE TO BRING US???2021-04-0649 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 26: Womanhood (Part 1)Ahhh spring time. A time of tiny baby animals, tiny baby flowers, and tiny baby meltdowns about tiny babies and the systemic pressure on women to A) have a one-dimensional experience of womanhood, and B) be picture-perfect makers of those aforementioned tiny babies. In Part 1 of this two-parter, Ashlyn and Wendy share their recent journeys being diagnosed with PCOS and PMDD, and all the ways it's making them rethink their views on what womanhood means.2021-04-0344 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 23: A Farewell To WinterAs Winter comes to an end, so must season 2 of Before The Fern Dies. In this episode, we bid our farewell to the cold season (well, cold for some) by checking in with the intentions we set at the beginning of the season, discussing what we will miss about dear ol’ Winter and gettin’ bubbly about Spring. We have a lot to look forward to in the bloomy season- but for now, we would like to appreciate the gifts Winter gave us and give a proper BTFD goodbye.

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 22: Self Love is Hard (Sometimes)The title says it all, friends: Self love is hard. BUT... not all the time? We had a really peppy eppy planned about our self love journeys, but honestly we just weren't feeling it.

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 20: The Stars KNOWIt was always written in the stars that we'd do an Astrology episode... or was it? In the historic 20th episode of Before the Fern Dies, we tackle some of the big questions: Do the stars really decide who we are and where we're going? Are we cosmically attracted to certain types of people? And the most important question of all... WHAT ARE OUR SIGNS???2021-02-0655 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 19: M.M.M (Me Must Meditate)Last week we took a scenic journey along our life paths together.

In this episode, we're revealing what the first half of the meditation's twists and turns symbolize about our futures, and putting on our therapist hats to interpret what our psyches were trying to tell us (although we probably should call our actual therapists about some of it...). Stay tuned for Part 3, where we'll conclude this wild jaunt into the land of visualization!2021-01-2150 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 15: MINISODE "We're Tired"We check in with each other this week about what has transpired within the last few days in terms of the upcoming presidential inauguration. To put it simply- a coup. A god damn domestic terrorist attack on American democracy and its people by a violent group of white supremacists.

Blessed be. 2021-01-1218 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 8: Taking Stalk This Harvest Moon (another not so mini mini ep)We are kicking off this spooky season with a mini (not so mini) episode on the harvest moon. Traditionally, the harvest moon lit up the night for the arrival of Autumn and illuminated the fields for farmers to begin to harvest this year's crops. We would say our gardens are pretty full, but we tried to limit it to a 25 minute conversation. We hope you will join us in thinking about what we want to shed and what we want to harvest this season. 2020-10-0629 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 6: On AllyshipWe want to be the best allies to the Black Lives Matter movement that we can possibly be, and that takes learning, unlearning, and lots of discomfort and mistakes. In this episode, we share some of the biggest lessons we've learned along the way. While we believe it's important for everyone to have meaningful conversations about systemic racism, Black voices are the most important, and it's their lead that we need to follow. Here are the people we mention in this particular episode: Alishia McCullough - @blackandembodied Ayana Gabrielle Lage - @ayanagabriellelage 2020-09-2227 min

Before the Fern DiesEpisode 1: It's LitIn this episode, Ashlyn and Wendy reflect on their time as Literature/Creative Writing majors at UCSD - a time of all-nighters, questionable roommate wanted ads, and existential crises. They read the thesis statements from some of their old papers and ask themselves the age-old question: Do I regret my major?2020-08-1946 min
