We are on a brief pause so we can truly help ourselves but because we didn't want to leave you hanging with ZERO content, we are offering a re-release of one of our favorite episodes we previously recorded. Enjoy and see you soon!2023-03-011h 19We Can't Help OurselvesPsychics: Critical Thinking is KINGBuckle up, Helpers--in what might be the ladies' most unhinged episode yet, we quickly learn we do not need a pet psychic to know Maggie's dog farted in the recording studio. Maggie and Danielle also embark on a winding discussion about their own psychic experiences, why people in more marginalized communities might gravitate toward psychics, and how the industry has the potential to be exploitative. Also discussed: Teal Swan, encounters with ghosts, aliens, and the people who refuse to believe in them (you know who you are).
