Freudian Sips

Hello, Sipsters! This week, Anna and Bonnie are doing an overview of the different types of anxiety, from general to social and everything in between. Should Anna be drinking after passing out? Will ‘having symptoms about it’ become a thing? Will Anna finally win a game of Make Mom Leave the Table? Listen to find out!

This one gets kinda gross, y’all. This week, Anna and Bonnie are chatting about Munchausen syndrome, where someone fakes an illness for attention or comfort. This includes Munchausen syndrome by proxy, such as the fascinating story of Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose Blanchard!

This week, Anna and Bonnie are talking about 65% of how we express ourselves: nonverbal communication! Everything from how we sound to how we move. Did you know that there are 10,000 facial expressions? Neither did Bonnie! Did you know legs could also be pretzels? Neither did Anna!

In their 10th episode, Anna and Bonnie are celebrating a fellow mother-daughter duo, Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, who created the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Grab your boxed wine (otherwise known as ESFJ) and listen in as Bonnie tries to keep Anna from saying some kind of ‘f’ word!

We finally did an episode that’s less than an hour long! This week, Anna and Bonnie are chatting about Ivan Pavlov, pioneer of classical conditioning. They even have a themed drink: the salty dog! This is appropriate, considering that the dogs in this story have good reason to be salty. Tune in to hear the gals chat about weird dog stuff, explain how conditioning relates to trauma, and use very dumb accents.

It’s part two of their dream-focused two-parter, and Anna and Bonnie are feeling the boxed wine pretty hard. This time they’re talking about various dream theories, what the brain does while we dream, and some weird sleep disorders. Let yourself be lulled to sleep this week by the hosts’ soothing (AKA loud and giggly) voices.

In the first part of their first two-parter, Anna and Bonnie are talking about dreams. Grab some warm milk and go tuck yourself in, because there's lots to cover! The girls are starting by chatting about the historical context of dreams, some so-called hidden dream meanings, and some of their own weird dreams.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Anna and Bonnie were on the road for a conference, but they still took time to talk about the science behind some interesting drinking facts, including how drinking affects your brain and if ‘breaking the seal’ is a real thing. Buckle up, because this episode includes a lot of brain talk and some serious PSA moments.

This week, Anna and Bonnie talk about PHONIES! No they’re not talking about you… or are they? No, they’re talking about themselves and anyone else who suffers from Impostor Syndrome. Listen as the gals normalize feeling like a fraud, Bonnie gets the giggles, and Anna shares her feelings on research. (Don’t worry, researchers, she really does love you!)

In honor of their monthiversary episode, Anna and Bonnie have shots before recording, drink boxed wine, and talk about theorist Carl Jung and all his wacky ideas. Listen in shock and awe as the gals pretend to know what they’re talking about and Anna explains some nerdy archetypes.

This week, Anna and Bonnie are talking about phobias. Listen as the gals talk about common and offbeat phobias, the causes and treatments, and their own irrational fears. Also as Bonnie gets increasingly angry about the weird names of various phobias and decides to rename them herself.

This week, Bonnie and Anna talk about the Five Love Languages and how to keep your love tank full, until the phrase 'love tank' starts making them uncomfortable. Featuring surprise guests Bobcat Goldthwait and Bird Stuck in Anna's Wall, so excuse the scritchy-scratches you hear during the talky bits.

Anna and Bonnie could only start a podcast called Freudian Sips one way: by talking about Sigmund Freud himself. So grab your drink of choice and join our hosts as they cover the good, the bad, and the weird sex stuff in the inaugural episode!
