What I Didn't Tell My Therapist

Episode 7 - End of Summer Freakout and Other Fabbo Fails

This is an episode about POLITICS, SOCIAL MEDIA and other STUFF that makes both Haley and Liza crazy, like talking about politics and the modern world with family when you don't exactly see eye 2 eye.   A little recap on the last Debate warming up for the next - Do we really want to be forced into choosing a candidate before we are ready? The primaries so many months away? Especially those virgin voters out there?  Shouldn't they be given a chance to get to know the candidates before they pop their political cherry? A sidebar on #Marianne Williamson whom they both agree is a candidate whose candidacy is grounded in a deep knowledge of American History & grounded morality, yet is maligned and misrepresented by the media.   A sidebar on Misogyny in politics leads to  Kavanaugh - and his  member-swinging days of yore.  The main question being does he STILL refer to farting as BOOFING?   And HOW would any political discussion be complete without a discussion on how Social Media has been dividing us as a country?  Liza has discovered that her Twitter addiction can serve as a window into learning how to deal with conflicts.  How she has been able to transform a rabidly aggressive twitter banter with digitalized foes into a digitalized friendship.  Do I hear the angels singing? And THEN it gets personal with Haley sharing her SECRETS on how to make peace with Right-leaning and Religious parents if you are a lefty-loosey! And THEN it gets MORE personal with Liza making a BIG REVEAL on how her Midwestern and selectively racist family came to accept her Secret past identity.  You want to know, you know you do! And of COURSE there is more --- you know like - Why do White people claim to be chronically color-blind?   Or When does a VP get to announce to the White House staff on behalf of our FIRST WOMAN President, " Put your D--- s away there is a LADY in the HOUSE!"

Episode 6 - I am LEFT and My family is RIGHT?

So five shows into the podcast, Haley Novander and Liza Davis are reveling in the advantages of maintaining their anonymity in the creative world.  The struggles they have in their lives has NOTHING to do with their creative lives which allows them to do whatever the "F" they want on the pod and have a blasty-blast and introducing their alter egos - Heckler & PigDog.   So in the theme of making and breaking rules - the show starts with the Auto-tuned song -  I Don't Need Tha-tha- Therapy by Haley Novander with Liza Davis accompanying.   Then they launch in without any introductions.  Wha-what?

Other topics covered:  Figuring out how to balance "leaning into the joy" of creativity but still charge what you are worth IF the creativity starts being a source of money.  And women are not always the best at promoting their full worth to the world;  Dealing with Haters in Social Media; This is That: Patanjali's Yoga Sutras Padas 1 & 2 by Anand Mehrotra -  Liza stumbles a bit remembering the title of the book she is loving right now;How to make extreme lifestyle changes in a sustainable way, a.k.a.

Episode 4 - Teamwork makes the Circle Jerk (feat. Roxanne Manders)

Episode 3 - Season 1 Liza is having a rough week, and Haley and special guest Ta-amy are here to save the day.  Sometimes a stream of unadulterated nonsense is JUST ENOUGH to remind you why living isn't such a bad thing.  This is a moment where you are best of THROWING out all your LEFT brain nitpickins and literalisms  (they will only make you suffer in the long run) for the duration of the show.  Random Ta-amy truths are shared like her elaborate vision of the start of EVERYTHING, how to pursue dreams when you are "dead inside" and her REVULSION with soup.  Ta-amy asks Liza, "What is WRONG with you?"  Liza doesn't know where to start on an answer that could be epic.  But at the END of the day the nonsense of mirth has won the fight against the nonsense that got Liza down in the doldrums. Intro Song -  I Don't Want Anybody's Help when I Think of My Poor Mental Health is sung by Haley Novander accompanied by Roxanne Mander's magical Ukulele and Electric Bass stylings.   If you enjoy a giggle or two, sandwiching life wisdoms on how to JUST BE whether you are a fan of yourself or not, please find us on on your favorite Podcast platform and SUBSCRIBE, dammit, SUBSCRIBE.  You help give this podcast for a reason for opening it's eyes and greeting the day with hope and promise!  And even BETTER if you give us a Fabulous rating - we will digitally kiss your feet!  We will give shout OUTS  to the most deserving of REVIEWS!   And if you want even MORE than this podcast you can  EMAIL US ---   widtmtpodcast@gmail.com   (And yes, we just realized that Haley gave the wrong email address at the end of the show --- so maybe we don't REALLY want you to write us after all?  Sorry not sorry about our imperfections.  This TRULY is a work in progress!

Episode 3 - How You Dress Your Robot & Other Pressing Concerns (feat. Tammy Babylonia)

In a desperate attempt to create a trailer BEFORE the launch, Liza calls Haley on the phone for help!  After hours of listening to her recorded awkwardness, Liza is a bit hysterical, but in a good way.  Haley is all business and forges ahead with the task and guides haplessly hopeless Liza in a task that should be the simplest of all.  But isn't it always the case, that when something SHOULD be easy, it often is ABSOLUTELY not? Coming to you 3 hours following the 2 am launch of the first 3 episodes on July 4th - is the trailer of what you would have already seen IF you had been waiting and expecting the launch.  In these moments of flailing incompetency, Liza is resting easy in their anonymity.  She dreams of a day, when they will be FULLY recognized for their lack of talent and skills, but that notoriety has not yet arrived.   Someday both Liza and Haley will have achieved their dreams in spite of mental health challenges and numerous life obstacles.  Come along for the ride as they share their love for self-help survival strategies, comedy and creativity that has gotten them this far!   If you enjoy a giggle or two, sandwiching life wisdoms on how to JUST BE whether you are a fan of yourself or not, please find us on on your favorite Podcast platform and SUBSCRIBE, dammit, SUBSCRIBE.  You help give this podcast for a reason for opening it's eyes and greeting the day with hope and promise!  And even BETTER if you give us a Fabulous rating - we will digitally kiss your feet!  We will give shout OUTS  to the most deserving of REVIEWS!   And if you want even MORE than this podcast you can  EMAIL US ---   widtmtpodcast@gmail.com    Instagram us ---- @WhatIDidntTellMyTherapist      https://www.instagram.com/whatididnttellmytherapist/  Tweet us @WhatTherapist   https://twitter.com/WhatTherapist  (Yeah, we know what it looks like...retroactive oops) Sending out LOVE and PRISHeeation for reading the shownotes! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/widtmtpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/widtmtpodcast/support

Episode 2 - Grumpitude to Gratitude (feat. Paul Wong)

Episode 1  - Season 1  In the Spring of 2017 both Haley Novander & Liza Davis had a dream.  It was both humble, to create a podcast, and ambitious for two semi-professional procrastinators.  In the summer of 2017  they started recording the first episode on the roof of Liza's house, because the view was good but tragically the incorrectly set sound levels only recorded muffled laughter, the clinking of wine glasses, speed boat motors in the distance, and the cameo appearance of Ms. Meep, Liza's cat.  False start #1  Time mysteriously passed, as it does.  In the Fall of 2017 - they made another go of it, in Haley's bedroom at her parent's house, with a sign on her door in CLEAR SHARPIE CAPS reading : "Recording in Progress."  The recording began with great hopes.  The recording was interrupted, by a knock on Haley's door.  Her Mom had momentarily forgotten to read.  False #2 Was all LOST?  Haley and Liza thought so.  Time mysteriously passed, AGAIN. It is the Spring of 2019, the dream has haunted both Haley and Liza for years.  What happened to the lost tapes? Could they give it the "third-time is a charm" go?  They pinky-swear to fully commit to their shared dream of podcasting and entering the ring of thousands,  starry-eyed and self-esteem slightly askew.    In May 2019 - The lost tapes of False Start #2 are found in the decrepit files of Haley's old-model Apple computer.  They listen to them with wild-eyed wonder.  They aren't half bad, in fact they fancy them to be more than 50 per cent good! "Good enough," they cry and devise a mad-cap plan to create an INTRO in the present day to answer the age-old mystery  of  "Why don't we all follow through with our dreams in a timely manner?"  THEN to segue into an edited montage of the lost tapes of Fall 2017.  And close with an OUTRO of some  nauseating self-congratulations, you as a poddie have come to hate and love from all the creators that have every dared to create.  If we don't love our "stuff" who will?!  We swear our "stuff"smells like roses, or at least daffodils!  New Beginnings #1 Intro Song - There was a Time I Got (fill in the blank) is sung by Haley Novander & Liza Davis.  Ukulele strummings by Haley.
