It can’t be a coincidence that Netflix dropped Love is Blind season 3 the same week as Ciara’s procedure. Doctors ordered her to take it easy, so we obliged by giving you guys a chill catch up episode covering one of our favorite reality shows and giving you all the hot juicy goss from the week. Spoiler alerts for Love is Blind season 3 and the juicy goss involving Jeri dropping her pants at Ciara’s appointment.
TW- for negative body image, disordered eating, pregnancy loss

So excitedddddd
Tip for Starbucks drinks. Ask if they can put the drink in a bigger size when you add whip and they’ll use a flat lid.
ciara you look fuckin BANGING today, grey suits you gal!!!
LOVE YOU TOO 😂❤
Ciara, the blood pooling in your legs part is SO REAL! Both of you have had vaginal births, but for c-sections, they put these cuffs around your legs for the first 12 hours that massage them like a cat kneading biscuits, specifically for that reason! It keeps the blood flowing properly while your anesthesia is wearing off and your body is regulating. So cool, but SO strange to think about!
Ciara nice chin!!
You guys should do an episode reading listener stories about elective/cosmetic surgeries! I know personally my surgery changed my life and gave me so much happiness and freedom in my body ❤️
OMG! I feel the same way about him! I was screaming at her to run!!
jeri's hair is killing it in this episode i love it
Ooooo Ciara one of my biggest insecurities is my chin too. It always has been. It’s genetic unfortunately and you’re making this procedure very tempting 👀
Hey ladies. I first off want to say how much I love listening to and watching y'alls podcast. Y'all always make me smile and I've learned alot from yall. I want to say thank you for this podcast cause I'm trying to get my top surgery finished paid off so that I can get my breast removed. I'm a trans and have been wanting to do this for a long time. I still have a bit to go with getting paid off, but it's goin to be so rewarding once I do cause I can finally be me on the outside as I am on the inside. You ladies are amazing and I love how real you both are and accepting as well. I look forward for Tuesdays just to catch your podcast while I work
Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one who had no idea what Alexa's dad was referring to with the knives lmaoo
Ciara petting Mosby during the love is blind recap/convo was giving me major ASMR vibes. I guess I need to sneak watch Love is Blind while my partner is at work
I’m actually surprised you guys were so on Cole’s side for things and didn’t mention his subtle racism jabs or his manipulation from the very beginning with comments like “I don’t like you when you’re mad” and invalidation of Zay’s feelings. Also the absolute gaslighting coming from Cole, Bartise, and Matt is off the charts. Kind of disappointed in your take on LIB tbh and surprised.
Will you guys post before and after pictures (if you're comfortable)? Just out of curiosity and to remove the stigma of 'having work done'.
I know that this is an oversimplification – but when men bought boob jobs for their wives/girlfriends/sugar babies, nobody was mad about it. But when women bought their own plastic surgery for their own enjoyment and comfort with their own bodies, people decided that was unhinged behavior. Men also get elective cosmetic surgeries and I cannot recall a single big media splash about that, but I feel like my childhood was littered with a background newsreel of which actress got what done when… when l certainly didn't care at that age and I shouldn't have been forced to be aware of how the media views women's bodies & autonomy. The only opinions about any surgical procedure that matter are the patient's and the medical team's. Loved one's opinions only matter if the patient thinks those opinions matter, and the general public needs to mind their business. Anywayyyy – I'm so proud of you both and so appreciative of your openness about your decision process in regards to Ciara's surgery (happy healing!!! 💜), and Jeri's upcoming surgery.
With all the love in the world please make sure birdie doesn’t jump a lot or run on hard payment until about a year old I did the same jumping thing with my pup and now she has hip dysplasia at two years old
Omg I am waiting for the new episode of LIB tomorrow!!!
you deserve to do whatever it takes to love yourselves!!!!!!
The unholy rage I felt when Jeri was listing off things ppl had said about her body, specifically her smile, made me wanna fight God himself, or a whole army 😡😂 I LOVE your genuine smile! Both of you ladies’ smiles. Please never change that or feel def conscious bc ur smiles make me smile ❤
To be fair, where else does one get bukake-ed?
Why yes I did watch the entire season in one day so I could watch this and know what’s going on
I worked an 11 hour shift today. Thank you for keeping me company in the bathtub as I relax 🤣
TW: loss (please do not read if you can't)
I lost my pregnancy/son this summer. My cervix failed and I prolapsed my membranes and there was nothing we could have done. I held him his entire life and one of the only things he ever did was snuggle into me. I declined to do any testing but I later found out that what likely happened was there was a life altering internal abnormality and his body released hormones to terminate things. It feels weird to say but I'm almost grateful that he made that choice for me? I was 18 weeks along and I don't know what I would have done had we gotten those results at the anatomy scan 2 weeks later. I feel like it was meant to happen and my doctor knows ways to prevent it next time (which was a huge consideration for us before trying again because we have a toddler and I almost didn't survive the loss due to blood loss.) And I am so grateful that I was able to access the immediate medical procedures needed and that there was no shame or roadblocks in the way. I strongly believe that these choices need to be accessible and the only people that really get an opinion on it (in my opinion) are the people in the room. I don't know everyone's story but I know mine and the compassion and care I received that weekend made it so much less traumatic than it could have been. My doctors did everything they could and took genuine care of me and thought I hope that no one ever goes through what I went through, I hope that anyone who does receives the same care that I did.
This is why I never have to watch love island, oh btw it’s about 46 min in. Lol love you ladies!
Not me watching lion king 2 after this wondering why I felt the random urge 😭💀
when Jeri said, wanna come over for a human night, I literally snorted rice out my nose LOL
I don't watch love is blind.. but I fuckin love this, so cozy🥰
Ok, also. For EPISODES I've been wondering who that drawing is on the shelf and I'm just now realizing that it very well might be Cory 🙃
i understand zanab getting upset at the bipolar question, and the way cole asked was wrong (laughing as he asked, almost making it seem like he was joking), but as someone with bpd, i was truly wondering the same thing. she VERY OFTEN was answering questions normally, and then would start saying loving things in a tone that sounded like she was fighting. i did a lot of the things that she did in conversations with my husband before i started medication for bpd. i think if he would have asked more genuinely, maybe prefaced it by saying “i’m not trying to be rude or diagnose you, but do you think you could be bipolar?”. but he quite literally could not ask her ANYTHING without her taking it wrong and answering passive aggressively. i have a hard time being on zanab’s side in this
Got to say I’ve never watched any of the shows you talk about but I could listen to you ladies talk about them FOR HOURS😂♥️
I feel like, and this is by no means a criticism of the surgery, that people who can have surgery are lucky (? Privileged? Not sure what the right word is here) because they're able to afford it!
I would love to get surgery on my stomach, arms and face to make myself feel better about looking in the mirror. I currently avoid it and only have 2 mirrors in my home and one is in my bathroom shut away aha. It doesn't matter how many compliments I receive because I basically just don't believe them or think they're lying to me/making fun of me. Traumaaaaa. insert jazz hands here
However, I also have a chronic skin condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (or HS if you struggle to say it or spell it lol) where large abscesses grow under your skin and leave scars. Depending on which stage you have, the abscesses can tunnel under the skin to create multiple and it is extremely painful. That adds more to my body shame.
Ladies, if you ever see this (highly doubt you will), can you please please please do an episode on HS/skin conditions and break the stigma? HS is more common than you're told, regularly misdiagnosed (often being told people have STIs etc and people are made to feel dirty), it's misunderstood and significantly under researched.
Spreading awareness of HS has been huge for me since I was diagnosed around 13 years ago (I'm almost 27). This disease will never go away and is something I am going to have to fight this for the rest of my life. I would like that life to be able to discuss it openly without feeling like some dirty, flea ridden leper.
Sorry for the long comment but I do love you both and super happy you're finding ways to feel more confident and powerful!
Also, I'm English so happy to chat and answer any questions so you can hear the accent, I know you love it hahahahaha!
I love the quote about peoples stance on abortion that goes “ if it’s between other people it’s none of my business and if its about me and is my business then it’s none of yours“
