Lisa and Shoshana HQ

Shoshana ponders starting her own cult until Lisa explains all the work that goes into one. Do you think you could spot the signs of a cult? After watching HBO's The Vow we've got a pretty big checklist and it’s time to talk about the possible cults we’ve fallen into. ***Send your❓s, your ⁉️s, your ❤️s, and your 💡s to lisaandshoshanahq@gmail.com. Please check out Shoshana's new venture Community OutWitch.... and no, it's not a cult. Yet. 

Trigger Warning: we talk about cults, branding, mind control.

Shoshana has no boundaries and Lisa has walls. In this episodes we're talkin' boundaries, walls, relationships and parenting. How do you know if you suffer from L.O.B. or Lac Aux Boundaries? What's the cure? Does it impact women more than men? All this and more in this episode of Lisa and Shoshana HQ.

“I never meant to cause you any sorrow. I never meant to cause you any pain.” Thank you Prince, but intent and impact just aren't the same. Lisa and Shoshana talk about accountability and how to say you're sorry. We explore the "Anatomy of an Apology" by Rania El Mugammar and we hear some real life apologies including Sarah Silverman to Paris Hilton. We even have a couple sorry's of our own. 

Do you have an apology you need to make? Send us an email or record it and we'll play it in our next podcast. It feels so good to say you're sorry. Besides, I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain... or.... just getting a good nap in.

We read the cards of Kim Krans in this episode. 

Just when you’re feeling like you’re turning a corner and the days are getting brighter and easier, and you’re saying to yourself ‘I just might be getting over that grief mountain!’…you get hit with the unexpected. All of your go-to healing methods lose their meaning because you’re back ‘here’ again. We dig into the Pema Chodren masterpiece When Things Fall Apart to understand her concept of discipline, and how it can help get us to the other side of the mountain.

In this episode we talk about the Somatic retreat we went on and explain how the body holds old trauma. We get down to what is a realistic expectation for forgiving someone and being forgiven ourselves. Lisa even reaches puberty.

Trigger warning: we talk about grief, Garfield, vaccinations and Covid because it's all trending. 

Trigger Warning: We talk, joke and possibly sing about abortion. If joking about abortion upsets you then you might want to skip this episode. It's how we process what we aren't supposed to talk about.

In this episode Lisa tells Shoshana where Canada sits on the history of abortion and how to make your vote count in the upcoming election. When so many of our "heroes" are in question, we talk about why we don't have more reverence for Henry Morgentaler, a true Canadian hero. We explore the first day of school, Texas and John Stamos.

We leave the closet and venture out to the cottage where we talk cookies, compassion and why some people don't want a Covid Vaccine. One of Shoshana's friend's is against the vaccine and we talk about how to talk about it. Lisa remembers Rob Ford, David Miller and her peanut allergy while Shoshana talks about Jaws and liverwurst sandwiches.

The restaurant we refer to in this episode is called Bar Vendetta on Dundas West. Please go eat there and tell them we're happy they wear masks.

Even Rachel Maddow has technical difficulties so we're in good company with our microphone in this episode. The music for our show was written and performed by Maury Lafoy and the editing was done by Shoshana Sperling. If you liked the show please leave a review or share it with a friend. If you didn't, that's ok too. Just find something you really like and don't linger here. Kisses.

In this episode we talk about being single, sex and disassociation. We ask some tough questions about TMJ and Helen Reddy... are you ready? (trigger warning: we talk about sex, swear and make fun of the French)

"A Dream of an Afternoon with a Woman I Did Not Know" by Robert Bly

I woke up, and went out. Not yet dawn.
A rooster claimed he was the sickle moon.
The windmill was a ladder that ended at a gray cloud.
A feed grinder was growling at a nearby farm.
Frost has made clouds of the weeds overnight.
In my dream we stopped for coffee, we sat alone
near a fireplace, near delicate cups
I loved that afternoon, and the rest of my life.

You know that saying about how you should never wake a sleepwalker? In this episode we talk about the 5 ways you can tell you're not living a conscious life, how to wake up and how we've allowed ourselves to stay sleeping even when we knew better. We sing, pull cards and get busy talking about waking up. Do you want to know what's happening in the closet this week?

In this episode we continue where we left off in Shoshana's Covid story. This week in the closet we talk about everything from isolation and heart palpitations, to smoothies, dogs,  Block Parent and Dan Hill.

Shoshana talks about getting Covid from the first symptom to the long haul. We talk about how health care worker are amazing and how it takes a village to combat covid. It sounds terrible but this episode is loaded with laughs, coughs and a touch of Catholic panic.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains lots of medical talk about Covid 19.

You've probably been wondering where we've been and why it's taken so long to get back in the closet. Have we got a story for you .... someday.
