Hello TOSKERS! We realize we haven't been around for a while and we wanted to let you know what we are up to. So first things first, we do need to let you guys know that we have decided not to make any more episodes of The Oh S**t Kit podcast.

Truly, we adore doing it, but it's been tricky now that we're not living together and we both now have our own businesses!! Plus, we would like the time we spend together to be just enjoying each other's company instead of working.

We are so proud of what we created! The episodes will stay up so please do continue to use them in your tool kit!

With that being said, we wanted to let you know where you can find us as we are both still doing mental health advocacy work!!

🤯 HOLY FU***NG FRIDAY! We can't believe we have had 3500 downloads!! We appreciate EVERY SINGLE ONE of you for showing up for us. Thank you for listening and commenting and liking and sharing and all the things. Truly, what we do isn't possible and wouldn't be fun without you guys. We love you!

It hasn't always been possible to bring you content as often as we would like, because we are learning how to juggle all the things as well as manage our own mental health. But just know we are here. We see what each and every one of you is going through. Just know you're not alone. In fact you have two loud, sarcastic, mental health warriors walking alongside you at all times.

Let's keep doing the work. Let's keep the conversation going. Let's end mental health stigma once and for all.

Comment with a 🔥 if you're with us!

🙏🙏🙏

EPISODE 36 IS HERE! Exploring Race: A Dialogue with Charles Edward Payne, M, Ed.⁠

We are so excited to welcome Charles Edward Payne to today’s episode where we dive into the topic of race to explore how we move forward in supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and creating real, long-term, lasting change.⁠

Charles is a Certificate Educator and Advocate, and has a Masters of Education in Counseling. He is also a certified teacher, TEDx speaker and a fellow mental health warrior... as well as being a very talented performance poet (you can find his work on our website or on his page we tagged above!)⁠

As two white people running a podcast, we were very conscious that it is our own personal responsibility to educate ourselves on the topic of race, and although that’s very much our mission, when Charles reached out to us to suggest we record this episode together, we jumped at the chance and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with him.⁠

In the episode, we discuss topics such as…⁠

✨ The importance of dialogue and discussion within the white community. ⁠

✨ The importance of longevity, joy and support systems.⁠

✨ Why the changes we see need to be rooted in the mind, body AND soul.⁠

✨ How data can be triggering for the BIPOC community and why it’s also important to look past the numbers.⁠

✨ Navigating in*******al relationships.⁠

We have a huge list of resources curated by Charles for you to dive into so please head to our website at www.theohs**tkitpodcast.com/episode to check it out!

Let’s get to work!⁠

🙏 Always. There is ALWAYS hope. Even when your brain tells you there isn't.

🐾 Hi! My name is Jordie and I am Mandi and Leora's first pup. This was me back in the day when I weighed just 3lbs and my Mumma Leora really struggled with leaving me. Lockdown was the best wasn't it! So much time with the hoomans. I also just got a new big brother and given that he's had so much attention, I thought I would sneak in and say heyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

I know my Mumma is bringing you some podcast goodness all about puppies this week, but I'm a pup who has no idea how to send you to listen to that...
..I am ALWAYS down for new friends though, and would love to see your own puppy photos. Share them with me in the comments??

Hello and happy Monday you guys! We wanted to pop on to let you know we are learning and listening. As two people deeply committed to doing the deep work to understand the world and healing, we are IN THIS. We are leaning into discomfort. We are WITH you. With the movement.

Black Lives Matter. Black mental health matters. Black healing matters. Black trans lives matter. Black LGBTQ lives matter. Diversity, equity and inclusion matter. We are learning how to ally by the VERB. Long term. As part of our business.⁠ We hope you are with us and the rest of the world in fighting to bring systemic racism to it's knees.

More to come. 🙏

GUYS. Our podcast this week is all about getting a puppy. Yas we all know that the cuddles, Insta pics and overall doggy Mama life is the BEST.

And we also know that the adjustment can be really, really tough. There's no shame in finding puppy life hard. Whether that's the lack of sleep, the destroying of your fave cozy slippers or just the general overstimulation if you're not used to puppy energy.

On lockdown, pups were getting adopted left, right and center and we wanted to provide you with an episode that talked you through what you can do to make that initial adjustment feel just that little bit easier.

🐕 We are so excited to bring you a new episode of The Oh S**t Kit Podcast that's all about those new additions we took home during lockdown. 🐶 Who else got a new puppy? Seemed like such a great idea at the time, didn't it. 😉

🙏 The statistics on how many people got new dogs found a home during lock down have been amazing!! But when it comes down to it, regardless of how well behaved they are, there's always an adjustment period where getting a puppy can be really stressful.

🎾 So in an attempt to keep as many pups as possible from being returned to the shelters, we wanted to share the tips and tricks that we have found helpful when bringing a new puppy into our home.
