Fancy (We Are)

In this episode, Jana and Katie talk about the word "crazy," and how it is often attributed to women who are unconventional, fierce, or stand up to an oppressive power structure. Yet don't we have to be a little crazy to make fundamental change and have great impact on the world? Also, when you use the word "crazy," do you express it differently for women vs. men? Listen in and discover "good crazy," "bad crazy," and dance to the Gnarls Barkley song "Crazy," while getting a little mental health education at the same time. Also subscribe to updates on MadameRose.org, a visionary effort toward healing through art, spiritual awareness, and community--as well as a celebration of feminine nature. It's about damn time, as Lizzo would say! :)

In this episode, Katie and Jana discuss the intersections of religion, spirituality, government, and both conscious and unconscious messages around men's and women's status in America related to the recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Who is this Jesus character, and is he responsible for the subjugation of women in society, since Christianity and Catholicism have become aligned with movements that prevent women having jurisdiction over their lives and bodies? Jana also shares about her experience working in schools, a spiritual path of grappling with the intersection of sacredness and sexuality, navigating the complexities of Catholicism, losing custody of her children related to teaching them sex education, and a foundational book that started her deep dive into these topics, "The Meaning of Mary Magdalene" by Cynthia Bourgeault. 

What does "home" mean to you? What does "family" mean? Does it mean blood relations, or people of like minds and hearts? We explore this topic with one member of Virgo Love Podcast moving into a new house and home, and the other in transition, between worlds. Learn more about Madame Rose, a new vision for building community and healing through honoring mothers and children of all ages looking for a safe and creative, nurturing space. www.madamerose.org 

We are the thing. Talking money, society, racism, sexism, and how you get some to give some, or give some and get some, who the hell knows? Just listen and be inspired. Also, songs by Junglepussy and Leikeli47, a brief review of the 90s film Jerry Maguire, and the miracle of Lizzo in a world that tries to beat black women down. This may be the most important podcast episode you ever listened to in your entire life. Get off Reditt and come to God. Goddess, that is. 

Jana and Katie discuss the television and movies that were foundational to their upbringing, and what a film or television series has the power to do to help humanity. This is worth a listen!

We talk about the intersection of "wild women" and teeth. What do your teeth look like? Do you appreciate them, and celebrate them daily? Should we become a band called The Experience Dentistry Project look? If we do, we plan to cast sometimes-actor and environmentalist Adrian Grenier as the French dental hygienist, or receptionist, who wears a maid's costume and offers dental patients shortbread cookies. Would he accept this role in a music video? We aren't paying anything for it. Also, we go on too long listening and rating songs about teeth by Lady Gaga, Lorde, Topaz Jones and a children's singer, Raffi. Then we put Whitney Houston song lyrics to poetry and wrap up this whole shebang. It is weird and wild and unique, and you should listen if you have a long car ride or something like that. 

What does mind control of a cat, Iggy Azalea, and feeding the poor in Paris have in common? This podcast! Virgo Love! We talk about popular songs with "Fancy" in the title--from Iggy Azalea, Drake, Walker Hayes, and a real Fancy Man, Bruno Mars. (Whoot! Come on over to this porch, Mr. Molasses!) We witness a beloved cat go out into the wild and come back again, and discuss the power of a fashion brand that we just made up on air. It is Fancy Grunge. It is Grunge Chic. It is FancyBrand. Get your butt in the car or the kitchen and start listening to our fancy, raw and real podcast. We're up and coming, and lawdy, it's a beautiful Earth Day. Tweet tweet. 

In this episode, Katie and Jana discuss yoga philosophy as well as "bitch-slapping" and decorum in Hollywood with special guest and expert, Dr. Betta BeHayve. You may not yet have heard of Dr. BeHayve--she is a new "expert" who may or may not really exist in the light of day. You decide if she's worth her salt! Also, do you agree with these scenarios of how to manage your temper when you want to slap someone? And enjoy our latest segment, "In Family Law."

In this first episode of Virgo Love Podcast, Etc., best friends, Virgos, and moms from the east and west coast discuss how they met, what the dynamic of their friendship is, and the movies, television, and music of their 90s college days.
