Happy Wednesday!! a quick note: we had an audio issue from 0:20-2:15, feel free to skip ahead if you’d like. + pls comment your woo girl minute on the comments below!💛🥰
Woo girl moment; I'm finally leaving a job that I have absolutely hated and has made me become so depressed taking my mental health to the lowest its ever been. But I did the job for money, and it helped pay the bills. But now after moving in with my best friend for a while just to regroup, I'm moving away from this jobs location so officially quitting!!! I dont have a new job lined up, but so happy to work on my mental health now after quitting this role. It's time to focus on me again this year!!
Kovu from The Lion King 2, more specifically…his voice. Got tripped out when I was a little older and started watching Boy Meets World and the voice actor (Jason Marsden) was in a few episodes playing as Eric’s friend. I kept thinking to myself “that voice 😳😏” this was waaayy before IMDb and I could research who the actors were etc 😂
All right so…it’s a collective experience to have loved Zac Efron in HSM but actually falling in love with him in Hairspray…? I feel part of a community now 😂
As a bi I have some more honourable mentions: Jade and Beck from victorious, Hook and Emma from Once Upon a Time, Darcy and Lizzie from Pride and Prejudice
Truly loved this episode. As someone who experienced sexual trauma as a young child, my "sexual awakening" was forced on me. All those feelings of reading that spicy passage or seeing a love scene was entangled with deep feelings of fear mixed with the normal feelings you should experience as you grow through this. I've been working so hard in therapy to heal from this trauma, and in the past this episode would have triggered my PTSD, but this was healing and fun! It was fun hearing the girlies discuss this and help me unravel trauma vs normal feelings during this time. An episode I didn't know I needed. ❤
I'm tearing up seeing this; I'm less than 10 minutes in and had to stop for this very reason, but wanted to read the comments for a bit to help prevent my trauma-brain from interpreting this as an unsafe situation. I'm so proud of you and inspired by you, and hope I can come back to this episode some day.
@mosaic2476 Now I'm tearing up! Thank you! ❤️ The best piece of advice I got from my therapist was that trauma is defeated by empowering yourself. He told me trauma freezes you in time, and every time you're triggered, you go back to that moment in time when you felt powerless. So just the act of recognizing your emotions and hitting stop was taking back your power. Reading the comments was taking back your power. Trauma healing is not easy, and it's a lifetime commitment, but you're doing great, and it's worth it. ❤️ I'm excited for you when the day comes when you can come back and watch this episode! Best wishes to you!
Jess saying people started getting smartphones in middle school made me feel so old. I got my first smartphone my senior year of college, lol. I'm 33 so not THAT much older than these ladies, but crazy what a difference 5-7 years makes!
Yesssss!!!! I always thought he was so cute and never told anyone but loved him!! I want to say he was in jay magazine and his photo was on my wall lol
I was obsessed with Zack in hairspray because he wanted the plus size baddie. When he gets up and pursues her when she got sent to detention and he winks at her. I can’t I can’t. It was my sexual awakening that I can be plus size and wanted and desired by the handsome popular guy. Not that that actually happened to me anyway💀😂 but still lmao. - What’s funny to, I didn’t like high school musical. I just couldn’t relate or get into it and didn’t enjoy Zack as Troy lmao
JUSTICE FOR COYOTE UGLY BECAUSE OH. MY. GOSH!!! Most of my queer friends will agree Coyote Ugly was the start of their gay awakening! We need an episode with all of the girls watching Coyote Ugly and their reactions, just like with Twilight! 😂😂😂
Literally!!! I watched this movie way too much as a kid (and watched it way too young), and I think it took me being a grown ass adult to realize why I liked it so much 😂
Love love love you guys and the light yall bring!! Currently Celebrating a successful first week of my big girl job!! Makes the work of college feel worth it :))
My Zac Efron moment was summerland, also including Jessie McCartney.... I really remember the tingles when watching hp and the goblet of fire, Daniel Radcliff with that shaggy hair sent me.
not me laughing crying on my morning bus ride 😂 thank you girls!!! hagrid comment killed me! loved everyone’s awakenings, and to add to fanfiction trop after reading them, i started playing forum (text) role play, and let me tell you that unlocked smth else in me 🔥 🔥🔥
woo girl moment: i’m applying for a summer internship two states from home and i’m excited, not nervous! i’ve dealt with codependency with my mother and so this is a HUGE step! i am a sophomore in college and i cannot wait to unlearn even more of my bringing up through the gift that is therapy! i’m really proud of myself for this!!
I remember cell phone minutes 📱As far as sexual awakenings, the first time I was like "hmm watching this makes me feel a way I haven't felt before?" was watching the Peter Pan movie with Jeremy Sumpter. Honorable mentions to Casper with Christina Ricci (the dance scene at the end is my bisexual awakening, certainly), The Little Vampire with Rollo Weeks as Rudolph, and another bisexual one is Only You with Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. I remember Coyote Ugly! It wasn't for me though. I'm definitely with you that the true awakening is from fanfic, sometimes the smut in fanfic just hits the best.
2007- omg I had a 2 year old then & I was 23! I’m a bit older than you girls but I enjoy your podcast & every once in awhile I can relate. You ladies are awesome!
You read my message! Haha Sierra we definitely were reading the same things 😂 and Riayn-I getchu about coyote ugly lol! also I had already had my awakening when I watched mamma mia, but i definitely agree about the beach scene!
Also remember Quizilla? I used to read Harry Potter fanfic or choose your own adventure fanfic on Quizilla and then discovered the spicy "insert your name here" ones 💀
My queer awakening was stick it! That ice bath screen was everything. It just took me a few years to acknowledge why I re-watched that scene over and over.
Ladies… I am ashamed to say I WAS listening with air pods in and I took on out to talk to my mom and when to go press play, the AirPods had disconnected and all you hear loudly is Sierra say “SEXUAL AWAKENING” they way I paused it so quickly and reconnected the airpods
I am older than you girls but love this podcast. It brings me back to good times and I just love the friendship. My child hood awakening was alot before you guys but so similar in feelings so I still loved this so much. Good times. Also yall had me laughing out loud at work so had to stop and start again at home. My teen boys were like what's so funny and I just said TH-cam.
YESSS this is what my soul needed!!! But real quick can we also PLEASE talk about Taylor Lautner as Sharkboy, Freddie Benson on iCarly, Drake from Drake & Josh, Jesse McCartney (in general), Nat Wolff from Naked Brothers Band, Beck from Victorious, Kel Mitchell from Keenan & Kel, Chad Michael Murray in Cinderella Story AND Freaky Friday, and Nick Parker from The Parent Trap??!
My sexual awakenings were Britney Spears&Cascada! Definitely was introduced to these feelings VERY young though, like 8 or 9. Also had that one friend who just randomly asked "wanna makeout?" Def contributed to me being bi😂
omggg Riayn mentioning Coyote Ugly!! You KNOW she's one of us. 😂 🏳️🌈 Also 📱! Dude, memorizing the number buttons (yes, physical buttons) on your cell phone to text without looking
Mine was Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian in Narnia LOL I was in the theaters and my friend sat beside me and told me that once he came on screen my jaw dropped
Omg yes!!! Ben Barnes is still my all time crush..! And it all started in Narnia 😍 Realizing I might have a type, seeing as he was preceeded by two other dark handsome actors- Aragorn i Lotr and Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Carribean :P
FAV EPISODE EVER! My sexual awakenings were the opening scene of Zac Efron's face in HSM3, the scene where Chad is stretching in his basketball uniform, Ross Lynch in the Cruisin for a Bruisin dance, Joe Jonas, Edward and Jacob in Twilight and obviously reading AFTER
Okay talking about Simple Plan reminded me of Avril Lavigne’s “Hot” music video, and I remember watching it as a 10 yr old and being like “woah” and feeling all the feelings LMAO
Honestly, SAME with the Notebook, except, I never saw it on TV, my friend gave me her DVD to watch and it was a personal experience... You know who you are
celebration moment: I not only have been promoted to a stay at home mom but i have started to overcome my fear of posting on tiktok/youtube since it’s something i’ve always wanted to do
First crush: gerald, hey arnold Sexual awakening: nick parker, parent trap, charlie baker, cheaper by the dozen, also chad michael murray in everything😅
📱Omg this is SO relatable lol. I am a few years older than you guys, but was homeschooled (and VERY sheltered) till 8th grade. All of a sudden, it was like BAM! All the things. Lol. Love you guys and love everything you guys do! ❤
Beast from Beauty and the Beast. But not after he transformed back in to the prince. Now, seeing my dating history and my husband, I definitely have a type! Lmao
Happy Wednesday!!

Kovu from The Lion King 2, more specifically…his voice. Got tripped out when I was a little older and started watching Boy Meets World and the voice actor (Jason Marsden) was in a few episodes playing as Eric’s friend.

Nooo! I wish I knew about that! My grandma was so frustrated I ran up the bill from texting lol
Me! Lol.

As soon as I saw the title of this episode, I knew someone was going to bring up Bernard from The Santa Clause 😂
