From navigating guilt around self-care to the power of honest check-ins, Fawn and Shravya swap stories about rediscovering joy and purpose in the messy middle of life. They explore practical advice for emotional regulation, stress management and learning to let the “rubber balls” drop so you can catch the “glass balls” that truly matter.

In this deeply personal episode of Sh(e)it You Should Know, Fawn sits down with Olivia (whose name has been changed for privacy) to unravel the complexities of love, betrayal and loss within a family.

Olivia shares the story of her once-unbreakable bond with her father, only to have her world upended by the devastating discovery of his affair with a lifelong family friend. As she recounts the emotional fallout, including the pain of her father's sudden illness and passing, listeners are taken on a raw journey through grief, fractured trust and the struggle to find forgiveness amidst ongoing legal battles and family division.

This episode is a candid exploration of how a single act can ripple through generations, challenging everything we think we know about loyalty, resilience and the ties that bind. Olivia's vulnerability shines as she reflects on the enduring impact of her father’s choices, the loneliness of navigating grief, and the hard-won life lessons she's learned as a result. It's a story of heartbreak, but also of survival and growth - a testament to the strength it takes to rebuild when the foundation is shaken.

In this raw and deeply personal episode of "Shit You Should Know," host Fawn and guest Tim unpack their parallel journeys growing up under the shadow of religious fundamentalism. Both raised in strict evangelical Christian homes, they recount childhoods shaped by rigid doctrine, fear of damnation and the omnipresent threat of hell. Their stories reveal how fundamentalist teachings dictated everything from daily routines and gender roles to relationships with family and self-worth, often leaving lasting scars of anxiety, guilt and shame.

As adults, both Fawn and Tim navigated complex paths away from their faiths. They reflect on the trauma of being raised in environments where questioning was forbidden, love was conditional and conformity was enforced through psychological terror. The conversation draws striking parallels between religious and political authoritarianism, especially in the current American climate, and highlights the enduring impact of fundamentalist upbringing on mental health and family bonds.

Ultimately, the episode is a candid exploration of breaking free from dogma, the cost of that freedom and the ongoing work of healing and redefining identity outside the confines of religious extremism.
