The Art of Saying No (Without Losing Your Southern Card) | EP36

The Art of Saying No (Without Losing Your Southern Card) | EP36
The Art of Saying No (Without Losing Your Southern Card) | EP36 In this episode, Trish and Karen tackle one of life’s greatest challenges: saying no — especially when you were raised in the South where "yes ma’am" is practically a birthright. From dodging social invites to navigating friendship boundaries without feeling like a monster, they swap stories about people-pleasing gone wrong, the art of graciously declining, and why sometimes self-care looks a lot like staying home in sweatpants with your dog. They also recount a truly unforgettable night — complete with over-the-top home décor, unexpected hospitality, and a Golden Girls viewing party that took a hard left turn. If you’ve ever RSVP’d “yes” when your soul was screaming “girl, stay home” — this one’s for you. Takeaways: 📍Saying no is hard — especially if you were raised to “be polite at all costs.” 📍Boundaries don’t push people away — they build better friendships (and less resentful hosts). 📍Asking for details before you commit is your new superpower. 📍A small circle of trusted friends > a big crowd every time. 📍It’s okay to choose peace (and pajamas) over plans. 📍Not every invitation is mandatory — even in the South. 📍Dogs make great company — and even better excuses to leave early. 📍Unexpected hospitality makes the best (and sometimes wildest) stories. 📍Humor helps everything — especially awkward exits. 📍The pandemic changed the way we socialize — and that’s okay. 📍It’s normal to feel overwhelmed — know when to step back. 📍Self-care starts with saying no when you need to. 📍Protecting your peace is essential — not selfish. 📍Being gracious doesn’t mean giving up your boundaries. 📍Sharing stories (especially the messy ones) is how we stay connected. 📍Dog ownership brings joy... and a few challenges. 📍Saying no prevents burnout — and a whole lot of resentment.

Lip Sync Battles, Shopping Cart Crimes & Other Offenses | EP34 Spring has sprung, and Trish and Karen are here to shake off the winter blues with some much-needed laughter and fresh starts. In this episode, they take a hilarious deep dive into past (questionable) beauty investments, the joys of aging like a fine boxed wine, and the ever-crucial health check-ups—because apparently, we can’t just "vibe" our way to good cholesterol. They also sound off on societal quirks that should absolutely be illegal (looking at you, loud talkers on speakerphone in public) and celebrate the legendary Demi Moore, her Hollywood impact, and the masterclass in co-parenting she and Bruce Willis have given the world. Packed with relatable rants, side-splitting stories, and a gentle reminder that kindness still matters, this episode is all about finding joy in the little things… and maybe making a few of them punishable by law. 🔗Music by Butch Walker...check him out on Socials & Links Trish Suhr | Trish Suhr 🔗https://www.trishsuhr.com/ 🔗https://www.instagram.com/trishsuhr/ 🔗https://www.facebook.com/trishsuhr/ 🔗https://www.youtube.com/user/trishsuhr 🔗https://twitter.com/TrishSuhr Karen Mills | Karen Mills Comedy 🔗https://www.karenmills.com/ 🔗https://www.instagram.com/karenmillscomedy/ 🔗https://www.facebook.com/karenmillscomedian/ 🔗https://www.youtube.com/c/KarenMillscomedy 🔗https://twitter.com/kmillscomedy Chapters 00:00 Spring Awakening and New Beginnings 02:57 Reflections on Past Choices and Investments 05:53 Health and Wellness: The Importance of Check-Ups 08:57 Exploring Mental Health and Celebrity Stories 11:56 Hollywood's Impact on Body Image and Self-Perception 14:58 Celebrating Iconic Women in Film 18:07 The Power of Positive Co-Parenting 21:09 Celebrating Demi Moore's Impact 22:15 Things That Should Be Illegal 23:51 Citizens Arrest and Social Responsibility 26:59 Humor in Frustration 28:10 Public Etiquette and Personal Space 30:04 Voicemail Etiquette and Communication Preferences 33:14 Air Travel Etiquette 36:45 Group Texts and Digital Communication 40:28 Navigating Public Spaces 42:42 Finding Joy in Everyday Life Takeaways from this episode: 💪 Karen’s glow-up era: She’s feeling empowered and ready to make some positive changes. 😂 Trish vs. the absurdity of life: Spoiler alert—life is winning, but at least it’s hilarious. 🎤 Karen’s claim to fame: Crushing a lip sync contest like a rockstar. 💄 Beauty investments: Some are life-changing, some are just expensive regrets. 🩺 Health check-ups: Because "I’ll deal with it later" is not a medical plan. 🧠 Mental health matters: A real talk on treatments like ketamine. 🎬 Demi Moore appreciation post: From Hollywood trailblazer to co-parenting queen. 😳 Entertainment industry standards: Unrealistic then, still unrealistic now. 👨👩👧👦 Demi & Bruce: Co-parenting done right. 🤣 Life’s little quirks: Because if you don’t laugh at it, you’ll cry. 🛒 Shopping carts: Return them.

The conversation concludes with humorous takes on the absurdities of consumer products and pricing. Food sensitivities can develop over time, impacting dietary choices.

They chat about why spring feels like a fresh start, how love languages are evolving in the digital age, and why acts of service might just be the new grand romantic gesture (spoiler: unloading the dishwasher = true love).
