The Air We Breathe
The Air We Breathe is where sharp humor meets deep reflection. Join two sarcastic women who happen to be cousins—one married with kids, one divorced and dating—as they laugh through life’s biases absorbed from pop culture, media, and family. From dissecting Disney (Was Beauty and the Beast just toxic?) to unpacking body image through DJ Tanner fainting on a Stairmaster. This isn’t just another “hot take” podcast—it’s a laugh-out-loud exploration of how the invisible fog of implicit bias shapes our daily lives, relationships, and decisions. Question the world while giggling at it!

This episode? Pure banter. We took your feedback (yes, we see you Breather Nation) and decided to let loose. Turns out you love our tangents and pop culture deep dives. So sit back and enjoy this reflection session, sprinkled with childhood nostalgia, brain worms, and the occasional existential crisis.
🔹 Episode Highlights:
•Villains, VCRs, and VHS Rewinds: Why do we secretly root for Disney villains or 90s bad seeds? Tracey and Lauren confess their childhood crushes on animated baddies and wax poetic about Anne of Green Gables.
•Comfort Shows & Brain Worms: What shows and movies shaped you? From Titanic to Speed, we unpack the trauma bonding hidden in our favorite flicks.
•Crushes & Boy Band Analysis: The psychology of loving Joey McIntyre vs. Donnie Wahlberg. You’ll never see New Kids on the Block the same way.
•Bad Seed Energy: Tracey’s undiagnosed inner chaos kid loves a good child-villain thriller. What does it say when you’re cheering for the kid from The Good Son?
•Cleopatra Vibes: Lauren gets real about why ancient queens and fierce women of history are her Roman Empire.
💭 Questions to Ponder:
•What childhood movie or show still lives rent-free in your head?
•Were you a simp for a boy band member, and what does that say about you now?
•Ever feel personally attacked by your comfort movies? Same.
