Being single can be such a drag - we've been there. But what if it could be the best time for YOU to get back on your feet, exploring life, being curious, and getting good at going on dates? YEAH, sounds nice. Syd & Soph lay it all out there about their single past & what truly made a difference for them in being single. Going from "I hate being single" to "I never want to give up my single freedom." Is a h0e phase really a h0e phase? And then theres dating... What do your expectations look like? Are you a Romanticizer, Maximizer, or Hesitator? It is always hard putting yourself out there again - QUIT searching and start living. Good things are coming, we know from experience <3

Trey Moore is Minneapolis native who hasn't always had the confidence and energy that he exudes today. Trey (as you will find out) is one of the most exuberant, sassy, and loving humans you will ever meet and we felt honored to have such a Loving 'King' share his story. Trey's coming out story involved "bearded" relationships, high school rumors, and a hell of a lot of trust to accept his truest self. This journey engrained confidence within him and this 'prideful confidence' is one of his greatest attributes as of today - and we truly believe we can all learn a little something from Trey and his positivity. Keep your head high Queen, or else your crown falls.

You always have a choice. Trey chooses happiness. Trey chooses to be authentically himself every single day.

Follow Trey on Instagram here - he is more than happy to connect with you!

Relationships. Friendships. Jobs. Habits. You name it, we cover it. Do you think it is harder to break up with someone or be broken up with? Regardless of who does what, you are in CONTROL. The two discuss how you can't control someone else's reaction but you CAN control your own. If a boyfriend/girlfriend isn't serving you anymore - BYE BYE. If your friend has gotten one too many last changes - SEE YA. If your job isn't getting you where you want to go next - CAIO. Whether temporary separation or forever broken habit, take accountability for what YOU can change right in front of you. RIP THAT BANDAID OFF.

#Straightcandid moment you won't want to miss this week - Let's just say... a breakup with a boyfriend also lead to a breakup with a BEST friend. WE LOVE YOU CANDID CREW!

Tune in if you're looking to expand your mind, open new doors, and most importantly, feel seen. Ashley Sondergaard is a self care coach, yoga teacher, astrologer, and host of the Yoga Magic podcast. For over 10 years, she has studied yoga, meditation, astrology and mindfulness practices that prioritize self-care and self-discovery. After having her two girls, Ashley discovered the hard way that taking care of yourself first is the only way to take care of others. 

Ashley analyzes both Syd and Sophs Birth Charts, breaks down each zodiac sign, discusses Spirituality Vs Religion, and opens up about a recent loss that was priorly envisioned through a sensory experience. Goosebumps.

At the end of the day we all just want to connect to something bigger than ourselves, regardless of your beliefs. You may be surprised by the sense of connection to others (and yourself) after listening to this weeks episode. We hope you LOVE it! We want to thank Ashley for not only taking the time to share her expertise but for also making us feel so understood. All the love.

Dr. Sarah is back baby!! Due to the current threat of women abortion rights, Syd and Soph thought it was only fair for their own OBGYN doc to hop on the podcast to converse about this topic. Dr. Sarah shares what you need to know about finding care, if our abortion rights are no longer protected. Pro-FACTS.

We also get into some juicy Q&A’s that our listeners wrote in: Do kegals really work? What’s the science behind male birth control and when will this become available to the public? How do you know if your hormones are out of whack? When should your low sex drive concern you?

Dr. Sarah then discusses the new wellness trend of Cycle Synching and how it can aid (and optimize) the four phases of the female cycle. Which part of your cycle are you the most horny? The most opt to build muscle? Can you still cycle sync when you’re on hormonal birth control? Dr. Sarah covers it all. It is always such a pleasure to have this bossbabe get candid with us. <3

U jelly? Whether we admit to it or not, we all know what jealousy feels like. Whether it be relationship jealousy, always comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you are in competition with everyone around you, this episode candidly covers it all.

We talk about retroactive jealousy and how his (or her) past relationships may have lead you to hours (and hours lol) of social media stalking his ex. You want to know everything about their relationship. Did they love them more than me? Why do we sometimes let this get in the way of our current relationship? Why do we feel insecure around his female friends?

Although, Syd and Soph admit to succumbing to jealous feelings- they dig deep to find out WHERE this may have come from and chat about tactics to get over this green eyed monster known as jealousy. Remember, life is a collaboration, NOT a competition.

Simp Simp Hooray! Syd and Soph are back baby! The girls are solo this week - so they spend an aggressive amount of time chatting about sh*itty laundry and the word "simp." What really is a "Simp"? Do we like Simps? Do we prefer Simps or Fboys? Hint: Fboys are sooo last year.

The girls also share tips on how they have set relationship boundaries in the past. Syd tell us about the boundaries she has set in her relationship and even shares a personal boundary that she has let herself cross. This episode take an insightful turn as Syd comes to the realization that goals, dreams, and boundaries may not have a timeline. There is always time to re-write your own boundaries and to remember that you DESERVE your expectations to be met.

Syd and Soph are solo this week - but not solo in their relationship status. *Enter Soph's new boo* - "Plant Daddy." Dare I say... Official?

**Trigger warning** - conversations of sexual assault are discussed in this episode. We ask that if this is not the right time for you to listen, please turn the podcast off at the 20-minute mark. Conversations about sexual assault need to be more common because it reminds us when to speak out, how to take care of friends, and the importance of listening to your gut. The key is to start these conversations now, and often - but as always, we respect those who are not ready to listen.

After a light, fun intro chatting about an accidental pepper spray, pooping the pants, and broom ball shoes - we welcome Becca Polk. Becca is a college friend of Soph's, who gets vulnerable and shares her beautiful and chilling poems about her childhood trauma. Becca explains the phases of healing with her story, suggestions on how to support those you love if they are going through something like this, and the day there was justice.

Syd opens up about her experiences and Becca shares advice on how she has furthered her healing process with therapy, how to be there for someone in this process, and our amazing OBGYN, Dr. Sarah, hops on the mic to share some words of wisdom from a medical standpoint.

Sexual assault is a hard topic but that's why we are here, to have the hard conversations and to make sure every single listener knows they are not alone in their healing. It is NOT your fault &amp; healing is not linear.

Both Syd & Soph want to give you a warning that they are not trained or educated on this topic, but would like to give you their candid thoughts as women.

The two girls explain where they fall on the sexuality spectrum, and why they believe that "everyone is a little gay". They also answer some tough questions that bring up some universal stereotypes. If a girl hooks up with a girl, does that make her lesbian? What about if a guy hooks up with a guy, is he gay? Would you date a guy who has hooked up with another guy? They also give advice to their listeners on how to have these tough conversations with people that aren't in the same generation or have similar views. The two combat stereotypes like someone’s body count and the affect of someone’s count on other people's views. The girls also give an update on upcoming events the Straight Candid team will be attending (hint: The Great Minnesota Get Together) Listen this week to hear about what happened to Soph's stuffed animal, Carmel.
