#124 No Choice Anymore
It’s Lauren’s last episode before treatment, so naturally Christina put her in the hot seat! Listen to hear her share what she’s afraid of, what she’s looking forward to most, what she hopes will be different this time, and why YOU should have some f*cking self compassion. We also talk about what to expect from the pod in the weeks ahead. Enjoy!

#122 The Good, The Bad, and the...Hopeful?
We play a listener voicemail sent in response to the question “What’s going on with you?” This unlocks a conversation about fitting in and doing the work in the face of constant existential dread that wants you as miserable as possible. Lauren gives a treatment update, Christina talks about beer, and we disagree about gratitude journals. Enjoy!

#121 Life Is Random and Then You Die feat. UNCERTAINTY
How do you curate a sense of security in the face of uncertainty? We don't really have the answer, but we DO have lots of anxiety-fueled stories. Tangents this week include introducing parents to friends (and why Christina loves it), which country Lauren is considering escaping to with her dog, and Jodi Picoult. Enjoy!

#114 Guilt to the Max feat. MINIMIZATION
What do you minimize and why? More importantly, what would it take for you to believe that it’s valid? In this episode, we tackle this question for ourselves and also hear what some of you had to say. Listen to hear how we minimized ourselves into “rock bottom” only to minimize some more, ways we flew under the radar by ignoring our needs, and why we should all be emotional maximalists.

#113 You Don't Belong in a Box feat. LABELS
Inspired by tabloid news, your attention-deficit cohosts have a conversation about labels in the mental health world. Topics and tangents include:
Ways we feel stuck and ashamed in our eating disorders this week Glennon Doyle’s recent anorexia diagnosis and ensuing controversy Differentiating professional diagnoses and personal labels Labels we’ve given ourselves, labels others have given us, and labels we’ve reclaimed How online dating has changed the way we label ourselves Reddit and r/ProED (RIP) When it’s healthy to internalize labels and when to let them go Our most low-effort (but still delicious) palate cleanser yetCONTENT WARNING: We talk about eating disorders more than usual on this episode, though we try not to go into detail when it comes to behaviors. No pressure to listen if this type of conversation is triggering to you in any way.

#112 Hit the Brakes and Ruffle the Waters feat. BOUNDARIES
Today's episode draws from listener feedback to discuss ways we can set boundaries for ourselves and what to do when your boundaries aren't respected. Topics (and tangents!) include:
Getting reported on Instagram Our attempts to diagnose ourselves with ADHD (and what we learned thanks to Google) Listening to your gut and creating boundaries from a place of self-respect How to form boundaries when you have low self-esteem and worry about losing people How to say no and exit with grace Times we've broken our own boundaries Times someone else drew a boundary against us Physical boundaries, verbal boundaries, using body language to convey boundaries, and everything in between Lil Peep, Everybody's Everything, and substance use A bill of rightsFollow Pickles and Vodka for updates, guest inquiries, or to say hi:

#111 Feel Your Feelings feat. FAMILY SECRETS
Your imperfect yet oh-so-professional cohosts return in the new year to dish about the past and take a messy look into family dynamics. (Dish about family? Look messily into the past? Take your pick.)
Topics (and tangents) include:
The incident that blew up Lauren’s life right after we recorded our in-person episode two weeks ago More insurance nightmares The LIVE ON-AIR death of Gary the microphone A milestone for Christina and why she doesn’t want to talk about it How our respective families deal with secrets and what happens when they get out Our reactions when family members share they’ve been sharing similar struggles Thinking back to all the times we were f*cked up at family events and wondering why nobody said anything Anxieties around spilling our guts on the Internet for anyone to hear Ways addiction and depression has been talked about (and covered up) in our families Being vulnerable with people who don’t know how to respond Controversy around weedFollow Pickles and Vodka for updates, guest inquiries, or to say hi:

#109 One Spoon, Too Many Bowls feat. VULNERABILITY
This week we’re baring it all in an attempt to keep being honest on this stupid show. Topics include:
Why we’re tired of being strong for the holidays (and in general) Ways we’ve been struggling and why talking about it is hard Mental roadblocks preventing you from seeking support Turning to substances and self-harm instead of being vulnerable Putting on a shell to protect yourself from being disappointed Being vulnerable at the wrong place or time Spilling your guts online vs IRL Drifting away from friends and blaming yourself Ways vulnerability has helped—and hurt—us Things you can do to make vulnerability more accessibleAs we wrap up another year of Pickles and Vodka, we want to thank you for taking a chance and being vulnerable with us. Y’all keep us sane. (Or at least sane-ish.)

#108 Fail As Hard As You Want To feat. RECOVERY
It's messy, it's nonlinear AF, and it's definitely not for everyone. We are, of course, talking about recovery. Today's Pickle Poll episode draws from listener comments and voicemails to discuss the following:
How we define recovery (or lack thereof) for ourselves Chronic mental illness, losing hope, and seeing recovery as an unaffordable luxury The “anecdote equals fact” approach and why it pisses Lauren off How to get to a place where you actually want to recover How to replace self-destruction as an outlet The temptation to make recovery your entire identity Recovery gatekeepers and how Christina keeps people guessing Lapses, relapses, and everything in between Performative recovery and being honest with yourself Finding a reason to recover (and what to do if you don't have one)Follow Pickles and Vodka for updates, guest inquiries, or to say hi:

#107 Attention Is Not a Dirty Word feat. THERAPY
Find a cozy seat and join us this week as we talk about therapy! Topics include:
The events that led us each to therapy for the first time Times therapy saved our lives Times therapy traumatized us How therapy can help bring out your inner child Getting ghosted or fired by your therapist Paying for therapy Setting boundaries with your therapist Contacting your therapist after hours (and which of us has done it) Pros and cons of group therapy Tips for someone who is looking for their first therapist Virtual vs in-person therapyFollow Pickles and Vodka for updates, guest inquiries, or to say hi:

#106 The Pain Is Not the Meaning feat. ROMANTICIZATION OF MENTAL ILLNESS
This week we’re talking about the ways we and our listeners have romanticized mental illness in the past, why we trick ourselves into forgetting how bad it actually got, and how to find meaning outside of our pain. Subtopics include:
Feeling guilty as an adult who previously idealized their mental illness when others seem to struggle without a choice Is romanticizing mental illness a sign of immaturity or naïveté? Whether romanticizing mental illness at a young age is related to diagnoses later in life The role of media and celebrities in bringing awareness (and romanticization) to certain mental illnesses Fear of becoming less interesting when we pursue healthy coping methods Seeing someone else model a toxic behavior and attempting to copy them Only romanticizing our lives when we’re struggling Symptom switching Feeling nostalgic for the past and accidentally repeating history Ways we remind ourselves that we are more than our mental illnessFollow Pickles and Vodka for updates, guest inquiries, or to say hi:

#105 Nothing to See Here feat. IMPOSTER SYNDROME
Christina picked the topic for today’s episode and we ran with it! Join us for an extra vulnerable conversation where we discuss the following:
What is imposter syndrome and who suffers? Feeling like you don’t deserve to have a voice How we have struggled (and continue to struggle) with imposter syndrome in our personal lives and on the podcast Types of imposter syndrome and which ones we relate to Short- and long-term effects of imposter syndrome Feeling like an imposter when you’re sick and in recovery Feeling fake as a result of undergoing change (even though change can be good!)

#104 Everyone Has Dirty Dishes feat. TOXIC POSITIVITY
Today we cover a topic we’ve been wanting to do forever: toxic positivity! Through listener comments and personal stories, we discuss the following:
Not being allowed to be unhappy Why we can tend to be overly positive when supporting someone who is struggling Stonewalling ourselves to fit in with positivity culture External vs internal toxic positivity Not being able to trust people who are positive all the time Is it possible to choose our attitudes? Good ol’ minimizing Letting people see the natural state you live in Being grateful while suffering Is stark realism the response to toxic positivity? Toxic positivity as a response to starting recovery What happens when you stifle wounds in positivity instead of addressing them Motivational quotes in designOther tangents include:
Our voting stories Lauren making contraband cold brew in treatment and Christina’s stance on Starbucks as a former employee Weed as anxiety relief Contemplations on straight edge and recovery as a way of life vs a state of beingFollow Pickles and Vodka for updates, guest inquiries, or to say hi:

#103 Spilling the (Little) T feat. TRAUMA
Today we talk about different types of trauma and whether we agree that distinctions matter. Subtopics include:
The difference between “big T” Trauma and “little T” trauma and why the terms even exist How even "little t" trauma can lead to serious repercussions if overlooked Comparing your experiences to others and minimizing what happened to you Reconciling trauma with its well-meaning inflictors Sex, religion, and divorce...oh f*ck! The pervasiveness of intergenerational trauma Self-inflicted trauma and ways you might be gaslighting yourself Cultural trauma and how the same events can affect people differently Friend breakups and how traumatizing they can be How accepting the validity of your trauma can help you connect to othersAlso included in this episode:
Lauren's moving drama A surprising Pickles and Vodka reference from a listener Why we aren't having kids Christina to quit vaping??? Our most extra palate cleanser yetEnjoy!!

#102 The Meaning of Life is That It Stops feat. DEATH
Happy Halloween, hot and spicy pickles! Today we discuss the following topics:
Minimizing death while being afraid to talk about it Losing people young and being forced to deal with it before you’re ready What it’s like to be in your 30s without ever having experienced an interpersonal death Nonlinear grieving and why every reaction to death is appropriate The number one disrupter of funerals Possibility of afterlife, nihilism, and dying without religion Christina coming out as an atheist to her parents after a motorcycle crash Why a good mortician is absolutely necessary (and why all good morticians deserve raises) Lauren’s shocking secret and Christina’s reaction Historical reasons why modern society is less comfortable with death Death as an abstract experience vs medical event Using death as an excuse to celebrate life Vampire tropes and what they can teach us about being alive Alyssa’s life hack for accepting the idea of not existing anymoreThis episode wouldn’t be possible without the help of Alyssa, who kindly sent in voicemails in response to our questions pertaining to the death industry.

#101 The Vibe Is Off feat. PERFECTIONISM
On this episode, your infamously imperfect cohosts have a conversation about perfectionism. Subtopics include:
How Christina REALLY felt about the 100th episode Where do you draw the line between self-improvement and perfectionism? How we're trying to give ourselves some slack Lauren’s new therapist and how many sessions is too many before calling it quits Putting guards up as a result of asking for help and getting burned Lifejournal, pen pals, and the advent of digital cameras Wanting your place to be always spotless in case you die away from home Perfectionism at work Redefining the concept of “perfect” CatsEnjoy!

#100 One Hundred Conversations
IT'S OUR CENTENNIAL, BABY! Christina reminisces about starting Pickles and Vodka by herself in 2018 and what it was like to be bulimic and in active addiction while putting out new episodes every week. Lauren reveals what was going on in her head when she took on the role of cohost and why she's decided to reject toxic recovery dialogues and embrace realism. Most importantly, we discuss the concept of vulnerability and why uncomfortable conversations can be the difference between isolation and healing. We play a bunch of listener voicemails, go on some noteworthy tangents, and feel a lot of feelings. CHEERS, FRIENDS!

#96.5 Lauren Spent the Weekend in a Psych Ward
It's a bonus episode! Lauren sits down to tell the story of how she spent the weekend of 9/9 in an ER holding room and then a psych ward. Although we bring our signature humor, this is definitely a more serious episode with mentions of suicide, depression, food/weight, and psychological trauma. Listen with care and stay safe. (Don't worry, there is a hilarious Pickle Palate Cleanser at the end to balance everything out.)

#94 Stay Crazy But Stay Alive feat. BURNOUT
In light of the recent changes to Pickles and Vodka, Christina and Lauren finally tackle the topic on everyone's mind these days: burnout! We talk about what burnout ISN'T, preserving energy for the things that energize you, being unable to enjoy free time, tips for coping with and preventing burnout, ways to give your brain a vacation (healthy and not), and why burnout is normal but can lead to more troubling issues down the road. We play some insightful listener voicemails and get unexpectedly emotional over a Tolkien reference. Enjoy!

#91 Spit It Out and Laugh About It feat. To the Bone
For the podcast's first EVER movie review, we pick apart To the Bone, the 2017 drama starring Lily Collins and directed by Marti Noxon. Topics include Lifetime stereotypes, the lack of diversity in eating disorder treatment, which scenes triggered us the most, the Keanu Reeves of it all, and what conversations we should be having when it comes to anorexia in the media. Lauren has a hot take about peyote and we compare our real-life treatment experiences with escapades from the film. Enjoy!

#84 Becoming Smart, Beautiful, and Funny feat. Caroline Jumper
Christina brings her sister Caroline back on the podcast to answer a question submitted by a relative, which leads to an unhinged (and often hilarious) conversation about growth.

Another OG P&V guest returns in this roller coaster of an episode! (And yes, it is heavily peppered with innuendos.)

Tangents include sexual bird talk, Christina being Bianca’s supervisor at Starbucks, making friends as the sad single gorl, and lots more. Enjoy the ride!
