5. DO NOT TRY A TEATOX
We’re already 2+ months into 2021 and the girls are back in business! Episode #5 explains what the hell is happening with the podcast (SPOILER: we can’t be trusted).
Clara and Liz get into the horrific experience of trying a Teatox – and its irreversible consequences, along with panic attacks/therapeutic coping mechanisms, the health dangers of bulimia, and wrap up by asking for YOUR feedback on what kinds of content you want to hear in future episodes of Sike Ward.
