I feel like we had such traumatic lives that, like yeah, we've taken, like The Past Few Years, to like. Like all those questions that we always ask ourselves?
How do you talk about the tough stuff without feeling overwhelmed? Jasmine and her cousin Elena show us how in this episode of 'That's the Whiskey'. Elena, who Jasmine describes as 'the funniest biotch ever', joins the conversation to bring some light-heartedness to serious topics like mental health, family trauma, and abortion. They both dive into their therapy journeys, sharing the ups and downs of finding the right therapist and how therapy has impacted their lives.
Jasmine opens up about the challenges of dating and relationships, especially when friends' judgments come into play. Elena, on the other hand, brings a humorous perspective on sexuality and her experiences with older men. They also reflect on their Hispanic heritage and how it shapes their identities and views on these sensitive subjects. One of the most compelling parts of the episode is their discussion on the stigma surrounding abortion.
They talk about how this stigma affects women's mental health and why it's important to have open conversations about it. Despite the heavy topics, Jasmine and Elena manage to keep the mood light with their banter and humor, creating a safe space for listeners to reflect on their own experiences. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions—funny, heartfelt, and brutally honest.
