[Serpent Lungs] and Chas-T**ty Bras: The Boob Episode

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2025/11/01

When it comes to health topics, we’ve spent a fair amount of time talking about perimenopause and menopause, but we haven’t spent a lot of time talking specifically about breasts, even though they seem to be just as complicated and frustrating and confusing. October was breast cancer awareness month and we’ve had two breast cancer survivors on our show, so we didn’t want to do another full episode on breast cancer specifically, but we did want to talk about breasts - how we feel about them,

Survival of the Siblings: Confessions About Birth Order

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2025/10/26

In this episode, we are talking about birth order. Why? Because Harper's older sister and Jen were talking a few weeks ago and suggested it. Harper is a middle sister between two girls, and it’s a topic of conversation that tends to come up between them somewhat regularly. According to her sister, that’s because Harper brings up how much she was ignored and forgotten as a child as often as possible.It’s all in good fun, and we laugh about it a lot, but it’s actually a good topic, because

For your listening pleasure today, we have captured a real-life hormonal meltdown of two perimenopausal women who are losing their ever-loving shit over…well…everything.We didn’t plan for it. We actually had an entirely different topic planned for this episode. But as soon as we started exchanging a few salty comments about where our moods were at and we realized we needed to let it all out and figured it would be interesting to capture it all and see what happened. As it turns out, it’s

[ig-NITE-ed] Value: Knowing Your Worth

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2025/10/06

Today’s topic is about Knowing your Worth, and in many ways, starting a podcast is a test of knowing and understanding your worth. We used to have the best conversations and when Jen suggested we start a podcast Harper didn’t know if anyone would care or want to listen. But as we’ve done this show for the past few years, it’s become clear that what we bring to the podcast environment does have value and we do have worth in this space. We may be a smaller show, but we continue to grow thanks to

2025/09/27

For this episode, we talk about the energy of gifts, which we thought was a great topic for the confessional, because it’s something that can sometimes feel like a secret, even if it’s a happy, special secret.So we dove into things like gifts from our dads and how rare that was, special gifts from and for our kids, and the feeling of purging gifts that had energy associated with them. Gifts that came from loving people but no longer serve us, and the grief of letting them go; gifts that hold the

A [Motley] Crew: Rue is live in the Confessional!

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2025/06/02

When we shifted from a sporadic side project to a consistent show, my first priority was learning how to edit. Because we record during live manicures, our setup is... challenging. Between “sound bleed” from sitting close together and the background noise—filing, beeping, clinking—we basically picked the worst environment for beginner podcasters.During a mini-sabbatical from work, Harper was laser-focused on improving our audio. But none of the podcasting advice out there addressed our kind of sound

Finding our Femininity - When do we feel it and Why?

What defines femininity, or masculinity, and how do you connect with those elements of yourself? That’s the question we are pondering in today’s episode.In our last episode, Jen and Harper went to a spa and did a Yoni steam, where we sat over pots of steaming herbs to help moisturize and revitalize our female parts. As we talked about it afterward, Jen shared that it was a good way to connect with her Feminine side, and after that conversation, Harper could not get that comment out of her head.For

Jen & Harper Try It Out: A Royal Yoni Steam Adventure

2025/05/04

This season, we haven’t yet done a Try It Out episode, and we really thought long and hard about doing a sauna and open water cold plunge, since we live in a cold weather state and cold plunge is supposed to be the best new health trend. But as this season crept on, we kept not scheduling that cold plunge, and finally realized we just really didn’t want to. Thankfully, Jen did some more research and found out it’s not as good for menopausal women as it is for men and younger women, so that gave us

I'm So Hot!! Why am I So Hot?!?!

As women in our 50s, we often turn to topics related to perimenopause and menopause, because frankly, there is no end to the things we can talk about in this area. One of the things we’ve both noticed is that our internal core temperature has seemed to be higher these days, but neither of us felt like we were really having what seemed like “hot flashes.” At least not in the way we had seen and heard them described. Gross night sweats, evening face flushing, or just generally feeling warmer all the

The pelvic floor is the entire group of muscles, tendons, organs, and structures that make up the area that includes our bladder, vagina and uterus, and perineum, rectum and anus. For women, there is a lot going on down there, and when something is off, we might get sent to several different specialists to help diagnose and treat the problem. Thankfully, more and more women’s healthcare is addressing the pelvic floor and pelvic area health holistically, and we would love to hear your success
