Anything Goes with the Bonis

“Does life really begin at 40?” A Spontaneous Therapy Session and Thoughts on Turning 40

We start the podcast with some soul searching: why dont we like celebrating our birthday? What hang ups do we have with receiving? How did we get this way?

Then we ask each other some questions about our thoughts now that we’re both in our 40s, including the most submitted question, “Does life really begin at 40?”

”I can buy myself flowers?” The genius & morality behind Revenge Art/Music by Miley, Tswift, Moira, and more!

We do a deep dive into the revenge songs that just came out, including Shakira, Miley Cyrus, Moira, and, of course, Beyonce. We look at it from the perspective of a content creator, consumer, and as a Christian. We’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
