In this episode of We Need Help, Lizzy and Izzy dive into one of the least glamorous but most universal topics ever: UTIs.
They share personal stories, childhood horror moments, why these infections happen, and what really goes on in the bladder, urethra, and kidneys. They break down the types of UTIs, symptoms, common mistakes people make, how antibiotics are often overused, and what actually helps prevent recurring infections.

Expect plenty of laughs, some seriously helpful education, a surprising analogy involving the clitoris and an eyeball, and a reminder to treat your body with the same care you treat your eyes. The girls also highlight the important research being done at the Magee Womens Research Institute and explain how listeners can support it.

It is equal parts comedy, storytelling, and real talk about vaginal health.

Take care of yourself, take care of your third eye, and enjoy the episode.

A Holiday Special in Support of Toys for Tots

This week on We Need Help – The Podcast, Lizzy & Izzy unwrap (aggressively, with zero chill) the real rules of gift-giving season. Because apparently… some people still need a tutorial. 

We’re breaking down:

 How to Give a Genuinely Great Gift

The kind that says “I know you,” not “I found this at a gas station on the way here.”
We’ll talk thoughtful upgrades, heart-melting surprises, and the secret to choosing gifts that make people cry in a good, nostalgic, Instagrammable way.

How Not to Give a Gift

Yes, we’re calling out the holiday crimes:
    •    The “This is actually for me” gift
    •    The last-minute panic purchase that still smells like the checkout line
    •    The “Here’s something to subtly improve yourself” disaster
If you’ve ever given a vacuum cleaner and called it romance… this is your intervention.

 How to Make Any Gift Feel Magical

We’ll share the tiny, delicious touches that turn even a simple present into a core memory:
a handwritten note, a shared story, a ribbon that actually looks like effort, or a radical thought…. listening to what people say all year.

And This Week Matters Even More…

Because this episode is dedicated to Toys for Tots, an organization that makes sure kids who would otherwise go without get to feel that spark of holiday magic.
We’re diving into how to give generously, joyfully, and with the kind of heart that actually changes someone’s day… or their whole childhood.

Expect laughter, a few emotional gut punches, and at least one confession about a terrible gift we once received and are still recovering from.

Listen in, learn how to gift like a grown-up, and maybe… go buy a toy for a kid who’ll remember it forever! Toysfortots.org
