Can Women ‘Have It All’?

1 hour 29 minutes

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign dig into the cultural lie that women can “have it all,” breaking down how this expectation was built for women to fail. From impossible workplace standards to the emotional labor of relationships, the hosts unpack how patriarchal systems shape what women are told to value and why more women are redefining success on their own terms.

But first, in Tea Time, they discuss far right podcaster Andrew Wilson losing control when confronted with his wife’s messy past, MTG resigning from Congress, and the latest chaos inside the Trump Administration. Later, in Tea or Trash, they react to trending social media to decide if it’s…you guessed it: Tea Or Trash!

🎧 This episode examines the myth of balance, the cost of unrealistic expectations, and why true empowerment comes from prioritizing personal wellbeing over patriarchal approval.

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

Why the idea of women “having it all” is built on patriarchal expectations

Andrew Wilson’s hypocrisy and the policing of women’s choices

How political decisions impact women in female dominated fields

Ongoing misogyny in politics and media

How women are redefining success, autonomy, and personal safety

Why rejecting patriarchal norms is necessary for real empowerment
