Embracing Your Villain Era (feat. Amarachi)

1 hour 51 minutes

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome special guest Amarachi, a viral “villain era” dating coach who’s redefining what it means for women to date on their own terms. Together, they unpack how embracing your so-called “villain era” isn’t about being heartless — it’s about rejecting people-pleasing, prioritizing your happiness, and refusing to apologize for your standards.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts break down the Democrats caving to Trump on the government shutdown, Trump getting booed mercilessly at an NFL game, a woman’s viral experiment calling churches to see if they’d feed a starving baby, and a New York Times opinion piece asking if women “ruined” the workplace. Finally, in This You?, they read a viral Reddit post from a woman ready to divorce her husband over a birthday gift — and you might just take her side.

🎧 This episode challenges outdated dating dynamics and reminds women that setting boundaries, demanding effort, and embracing your so-called “villain era” is actually the key to self-respect and emotional freedom.

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

The “villain era” mindset and what it really means

Why women should stop apologizing for having standards

How to spot and reject one-sided relationships

The truth about effort, reciprocity, and emotional labor

Detachment as a tool for empowerment and healing

Why setting boundaries is the ultimate act of self-love
