Ever heard of the “Male Loneliness Epidemic”? Well, we solved it in 8 minutes! Yeah… we’re doing super important work together on the pod. Seriously, though we’re discussing the roles we are assigned in families, as women in the workplace, in our own psyches. We get into women’s moon phases, how to be yourself, and most importantly… Loren eventually gets to tell her story about what she said at work (in the last 3 minutes). It’s getting real and we want to hear what YOUR experiences are! Write us an email or drop a DM on socials, we can’t wait to know what your work vibe is and what feels most genuine for you–masculine traits or feminine expression? We love you ALL! Thank you for listening to our stories about life and womanhood.
