Life Lesson #8 — Use Your Voice — Karen and Bill celebrate the strong, outspoken women of Stranger Things. From Nancy calling out the “bullshit,” to Eleven’s quiet but powerful “No,” to Erica’s confident demands for free ice cream, the gang explores what it means to speak your truth, set boundaries, and ask for what you want.

Karen also opens up about her own journey—physically and mentally—toward reclaiming her voice after vocal cord surgery. This heartfelt conversation reminds us that using your voice isn’t about perfection—it’s about honesty, courage, and self-advocacy.

Whether you’re calling out the nonsense, saying no to what doesn’t serve you, or boldly asking for what you deserve, this episode will inspire you to turn up your volume in a world that can feel a little… Upside Down.
