In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign explore what womanhood looks like when it is no longer shaped by patriarchy, the male gaze, or the need for male approval. Together, they break down how women are conditioned to perform, shrink, and self police, and what it actually means to live authentically, freely, and on your own terms.

But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign discuss the killing of Imani Smith, a Broadway actress best known for her work in The Lion King, a disturbing video of a man threatening women’s rights, a viral Reddit breakup story, and the public reaction to Stefon Diggs and Cardi B (Please note, this episode was recorded BEFORE new broke of Stefon Diggs being charged with folony strangulation of a woman). Later, in the Mailbag, they respond to a listener asking whether men become meaner toward women once they turn 30.

🎧 This episode unpacks how reclaiming womanhood is a deeply personal journey, why empowerment comes from within, and how women can detach from patriarchal expectations without losing themselves in the process.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign are joined by special guest Queen Sovereign for a direct and unfiltered conversation about the fragile male ego and the ways it shapes men’s behavior, relationships, and reactions to women’s autonomy. Together, they examine how ego, entitlement, and insecurity often drive harm, control, and disrespect toward women, and why those patterns are so rarely challenged.

But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign break down a chaotic news cycle, including Nicki Minaj’s public MAGA pivot and comments involving J.D. Vance, a disturbing case involving boys sharing AI generated nude images of a 13 year old girl with no consequences, and the internet’s response to both Jake Paul and Andrew Tate taking public losses. Later, in another round of "This You?", the hosts unpack a Reddit post about a husband who gave away his wife’s expensive sake without asking, and what it reveals about male entitlement and disregard for women’s boundaries.

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign  sit down with special guest Therese Lee to unpack her new series, Witches, Whores, and Rebels, which explores how history repeats itself whenever powerful systems begin to break down.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts dive into a new app that lets users talk to AI avatars of deceased loved ones, churches lashing out after being exposed for refusing to help starving babies, and Megyn Kelly defending behavior no one expected her to defend. Later in the Mailbag, a listener asks whether child free women secretly worry they may regret their choice.

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.
