Everyone talks about “confidence,” but too many confuse it with ego, filters, and fake praise.

Confidence doesn’t come from curated feeds, lighting apps, or likes, NAY it comes from knowing your craft, doing the work, and getting so damn good they can’t ignore you.

Anne Margaret breaks down:

If you’re done comparing, done performing, and ready to build confidence that doesn’t need an audience; this one’s for you.

Because confidence without competence is just cosplay.

Think your wedding traditions are romantic? Think again. In this raw, unfiltered episode, The Salty Goddess exposes the dark, patriarchal roots of ceremonies that still define love today. From veils and vows to diamonds and dowries, Anne Margaret delivers a furious, funny, and historically accurate takedown of marriage customs built on control, ownership, and capitalism.

Ever wonder how Halloween morphed from ancient fire festivals and ancestor feasts into plastic pumpkins and sugar comas? In this unapologetically salty episode, Anne Margaret Perry, The Salty Goddess herself, digs into the untamed history of Halloween. Discover the Celtic roots of Samhain, how the Church turned pagans into parishioners, and how Irish immigrants brought it all to America (where candy companies took over).

Let’s talk about accountability, excuses, and the myth that family or friendship buys unlimited forgiveness.

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “They didn’t mean it,” while sweeping the same mess under the same rug, this episode is your wake-up call. Anne Margaret Perry | The Salty Goddess walks you through what real accountability sounds like, why “sorry” without change is emotional noise, and how civility doesn’t mean you owe anyone access.

We’re covering it all:

Excuses vs Accountability

The anatomy of a real apology

Civility ≠ Access

Reintegration as a process, not a press pass

And the unvarnished truth: “Family isn’t diplomatic immunity.”

Because when people show you who they are, you don’t need a debate, you need a door.

“Bye, bitch. Your departure need not be announced, you’re not Flight 666 leaving out of Gate 666. Take your baggage and have a safe trip.”

Everybody wants success—until they realize it requires sweat, self-awareness, and a spine.

Success doesn’t start with a vision board; it starts with three non-negotiables:

You’ll learn how to:

Wake up feeling actually positive , brain training, like potty training only easier!

Choose your mentors wisely—and stop taking advice from people who don't have your best interests at heart!

Build a mindset that’s grounded in reality, not rainbows.

Because success isn’t magic, it’s consistency and method. And if you’re waiting for motivation, you’re already behind.

So grab your coffee, your confidence, and your grown-up goals.

Rumors aren’t truth, they’re fear wrapped in bullshit. This week on The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry is calling out the rumor mill, the jackholes who keep it spinning, and the cowards who lap it up without question.

From viral CPR myths to the petty whisper campaigns that poison reputations, we break down why spreading misinformation makes you lazy, why believing it makes you weak, and why allowing someone else to furnish your opinions for you, is intellectual servitude.

Anne Margaret lays down the salty truth: if you didn’t verify it, it’s garbage. If you let whispers dictate who belongs in your circle, you’ve already surrendered your sovereignty.

🔥 Expect:

Salty breakdown of rumor-mongering & fear-mongering

Why “nil value” opinions are worthless without fact or firsthand experience

Jackholes, gossip chains, and the telephone game we never grew out of

The difference between honest warnings and injurious slander

Daddy’s wisdom: trust, but verify, always

Why your circle should be built on truth, respect, and courage

Because ain’t no one fucking drawing your circle for you, but you!

Salty Goddess Anne Margaret Perry takes you on a journey from Victorian dinner tables to modern-day Facebook flame wars. Once upon a time, politics, religion, and money were off-limits for polite company. Now? We’re practically ready to throw hands over a meme. It's time to retire the fucking etiquette peasantry. Elevate your

In this unapologetically audacious episode, Anne Margaret breaks down:

Why etiquette once banned divisive topics, and what that meant for social harmony.

How America’s pendulum swing took us from silence to screaming.

The rise of “color commentator” newscasters and corporate-driven spin.

Why civility is NOT complicity, and silence isn’t the answer either.

The case for micro-courtesies: holding doors, saying thank you, listening before attacking.

This isn’t about sugarcoating or silencing, it’s about reclaiming the lost art of civil disagreement without nuking friendships, dinner parties, or society itself.

If you’re tired of the chaos, craving common courtesy, and ready to chase character instead of clout, this is your guilty-pleasure wake-up call.

Need a break from the dark side of the world? War, chaos, and people still driving Fords? Yeah, me too. So this week I’m serving up laughter straight from my own life in medicine and grandparenting.

From feral grandkids who pack a suitcase with just panties for a flight to South Carolina, to patients who confuse their uvula with their vulva (yes, really), this episode is all about the hilarity that comes with living, working, and surviving humanity.

I’ve spent over 30 years in EMS, nursing, and advanced practice medicine, and trust me, the stories never stop. You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe question humanity’s collective IQ, but you’ll leave with a grin.

Got your own funny story? DM me or email me, if I read it on the podcast, I’ll send you a free Salty Goddess coloring book.

This week, The Salty Goddess-Anne Margaret Perry hopes everyone can take heed and stop being jackholes!!!!

Being human isn’t an excuse for being a jackhole. In this episode, I drag “respect” out of the shallow grave we’ve buried it in and tell the salty truth: respect isn’t automatic, family isn’t a hall pass, and loyalty sure as hell isn’t blind servitude. From breaking bread as a sacred covenant to calling out the disrespect of holding family hostage, this one is a gut punch. If you’ve ever wondered why your relationships feel like funerals instead of feasts, tune in. Spoiler: it’s probably because somebody’s been acting like a jackhole.
