The Salty Goddess

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.

Twenty-four years ago, this country watched burning towers in New York City, sirens, smoke, and the lives forever changed. That day, we swore to hold the line for freedom.

Today, I am ashamed. Ashamed to read gleeful posts celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, a husband, a father of two small children, because of his opinions. On 9/11, the enemy came from outside our gates. Yesterday, the festering rot came from within.

This is not a full episode, but a little over 15 minutes of remembrance, grief, and fury. A reminder that freedom isn’t comfort; it’s resilience, courage, and the audacity to speak truth even when it’s unwelcome.

This week’s episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast veers away from menopause to tackle something heavier, rawer, and closer to the bone: suicide and resilience.

Anne Margaret Perry honors Jonathon Feit, CEO of Beyond Lucid Technologies, and his vow to fight until suicide reaches Level Zero. Through her own stories, starting with the magic of her first EMT card and her starry-eyed idealistic viewpoint,  to the brutal realities of inner-city EMS, from cosmic lessons of stardust to the bloody-nosed glory of a Buffalo Bills comeback, she dismantles the myths around suicide, trauma, and ego, and the importance of teaching children to navigate barriers, roadblocks, mistakes and stumbling blocks.

This isn’t a TED Talk or a Hallmark movie. It’s a salty, irreverent, and deeply human conversation about survival, scars, and the daily decision not to give in.

Takeaways:

Suicide and substance use disorder aren’t weakness; they’re trauma responses.

Ego sabotages resilience.

Resilience isn’t noble; it’s messy, feral, and stubborn.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is just not die today.

If BILLS Mafia Members, can hang on year after year, being devastated by loss after loss, disappointment over and over again, you too can learn that same resilience, trust me. AND, if the Bills can come back from a 15 point deficit, in under 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, you can too.

👉 Share this episode if you know someone who needs to hear it. And remember: survival is sometimes the saltiest middle finger you can give to trauma.

Last week’s menopause and low T episode struck a nerve, and the flood of questions told me we’re not done yet. In this follow-up, I tackle your biggest concerns: hot flashes, sleep wreckage, lost libido, and why 8 rushed minutes in a provider’s office will never solve 8 years of suffering. We’ll talk hormone replacement options, sex drive realities, the truth about double-booked appointments, and why keeping a diary of symptoms is your best weapon.  This is for both men and women, my friends, I don't gatekeep!

This isn’t your grandmother’s menopause, or your Daddy's Erectile Dysfunction Playbook, it’s 2025, and you deserve more than lip service and polite nods. It’s time to reclaim your health, your intimacy, your libido, and your dignity.

Why does erectile dysfunction get miracle drugs while menopause gets a pat on the head?

In this salty, no-holds-barred episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry exposes the medical gaslighting that minimizes women’s health, especially menopause. From the FDA’s exclusion of women in trials to the decades-long delay in developing treatments for hot flashes, brain fog, and sexual health, she reveals the receipts on how systemic neglect has wrecked lives, careers, and relationships.

With stats, stories, and straight talk, Anne Margaret tackles:

If you’re tired of being told to “gracefully age” while men get solutions overnight, this episode will light a fire under you. Because seven years of symptoms is not a phase: it’s a policy failure.

You asked. I answered.

What this episode will cover:

Why shortcuts and applause will never save you when shit hits the fan

How to stop being performative and start being competent

The truth about self-sabotage, success, and why failure feels safer

Why boundaries without consequences are just polite pleas

And the one salty truth you should tattoo on your forehead

This isn’t a soft conversation, it’s a full-blown intervention. Buckle up, buttercup.

Representation in fiction isn’t an attack, it’s evolution. In this unapologetic episode, I expose how certain “educators” and online personalities twist art into ammunition for their culture war, profiting from division and outrage. From movies and TV to comics and games, they claim diversity is destruction. I’m here to tell you: that’s pure BS. Art is meant to entertain, inspire, and reflect our growing world, not serve as a wedge issue for ad revenue. It’s time to take back your joy, your stories, and your ability to think critically without being played like a cheap guitar.

Listen in if you’re ready to:

Stop letting fake culture warriors dictate your emotions

See through the outrage-for-profit playbook

Reclaim art as a space for inspiration, not division
