Hi, You Down? fans! We're excited for the launch of the Dominant Stories podcast hosted by culture expert Jess Weiner. It's a brand new show from Shondaland and iHeartRadio and we think you'll enjoy it too. Don't just take our word for it, though. Check out the trailer and decide for yourself!

About the podcast: Dominant Stories is a conversation series that reclaims and rewrites the stories we’ve been told about our bodies, our beauty, our creativity, and our identities. For example, does your inner monologue sound like: “I’m not good enough, pretty enough or thin enough”? How about: “I can’t do that” or “I’m not worthy”? These are what Cultural Expert and host Jess Weiner calls our Dominant Stories - the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves (whether they are true or not). This show has stemmed from Jess’ personal and professional mission to help people challenge the external (and internal) voices that are holding them back from living the life they desire and deserve. Through witty, curious, and hopeful conversations with celebrated guests, we’ll unpack, challenge, and change these Dominant Stories.

Listen and subscribe to Dominant Stories with Jess Weiner on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts!

When did you know that you had arrived at adulthood? In this episode, OOD discusses what it means to be a modern adult. From growing breasts to getting tattoos to buying health insurance, becoming a “grown-up” isn’t exactly the fantasy they pictured as kids. But it’s not all bills and wrinkles. Wiith age comes wisdom, perspective, and maybe (just maybe) a little more happiness. Plus, a listener writes in to ask OOD if they are appropriating or appreciating black culture, and the girls dish them up some tough love.
