Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's.

The internet has a menu for you. Option one: trad wife, sourdough from scratch, a starter named Gerald, submission as aesthetic. Option two: marriage is a trap, domesticity is a con, ascend or be complicit. And somewhere between the MAHA moms and the TikTok feminists — in that gap the algorithm doesn't know what to do with — are women like me. Women who don't fit either door. This episode is for them.

We Weren't Told revisits the expectations millennial mothers inherited about success, ambition, money, marriage, motherhood, and sexuality. Each episode helps listeners navigate the rules they've been living by — and decide, with greater clarity, which ones still belong in their lives.

Grab your drink or your iced coffee my friends. It's go time.

In this episode:

• Why identity boxes are a stress response — and why the algorithm makes them worse
• Angel gets personal: lawyer, stay-at-home mom, domestic engineer, and why none of those labels tell the whole story
• The specific exhaustion of getting pressure from both sides when you refuse to pick a lane
• The women living in the gap — and why being unclassifiable is not confusion, it's a conclusion
• What we hand forward to our children when we model the courage to actually think

Brandy Norwood just published her memoir — and it cracked something open. Because Brandy isn't a celebrity story we're watching from a safe distance. She's one of the girls we grew up with, and what happened to her inside the Good Girl box happened to a lot of us too. This episode is about the binary we were handed, what it cost us, what it did to our sense of ourselves — and what Brandy, at 47, is showing us we're allowed to finally put down.

In this episode:

• Why Brandy's story is our story — and what the Good Girl box actually cost the girls inside it
• The binary that shaped how we understood our own desire, our worth, and what we were allowed to want
• What we need to hand our daughters instead

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's.

This Friday is the fifth anniversary of my father's death. This Sunday, I'll be at carnival road march in Jamaica — sequins, soca, full colour, all of it. And I'm not pretending those two things don't exist in the same week, in the same chest. Because they do. And nobody told me they would.

So today, we tell each other.

In this episode, I'm talking about the oak tree you didn't know was protecting you until it was gone — and what it means to learn to stand in the open sun.

In this episode:

• Why my body knows April is coming before my mind does
• The oak tree metaphor that found me when I needed it most
• What the first year of grief actually feels like
• Why grief doesn't heal — it becomes part of your system
• Holding carnival joy and a father's anniversary in the same chest, in the same week
• The question to sit with: Who is your oak tree?

Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.
