About this listen

Welcome to FOR WHAT, the stream-of-consciousness podcast where two irreverent sisters go unfiltered and unapologetic on all things power, patriarchy, and the BS women are just DONE tolerating.

We started this show because we kept finding ourselves asking, "All these men... FOR WHAT?!" As we began to answer this question about men, SO MUCH more came to the forefront (because honestly, it's always going to be about MORE than men, right?) – it's systems, support (lack thereof), equality, healthcare, rights to our bodies, reverence, and on and on. We decided we are done shrinking, over-explaining, pretending the systems we live under aren’t affecting us every single day — in our bodies, our relationships, our paychecks, and our pleasure.

Here, we name it. We say it out loud. The moments where we gave the benefit of the doubt — and were gaslit, assaulted, or erased in return. These are conversations we wish we’d had growing up. The truths we’re still uncovering as we talk it out. And we want YOU in the conversation with us!

This podcast is for women who are waking up — and ready to start asking: FOR WHAT?

    Ope! Even worse lighting issues than last week! What a twist… can’t see Loren’s face AT ALL. You’ll just have to imagine what her facial expressions were during this episode. We pretty much cover the full spectrum of life decisions, mental load, support people, and how to f*cking survive in life. So… if any of THAT resonates, join the convo with us. We love you big time.

    4. Titles: Men Who Clearly Don't Deserve Them
    Sep 10 2025

    Lighting issues! Just trying to keep it interesting! This week: Loren’s face is washed out… honestly it’s so funny to watch her talk. Stay tuned for a fun audio glitch towards the end! In this episode, we’re discussing the very important mental wormhole MBK went down (hint: Tim Ballard unhinged) and Loren’s compelling – albeit overly detailed to an extreme length – story about men being absurd in the workplace. We’re listening, we’re telling stories, we’re ratchet af. Welcome to the convo, Sisters!

    3. Vibes: Male Loneliness, Work Woman Persona, Feminine vs Masculine Energy
    Sep 1 2025

    Ever heard of the “Male Loneliness Epidemic”? Well, we solved it in 8 minutes! Yeah… we’re doing super important work together on the pod. Seriously, though we’re discussing the roles we are assigned in families, as women in the workplace, in our own psyches. We get into women’s moon phases, how to be yourself, and most importantly… Loren eventually gets to tell her story about what she said at work (in the last 3 minutes). It’s getting real and we want to hear what YOUR experiences are! Write us an email or drop a DM on socials, we can’t wait to know what your work vibe is and what feels most genuine for you–masculine traits or feminine expression? We love you ALL! Thank you for listening to our stories about life and womanhood.
