About this listen

Lucy and Karen, two 40-somethings, are always chatting about life, and all that it has to throw at them, and now want to share their raw, honest conversations with you. Their journey of finding their own voices, self-discovery and healing is something many of us can relate to. We all possess a unique power within us, but life’s trials often knock us off course. They have the tools, the courage to speak up and simply say it as it is, so you might feel seen, and understood and gain practical tools and techniques for self-discovery and personal growth during the changes we experience.

  • Man Or Bear And Now It’s Your Husband
    Apr 24 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We sit with the shock of a widely reported online “r*pe academy” and what it reveals about drugging, consent, and the scale of misogyny online. We share personal stories, name the anger and exhaustion women carry, and get practical about safety, parenting, and what men must do to stop rape culture.

    • reacting to the reporting, the numbers, and why shock matters
    • how drugging and spiking trauma lives in the body and mind
    • why women feel unsafe even at home
    • the link between objectification, entitlement, and online grooming spaces
    • teaching consent, respect, and what healthy attraction looks like
    • parenting and digital boundaries around gaming, p*rn, and VR
    • practical due diligence, trusting instincts, and noticing relationship shifts
    • what men can do, calling out mates, intervening early, involving police

    Just tune in, listen to your instincts.
    You will know when something is safe or not.
    And if you're not sure, treat it as unsafe.

  • The Power Of Awe and searching for daily hope
    Apr 17 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We talk about awe as a real force that lifts our energy and widens what we believe is possible, especially when winter feels relentless and the news is heavy. We share stories of everyday helpers, then turn that hope into a practical dreaming framework built on micro-choices and honest self-trust.


    • Defining awe and why it changes our perspective
    • Choosing to show up even with pain or fear
    • A civilian act of courage that saves lives
    • Training ourselves to look for the helpers
    • Finding “glimmers” of joy through community kindness
    • Remembering the strangers and mentors who carried us
    • Noticing bitterness as a cue for inner work
    • Releasing anger without projecting it onto others
    • Using micro-choices to move towards a dream
    • Six days of dreaming with rest built in


    Well, we're inviting you to start dreaming. If you're dreaming with us, keep dreaming. We want you to raise your vibration, to reset your energy, and to get clear on your intentions. The message is simple if the world feels dark, switch on the lights. There's no time for stuckness right now. It's a time for you to reconnect for yourselves, for your communities, and for the world you want to live in because you do have a say. Are you ready to join us?

  • How The Manosphere Hooks Boys And Harms Girls
    Apr 3 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We name how the red pill manosphere feeds on low self-worth and turns pain into a performance of power that harms girls, boys, and families. We share what we notice as midlife women, why smartphones and algorithms make this harder, and why integrity and inner work are the only way out.
    • misogyny and male dominance rhetoric showing up in schools and social media
    • Gen X “have it all” messaging and the hidden expectation of traditional gender roles
    • young women choosing not to settle without a true partner
    • grooming dynamics of podcasts, porn, influencers, and algorithmic content
    • loneliness, grief, trauma and abandonment beneath the bravado
    • pseudo-self-esteem and the addictive chase for likes, money and status
    • practical antidotes through parenting boundaries, community spaces and real role models
    • integrity versus pyramid-scheme promises in coaching, spirituality and hustle culture
    • the principle that no one is coming to save us and healing is a personal journey
