FOR WHAT Podcast

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,…

9. Midlife: The Anxiety & Depression of It All

“Hark! I hear a song…” We dissect MBK’s midlife crisis (referencing previous podcast episodes!) and get a whiff of her coming back to herself. We hope this episode helps our sisters to feel less alone in the dark parts–bc even Life Coaches don’t have it all together. Help us keep recording!

7. Out Loud: Pregnancy, failure, shame, depression

We give a SH*T this week (pun intended ;). Or any other week for that matter. Full disclosure: if you don’t enjoy birth stories, TMI, or stories in general, do NOT listen to this episode.

6. Dating: “What an Insane Person”

Dive into our personal dumpster fires (specifically MBK’s, per usual). The fickle, feebleness of losing yourself because of so many things – getting sick, summer time, exposure to men, and whatnot. See if Loren can teach us all how to find ourselves again. In this episode we will share some real life dating app stories that are just… well, INSANE. They have us asking, “FOR WHAT?!” every time. Help…

5. Mental: Survival of the Funniest

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. Help us keep recording!…

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

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…

3. Vibes: Feminine vs Masculine Energy

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…
