263 - Unfiltered Rants & Real Talk

In this solo episode of Season 14, I’m sounding off on what’s been on my mind—from paywalls blocking quality journalism to social media’s shifting role in news consumption.

I kick things off with a fiery rant on paywalls—why is essential news locked behind a subscription while misinformation runs wild? Should reliable information really be a luxury?

Y’all had a LOT to say and break down:

🔥 Losing Twitter as my go-to news source—and struggling to find a decent alternative.
👩🏾‍⚕️ My hysterectomy journey—why we need more real talk on reproductive health.
🤝 The power of community—because having a solid support system is everything.

It’s raw, real, and packed with personal reflections. Tap in and let’s keep this conversation going!
