Decentering Marriage

This week, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen explore the concept of decentering marriage, delving into its historical context, societal implications, and the importance of redefining how you view marriage by prioritizing your own life and partnerships over traditional norms.

But first, in our Tea Time segment, they discuss the latest buzz in U.S. politics, including Trump declaring himself “King,” Elon Musk’s latest antics, the revelation that none of the mothers of his 13 known children can reach him, and RFK Jr.'s controversial past.

Later in our Mailbag segment, the hosts help a listener decide whether it’s time to move out of her current living situation, offering advice on navigating independence and personal growth.
