Words With Wista
Welcome to the show where we dive into the things I want to talk about—not what you want to talk about, because if we were doing that, you’d be here… but you’re not. I’m Wista, a Zillennial navigating the twists and turns of life without crashing out. This podcast is your unfiltered dose of real talk, raw energy, and a little chaos as I unpack culture, life lessons, and everything in between. Plug in, lean back, and let’s figure this out together.

It’s Pride Month, and while the world’s out here voguing, Elon Musk and Trump are busy pulling each other’s wigs.

This week, we’re diving into a little bit of everything—so buckle up! First off, the power of the tongue is real, and some of y’all are out here manifesting L’s instead of wins (might be time to speak nicer to yourself, bestie). Meanwhile, folks attacking Tesla dealerships are now being labeled as hate crimes. Kanye is spiraling (again), and at this point, it’s like watching a rerun nobody asked for.
