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, healthcare, rights to our bodies, reverence, and on and on. We decided we are done shrinking, over-explaining, pretending the systems we live under aren’t affecting us every single day — in our bodies, our relationships, our paychecks, and our pleasure. Here, we name it. We say it out loud. The moments where we gave the benefit of the doubt — and were gaslit, assaulted, or erased in return. These are conversations we wish we’d had growing up. The truths we’re still uncovering as we talk it out. And we want YOU in the conversation with us! This podcast is for women who are waking up — and ready to start asking: FOR WHAT?

This will entertain AND enlighten you. We’re wrapping up Season 1 with a banger as MBK gives us a better understanding of how we got here — and FOR WHAT? Take a cruise through the men who have been the main characters of influence in her life. See if there’s anything familiar perhaps in YOUR story.
**Per usual, MBK’s life stories...
“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.

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.

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.

We’re listening, we’...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
