🎙️ Mindf@ck Monday – When Faith Becomes Policy, Who Gets Protected?

When headlines feel like they need a trigger warning, you’ve landed in the right podcast. This week, protests erupted nationwide—and in a plot twist no one saw coming, the Boomers showed up like it was Woodstock all over again. Their signs may be vintage, but their outrage is very 2025.

From dangerous proclamations wrapped in faith-based language to economic chaos served with a side of Trump-era déjà vu, the political whiplash is real. Oh, and if you thought tornadoes and climate denial couldn’t make the same headline, think again.

We’re peeling back the polite press releases and calling out the sinister messaging hidden in plain sight. Because when government policy starts sounding like a sermon, you better believe we’re paying attention.

🎧 Tap play, bring your sass, and let’s break it down—because Mindf@ck Monday is here, and baby, we’ve got receipts.

👀 Don’t stop here! Catch me midweek for Woke-ish Wednesday—where the vibe is reflective, real, and a little bit rebellious. And don’t miss Female Friday, where we celebrate women, rage against the patriarchy, and sip tea while spilling truth.
