Content warnings for this episode: I am talking about some topics that can be seen as politically charged. While that is not the point of this episode, it is something to keep in mind. I personally identify with liberal views and values so if you do not, this episode might not be for you. Please practice kindness and understanding while listening to today’s episode. 

In 2024, there are many many things that we are facing as women that are *truly* spooky. In today’s new episode, I break down five things that are TRULY spooky to have to know and realize as a modern day female. You would think we are further along in most of these things but unfortunately we are not. I believe it’s important to stay informed in an age where false information is spread like wildfire. So tune in, take a lesson, and learn!
