This podcast feels like a hug (if you’re into that sort of thing). I couldn’t love it more. I wish we got an episode a day, I really do.
The son said loosely that regarding “uniforms” that if a white person has a job interview wearing holes in his/her clothes that the job would be had, where as a black person would not, and while there could be many cases as such depending on the company, position, and person interviewing, I will say that I have received the same declination to a job based on my clothes, if inappropriate, and I’m white. I’m also a woman. I’ve received several rejections for jobs because I am a woman and received ... more
Holy crapamoly! I found this podcast on TikTok 🤣 I have only listened to one episode and laughed hysterically. If you want your 2026 to be better, do yourself a favor and follow this podcast.
Just listened to the latest episode and I have to say Mandy turning the reading into a musical number was just fantastic. Love listening to Don’t Listen To Us!

As the mom of a tween, I especially love hearing about their raising two open-hearted, open-minded sons. I can relate to Mandy’s being extremely hard on himself and his courage to make changes necessary to be less so. I’ve leaned into that courage as well. I absolutely love Kathryn and the way she cha... more
