    Don’t Tell Daddy S2:E5 We Let AI Speak for Us
    May 5 2026
    DONT TELL DADDY Podcast has built the first mother - daughter podcast that blends real storytelling with AI interaction - and yes, it should feel like something you’ve never seen before. Because Elisabeth Withers (singer/actress) & Chelsea Mendes (pre-law student) are the first to do it. The highlight of this episode is the mother daughter dialogue with real emotional, human moments interwoven with AI-driven interaction, including the introduction of Chelsea’s AI persona. This is intentionally nontraditional. Think show + experience, not just a podcast. The two have built something much deeper while highlighting their original soundtrack April Bloom For Me by MBYGS & Ewmdesk Inc.

  • I Had to Break Myself Down First

    I Had to Break Myself Down First
    Apr 2 2026

    This week, we’re getting real about evolution, not the pretty kind, the painful kind.

    In “I Had to Break Myself Down First,” we talk about:

    • The story and energy behind Mom’s new single and what this era represents
    • Reinventing yourself publicly and unapologetically
    • What it actually looks like to evolve as a woman in music and media
    • Releasing the songs sitting in your notes app (yes, we went there 👀)
    • How AI is starting to play a role in our creative process and the future of the podcast
    • Why breaking yourself down is sometimes the only way to build something better

    This episode is about growth, risk, and stepping into the next version of yourself before you feel “ready.”

    Because sometimes… you don’t glow up.


    You break down first.
