About this listen
We’re back after missing last Wednesday and Friday (Yashua’s sciatica flare-up had her OUT), and this episode goes from recovery mode to real-life debates fast.
We break down TLC’s Unexpected and the reality of teen pregnancy — including the 13-year-old father and the 15-year-old mother preparing for a baby. Why does society still place most of the blame on teen moms while teen dads are allowed to “live their life”? Ashley talks about the lack of open conversations between parents and kids, and Yashua calls out the double standards young women face.
Then we zoom out into the larger stigma women deal with daily — especially around periods and the pressure to hide something completely natural. Why are we still whispering about tampons like it’s a crime?
And because we can’t stay serious for too long… yes, we address the viral “cooter muffins” conversation that Instagram decided we all needed to see.
Teen pregnancy. Accountability. Period stigma. Internet chaos.
It’s layered. It’s honest. It’s us.
