  • Who Owns the Story After the Body is Missing. #MissingVoices #NarrativeControl #StoryOwnership
    Jan 28 2026

    When someone goes missing, silence takes over — and silence invitescontrol.

    In Episode 2 of Season 4, Olga Foreign explores what happens when aperson’s story is managed in their absence. Through the haunting transformationof Margaret — a woman slowly rewritten once she disappears — this episodereveals how memory is curated, complexity is softened, and truth becomesnegotiable.

    From families to institutions, this episode asks a deeper question:

    Who controls meaning once the original voice can no longer interrupt thenarrative?

    This isn’t about lies.
    It’s about ownership.

    And what happens when silence gives permission.

  • The Auction Begins
    Jan 21 2026

    Season 4 Episode 1

    What happens after someone dies isn’t just grief.It’s negotiation.

    In this opening episode of Season 4, Olga Foreign traces the quiet moment when the past stops being inherited and starts being sold — not for money, but for comfort, cohesion, and control.

    Through an intimate bedside story and a widening lens, this episode asks a larger question:

    Is the past a commodity that can be sold to the highest bidder?

    From personal memory to collective history, Episode 1 explores how stories are edited once the original voice is gone — and how truth can survive, circulate, and still lose its power to interrupt.

    This is not an episode about lies.
    It’s about what happens when truth is known — and politely ignored.

    Season 4 begins here.

    WHO YELLING NOW? — Season 3 Episode 13 Finale
    “I’m OK — I Know It’s a Lie”

    We say it every day.
    At work. To friends. To family. To ourselves.

    “I’m OK.”

    But what if it isn’t the truth—just the easiest answer?

    In the final episode of The Lies We Tell Ourselves,we explore why so many of us keep functioning, producing, and showing up whilequietly carrying exhaustion, loneliness, and unspoken weight.

    No crisis.
    No breakdown.
    Just the cost of always being “fine.”

    This episode isn’t about fixing anything.
    It’s about noticing what we’ve learned to ignore.

    If you’ve ever said “I’m OK” and hoped no one would askmore—
    this one’s for you.

      • Is This A Gift? #Who Yelling Now? #Christmas#reflection#holidays
        Dec 24 2025

        Who Yelling Now? Season 3 Bonus.

        Christmas is the season of giving but its also the season when many of us sit with things we never asked for and were taught to call gifts.

        In this special bonus episode, we pause to ask a gentle but uncomfortable question:

        " How do you tell the difference between a gift and a burden you were taught to be grateful for?"

        This episode explores:

        Responsibilities handed down as love.

        Roles assigned without consent.

        Expectations wrapped in tradition.

        and the quiet permission to ask, what are you still carrying.

        Is This a Gift? Is not about blame or rejection. It's about awareness, honesty and giving yourself room to breathe, especially during a season that asks us to perform joy.


        A Christmas reflection for anyone who loves deeply, carries quietly, and is learning to ask better questions.

        Season 3, Episode 10 — “If It Is Yours…”

        Why do we fight so hard for things that cannot stay —
        or for things that were already meant for us?

        This episode explores the tension between effort anddestiny,
        the inherited fear that drives overworking,
        and the quiet truth that what is yours cannot be taken
        and what is not cannot be kept.

        Featuring:
        • A grounding poem on effort and destiny
        • The story of a young woman fighting for a house she was never meant to earn
        • A series of reflective poems on regret, release, and receiving
        • A reminder that peace begins when we stop confusing struggle with purpose

        A healing episode for anyone tired from the chase.

      • Things That Hide in Too Much Light. #LifeLessons#CulturalCommentary#QuestionEverything#HiddenInPlainSight
        Dec 10 2025

        WHO YELLING NOW — S3 EP9“The Things That Hide in Too Much Light” What if the brightest places in our world are the ones hiding the biggest truths?

        In this episode, Olga Foreign exposes the illusions that don’t hide in darkness, but in too much light — the ideas so trendy, so “obvious,” and so widely accepted that nobody stops to question them.

        Through a sharp, hilarious parable of a desert neighborhood ripping the roofs off their homes to follow a trend they can’t afford, Olga examines how society glamorizes ideas that collapse the moment the weather changes. And how our eyes, our minds, and our politics all get blinded by brilliance we never stopped to inspect.

        This is an episode about perception, imitation, responsibility, and the cost of following someone else’s vision without asking the one question that matters:

        “Can you afford their idea?”

        Stay tuned for the poem “The Blinded Room,” and a lesson in why light can hide truth just as deeply as shadow.
