Description

Welcome to FOR WHAT, the stream-of-consciousness podcast where two irreverent sisters go unfiltered and unapologetic on all things power, patriarchy, and the BS women are just DONE tolerating. We started this show because we kept finding ourselves asking, "All these men... FOR WHAT?!" As we began to answer this question about men, SO MUCH more came to the forefront (because honestly, it's always going to be about MORE than men, right?) – it's systems, support (lack thereof), equality, healthcare, rights to our bodies, reverence, and on and on. We decided we are done shrinking, over-explaining, pretending the systems we live under aren’t affecting us every single day — in our bodies, our relationships, our paychecks, and our pleasure.  Here, we name it. We say it out loud. The moments where we gave the benefit of the doubt — and were gaslit, assaulted, or erased in return. These are conversations we wish we’d had growing up. The truths we’re still uncovering as we talk it out. And we want YOU in the conversation with us! This podcast is for women who are waking up — and ready to start asking: FOR WHAT?

10. MBK: Main Character Men (S1 Finale)
2025/10/22
If you have to pick ONE episode to listen to, pick this one! (Highly recommended to listen at 1.5 speed) This will entertain AND enlighten you. We’re wrapping up Season 1 with a banger as MBK gives us a better understanding of how we got here — and FOR WHAT? Take a cruise through the men who have been the main characters of influence in her life. See if there’s anything familiar perhaps in YOUR story.  **Per usual, MBK’s life stories can trigger all kinds of painful experiences for others. This episode is no different— please exercise tender caution for listening to the topics of sensitive nature discussed in this episode.  Important Disclaimer: As you know, we rarely endorse men and the things they do. In this episode, we highly recommend a book written by a man, as it was an impactful resource in MBK‘s journey. However, we do want to acknowledge and caution our sisters — since publishing this book, there have been allegations about the integrity of the author’s behavior, specifically with women. As always, we recommend you trust your intuition and only read/listen to take what resonates and heals you, never blindly or fully giving into anyone else’s thoughts, beliefs or persuasion without critical and deep exploration. In conclusion, we still recommend the book for what it is, but highly caution further in involvement in the author’s other forms of work (therapy, retreats, etc.).  Help us keep recording!

9. Midlife: The Anxiety & Depression of It All
2025/10/15
“Hark! I hear a song…”  We dissect MBK’s midlife crisis (referencing previous podcast episodes!) and get a whiff of her coming back to herself. We hope this episode helps our sisters to feel less alone in the dark parts–bc even Life Coaches don’t have it all together.  Help us keep recording!

8. Pleasure: What We Should Be Talking About
2025/10/08
Buckle in for a classic conversational rollercoaster of an episode! Enjoy some food for thought on sex education and safe pleasure that you mostly likely never heard growing up. And as always, Loren takes us in the weeds… this time about the generations of it all. We finish off with a new idea we’re workshopping that we’d love your input on, so for the love of all, reach out! Help us keep recording!

7. Out Loud: Pregnancy, failure, shame, depression
2025/10/01
We give a SH*T this week (pun intended ;). Or any other week for that matter. Full disclosure: if you don’t enjoy birth stories, TMI, or stories in general, do NOT listen to this episode. And if you DO enjoy them, you’ll love this episode. We’re keeping it real, in story-form, our fav! Help us keep recording!

6. Dating: “What an Insane Person”
2025/09/24
Dive into our personal dumpster fires (specifically MBK’s, per usual). The fickle, feebleness of losing yourself because of so many things – getting sick, summer time, exposure to men, and whatnot. See if Loren can teach us all how to find ourselves again. In this episode we will share some real life dating app stories that are just… well, INSANE. They have us asking, “FOR WHAT?!” every time.

5. Mental: Survival of the Funniest
2025/09/17
Ope! Even worse lighting issues than last week! What a twist… can’t see Loren’s face AT ALL. You’ll just have to imagine what her facial expressions were during this episode. We pretty much cover the full spectrum of life decisions, mental load, support people, and how to f*cking survive in life. So… if any of THAT resonates, join the convo with us.

4. Titles: Men Who Clearly Don't Deserve Them
2025/09/10
Lighting issues! Just trying to keep it interesting! This week: Loren’s face is washed out… honestly it’s so funny to watch her talk. Stay tuned for a fun audio glitch towards the end! In this episode, we’re discussing the very important mental wormhole MBK went down (hint: Tim Ballard unhinged) and Loren’s compelling – albeit overly detailed to an extreme length – story about men being absurd in the workplace. We’re listening, we’re telling stories, we’re ratchet af. Welcome to the convo, Sisters! Help us keep recording!

3. Vibes: Feminine vs Masculine Energy
2025/09/01

We get into women’s moon phases, how to be yourself, and most importantly… Loren eventually gets to tell her story about what she said at work (in the last 3 minutes). It’s getting real and we want to hear what YOUR experiences are! Write us an email or drop a DM on socials, we can’t wait to know what your work vibe is and what feels most genuine for you–masculine traits or feminine expression? We love you ALL!
