Episode 15: Making progress on Wanting More — Motherhood, Guilt & Identity Expansion

from The Progress Girls · host Madison Rae and Whitney Taussig

Madison’s dog Alfredo joins as a “guest” to deliver hot takes (conceptually), while Whitney and Madison spiral through pop culture chaos—from Chappell Roan’s dress at the Grammys, to A$AP Rocky floating a NYC mayoral run, Real Housewives shakeups, and questionable celebrity news. Beneath the laughs, this episode gets real: motherhood, ambition, guilt, and the tension of loving your life while still wanting more. They unpack guilt vs. shame vs. conditioning, why ambition in mothers is labeled “selfish,” and the reframe we all need: guilt isn’t always a signal—sometimes it’s an echo. This one’s for moms, non-moms, and anyone navigating identity expansion without self-abandonment. You’re allowed to grow—and if this episode hits, congrats… you’re progressing, you little Progress Girl you!
