Episode 4: Brandy Is Us

from We Weren't Told Hosted by Angel Beswick-Reid

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. Brandy Norwood just published her memoir — and it cracked something open. Because Brandy isn't a celebrity story we're watching from a safe distance. She's one of the girls we grew up with, and what happened to her inside the Good Girl box happened to a lot of us too. This episode is about the binary we were handed, what it cost us, what it did to our sense of ourselves — and what Brandy, at 47, is showing us we're allowed to finally put down. We Weren't Told revisits the expectations millennial mothers inherited about success, ambition, money, marriage, motherhood, and sexuality. Each episode helps listeners navigate the rules they've been living by — and decide, with greater clarity, which ones still belong in their lives. Grab your drink or your iced coffee my friends. It's go time. In this episode: Why Brandy's story is our story — and what the Good Girl box actually cost the girls inside it The binary that shaped how we understood our own desire, our worth, and what we were allowed to want What we need to hand our daughters instead Come say hi on Instagram 👇@iamangelbr @iamwewerenttoldpodcast
