Episode 5: Off the Menu
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. The internet has a menu for you. Option one: trad wife, sourdough from scratch, a starter named Gerald, submission as aesthetic. Option two: marriage is a trap, domesticity is a con, ascend or be complicit. And somewhere between the MAHA moms and the TikTok feminists — in that gap the algorithm doesn't know what to do with — are women like me. Women who don't fit either door. This episode is for them. 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 identity boxes are a stress response — and why the algorithm makes them worse Angel gets personal: lawyer, stay-at-home mom, domestic engineer, and why none of those labels tell the whole story The specific exhaustion of getting pressure from both sides when you refuse to pick a lane The women living in the gap — and why being unclassifiable is not confusion, it's a conclusion What we hand forward to our children when we model the courage to actually think Come say hi on Instagram 👇@iamangelbr @iamwewerenttoldpodcast
