Send us a text!!In this episode of Mood Swings, Jae and Kendra crack open the glittery trap that was the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program, aka the place where all the “smart kids” were told they were special… and then quietly handed lifelong anxiety. The girls discuss the GATE program and unpack the long-term impact of being labeled “gifted” as children. From academic pressure and identity struggles to conspiracy theories about memory wipes and “the pink drink,” this episode explores how early labels shape adulthood — and whether being gifted was a blessing… or a setup. Support the showCredits: Hosted and produced by:  Jae VanBuskirk & Kendra MarshallMood Swings theme song produced by Thumper Studios, CA.Composed by Joel G Drums.
