In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome special guest Abby Eckel for a deep dive into why women are still expected to do everything. From domestic labor to emotional labor to the invisible mental load, the conversation unpacks how women, especially mothers, are systematically conditioned to carry responsibilities men routinely avoid. Together, they explore how this imbalance impacts women’s health, relationships, financial security, and sense of self, and why recognizing your worth and maintaining independence is not optional but necessary.
But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign discuss ongoing ICE atrocities in the U.S., including the killing of Renee Good, Kristi Noem delivering a speech while standing at a podium bearing a Nazi slogan, a Christian woman claiming Christianity gave women rights instead of feminism, and react to a viral video of a woman who drove eight hours just to sleep in a prison parking lot to be close to her man. Later, in Mailbag, they respond to a listener struggling with trust after discovering a photo of a naked model on her partner’s phone.
🎧 This episode takes a hard look at the emotional, mental, and logistical labor women shoulder every day, and why men’s refusal to carry their weight has real consequences for women’s well being.
