The Audaci-Tea

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.

 

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

The mental load and invisible labor women carry

Emotional labor and gendered expectations in relationships

Why women undervalue their own contributions

Financial independence and power dynamics in marriage

The toll of unequal labor on women’s health and motherhood

Trust, intuition, and knowing when something is wrong

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign dive into the tension between feminism and Christianity, unpacking whether the two can truly coexist. They examine how patriarchal power structures within organized religion shape women’s roles, beliefs, and expectations, and question the growing trend of women promoting “traditional values” while benefiting from feminist progress.

But first, in Tea Time, they discuss updates on the felony strangulation charges against Stefon Diggs, Trump’s takeover in Venezuela and the freezing of federal childcare payments, and react to a viral video of a man whose wife left him on Christmas morning. Later, in a round of Therapy Or The Void, the hosts review 10 Things I Hate About You and debate which characters need therapy and which should be thrown directly into the void.

 

🎧 This episode explores how feminism challenges religious patriarchy, why submission narratives persist, and what it means to build morality, autonomy, and self worth outside of male authority.

 

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

Feminism and Christianity under patriarchy

Women’s autonomy versus religious submission

Traditional gender roles and feminist hypocrisy

Patriarchal power structures in organized religion

Morality outside religious authority

Cultural backlash to women’s independence

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign explore what womanhood looks like when it is no longer shaped by patriarchy, the male gaze, or the need for male approval. Together, they break down how women are conditioned to perform, shrink, and self police, and what it actually means to live authentically, freely, and on your own terms.

But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign discuss the killing of Imani Smith, a Broadway actress best known for her work in The Lion King, a disturbing video of a man threatening women’s rights, a viral Reddit breakup story, and the public reaction to Stefon Diggs and Cardi B (Please note, this episode was recorded BEFORE new broke of Stefon Diggs being charged with folony strangulation of a woman). Later, in the Mailbag, they respond to a listener asking whether men become meaner toward women once they turn 30.

 

🎧 This episode unpacks how reclaiming womanhood is a deeply personal journey, why empowerment comes from within, and how women can detach from patriarchal expectations without losing themselves in the process.

 

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

Womanhood outside of patriarchy and the male gaze

Decentering men and reclaiming women’s autonomy

How the male gaze shapes women’s identity and safety

Self discovery, authenticity, and personal agency

Women, aging, and male resentment

Choosing fulfillment over external validation

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign are joined by special guest Queen Sovereign for a direct and unfiltered conversation about the fragile male ego and the ways it shapes men’s behavior, relationships, and reactions to women’s autonomy. Together, they examine how ego, entitlement, and insecurity often drive harm, control, and disrespect toward women, and why those patterns are so rarely challenged.

But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign break down a chaotic news cycle, including Nicki Minaj’s public MAGA pivot and comments involving J.D. Vance, a disturbing case involving boys sharing AI generated nude images of a 13 year old girl with no consequences, and the internet’s response to both Jake Paul and Andrew Tate taking public losses. Later, in another round of "This You?", the hosts unpack a Reddit post about a husband who gave away his wife’s expensive sake without asking, and what it reveals about male entitlement and disregard for women’s boundaries.

 

🎧 This episode takes a clear eyed look at male ego, power, and validation, and how women are expected to manage the emotional fallout.

 

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

The fragile male ego and emotional insecurity

Male entitlement and boundary violations

How patriarchy operates through fear and control

Loneliness and validation seeking in men

Decentering men and reclaiming women’s autonomy

Setting boundaries with emotionally immature men

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign take on one of the most persistent myths men love to repeat: that they are simple, low maintenance, and easy to please, and that women are the ones who make life complicated. Together, they unpack how this narrative functions as a form of gaslighting that shifts responsibility, emotional labor, and accountability onto women.
But first, in Tea Time, they discuss the tragic passing connected to Rob and Michele Reiner and what it reveals about male mental health, a new UK curriculum aimed at teaching boys to respect women, a viral TikTok of a man spiraling over his wife doing his laundry “wrong,” and a disturbing story of a man abandoning his girlfriend during a mugging. In the Mailbag, they answer a listener question about navigating relationships with misogynistic family members you still love.

 

🎧 This episode breaks down the illusion of male simplicity, how “low maintenance” often masks emotional immaturity, and why women are expected to absorb the fallout.

 

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

The myth of men being low maintenance and emotionally simple

How emotional labor and household management fall on women

Male emotional regulation and its impact on relationships

The fear of male aggression and how it shapes women’s behavior

Why women are increasingly rethinking marriage and partnership

Loving sexist or emotionally immature men and setting boundaries
