About Lo-Unmuted

Short, unfiltered voice notes from a solo woman with something to say. Welcome to Lo Unmuted! Where I press record and say what's on my mind. From menopause mood swings and TV show rants to dating (or not), solo living, money matters and the occasional side-eye to society, these unapologetic sound bites are being recorded from my life in the Dollhouse. beingloraine.substack.com

Self Discovery Through Music

There’s a version of you that already exists. Not the one people expect.Not the one you’ve performed.But the one that feels like truth when everything else gets quiet. And sometimes… you don’t hear her through words. You hear her through sound. Music has a way of bypassing logic and going straight to identity.It reveals what you’re craving… what you’re healing… what you’re stepping into. Pay attention to what you’re drawn to lately. Not what you used to love.Not what feels familiar. But what resonates now. Because your taste shifts when you shift. Your rhythm changes when your life changes. And your becoming? It has a sound. The question is… are you listening to it? #selfdiscovery #personalbranding This is a public episode.

episode Moving Differently in Silence artwork

Moving Differently in Silence

Ever felt guilty for not sharing everything? Here’s why moving in silence might be your best choice. Tag someone who needs to hear this! I’ve been quiet lately, not because I don’t have things happening, but because I’m deeply in a transformative space. My podcast, my business, everything is shifting. And for the first time, I’m realizing that not every thought or plan needs to be shared. It’s a new journey for me, one where I’m learning to hold onto my sacred moments without feeling the pressure to explain. Sometimes, the most powerful decisions are the ones we keep close to our hearts. Moving in silence doesn’t mean hiding; it’s about honoring your process. Have you ever felt the need to pull back? Trust that instinct. You’re not being distant; you’re being directed. See you next week for more insights! #LoUnmuted #PersonalGrowth #TrustYourJourney #Podcasting #HonoringYourProcess This is a public episode.

My Two Cents: The Devil Wears Prada 2

Did anyone else feel the absence of current fashion influences in the new Devil Wears Prada sequel? 🤔 Tag someone who needs to hear this! I just walked out of the theater and had some thoughts swirling in my head. While I enjoyed the movie, it felt like something was missing. Where was the representation of today’s fashion scene? Law Roach made a brief appearance, but it was too quick. We live in an era where fashion is shaped by social media and influencers, yet the film didn’t capture that. The disconnect is real. We need to see the voices that shape style in our daily lives, not just the magazine covers. This film needed to embrace the current landscape of fashion. What do you think? Did you notice the same thing? Let’s chat in the comments! See you next Wednesday, and remember to stay unmuted! #DevilWearsPrada #FashionRevolution #CulturalVoices #LawRoach #FashionInfluence This is a public episode.

episode The Life I No Longer Fit artwork

The Life I No Longer Fit

Ever felt like you’ve outgrown your life? Here’s how I realized mine wasn’t fitting anymore. 💭 Tag someone who needs to hear this! After my retirement, I thought I needed stillness, but something felt off. I poured my energy into creating a peaceful home, but then I started to feel underused, like I was shrinking into a life that didn’t reflect who I really am. I miss the energy of the city, the vibrancy of being around passionate people. This quiet life served me for a time, but I had to admit it wasn’t my forever. Growth isn’t just about moving forward; sometimes it’s about returning to your true self. If you’re feeling that inner voice saying, “this isn’t it,” listen. You deserve to seek out what truly aligns with you. This is my journey of being honest with myself, and if it resonates with you, know you’re not alone. 💗 Let’s keep this conversation going! #Unmuted #SelfDiscovery #PersonalGrowth #LivingAuthentically #MentalHealthMatters This is a public episode.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
