We Weren't Told

Episode 9: The S Word

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. I had coffee recently with a woman I've known since I was four years old — same prep school, same high school, now both mothers of twelve-year-olds. Part of our convo was about what Catholic school did to us, and what it quietly withheld -- the S words. Both of them — sex and silence. And either way, we were never supposed to talk about either one. In this episode, I'm talking about the silence around sex and desire that shaped us as girls — and what it's costing us and our children, if we don't name it. In this episode: * What Catholic school's silence actually taught us about our bodies * Why our mothers couldn't give us what they'd never been given * How I came to understand virginity as a transaction — and why * The conversations I'm determined to have with my son that nobody had with me * Why silence was never neutral — it was always a position * What did the silence cost you — and what are you doing differently? Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time. Come say hi on Instagram 🫶🏽 @iamangelbr | @iamwewerenttoldpodcast

Episode 8: What Happens When the Street Goes Quiet?

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. I was at my favourite café last week — the one I go to alone, to write — when something ordinary happened — a cashier was filming content, a beautiful young man stepped into the sunlight, and I realised I was on the other side of the camera entirely. In this episode, I'm talking about the part of us that still wants to be seen — and why nobody told us that wanting wouldn't just quietly resolve itself. In this episode: * The café moment that made me sit with something I wasn't expecting * The internal version of ourselves we've been living inside for years * What the marriage script told us about desirability — and what it got wrong * The honest question we don't ask enough about being noticed * Why the wanting is not the problem * The question to sit with: Are you still giving yourself permission to want to be seen? Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time. Come say hi on Instagram 🫶🏽 @iamangelbr | @iamwewerenttoldpodcast

Episode 7: Crashout Season

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. I'm going to be honest with you — I have been crashing out for the last two weeks. Eleven minute voice notes, therapy, ceiling-staring. A full, sustained emotional crash. And I almost didn't make this episode because I kept waiting until I had something neat to say about it. I don't. What I have is the crash itself. And I think that might be more useful. In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when life hands you something the script never prepared you for — and why falling apart might be exactly the right response. In this episode: * The funeral that cracked everything open * The script we were all handed — and the chapter it's missing * Why the crash is not a malfunction, it's a reckoning * What it means to have somewhere safe to fall apart * The kind of strength nobody told us to build * The question to sit with: Who are the people you can crash with? Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time. Come say hi on Instagram! 🫶🏽@iamangelbr | @iamwewerenttoldpodcast

Episode 6: The Jealousy Card

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. By now you've seen the video. Noah Lyles. Junelle Bromfield. The dress reveal. And we need to talk about it — not just the moment itself, but what the reaction to it revealed about something much deeper that millennial women were handed a long time ago. 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: * The dress reveal — and the moment that started it all * The pushback, and why none of it moved me * Janelle's response — and the line I couldn't stop thinking about * The lie we were raised inside about other women * What we're slowly, finally, unlearning 👉🏽Watch my reaction video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXR0sWykf7P/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXR0sWykf7P/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] Come say hi on Instagram 👇🏽@iamangelbr@iamwewerenttoldpodcast

Episode 5: Off the Menu

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
