Episode Details

Have you ever felt like you're losing a piece of yourself in a relationship? Like the 'you' before your partner slowly fades away? In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa and Sovereign are diving deep into why so many women find themselves in this exact situation, exploring the subtle shifts and societal pressures that lead to a diminished sense of self when partnered. But first, in Tea Time, they discuss the latest NBC poll revealing Gen Z’s gender divide on what success means, Epstein’s infamous birthday book, and the heartbreaking story of an elderly man scammed by Meta’s flirty AI chatbot. Later, the hosts debut a brand new game called Therapy or the Void, putting characters of Sex and the City to the ultimate test.

• Why women minimize themselves to fit societal expectations
• Sacrificing dreams and identity for partners
