Podcast Overview

Millennial mothers were given a roadmap: build the career, find your person, have the kids, and stability would follow. But the generation that waited for dial-up and pen-pal letters grew up to inherit a very different reality. Hosted by Angel — lawyer turned life coach, wife, and mother — We Weren’t Told revisits the expectations millennial women inherited about success, ambition, money, marriage, motherhood, and sexuality. Each episode helps listeners name the tensions and question the rules they’ve been living by and decide, with greater clarity, which ones still belong in their lives.

Episode 17 - Because I Said So

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. A fifteen-second video landed in my high school group chat this week. It was a video of our alma mater's newest graduating class -- cap and gown, hotel ballroom, the whole thing. It sent me straight back to the cafeteria where my class got ours instead. Thirty-one years later, I'm realizing I never actually got over it. In this episode we're talking about:<ul><li>The graduation we were promised versus what we actually got;</li><li>Unpacking what it does to a teen to be told "Because I said so" by an authority who never has to explain herself;</li><li>Watching how one video in a group chat can turn a room of grown women back into fifteen-year-olds; </li><li>Sitting with the people who hurt us, move on, transform, and never once look back;</li><li>Naming the difference between actually processing something versus performing that you're over it;</li><li>Is there a fifteen year old in you somewhere, still standing in a cafeteria, still holding something she was never allowed to put down?</li></ul> Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.Come say hi on Instagram 🫶🏽 @iamangelbr | @iamwewerenttoldpodcast

Episode 16 - I'm Not That Kind of Girl

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. I decided a long time ago that I wasn't a football person. No maps, no cardinal directions, no football — these were just facts about me, or so I thought. Then I asked my gym trainer a question about football, instead of defending my position like usual. Three days later I was on my couch watching Cape Verde play Argentina, completely losing it over a forty-year-old goalkeeper blocking a shot from Messi. In this episode, we're talking about:<ul><li>The identities we build around "things we don't do" — and never once question;</li><li>Why we decide certain things aren't for us, and where those decisions actually come from;</li><li>The one sentence that can change everything for you: "Explain it to me like I'm five";</li><li>Getting fully, shockingly invested in something we swore wasn't ours;</li><li>What a forty-year-old goalkeeper from a country of 500,000 people can teach us about the walls we build around ourselves;</li><li>The question you need to ask -- What have you decided about yourself that you've never actually gone back to test?</li></ul> Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend.

Episode 15 - Because Of, Not In Spite Of

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's.I was recently in a room full of women my age — millennials and Gen X — gathered to learn from a woman who is genuinely excellent at what she does. I'm talking senior in her field and decades in. We were there to receive her professional expertise, the kind that can only be built over real time. And somehow, the conversation kept turning to Gen Z and Gen Alpha, about their discernment, and their freshness, and how the future belong to them. And I found myself in the room thinking: why are we skipping ourselves? In this episode: <ul><li>A room full of accomplished women in attendance to learn from a seasoned expert — and collectively moving past their own value anyway;</li><li>Why the algorithm has trained us to face forward so hard we forget to look at what we're standing on;</li><li>What twenty-plus years of adulting actually gives you — and why it cannot be downloaded, prompted, or fast-tracked;</li><li>The difference between precocious and discerning — and why our generation of parents might want to sit with that one;</li><li>What would it look like to claim our age, our stage, and our experience — because of all of it, not in spite of it?</li></ul>Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.Come say hi on Instagram 🫶🏽 @iamangelbr | @iamwewerenttoldpodcast
