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 28 - Do Millennials Know What Rest Actually Means?
have a coloring book from the pharmacy, an embroidery hoop, and a guilty voice that shows up at the end of the day to tell me that’s all I did. This week, I’m talking about where that voice came from and why I’m done listening to it.
In this episode we’re:
Questioning the word “all” in “all you did today was rest,” and what it assumes about our worth.
Breaking down the different types of rest, and why we’re still tired when we only get one or two.
Tracing our guilt back through Seventeen magazine, pencil skirts at the club, and the Boss Babe years.
Unlearning the idea that rest is something we earn at the end of the hustle.
Telling the difference between rest that’s collapse and rest that’s nourishing.

Episode 27 - If At First You Don’t Succeed, Titrate Titrate Again
Two weeks ago I gave you an assignment, then went quiet to do one of my own: a virtual writer’s summit that introduced me to a concept I haven’t stopped thinking about since, and a reminder that a year ago I had no podcast and now I have twenty-five episodes.
In this episode we’re:
Unpacking titration, the somatic creativity practice of approaching hard things in small, measured doses so your nervous system stays regulated.
Comparing writing to labor: immense, painful work that is marvelous at the end, with both things true at once.
Revisiting what it looked like to go to the edge of tender material, pull back, and return, instead of white-knuckling through it.
Naming how micro-steps, not a perfect launch plan, turned no podcast at 42 into twenty-five episodes at 43.
Rethinking the boomer-era belief that the title is the destination, and what the YouTuber kids understood that we didn’t.

Episode 26 - Time to Get Your Shit Together!
A tattoo on the wrist of an 80-year-old woman I met in Wisconsin, some feedback from a faithful listener, and a book that finally convinced me to stop waiting for my ducks to get in a row. It's a short one this week, because I'm practising what I preach! Let's get our shit together, well -- TOGETHER!
In this episode we're:
Revisiting the woman over 80 I met in Wisconsin, and the "Stay curious" tattoo she got when she turned 80.
Thanking Fran, my faithful listener and now pen pal, for feedback that's already changing the show.
Practising active listening: putting down the urge to get defensive or answer back, and opening up to receive.
Unpacking the biggest gem from Get Your Shit Together by Sarah Knight: don't let perfectionism stand in the way of progress.
Encouraging you to stop waiting on the ducks to get in a row and just start the thing.
Missed the Wisconsin story? Listen to Episode 22 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/1nFnAYlz5oMULU9S0mj5wd).
And if you want to hear where the book first came up, catch last week's Episode 25 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3psskvCa77XtVKXFlaNoVJ).
Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.
