93. More Women Should Be Doing This
Being assertive and taking risks are typically viewed as masculine behavior reserved for men. But our friend Maya (from Chicago, IL) thinks that there’s no reason women can’t display the same behavior. In fact, she believes that women will be much more satisfied with their lives if they chose to do so. — This episode will give you a chance to hear the Chicago accent and the Ebonics dialect of American English.

92. Modern Women's Dilemma
In her article titled "A Partial Explanation of Zoomer Girl Derangement,” writer Zinnia, talks about the changes girls go through as they become women, focusing on how society views them. She explains the mixed feelings girls have about getting attention from men, feeling both powerful and vulnerable. Zinnia also criticizes how social media and modern culture affect young women, making it hard for them to understand their worth. She suggests that girls need honest advice to balance their desires and the pressures they face as they grow up. In today’s episode, I’ll be reading the article to you and leaving you with something to think about.

90. Why Are You So Quiet?
If you’re someone who’s comfortable being quiet in the presence of others, you might have noticed that your tendency to remain quiet drives some people crazy. You probably know how annoying it is to find out that someone doesn’t like you simply because you don’t speak as much as they would like you to.
Well in this episode, I’m gonna share a few ideas that might help you understand the mentality of the people who feel the need to ask, “Why are you so quiet?” And hopefully, help the people asking this question to understand the quiet ones a bit more as well.
