SUBS: The Money Pushover & A Woman Named Karen

Are you the friend who always picks up the group bill, then silently stews when no one pays you back? The one who'd rather eat the cost than send that awkward "hey, about that money..." text? If you're breaking out in a cold sweat just thinking about asking for your own money back, you might be a money pushover. In today's episode, an Outlouder shares her story of financial awkwardness, and Jessie delivers a masterclass in getting what's owed to you without dying of embarrassment. Plus, what do you do when you become a viral meme? One listener named Karen, is grappling with whether or not to change her name. We weigh in on what she should do.  What to listen to next:  Listen to our latest episode: Ugly Female Friendships & A New Red Carpet Theory Listen: SUBS: We're Desperate To Talk About 'The White Lotus' Season 3 Listen:  Finally, The Person Missing From The Ruby Franke Story Listen: The Sibling Estrangement Story We Can't Stop Thinking About Listen: The Fingering Renaissance Listen: A Forensic Analysis of Meghan Markle’s Announcement Listen: The 'Apple Cider Vinegar' Debrief We All Needed Connect your subscription to Apple Podcasts  Sign up to the Mamamia Out Loud Newsletter for all our recommendations and behind-the-scenes content in one place.  GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?
