Audacious Freedom

Dee Dee Mendez

I weave vulnerability, empathy, and a healthy dose of sass together in my popular women’s self help youtube channel, Audacious Freedom. I share stories from my life— often embarrassing or funny, but always raw and real— covering everything from childhood to divorce to single motherhood to dating. Not only do I reflect on my own lived experiences, but I also share what I have learned along the way. I aim to open myself up to listeners with fearless transparency that will give you both comfort and inspiration. Audacious Freedom reminds us to stop striving for perfection.

    Episode #30: Damn, Sometimes I Miss Smoking Cigarettes

    Even though cigarettes can kill you, I still can remember - decades later - the ritual of smoking them. And sometimes, I actually have little flickers of memories of the ritual and wonder if I would smoke cigarettes again if ever a *healthy* and *non-stinky* version of cigarettes were made. (Not e-cigarettes).

    Episode #26: I Did Not Name My Daughter After a Damn Car

    I don’t know why this pisses me off, but it seems that more and more when we meet new people, some think that I named my daughter after a damn car. No, I did not name my daughter after a damn car. I named my daughter after my mother, Mercedes.

    Episode #25: Uncle G - You are a F*cking D*ck

    This episode’s title kinda tells it all, but it doesn’t tell you why. Well, let’s just say he told me that he was unable to “cheer me on” for my choice to become a single mom. Take a listen to how I responded to him over 12 years ago. And how I responded to him a couple of weeks ago.

Join me on this episode as I share the pain and the things I would tell my future self to do differently in our next move!
