    The Mental Load of Summer Camp | Julie Kim | Bothered Podcast #52

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. Summer camp registration is basically the Olympics for moms and this year Julie signed her kid up from a hot yoga class in Moncton while 900 parents sat ahead of her in a digital queue. From melting phones and downward dog stress to coordinating with other families, overnight camp FOMO and the invisible mental load that somehow always lands on women, Julie unpacks why moms are still the default camp coordinators even when men can run fantasy leagues and corporations. It is about camps, but it is really about resentment, partnership dynamics, outsourcing childhood, grocery strategy, rotisserie chicken survival meals and the quiet rage of doing everything because it is "just easier." If you have ever refreshed a registration page, carried the family calendar in your brain or wondered why you are the CEO of logistics at home, this one is for you.

    That Seems Unsafe | Julie Kim | Bothered Podcast #049

    Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim breaks down one of those airplane moments that makes absolutely no sense. While seated in an emergency exit row, Julie realizes the responsibility for opening the exit door has been assigned to a woman who looks about 100 years old and barely holding on meanwhile a fully jacked capable guy sits comfortably in the aisle seat with zero responsibility at all. Julie unpacks the absurd logic behind airline seating rules, unspoken social expectations, and why responsibility always seems to land on the wrong person. It's funny, awkward, and painfully relatable especially if you've ever wondered who actually decides this stuff.

    Eyes That Kiss In The Corners | Julie Kim | Bothered Podcast #045

    Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim calls out a racist gesture that should not still be happening but somehow keeps resurfacing. Julie breaks down a moment where someone pulled their eyes back to mock Asians and why this kind of behavior is not harmless not funny and not something people get to excuse away as ignorance. She connects it to the recent Miss Universe winner from Finland who did the same gesture publicly and unpacks how exhausting it is to watch grown adults pretend they do not know exactly what they are doing. Julie speaks honestly about the casual normalization of anti Asian racism the emotional toll of having to explain why it is offensive and the frustration of seeing the same apologies play out over and over again. This episode is uncomfortable necessary and deeply personal blending humor anger and truth in a way only Julie can. It is about calling things what they are setting boundaries and being done with pretending this behavior is acceptable. 🎧 Listen and follow Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bothered/id1795849350 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2I8ebbGrfwnl2tv8hHpb9F 📱 Follow Julie Kim Instagram https://www.instagram.com/juliekimcomedy TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@juliekimcomedy Website https://www.juliekimcomedy.com 📧 Got a story bothered@juliekimcomedy.com 🎥 Produced by Slate6ix Media https://www.slate6ixmedia.com #BotheredPodcast #JulieKim #Slate6ixMedia #AntiAsianRacism #RacismIsNotFunny #CallItOut #AsianRepresentation #CulturalRespect #ComedyWithPurpose #WomenOfColor #SpeakUp #AccountabilityMatters #ModernCulture #RealConversations #UncomfortableTruths #SocialAwareness #ComedyPodcast #StandupEnergy #RepresentationMatters #CallingItOut
