    What Happened to All the Cool Kids? Exploring “Coolness” and Conformity in Mid-Life

    In this episode, Margo and Tashira ask the question that has been on our minds lately: What happened to being interesting? We talk about the shortage of cool, curious people and when being smart somehow became uncool. Has fitting in always been the goal, or was it once a privilege to stand out and be multidimensional? We dig into the tension between uniqueness and online conformity, what we lose when we edit ourselves for public consumption, and how social media shapes our individuality and belonging.  FOLLOW justUS: Instagram → justus_pod  TikTok →  justUS Podcast Substack→ Follow Us  Watch justUS on YouTube → Subscribe

    I Changed. So What? Exploring Our Multiple Identities Throughout the Years

    In this episode, Margo and Tashira explore what it means to evolve through the often unseen and under-celebrated phases of life. We talk about letting go of people’s expectations, prioritizing joy, ending relationships (when necessary), and choosing ourselves over the safe, expected path. With laughs, vulnerability, and the kind of realness you only get at a big age, we invite listeners into a candid conversation about what it means to continuously evolve.  New Substack! https://justuspodcast.substack.com/subscribe?utm_source=menu&simple=true&next=https%3A%2F%2Fjustuspodcast.substack.com%2F Thank you to our sponsor for this episode, WHOOP - Get one month FREE when you sign up using our link: https://join.whoop.com/us/en/justuspod/   Get your justUS swag here: https://www.justuspodcast.com/#in-feed-shop   Follow Us on Instagram:   @justus_pod   @margo.lindauer   @politicsandfshn   Please visit these friends of the podcast.

    When Is What We Have Enough? Thoughts on Business Growth, Career Success, and Consumption

    In this episode, Margo and Tashira unpack the illusion of the American middle class and ask the pressing question: When is enough, enough? Through stories of childhood, shifting identities, and financial growth, Margo and Tashira reflect on what it really means to achieve one's goals, and what it feels like once you're there. From braces and private school to burnout and solo-preneurship, this conversation explores generational change, economic reality, and the quiet power of choosing contentment. Whether you're chasing the bag or redefining wealth on your own terms, this episode will challenge how you think about class, money, and enoughness.

    WTF Is Coming Down Your Timeline?! Two Friends, Two Feeds

    Whose algorithm is it anyway? In this episode, Tashira and Margo dive into the increasingly fractured digital landscape we all inhabit—where two like-minded people can still experience wildly different versions of reality through our devices. What happens when you switch Instagrams with someone close to you? What does your algorithm say about you? From fashion and wellness content to activism and misinformation, we explore how curated feeds shape our worldview, skew our sense of truth, and even influence our politics. We also discuss the power—and the pitfalls—of digital activism in an era where virality fades faster than justice. This one’s part digital diary, part social critique, and a whole lot of real talk.

    Teenage Boys Are Running Our Government?! Smells like Authoritarianism and Adolescence!

    In this episode, Margo and Tashira dive into the chaos unfolding in Washington—from the adolescent antics plaguing the highest levels of government to the radical restructuring of federal agencies under the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). We dig into the blurring of lines between tech billionaires and elected officials, and the dangerous implications of gutting vital services in favor of billionaire tax cuts. As always, with sharp critique, biting humor, and real talk, Margo and Tashira unpack the authoritarian undertones (and overtones) during this political moment, the international stakes with Ukraine, and what’s really behind the anti-"woke" agenda sweeping the country. It’s time to call a thing a thing: our government has been taken over by teenage boys.   New Substack! https://justuspodcast.substack.com/subscribe?utm_source=menu&simple=true&next=https%3A%2F%2Fjustuspodcast.substack.com%2F   Thank you to our sponsor for this episode, WHOOP - Get one month FREE when you sign up using our link: https://join.whoop.com/us/en/justuspod/ Get your justUS swag here: https://www.justuspodcast.com/#in-feed-shop   Follow Us on Instagram: @justus_pod @margo.lindauer @politicsandfshn   Please visit these friends of the podcast.

    Check on Your Strong Friend: A Very Necessary Goals Check-In

    In this episode, Margo & Tashira check in—emotionally, spiritually and politically, during what feels like the slow unraveling of our democratic systems. We talk honestly about how we're riding the waves: presence, fear, joy, anger, and despair. From cold plunges to Pina Coladas and joyful brunches, we explore what it means to take care of ourselves and each other in uncertain times.  We also dive into the confusion and fear that many leaders, organizations, and everyday folks are feeling in response to the current administration. We reflect on how it's impacting our relationships, our activism, and even our nervous systems. This is a conversation about finding micro-moments of joy, building connection in a fragmented world, and resisting the pressure to assimilate or fall silent.
