Shaken & Unfiltered

“Shaken & Unfiltered” is a cocktail of conversation where two longtime girlfriends—one GenX, one Millennial—sip, swear, and overshare their way through the messy middle of life. It’s the kind of brutally honest, laugh-out-loud conversation you’d only have after two martinis in your girlfriend’s group chat —unfiltered takes on everything from marriage and midlife meltdowns to pop culture and perimenopause. We’re not therapists. We’re just louder.”

Jen and Lindsey team up with our guest for the most unhinged game yet — “Guess What’s in the Orifice” — where things get gross, ridiculous, and side-splittingly funny.

    After Leaving the Mennonite World: Heartbreak, Isolation, and Learning to Overcome Depression (Part 2 of 4)

    Send us Fan Mail #7: In Part 2 of this powerful four-part series, Ruthie opens up about the painful realities she faced after walking away from the Mennonite community. Cut off from her family, with no money, no ID, and almost no life skills for the outside world, she had to figure out how to survive on her own. She shares the heartbreaking story of what she thought was love — only to discover how vulnerable she was after years of isolation and control. Ruthie speaks honestly about the deep loneliness, the struggle to earn money and build a life from scratch, and the crushing depression that followed. This episode dives into the long, messy aftermath of leaving a high-control religion: the identity crisis, the grief of lost family, romantic heartbreak, and how she has slowly learned to manage and overcome depression. Raw, vulnerable, and ultimately hopeful, this conversation shines a light on the hidden challenges ex-Plain community members face when stepping into freedom. Listener discretion is advised due to themes of depression, emotional abuse, and suicidal ideation.
