FOR WHAT Podcast

MaryBeth Koenes and Loren Crawford

Welcome to FOR WHAT, the stream-of-consciousness podcast where two irreverent sisters go unfiltered and unapologetic on all things power, patriarchy, and the BS women are just DONE tolerating. We started this show because we kept finding ourselves asking, "All these men... FOR WHAT?!" As we began to answer this question about men, SO MUCH more came to the forefront (because honestly, it's always going to be about MORE than men, right?) – it's systems, support (lack thereof), equality, healthcare, rights to our bodies, reverence, and on and on. We decided we are done shrinking, over-explaining, pretending the systems we live under aren’t affecting us every single day — in our bodies, our relationships, our paychecks, and our pleasure.  Here, we name it. We say it out loud. The moments where we gave the benefit of the doubt — and were gaslit, assaulted, or erased in return. These are conversations we wish we’d had growing up. The truths we’re still uncovering as we talk it out. And we want YOU in the conversation with us! This podcast is for women who are waking up — and ready to start asking: FOR WHAT?

    10. MBK: Main Character Men (S1 Finale)

    If you have to pick ONE episode to listen to, pick this one! (Highly recommended to listen at 1.5 speed) This will entertain AND enlighten you. We’re wrapping up Season 1 with a banger as MBK gives us a better understanding of how we got here — and FOR WHAT? Take a cruise through the men who have been the main characters of influence in her life. See if there’s anything familiar perhaps in YOUR story.  **Per usual, MBK’s life stories can trigger all kinds of painful experiences for others. This episode is no different— please exercise tender caution for listening to the topics of sensitive nature discussed in this episode.  Important Disclaimer: As you know, we rarely endorse men and the things they do. In this episode, we highly recommend a book written by a man, as it was an impactful resource in MBK‘s journey. However, we do want to acknowledge and caution our sisters — since publishing this book, there have been allegations about the integrity of the author’s behavior, specifically with women. As always, we recommend you trust your intuition and only read/listen to take what resonates and heals you, never blindly or fully giving into anyone else’s thoughts, beliefs or persuasion without critical and deep exploration. In conclusion, we still recommend the book for what it is, but highly caution further in involvement in the author’s other forms of work (therapy, retreats, etc.).  Help us keep recording!
