Ask Unladylike: Bitch Boys?
Is it sexist when straight men call each other the b-word? Cristen tracks down how bitch has (and hasn't) evolved and advises an unlady whose boyfriend thinks the b-word is no longer gendered. Then, a neurodivergent unlady is unsure how to ask friends to stop casually dropping the r-slur.

SHROOM BOOM, pt. 3: Psychedelic Therapy
Are magic mushrooms poised to become the next big mental health med, and if so, who stands to benefit? Psychologist and Chacruna Institute co-founder Dr. Clancy Cavnar reframes today's psychedelic renaissance through the lens of social justice, queer liberation and Indigenous reciprocity. Along the way, we confront the ugly history of LSD conversion therapy, the wildly high cost of legal psilocybin therapy in Oregon and why it all comes back to patriarchy.

SHROOM BOOM, pt. 2: Tripsitting
Call the tripsitter! We’re macrodosing on magic mushrooms, psychedelic sexism and psilocybin breakthroughs with journalist and fact-checker Jennifer Chesak. Author of The Psilocybin Handbook for Women, she explains why psilocybin could work wonders for anxiety, eating disorders, endometriosis, PCOS, PTSD and more, and the drug’s unresolved legacy of Indigenous exploitation. Cristen also journeys into Western psychedelics’ white boys’ club culture where men are psychonauts, and women are tripsitters.
Part two of three.

Customer Reviews
Female Empowerment!
I LOVE LOVE this podcast- one of the few that I can listen to each and every episode. So well thought out, great dialogue, and super educational. Please keep this going!
One-sided at times
Usually I like the podcast, but I have noticed that some of the episodes are one sided. For example, the life coach episode. It does tell one side of the coaching industry and its pitfalls. It doesn’t talk about the side where people are certified through ICF (for example) over a 9-12 month period with classes every week. Where they need 100 hrs of coaching for the first level of certification. Where they are told the difference btwn therapy and coaching, and that any signs of needing therapy should require the coach to refer client to a therapist.
Provocative discussions — great podcast!!
Almost every topic on Unladylike is something I have been thinking about or have been WANTING to process w a smart person. This show is a way to do that. The host is intelligent and thoughtful and the guests bring such a great perspective + energy to the show. Excited for more.
