    Who Taught Us to Live Like This? #WhoYellingNow #OlgaForeign

    Season 6, Episode 1 — Who Taught Us to Live Like This? Every one of us knows what "normal" looks like. We recognize it in how people dress, speak, grieve, celebrate, work, and dream. Yet few of us can answer a simple question: Who taught us what normal means? In the Season 6 premiere of Who Yelling Now?, Olga Foreign explores one of humanity's quietest inheritances—the invisible rules we absorb long before we're old enough to question them. Through poetry, story, and reflection, this episode examines the difference between visible scars and invisible ones, inherited habits and conscious choices, asking whether the most influential ideas in our lives are the ones we chose... or the ones we never realized we inherited. Perhaps the greatest mystery isn't who taught us to live like this. Perhaps it's why we never asked.

    We Call It Progress. #WhoYellingNow #OlgaForeign #WeCallItProgress

    WHO YELLING NOW? – Season 5 Episode 10WE CALL IT PROGRESS Progress is one of the few words almost everyone agrees is good. We celebrate it.We pursue it.We measure it.We build entire lives around it. But what if progress is simply movement? A disease progresses.A wildfire progresses.An avalanche progresses.A river progresses beyond its banks. None of these ask whether the destination is desirable. In the Season 5 finale of Who Yelling Now?, Olga Foreign examines one of society's most celebrated words and asks a deceptively simple question: What exactly are we measuring when we call something progress? Through the poem My Progress, a story about a small lie that grows beyond its creator's control, and the poem Drip, Drip, Drop, this episode explores how seemingly insignificant actions, choices, and assumptions can continue progressing long after we stop paying attention. A single step.A single lie.A single drop of water. The danger may not be the beginning. The danger may be what it becomes. As Season 5 comes to a close, we revisit the questions that shaped this journey: What are we calling love?What are we calling loyalty?What are we calling stability?What are we calling passion?What are we calling truth?What are we calling success?What are we calling education?What are we calling strength?What are we calling accountability? And finally... What are we calling progress? Join host Olga Foreign for the Season 5 finale of Who Yelling Now? and discover why movement and improvement may not be the same thing. Listen, reflect, and choose your words carefully—you may be progressing toward them. #WhoYellingNow#OlgaForeign#WeCallItProgress

    We Call It Accountability. #olgaforeign#whoyellingnow?

    Who is accountable? In this episode of Who Yelling Now?, Olga Foreign explores one of society's most celebrated—and most avoided—virtues: accountability. Through original poetry, the story of Jerry and his Three Pillars (a scapegoat, a story, and a shadow), and a thoughtful conversation with Matt Campbell, we examine responsibility, representation, excuses, consequences, and the questions that refuse to disappear. Who taught us accountability? Can accountability exist without punishment? Are we responsible for the actions of those who represent us? And when everyone is counting, who is actually accounting? This episode is not about easy answers. It is about difficult questions. Because accountability may begin long before we ask it of others. It may begin with ourselves. Featuring original poetry by Olga Foreign and a conversation with Matt Campbell. Account.Count.Recount.Accountable.Unaccountable.Response.Responsible. We counted.

    WHO YELLING NOW? – Season 5 Episode 08 WE CALL IT STRENGTH What if the things you've been carrying your entire life aren't making you stronger? From childhood, many of us are taught to be strong. We are handed expectations, responsibilities, silence, duty, sacrifice, and survival habits by people who love us and want us to succeed. We pack them carefully into our emotional luggage and carry them everywhere we go. But when life finally tests us—through loss, loneliness, grief, uncertainty, change, and growth—what happens when we open that luggage and discover it contains more baggage than tools? In this episode, Olga Foreign explores the difference between endurance and adaptation through the story of Ava, a woman who discovers that true strength is not found in carrying more, but in learning what no longer belongs with her. Joining the conversation is international bestselling author Serena Arora, author of Unbound, Ayurveda practitioner, yoga therapist, and teacher. Together they explore inherited silence, emotional resilience, healing, identity, and what it means to reclaim ownership of your own story. Featuring Olga's poem "It Happened," a reflection on becoming oneself through hurricanes, sunshine, funerals, births, joy, loneliness, and everything in between. Perhaps strength is not what you've carried. Perhaps strength is what remained after you set it down. #WhoYellingNow #OlgaForeign #WeCallItStrength #SerenaArora #Unbound #EmotionalStrength #PersonalGrowth #HealingJourney #Resilience #MentalHealth #SelfDiscovery #Adaptation #EmotionalFortitude #ImmigrantStories #Wellness #Ayurveda #YogaTherapy #Podcast #Storytelling #ThoughtfulLiving #BeStrong #EmotionalBaggage #InnerStrength #GrowthMindset #HealingIsResistance #WomenWhoWrite #AuthorInterview #LifeLessons #MindsetShift #BecomeWhoYouAre #IHappened #StrengthAndResilience #PodcastCommunity #SelfWorth #UnpackYourBaggage #Season5 #OlgaForeignPodcast

    We Call It Truth. “Some truths are not forgotten. They are softened.”#olgaforeign #Whoyelling now? #Storytelling

    Who Yelling Now? – Season 5 Episode 5WE CALL IT TRUTH What happens when truth isn’t hidden… just unfinished? Sharon left home eight years ago to build the life she always dreamed of. Returning home for her parents’ 60th wedding anniversary should feel familiar—family laughter, favorite meals, old memories, and the people who knew her before she knew herself. But home sounds different now. Stories begin but never finish. Memories change direction halfway through. Conversations drift away from certain places. And as Sharon reconnects with her Aunt Normie—the family historian who remembers everything—she begins to realize some truths are not forgotten. They are softened. Protected. Edited. Not because families are cruel. Sometimes because families are trying to survive. This episode explores inherited silence, unfinished stories, emotional survival, and the quiet agreements human beings make to protect love, stability, and one another. Because sometimes the truth isn’t what breaks families. Sometimes it’s what they build themselves around. Tonight… we call it truth. #WhoYellingNow #OlgaForeign #Podcast #WeCallItTruth #Truth #FamilyStories #Storytelling #HumanBehavior #Silence #EmotionalTruth #FamilyDynamics #GenerationalStories #PodcastLife #SpotifyPodcasts #TruthAndMemory #Inheritance #Healing #Reflection #StoryPodcast #NewEpisode

    We Call It Passion. #OlgaForeign #WhoYellingNow #Season5#susannahB

    Who Yelling Now — Season 5, Episode 04 We Call It Passion With Guest SusannahB We call it passion when it’s loud.We call it passion when it moves fast.We call it passion when it feels certain. But what if passion isn’t neutral? What if some passion is amplified…while other passion is ignored? In this episode, we follow two forces moving at the same time:one loud enough to leadone quiet enough to be overlooked Through the story of a voice that grew faster than its control—and another that never needed to shout—we begin to question something deeper: Who decides what passion looks like…and why do we follow it? Because at some point…a few people’s passion becomes direction—and the rest of us call it reality. This isn’t about who is speaking. It’s about who we choose to listen to. #Passion #Leadership #Influence #Power #SocialAwareness #ThinkForYourself #QuestionEverything #CriticalThinking #Perspective #Truth #DeepThoughts #MindsetShift #WakeUpCall #RealTalk #PodcastClips
