The Audaci-Tea

What Decentering Men Actually Looks Like

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign explore what it looks like for women to decenter men in everyday life and relationships. Decentering men is not a single action but a result of prioritizing women's autonomy and needs while deconstructing patriarchal norms. This episode breaks down practical steps, mindset shifts, and the empowering outcomes of putting yourself first.
But first, in Tea Time, they respond to a listener voicemail about women taking their husbands’ last names, discuss the US Border Patrol monitoring drivers and detaining pregnant women seeking reproductive health care, female MAGA influencers facing backlash for feminist stances, and a woman proposing to her boyfriend of 14 years. Later, in Mailbag, they answer a listener question about whether women need to be the ones approaching men romantically.
 
🎧 This episode examines how women can prioritize themselves, navigate relationships with awareness, and embrace empowerment without guilt.
 
🎙️ Topics Discussed:
What decentering men looks like in practice
Why prioritizing women’s needs is essential for empowerment
How societal expectations pressure women into traditional roles
Surveillance and threats to women’s autonomy
Celebrating choices in relationships without losing identity
Using self-discovery and boundaries to navigate dating and partnerships

From impossible workplace standards to the emotional labor of relationships, the hosts unpack how patriarchal systems shape what women are told to value and why more women are redefining success on their own terms.But first, in Tea Time, they discuss far right podcaster Andrew Wilson losing control when confronted with his wife’s messy past, MTG resigning from Congress, and the latest chaos inside the Trump Administration. Later, in Tea or Trash, they react to trending social media to decide if it’s…you guessed it: Tea Or Trash!

🎙️ Topics Discussed:
Why the idea of women “having it all” is built on patriarchal expectations
Andrew Wilson’s hypocrisy and the policing of women’s choices
How political decisions impact women in female dominated fields
Ongoing misogyny in politics and media

Modern Witch Hunts (feat. Therese Lee)

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign  sit down with special guest Therese Lee to unpack her new series, Witches, Whores, and Rebels, which explores how history repeats itself whenever powerful systems begin to break down. Again and again, women become the targets. From early witch hunts to modern political scapegoating, Therese examines how economic collapse, social panic, and patriarchal control create the same cycle throughout time.
But first, in Tea Time, the hosts dive into a new app that lets users talk to AI avatars of deceased loved ones, churches lashing out after being exposed for refusing to help starving babies, and Megyn Kelly defending behavior no one expected her to defend. Later in the Mailbag, a listener asks whether child free women secretly worry they may regret their choice.
 
🎧 This episode draws a clear line between today’s political climate and the centuries of misogyny and economic control that shaped it, revealing how modern attacks on women mirror the past in chilling ways.
 
🎙️ Topics Discussed:
Why women are always targeted during political and economic collapse
How witch hunts were rooted in economics, ownership, and control
The connection between modern misogyny and historical scapegoating
AI technology and the ethical concerns around digital necromancy

Embracing Your Villain Era (feat. Amarachi)

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome special guest Amarachi, a viral “villain era” dating coach who’s redefining what it means for women to date on their own terms. Together, they unpack how embracing your so-called “villain era” isn’t about being heartless — it’s about rejecting people-pleasing, prioritizing your happiness, and refusing to apologize for your standards.
But first, in Tea Time, the hosts break down the Democrats caving to Trump on the government shutdown, Trump getting booed mercilessly at an NFL game, a woman’s viral experiment calling churches to see if they’d feed a starving baby, and a New York Times opinion piece asking if women “ruined” the workplace. Finally, in This You?, they read a viral Reddit post from a woman ready to divorce her husband over a birthday gift — and you might just take her side.
 
🎧 This episode challenges outdated dating dynamics and reminds women that setting boundaries, demanding effort, and embracing your so-called “villain era” is actually the key to self-respect and emotional freedom.
 
🎙️ Topics Discussed:
The “villain era” mindset and what it really means
Why women should stop apologizing for having standards
How to spot and reject one-sided relationships
The truth about effort, reciprocity, and emotional labor
Detachment as a tool for empowerment and healing
Why setting boundaries is the ultimate act of self-love

Are “Girls’ Girls” Extinct?

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the cultural shift around the term “girl’s girl”.

But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the viral TikTok “EBT Lady” on SNAP benefits expiring, the backlash to Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Lover Girl,” and Jameela Jamil’s viral claim that studios are “dumbing down” TV shows for distracted scrollers.

The online policing of women and performative feminism
Megan Thee Stallion as a modern “girl’s girl” icon

Beware Of The Emotional Vampire!

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign sink their teeth into the world of emotional vampires — the people who drain your peace, your joy, and your energy. They explore how to recognize these emotional leeches, the red flags of covert narcissism and drama addiction, and how to protect your energy with healthy boundaries and self-awareness.
But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss the new “full bush” underwear from Skims, Mackenzie Scott’s major donation to Black cultural preservation, the viral $5.5K “alpha male” bootcamp that’s more parody than power, and Mike Vrabel’s viral feminist gesture during NFL press conferences. Later, in the Mailbag, they respond to a listener question about why some men deliberately retraumatize their partners in relationships.

🎙️ Topics Discussed:
How to recognize emotional vampires in relationships and friendships
Narcissists, drama magnets, and energy drainers
How emotional exhaustion affects women’s mental health
The power of boundaries and emotional detachment

The 'Cool Girl' Myth: Escaping Male Validation

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the “Cool Girl” archetype; the effortless, chill, low-maintenance woman who always puts men’s comfort first. They explore how this myth was built to serve patriarchy, how it pressures women to suppress their emotions and identity, and why rejecting it is a radical act of self-love.
But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss Ayesha Curry’s viral comments about not wanting marriage or kids, the Texas State Fair backlash over price gouging, and a man who went viral for buying a life-size Henry Cavill doll. Later, in Tea or Trash, they debate the ethics of cosmetic surgery and authenticity in the age of performative empowerment.
 
🎧 This episode dives into the Cool Girl archetype — how patriarchy rewards female self-erasure, how women perform to earn male approval, and why true empowerment begins with authenticity.
 
🎙️ Topics Discussed:
The origins and cultural impact of the Cool Girl archetype
How patriarchy teaches women to perform for the male gaze
Ayesha Curry and public discourse on marriage, motherhood, and autonomy
Authenticity vs. the “low-maintenance” performance
Why women’s self-worth must exist beyond male validation
The intersection of feminism, beauty culture, and self-acceptance

The Performance Of Masculinity (feat. The Public Offender)

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign welcome back special guest The Public Offender to unpack what it really means to perform masculinity, and how this performance shapes men’s behavior, women’s safety, and the structure of society itself. Together, they explore how cultural scripts of “manhood” are reinforced by patriarchy, peer pressure, and media, and how redefining masculinity could free everyone from toxic expectations.
But first, in Tea Time, the hosts cover Trump’s attempt at a military takeover of Portland, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce, Janae’s viral diss track aimed at Nicki Minaj, a listener comment asking whether decentering men actually centers them, and a Tea VIP voicemail seeking advice about her son’s father. Later, in the Mailbag segment, they tackle a listener question about handling a brother-in-law’s inappropriate text messages.
 
🎧 This episode pulls back the curtain on the performance of masculinity — how men perform toughness for other men, the social cost of emotional repression, and how redefining manhood benefits everyone.
 
🎙️ Topics Discussed:
The cultural performance of masculinity and its social consequences
Male identity, emotional repression, and societal expectations
Patriarchy’s influence on relationships and gender dynamics
How peer groups reinforce toxic masculine norms
Feminism, empathy, and the path to redefining manhood
Navigating harassment, boundaries, and accountability

"Surplus Men" Explained

What happens when a society has more men than women who want to partner with them? In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign unpack the concept of “surplus men” — those left out of relationships, social life, and purpose. They explore how this imbalance impacts dating, marriage, politics, and even global stability. From radicalization to authoritarianism, the hosts reveal why surplus men pose one of the most overlooked social challenges of our time.
But first, in Tea Time, they cover Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes being banned from YouTube (again), a shocking mass catcalling event in Spain, Suffolk County’s “Top 10 Deadbeat Dads” list, and a listener comment on why women stay in relationships with men. Later, they break down a Reddit case study of a husband controlling his wife through finances.
 
🎧 This episode digs into the ripple effects of male loneliness, societal unrest, and why women’s independence is changing the dating landscape worldwide.
 
🎙️ Topics Discussed:
The global rise of “surplus men” and why it matters
Male loneliness, violence, and radicalization
How skewed sex ratios shape politics and stability
Why marriage has historically “pacified” men
Finding purpose outside relationships with women
Financial control and power dynamics in modern marriages
