Education EN ↓ 45 episodes

As You Should is the podcast for women who’ve lived enough to know better—and still occasionally choose chaos anyway. Hosted by Alex, a finance professional and mom of three, and Bijal, a sharp-tongued business lawyer, the show dives into the raw, resilient, and ridiculous moments of life: breakups, motherhood meltdowns, friendship fallouts, identity shifts, and the messy middle of healing. Every week, they bring honest stories, cheeky commentary, Bravo-style drama, and the kind of laughter that reminds you you’re not alone. Whether you’ve cried on the bathroom floor, texted the group chat mid...

Episodes

Inside The Manosphere' Documentary Is So Disturbing 20.03.2026

Inside the Manosphere is disturbing no doubt about that. But this clip breaks down something deeper: not just what the documentary shows… but what it leaves out. From control dynamics to whose voices actually get heard, this raises an important question did the people most affected truly get to speak? Because sometimes, a story can be powerful… and still incomplete.

Timothée Chalamet and Oscars DRAMA 20.03.2026

Everyone’s saying Timothée Chalamet got robbed at the Academy Awards . But what if that’s completely wrong? In this clip, we break down why his loss might’ve actually made sense — from performance expectations to industry dynamics and what the Oscars really reward. Because sometimes, the internet picks a narrative… and reality is way less emotional — and way more strategic.

The ‘Botox Stick’ Trend No One Is Explaining 10.03.2026

Is there really such a thing as “Botox in a stick”? 🤔 The beauty industry is constantly releasing new products that promise Botox-like results without needles . But how much of it is real science… and how much is just smart marketing? In this episode, we break down the viral “Botox stick” trend , what it actually does for your skin, and whether it can really replace traditional Botox treatments.

Protecting My Peace” Is A Lie 03.03.2026

Everyone says they’re “protecting their peace.” But what if that’s not peace at all? What if it’s control. In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable truth behind one of the internet’s favorite phrases. Are we actually protecting our mental health… or are we trying to control outcomes, people, and conversations so we never feel uncomfortable? We talk about: Why control feels like safety The diff...

Millennials React to Looksmaxxing… And It’s Getting Dark 27.02.2026

Welcome to the darkest corner of the internet we never asked to see. This week, we went down the rabbit hole of looksmaxxing — the hyper-obsessive trend where men analyze jawlines, rate canthal tilt, chase “hunter eyes,” and in extreme cases… literally break bones to become “objectively attractive.” But here’s the twist: It’s not about women. It’s not about dating. It’s men competing with other me...

The Life Timeline Is a Lie (And It’s Ruining You) 24.02.2026

Everyone feels behind. Behind in career. Behind in relationships. Behind in money. Behind in life. But what if the timeline you’re chasing… was never real to begin with? In this episode, we unpack: • Why “doing the right thing” doesn’t fix the real problem • The scam behind “Baby Botox” • A conspiracy about recycling that will change how you see your trash • A wild theory about China’s population...

AI Is Selling You a Lie - Sam altman 21.02.2026

Right before Valentine’s Day, OpenAI quietly discontinued a popular “warm” AI model… and people who believed they were in relationships with it had meltdowns. Yes — real emotional breakdowns. Yes — tech support emails begging to “bring them back.” But this isn’t just a funny internet story. This is the beginning of something much darker: • AI emotional dependency • Virtual relationships replacing...

Main Character Energy Is Ruining Friendships 17.02.2026

This episode gets real about “main character energy,” weaponized boundaries, ghosting culture, and the rise of pop-psych buzzwords that are quietly ruining friendships.

Your Childhood Dream Job vs. Your Actual Life 💀 09.02.2026

She wanted to be a cashier. She became a lawyer. Somewhere in between, we realized skinny jeans are a lie. This clip spirals from childhood dream jobs → styling therapy → trying on every jean cut known to man → the ONE wide-leg that actually works (yes, Levi’s, call us). No sponsorship. Just brutal honesty, style identity crises, and way too many jeans. Watch till the end if you’re still clinging...

Group trips look great on Instagram — but once you’re actually there, the unspoken rules, hurt feelings, and weird expectations start showing up. In this episode, we break down the real dynamics of traveling in a big group: who gets mad, who opts out, who thinks they’re “hosting,” and why grown adults still throw tantrums on vacation. If you’ve ever felt guilty for doing your own thing on a group...

If You Sleep on the Sofa Bed… That’s NOT a Couch Anymore 02.02.2026

If the sofa bed is where you sleep, then that’s your bedroom. Period. You are not obligated to fold it up, perform hospitality rituals, or make other people comfortable at the cost of your sleep. This clip turns a simple sofa-bed debate into a bigger conversation about boundaries, shared spaces, and why adults don’t actually hang out on couches the way we pretend they do.

Piper Rockelle Only Fans Situation Is Gross 30.01.2026

In this video, we break down Piper Rockelle and her decision to launch an OnlyFans immediately after turning 18 and why this moment can’t be viewed in isolation. Piper’s rise didn’t happen overnight.

A 2025 Netflix documentary detailed allegations of e...

It feels like January 2026 was just… lazy 28.01.2026

January 2026 felt… lazy. Not slow in a peaceful, reflective way — but lazy in that weird, disorienting sense where nothing fully collapses, yet nothing really lifts either. The year was supposed to be a reset. A thrive year. A “new chapter” moment. Instead, it opened with survival mode wearing a fake smile. A lot of us walked into 2026 hopeful, tired but optimistic, ready to believe that maybe — f...

The Heated Rivalry Conversation Everyone’s Arguing About 28.01.2026

Everyone wants a hot take on cultural representation — but no one agrees on what actually matters. Do actors need to live the culture they portray? Does background matter more than performance? And where’s the line between representation and performative outrage? This conversation doesn’t try to solve it — it just questions why we’re so obsessed in the first place.

This Might Be the Most Unhinged Airplane Story Ever 26.01.2026

Meredith Marks Did WHAT for $60,000?! 16.01.2026

Meredith Marks is a reality TV star with massive visibility. So when she opened a store on Main Street in Park City, expectations were high. But walking in told a very different story. Cheap Amazon-style lights taped to the windows. A store barely open during peak ski season. And a plan to sell caviar in a space smaller than a shipping container. This isn’t hate — it’s an observation. Reality TV f...

We Did a Celebrity Personality Test to See Who Has the Better Mindset 05.01.2026
