Abbey & Michelle

Softblock, the Podcast

Society EN ↓ 33 episodes

A podcast about girlhood, community, and talking about things—big and small. Abbey and Michelle overthink out loud, balancing humour, nuance, and a little bit of chaos. Smart but not try-hard, fun but not fluff. No shame, no guilt, just good conversation and a space to figure it all out together.
