Description

Not Your Little Lady is a podcast featuring women living outside of the South's socially accepted norms. Listen and relate as we laugh, cry and share stories about facing obstacles and how it feels to come out on the other side. We will talk about things that piss us off, the booze we like to drink, and historical women who have made a difference. Topic experts will give advice and relay realistic steps on how to implement it in our daily lives. We’ll explore the importance of women owning their past, present and future while keeping it light and funny, like a lady will do.

Sadly, thousands of dollars off medical debt led to my filling for bankruptcy ... something I never, ever wanted to do but ultimately figured I had few other choices. And yes, I'm well aware that there are most likely millions of people who have walked in those shoes. That's the result of our fine medical system (that is very expensive) in the U.S.

Please consider how many times you say the word "like". Very difficult to listen to this host's speech cadence.

I have a very articulate friend who is a natural educator. He is a transplant from California, and he now lives in North East Texas, where grew up and still live. I agree with everything she is saying, and Frank has been saying this about the people here as a whole, nit just women. Sometimes he forgets that he has Facebook friends who are white when he becomes perturbed with the mindset of white America in the South. I have at times been almost offended, because he is dead on with his perception, and I guess I'm afraid that he can see my ingrained racist. I don't want to be that person and I don't want to make excuses that other people might find to be a cop out for bullshit behavior. I try to be more evolved that my for sisters, but I don't know if I am. She makes me think...I sent the pod to Frank.
