In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen break down the most harmful dating advice women get from so-called “Pick-Me” mentors, and why being “chosen” should never be your goal. From Auntie wisdom at family gatherings to viral advice from online coaches, we unpack the hidden misogyny behind it all. But first, in Tea Time, we discuss Slim Thug’s fixation on Megan Thee Stallion, Uber’s mounting legal problems, the 4chan users hacking of the Tea App, and the five Canadian hockey players acquitted in a high-profile sexual assault case. Then, in Feminist Herstory, we spotlight Catherine the Great.

🎧 This episode is a deep dive into the dating “advice” designed to keep women small, compliant, and afraid of being alone - and why rejecting that fear is your first step toward freedom.

🎙️ Topics Discussed:

• The dangerous myth of “being chosen”


• How Pick-Me culture punishes self-respecting women


• The emotional cost of dating advice from male centered women


• Why staying single is always better than dating a terrible man


• How dependency on men sabotages women’s futures


• What Catherine the Great can teach us about power and survival
