Welcome to the Two Bitter Babes podcast! @twobitterbabes on IG. We are two besties who got the wind knocked out of us when our long-term spouses suddenly bounced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Living in different states from each other during isolation, we took turns having each other’s back through messages, phone calls, and video chats as we struggled through mind-f’ing shock and confusion, heart-gnawing grief and rage, and body-slamming fear and anxiety over how we were going care for our future elder selves. Through sharing our stories, we have found that we are not alone. Did you know the divorce rate has doubled since 1990 for those over 55? And for those over 65, the rate has tripled! And it’s probably not surprising to anyone that women’s standard of living plummets by 45%, more than double that of men.

So what do we do? We share what we’ve learned at the Academy of A$$holes! Whether you’re a young’n yearning to avoid becoming bitter, or a fellow bitter babe wanting to feel better, we’re here for you. Together we will learn to dodge red flags, grow healthier relationships, and create community in a divisive culture. You will hear interviews with experts who help explain how we ended up in toxic relationships, and how we can grow our resilience and self-worth so we’re no longer targets. You’ll also hear conversations with other bitter babes navigating their own journeys.

If you’re striving for love and connection without having to sacrifice your bad-a$$ authentic self, the Two Bitter Babes podcast is for you. Let’s get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable as we process our grief, learn from our not-knowing-better, and build our strength together, all while experiencing moments of beauty, connection, and laughter. You are not alone!
