Getting Married at 21 with Kris Hillberg
Self-Helpless
06/14/21 • 64 min
We are joined by Kris Hillberg. Kris opens up about getting married at the age of 21, what led to that decision, and how it impacted her life. Kris is very candid as she shares her personal experience with the organized religion that she grew up in, her feelings about those experiences, and the steps she took to leave that religion. This episode is not intended to offend anyone who has religious beliefs - we believe religion can offer community, guidance, and comfort, and can be a very powerful and meaningful part of someone’s life. This episode is not a generalization about religion as a whole, it is one person‘s experience. We hope this episode provides some support, insight, and laughter around shedding beliefs that no longer serve you, finding authenticity, and starting over.

Bonus Episode - Listen Now! Add to Cart
Self-Helpless
08/12/23 • 43 min
As a bonus, we wanted to highlight a Lemonada Media podcast we love called Add to Cart. Join comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and veteran journalist SuChin Pak, in a subversive take on consumerism. Every Tuesday, they have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they're adding to, or removing from their carts. They decide what's worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what's not. From beauty products and health trends to celebrities and philosophies they're passionate about, our hosts dig into anything we buy into and what it says about who we are.
It's summertime baby! And here on Add to Cart, it's the season of endorphin dressing. Kulap finds a brand that embodies auntie style and comfort, with oversized silhouettes and bold prints. Speaking of auntie style, SuChin is redefining summer staples with cashmere and adult bibs. Plus, Ku and Su review the New York Mag etiquette guide which tackles essential questions such as: When do you write thank-you letters? How should you respond to a compliment? And how much do you tip for a water bottle (if anything?)

Check Out: The Dough
Self-Helpless
10/14/23 • 41 min
We’re dropping in your feed today to introduce you to the newest show from Lemonada Media that we think you’ll like: The Dough. The Dough is an eye-opening new 10-episode podcast series about the financial trapdoors any of us could fall into. From messy divorces to wellness products that are too good to be true, join host X Mayo (The Blackening, The Daily Show, Swarm) as she explores the financial flops and money myths that stand in the way of financial freedom. On this show, cash is queen, and we hardly know her, but we're determined to be her friend.
In this episode, you’ll hear about weddings! Aka, one of the happiest days of your life...until you realize you’ll be paying off the bills for years to come. Host X Mayo brings us back to her New York roots, when she had a coveted job at reBar, a wedding venue in Brooklyn that was actually affordable. But turns out, the small price tag came with a big risk. We hear from one woman who lost thousands and then talk to a thrifty bride for tips to hear how she managed to throw a wedding in NYC for less than $5K.
This series was created in partnership with Flourish Ventures, an early-stage global investment firm backing mission-driven entrepreneurs and industry influencers working toward a fair finance system for all.
