What The Fuck Am I Doing when it comes to politics?? Publishing this episode on Election Day (November 5, 2024) in the United States, Maddie and Esbee are feeling all sorts of whacked out in regards to this subject matter in particular. The two discuss their varying levels of interest and activism in politics, where and how they came to have the political leanings they do, and whether either one would consider running for office one day (spoiler: they won't). Maddie says her political stance is rooted in kindness and common sense, and Esbee says the politics here in the South are far different than those she experienced in the big cities where she previously lived: NYC, LA, and SF. (No duh). It's a weird day here in America, but we're leaning in here at WTFAID and moreover hoping everyone is getting out to VOTE!!!

What The Fuck Am I Doing being a person who is constantly aging and will inevitably, eventually die? Woof. In this heavy hitting episode, Esbee and Maddie discuss the one subject that nearly all of us dread in one way or another (aging) and even delve into a topic so taboo, our culture largely avoids it altogether: death. Although both women are not thrilled about the way getting older promises to loosen their skin, deepen their wrinkles, and intensify their various aches and ailments, Esbee has her sights set on the holy grail of retirement, whereas Maddie actually looks forward to certain aspects of aging that naturally come with being a parent. But it's not all bad. Both women explore various elements of aging that they actually see as positives. The two also discuss their experiences with their parents' aging, get deeply personal regarding their own feelings about death, and answer the big picture question: are you afraid of dying? Just in time for spooky season, these two are tackling some of life's scariest questions.

What The Fuck Am I Doing with work? As women continue to occupy even more space in the workforce — and as they also continue to occupy generally the same amount of space in the home, even if they work outside of it as well — the fact of the matter is: women be workin'. In the first episode of Season 3, Maddie and Esbee discuss the world of work, as two women who currently occupy it (albeit quite differently). Maddie struggles to figure out how to create better work-life balance between her business and her creative endeavors, while also juggling both her responsibilities to and desire to be with her family and have a life aside from all of that. On the other hand, Esbee worries about ever being able to retire, and dreams of potentially taking on a new role that allows her to flex the professional muscles she's built throughout the course of her career. They may not have any conclusive answers on the matter, but (as always) hope their discussion about the nebulous nature of being working women helps others wrestling with these same issues feel just a smidge less shitty about it :)
