Tears, Truths, and Goodbyes: The Truth Behind Our Final Season
Mar 1600:41:03Tap to summarizeAfter three years of honest, meaningful, and sometimes hard conversations, we are closing this chapter of justUS Podcast. In this first episode of this final season, we sit down together to reflect on the journey — what we built, what we learned, and why we're choosing to end with intention rather than just fade out. We talk about the bittersweet reality of endings, and why we believe that closing one door doesn't diminish everything that came before it. Endings can be beautiful. And this one is ours. To every single person who listened, shared, reached out, or simply let our voices keep you company — thank you. You were never just an audience. You were always part of the conversation. It has been an honor. Let's keep talking and connecting 💛 Follow Tashira @PoliticsFashion Follow Margo https://www.instagram.com/margo.lindauer/ FOLLOW justUS: Instagram → justus_pod TikTok → justUS Podcast Substack→ Follow Us Watch justUS on YouTube → Subscribe

What Happened to All the Cool Kids? Exploring "Coolness" and Conformity in Mid-Life
Sep 800:46:54Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Margo and Tashira ask the question that has been on our minds lately: What happened to being interesting? We talk about the shortage of cool, curious people and when being smart somehow became uncool. Has fitting in always been the goal, or was it once a privilege to stand out and be multidimensional? We dig into the tension between uniqueness and online conformity, what we lose when we edit ourselves for public consumption, and how social media shapes our individuality and belonging.
