Is This a Podcast or a Therapy Session? Our Season 1 Recap & Finale

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 41:31

Season 1 of The Millennial Sandwich is officially wrapped!

From the first episode we recorded (which, spoiler alert, has still never been released) to this season 1 recap, we've learned so much, felt so seen, and found ourselves asking..."is this a podcast or a therapy session" over and over again.

In this episode, we talk about what we took away from our first season, what you can expect from us down the line, and what we hope to deliver in our second season. But most of all, we just...talk.

We get into:

-Why millennials need to be called out for their nostalgia obsession

-How tradwife/girlboss binaries don't serve anyone

-Why "working mom" isn't an accurate or inclusive label

-The guests and episodes that surprised us most

-Why it's Taylor Swift's world (we're just living in it)
