I GAVE My Baby Daddy Full Custody. And I WON. (feat. Bri Speaks)

In this week's episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign are joined by special guest Bri Speaks for a powerful conversation about motherhood, narcissistic abuse, and what happened when she finally stopped playing by her baby daddy’s rules.

After years of custody battles, manipulation, and narcissistic abuse, Bri made the decision to give her son’s father full custody. What sounds like a devastating loss turned out to be a major turning point, giving Bri the freedom to rebuild her life, step away from a toxic dynamic, and reclaim her own happiness. She opens up about her experience with motherhood, recognizing abusive patterns, navigating the family court system, and awakening to the larger systems of control that shape women's lives.

Together, they discuss patriarchy, consciousness, personal power, and why sometimes the most empowering choice a woman can make is the one that other people would never understand.

But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign pay their respects to the late Gloria Steinem, react to a video exposing how "nice guys" really view their female friendships, and listen to a man explain to his wife how he would make sexual advances toward her while she was "mid-momming."

Later, in Therapy Or The Void, Lisa and Sovereign react to the film The Drama starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, deciding which characters desperately need therapy and which ones need to be cast directly into the void.
