FOR WHAT Podcast Sat, 09 May 2026 19:25:30 -0400 http://marybethkoenes.com en-us © 2026 FOR WHAT Podcast yes Support this Podcast 450a279a-b485-5591-988b-282965faf032 MaryBeth Koenes and Loren Crawford episodic true Welcome to FOR WHAT, the stream-of-consciousness podcast where two irreverent sisters go unfiltered and unapologetic on all things power, patriarchy, and the BS women are just DONE tolerating.

We started this show because we kept finding ourselves asking, "All these men... FOR WHAT?!" As we began to answer this question about men, SO MUCH more came to the forefront (because honestly, it's always going to be about MORE than men, right?) – it's systems, support (lack thereof), equality, healthcare, rights to our bodies, reverence, and on and on. We decided we are done shrinking, over-explaining, pretending the systems we live under aren’t affecting us every single day — in our bodies, our relationships, our paychecks, and our pleasure. 

Here, we name it. We say it out loud. The moments where we gave the benefit of the doubt — and were gaslit, assaulted, or erased in return. These are conversations we wish we’d had growing up. The truths we’re still uncovering as we talk it out. And we want YOU in the conversation with us!

This podcast is for women who are waking up — and ready to start asking: FOR WHAT?

MBK: Main Character Men (S1 Finale) 10. MBK: Main Character Men (S1 Finale) If you have to pick ONE episode to listen to, pick this one! (Highly recommended to listen at 1.5 speed)

This will entertain AND enlighten you. We’re wrapping up Season 1 with a banger as MBK gives us a better understanding of how we got here — and FOR WHAT? Take a cruise through the men who have been the main characters of influence in her life. See if there’s anything familiar perhaps in YOUR story. 

**Per usual, MBK’s life stories can trigger all kinds of painful experiences for others. This episode is no different— please exercise tender caution for listening to the topics of sensitive nature discussed in this episode. 

Important Disclaimer: As you know, we rarely endorse men and the things they do. In this episode, we highly recommend a book written by a man, as it was an impactful resource in MBK‘s journey. However, we do want to acknowledge and caution our sisters — since publishing this book, there have been allegations about the integrity of the author’s behavior, specifically with women. As always, we recommend you trust your intuition and only read/listen to take what resonates and heals you, never blindly or fully giving into anyone else’s thoughts, beliefs or persuasion without critical and deep exploration. In conclusion, we still recommend the book for what it is, but highly caution further in involvement in the author’s other forms of work (therapy, retreats, etc.).

Let's discuss some practical skills for taking a step back from the emotional fragility of hormones and erratic reactions, accessing a new perspective, and delivering a different kind of dialogue approach to reach your teen. Knowing how to talk to your teen doesn't come automatically. There will be good days and hard days, but no matter what, we can stay open to growing as parents and fostering a message of acceptance and compassion that impacts our teens, not just with words, but tone, energy and connection. Listen in and learn how to be a parent your teen feels comfortable talking to. 

In this episode we will answer questions like:

"What do teens really need from their parents?"

"If I want to be a good parent, what do I focus on with my teen?"

"What is my main goal as a parent?"

"How can I parent consciously?"

"I feel like a bad parent, what can I do to stop being so reactive?"

Let's dig in and deconstruct EVERYTHING so we can REconstruct a mindset, a life, and a world we love. The goal here is to make our way through (with a good dose of sarcasm and irreverence) some dialogue in order to develop the skills necessary to build psychologically and emotionally safe environments for all humans. 

We'll talk through anything and everything that humans experience today: relationships, health, mental health, emotions, parenting, success... Let's define and redefine what these things mean to us and learn to show up with attunement and compassion.

Let me prepare you... I'm irreverant. But only about conditioning and systems. I have ONE absolute rule in my house and that is this: Revere all humans. Reverence does NOT equal respect. Respect is earned and learned. Reverence comes with existence. 

I am an Executive Mindfulness Coach, author, sole parent, and fiery soul. My mission in life is to spread the wealth of health education. And that mostly means I critique culture and share what I believe contributes to the conditioning around said cultural standards.

I'm committed to showing up and running my mouth. Please consider committing to listening with openness and SHARING this podcast with your people– it'll be SUCH a great conversation-starter:)
