Mic'd and Medicated: Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert
Welcome to Mic’d and Medicated.
We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life — from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.
We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be…
Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.
