Mood Swings the Podcast
Moodswings is what happens when two lifelong best friends both in their 40s, mildly unhinged, and powered by equal parts rage and sunshine, decide the world needs to hear their inner monologues... out loud. Each week comes with a cocktail that matches the mood. Whether it’s a spicy margarita to celebrate your villain era or a bottle of red wine straight from the bottle (we’re not judging), we’ve got your emotional support drink covered.
One minute they’re offering deep life advice, the next they’re crying over 90s R&B or rage-texting their kids’ school group chat. No mood is off-limits. No topic is too sacred. From perimenopause meltdowns to midlife glow-ups, current events, to therapy breakthroughs, Moodswings is your weekly dose of chaotic wisdom wrapped in sarcasm and sisterhood.
Think of it as a group chat with your funniest, most unfiltered friends except you don’t have to text back.

In this episode of Mood Swings, Jae and Kendra crack open the glittery trap that was the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program, aka the place where all the “smart kids” were told they were special… and then quietly handed lifelong anxiety.
The girls discuss the GATE program and unpack the long-term impact of being labeled “gifted” as children. From academic pressure and identity struggles to conspiracy theories about memory wipes and “the pink drink,” this episode explores how early labels shape adulthood — and whether being gifted was a blessing… or a setup.
