justUS

After four unforgettable years, this is our final episode of justUS. What started as a conversation between friends turned into a community—one built on honesty, growth, and the willingness to talk about the things that matter most. In this episode, we look back on some of our favorite moments, the conversations that stayed with us, and everything this journey has meant. More than anything, this is a thank you. Thank you for listening. Thank you for engaging. Thank you for growing with us. Whether you've been here from the beginning or just found us along the way, you've been part of what made justUS special. This isn't easy—but it feels right to reflect, to appreciate, and to say goodbye the way this podcast always existed: transparently. To everyone who supported justUS—we're endlessly grateful. Make sure to like, comment, and share your favorite memories with us. We'd love to hear what moments meant the most to you! Follow our journeys!

After three years of honest, meaningful, and sometimes hard conversations, we are closing this chapter of justUS Podcast. In this first episode of this final season, we sit down together to reflect on the journey — what we built, what we learned, and why we're choosing to end with intention rather than just fade out. We talk about the bittersweet reality of endings, and why we believe that closing one door doesn't diminish everything that came before it. Endings can be beautiful. And this one is ours. To every single person who listened, shared, reached out, or simply let our voices keep you company — thank you. You were never just an audience. You were always part of the conversation. It has been an honor. Let's keep talking and connecting 💛 Follow Tashira @PoliticsFashion Follow Margo https://www.instagram.com/margo.lindauer/ FOLLOW justUS: Instagram → justus_pod TikTok → justUS Podcast Substack→ Follow Us Watch justUS on YouTube → Subscribe

In this episode, Margo and Tashira ask the question that has been on our minds lately: What happened to being interesting? We talk about the shortage of cool, curious people and when being smart somehow became uncool. Has fitting in always been the goal, or was it once a privilege to stand out and be multidimensional? We dig into the tension between uniqueness and online conformity, what we lose when we edit ourselves for public consumption, and how social media shapes our individuality and belonging.

We're back! The Make America Healthy Again movement has taken over the Internet and spread lots of health misinformation. In this episode, Margo and Tashira track MAHA's rise, common health myths, and explore the science-driven structural changes needed in America's healthcare system.

In this episode, Margo and Tashira explore what it means to evolve through the often unseen and under-celebrated phases of life. We talk about letting go of people's expectations, prioritizing joy, ending relationships (when necessary), and choosing ourselves over the safe, expected path. With laughs, vulnerability, and the kind of realness you only get at a big age, we invite listeners into a candid conversation about what it means to continuously evolve.

In this episode, Margo and Tashira unpack the illusion of the American middle class and ask the pressing question: When is enough, enough? Through stories of childhood, shifting identities, and financial growth, Margo and Tashira reflect on what it really means to achieve one's goals, and what it feels like once you're there. From braces and private school to burnout and solo-preneurship, this conversation explores generational change, economic reality, and the quiet power of choosing contentment. Whether you're chasing the bag or redefining wealth on your own terms, this episode will challenge how you think about class, money, and enoughness.

Whose algorithm is it anyway? In this episode, Tashira and Margo dive into the increasingly fractured digital landscape we all inhabit—where two like-minded people can still experience wildly different versions of reality through our devices. What happens when you switch Instagrams with someone close to you? What does your algorithm say about you? From fashion and wellness content to activism and misinformation, we explore how curated feeds shape our worldview, skew our sense of truth, and even influence our politics. We also discuss the power—and the pitfalls—of digital activism in an era where virality fades faster than justice. This one's part digital diary, part social critique, and a whole lot of real talk.

In this episode, Margo and Tashira dive into the chaos unfolding in Washington—from the adolescent antics plaguing the highest levels of government to the radical restructuring of federal agencies under the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). We dig into the blurring of lines between tech billionaires and elected officials, and the dangerous implications of gutting vital services in favor of billionaire tax cuts. As always, with sharp critique, biting humor, and real talk, Margo and Tashira unpack the authoritarian undertones (and overtones) during this political moment, the international stakes with Ukraine, and what's really behind the anti-"woke" agenda sweeping the country. It's time to call a thing a thing: our government has been taken over by teenage boys.

In this episode, Margo & Tashira check in—emotionally, spiritually and politically, during what feels like the slow unraveling of our democratic systems. We talk honestly about how we're riding the waves: presence, fear, joy, anger, and despair. From cold plunges to Pina Coladas and joyful brunches, we explore what it means to take care of ourselves and each other in uncertain times. We also dive into the confusion and fear that many leaders, organizations, and everyday folks are feeling in response to the current administration. We reflect on how it's impacting our relationships, our activism, and even our nervous systems. This is a conversation about finding micro-moments of joy, building connection in a fragmented world, and resisting the pressure to assimilate or fall silent.

In this episode, Margo and Tashira discuss their experiences with both "big T" and "little T" trauma in our lives, and how our trauma responses have affect our day-to-day lives in ways that we might not have expected (or even be consciously aware of.) In reference to the title of this episode, we also discuss how these responses also have protected us, even when the experiential aspect of having these responses may be unpleasant. And so, we ask the question: How do we address ourselves when we get angry about the feelings we are having?

In this episode, Margo and Tashira reveal some rather unexpected insights about each other. Tashira sets up a deck of arguments that all point to Margo being a lesbian, and Margo shares more reasons than would fill a Louis Vuitton "Neverfull" bag as to why Tashira may be a secret, or not-so-secret Trad Wife!

In this episode, Margo and Tashira talk about some of their big age "splurges!" When is it a splurge, and when is it a necessity? We discuss Tashira's recent acquisition of her first Birkin bag, Margo's hiring of a personal (and business) organizer, and how sometimes luxuries that are seen as "extras" might be more essential than for which they are given credit. We also dig into the ethics of "gatekeeping" luxury goods by brands like Hermes, Porsche and Rolex. Should luxury brands get to decide who is allowed to purchase their products at retail?

In this episode, Margo and Tashira talk about how to stay safe, mentally and physically, when your identity is under attack, as many within the LGBTQIA+ community are now experiencing, and are preparing for an environment that is likely to continue to grow in hostility in the near future as MAGA republicans take hold of the House, Senate, and Executive branches in January.
