Welcome to Ducks Unplugged — A podcast where two women from different generations sit down and just start talking.
Work, life, relationships, parenting, pop culture — no topic stays in one lane for long, and nothing is off limits. No scripts. No overthinking. Just real conversations, strong opinions, and the occasional tangent that goes exactly where you’d expect… or nowhere close.
Somewhere in the middle, you’ll pick up real perspective on careers, relationships, and life transitions — the kind that sticks with you long after the conversation ends.
