Breaking the Rules

Breaking the Rules

We were handed a lot of rules. Nobody said we had to keep them. Keep the peace. Put everyone else first. Be the bigger person. Act your age. Don’t start over. Breaking the Rules takes on the unwritten rules women have been handed about motherhood, marriage, friendships, careers, grief, aging and everything in between—and asks one question: Does this rule deserve to survive? Some we’ll keep. Some we’ll rewrite. And some we’ll burn to the fucking ground. Because by this age, we know which rules are bullshit.

Somewhere along the way, women were handed the ridiculous idea that we’re supposed to be liked by everyone. Be agreeable. Be polite. Don’t be too loud, too opinionated, or too much. Well, screw that. In this episode of Breaking the Rules, we’re talking about people-pleasing, the exhausting need for approval, and why being everyone’s favorite person is not the flex you think it is. From fake friendships to...

Be the Bigger Person? Yeah, No. Who the hell decided that being the bigger person means swallowing your feelings, tolerating disrespect, and cleaning up messes you didn’t make? Because I’ve got questions. In the very first episode of Breaking the Rules, we’re calling bullshit on one of the most overused pieces of advice we’ve ever been handed.

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
