Amazing - I’m Finally Understood!
I’m from a mixed class background - highly educated but so poor growing up that other kids mocked us for having holes in our shoes. I learned how to behave in a restaurant by being a waitress. I dropped out of college after two years because I couldn’t imagine taking on debt, and then was admitted to an MFA program based on the quality of my writing and my publishing credentials. I emerged without debt and then was deviled by a problem in a women’s group I attended for more than ten years. We called ourselves the Wolf Pack. Almost all the other wolves came from money and were earning decently. Me, no - freelance writer, reasonably successful but that didn’t mean money. Every so often, I’d mention that I perceived a class difference, usually in a one-on-one convo with another wolf, and every blessed time, I was dissed about this, told I should let go of it, and that I should think better of myself. Yikes! Is it any wonder I had to leave the group eventually? When I found the CLASSY podcast, I just tore through all the episodes. Please make more!

I plowed through this show in like 5 days. Was so good. Thoughtful, funny, and lends to introspection. Watch out - you are gonna be paying a whole lot more attention to class.
