The Mostly Awkward Podcast
Courtney Betts & Emily Brame
Welcome to the Mostly Awkward Podcast. If you’ve ever lost sleep after doing something really weird, this is the place for you. Mixing psychology and self-acceptance with comedy, the Mostly Awkward Podcast is here to make your life a little bit easier. Each week, hosts Courtney and Emily dive into different embarrassing moments or hard to tackle social situations. Together, they break them down step by step, analyse them, share personal examples, laugh at themselves, then release shame and sleep like little babies at night. New episodes are released every Tuesday. Come along for the ride!
Pod Update: On Hiatus!
Hey everyone... this isn't an episode. We just wanted to let you know that we are going on hiatus for a bit (unsure for how long) because today is literally Courtney's due date for baby. So until life settles down again we are putting our podcast side project on hold. Hope you have beautiful holidays, a great start to 2024, and see you sometime later!

049. Awkward Views on Pregnancy with Special Guest Erwin
It’s an episode all on pregnancy! If you didn’t know, Courtney and Erwin are expecting their first baby in December. In this episode, Erwin joins the show and they tell the full story: when they knew they were ready for a baby, how they found out they were pregnant, their plans for birth, the languages the baby will speak, and more! Erwin even goes on a full rant about eggs, which is incredibly important and necessary. *Little disclaimer: we recorded this entire episode and then realized the microphone wasn't plugged in, so the audio isn't the best, but it is what it is*

043. The Creepy Viral Bumble Dude: How to Avoid Weirdos on the Internet
There’s being awkward… and then there’s being just plain creepy. In today’s episode, we discuss a viral twitter chain that exposed a man in Toronto (and surrounding area) for what he’s been doing to women on dating apps and social media for 10+ years. Unfortunately, this type of behaviour spans far and wide, and we discuss red flags, some personal stories, and why this is so important to talk about. Thank you so much to Kelsey who started this conversation, and to every single woman who has spoken up since. You build the foundation for every woman to tell their story.
