    2026/07/13

    Welcome to *Listen to My Mouth Unfiltered* — the podcast where no topic is off-limits and the truth shows up unpolished, honest, and real. In this introduction episode, Tab and Sara share who they are, how they became close friends, and why they created a space for conversations that usually stay behind closed doors.

    From true crime, conspiracy theories, ghosts, and dark lore to mental health, family struggles, religious trauma, and the systems that quietly make life harder, this show is all about calling out what's broken while still finding room to laugh along the way. Tab and Sara also open up about their own lived experiences, including medical challenges, trauma, therapy, recovery, and the power of friendship through some of life's darkest moments.

    If you like raw conversation, a little chaos, a lot of heart, and two friends who aren't afraid to say what everyone else is thinking, you're in the right place. Pull up a chair, deadbolt the door, and get ready for the real stories, the real hauntings, and the real-life issues.
