Can I Be Honest with Valentina & Lina
Can I Be Honest is the podcast where curiosity takes the mic, and judgment gets the mute button. Hosted by Valentina Weinman and Lina Forrestal, two real-life mom friends who a lot of hot takes and zero interest in small talk. They dive into the taboo, the touchy, and the totally misunderstood. Through candid conversations and interviews with guests from all walks of life, they explore the stories and perspectives that challenge norms, spark empathy, and push us to think a little deeper. This isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about being bold enough to ask better questions.
