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.

From Burnout to Bass Drops: Why Michelle Left a Successful Business to Chase Joy
What happens when the life you thought you wanted turns out to be the very thing burning you out?
In this episode, we sit down with the radiant and rebellious Michelle Keinan, somatic therapist, mom, wife, and former 6-figure online coach who walked away from the hustle, the clients, and the “you’re so successful” compliments to pursue something totally unexpected: becoming a DJ.
We dive deep into what it really means to live a rich life (spoiler: it’s not about money), how to escape the comparison trap on social media, and why so many of us feel stuck chasing someone else’s version of success.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, is this it?, or feeling like you’re living a life that looks good on the outside but doesn’t feel aligned on the inside, this one’s for you.
