Social media is one of the most powerful tools of our time, but is it helping us or hurting us? In this episode, we break down the double-edged sword of life online. From the negative side—mental health struggles, false validation, misinformation, and distorted realities—to the positive side—building community, sparking creativity, spreading knowledge, and bringing entertainment and joy—we cover it all. Join us as we unpack how social media shapes the way we think, feel, and connect in today’s world.

In this episode, We Introduce Dwuan Gandy to the Pod. We also dive into the wild world of the Tea app — a so-called social platform that’s turning into a full-blown gossip hub, often targeting men and stirring up messy drama. Is it empowering or just petty? We unpack the line between entertainment and slander.

Plus, we reflect on the passing of Hulk Hogan and how his legacy is complicated — overshadowed by past racist remarks that still hang heavy in public memory. Can a legacy ever be separated from controversy? Tap in for the full breakdown.

In this episode, we’re getting real about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being laid off. From the stress of job hunting to the pressure of staying productive when all you really want to do is sleep—it’s a tough balance. We talk about navigating the in-between, setting boundaries with your time, and learning to give yourself grace without spiraling into job board burnout.

Then, we shift gears for a much-needed PSA: It’s hot outside. Summer is in full swing, and some of y’all are forgetting the basics. We’re diving into summer hygiene—yes, we’re talking showers, body care, and making sure you're not out here disrespecting nostrils. Let’s normalize smelling good and staying fresh.

In this episode, we're diving deep into two topics that often stir up emotions and spark debates. First, we're tackling body image issues—how they shows up in everyday life, its impact on self-esteem, and how we can collectively move toward more supportive, body-positive conversations.

Next, we’re asking the big question: When should a woman pull out her wallet? We'll look at the dynamics of dating, when it comes to paying the bill. Should the burden of paying fall on one person, or should it be shared?
