Authentically Us, The Podcast

In this episode we discuss dating, chiiiilllleee. This is the start of the AUTP dating series and what better way than to start it off with our girl Ariie! Yes, she's back!! We all agree that dating in this new generation is G.H.E.T.T.O. There is a meme that says "Dating is a lot like playing 'duck, duck, goose,' sometimes you gotta be ready to RUN!" If that ain't the TRUTH. The dating scene can be very frustrating, complicated and a mess, especially if you are just getting back into it. The most common form of dating has become online dating, since COVID-19. Research shows that three in every ten adults has used a dating app or website. However, online dating comes with a whole set of potential mishaps.

In this episode, we welcome our first guest of the year, Ariana aka Ari, as we dive deep into our past and present relationships. Chelsea also asks a few questions using the card game "Let's Get Deep." These random questions came from the 'deeper' pile of the game and they specifically asked about relationships and real life experiences pertaining to the relationships we have had/currently are dealing with. "Relationships are not easy. They have problems that come in many shapes and forms. Getting through the bad times, taking responsibility for your mistakes, forgiveness, removing people that are no longer needed in your life...are all obstacles we face!"

Hello #AUTP fam, EP.12 is titled: Black Excellence (Social Workers Edition). In this episode, we took a different approach when it came to interviewing. A few of our colleagues were graduating from grad school with their Masters Degree in Social Work and we gathered together to celebrate them. Being that we were in a room full the social workers (with the exception of one other professional). We decided “hey, why not interview them/ask a few questions while we’re all together?” Even though it was a function; the vibes were so right and it was only right to do it! Honestly, this episode was really for memory purposes, but we decided to share it with you all because there were so many gems and everyone said that it was fine :D We plan to have those who are on this episode and more on the podcast at a later time, individually. We appreciate everyone who we interviewed! Thank you all and special thanks to the host @finessethechef ❤️

Tis the season to be thankful. Have you ever just sat back and expressed gratitude over your life? In this episode that’s exactly what we’re doing! SO often we get caught up in what is going wrong, that we forget about what is going right. Join us as we dive into being thankful. Happy Holiday Season!

You may often hear the term “trust the process” as cliche as it can be, it is a great way of saying let go and have faith while doing it. In this episode, we dive a little into our past life and relationship experiences. Even if things may have not been what we expected, the whole purpose of our past is to make a segue into our present to eventually foresee our future because when you trust the process it will take you to places you never imagined.

In this episode, we talk about voting, the history & logistics of why we vote, and Michigan’s general election. The statewide general election was held on Tuesday. November 8, 2022. This election brought up many tough proposals. We both agreed that this is a sensitive topic across the nation but wanted to give our opinions on it!
