Are you sexually satisfied? (Be honest). If you even hesitated then this week’s episode might be exactly what you need. We sat down with Dr. Joy Berkheimer, therapist, sexologist and author of Why Won't He Call? for a very candid conversation about sex, intimacy and pleasure. 

We dive into:

• What the "intimacy recession" means for ALL of us (not just Gen Z)
• Why your "compatibility" issues might not be about sex at all
• How to actually ask for what you want in bed and do so without shame
• Why Dr. Joy thinks no one should get married before they turn 30… 

Whether you're single, partnered or somewhere in between, there's something in this episode for you.

What happens when your best day collides with your worst?

In this conversation, we sit down with poet and author Rachel Eliza Griffiths to discuss her memoir The Flower Bearers.

Rachel shares the story of her wedding day, which became both the best and worst day of her life when she learned of her closest friend Aisha's sudden passing.

Together we explore the physical and emotional toll of grief, the power of our chosen sisterhood, and what it looks like to survive multiple traumas within months.

Rachel opens up about navigating anger, shame, and eventually healing, while honoring the love that sustains us through unimaginable loss. We talk about resilience and the courage it takes to choose joy even in the midst of profound grief.

We’ve all dreamt of starting fresh somewhere new, perhaps a sunny beach or bustling city or blissful countryside- but what do those dreams look like in reality? And are they actually attainable?

Joining us today is Christine Job- host of Flourish in the Foreign, to talk all about her move to Spain and why living abroad was always her dream.

Christine offers honest insights about gentrification, housing markets, cultural integration, and what it really takes to build a sustainable, intentional life abroad.

Whether you're seriously considering a move or simply curious about what life beyond borders looks like, this conversation will get you to think deeper about migration, wellness, and what true liberation might mean…

Certified breathwork facilitator and founder of The Self-Care Suite Tara Pringle Jefferson joins us to reframe self-care beyond consumerism. Drawing from her new book Bloom How You Must: A Black Woman’s Guide to Self-Care and Generational Healing, Tara unpacks the “strong Black woman” narrative, shares what was happening in her life when her doctor literally prescribed rest as medicine, and points out practical ways to build support, not just stamina. We get into social and professional wellness (hello, sabbaticals), the power of “third places,” why it’s important to indulge creative rituals that aren’t rooted in perfectionism, and the intergenerational wisdom she gathered from talking to 100 Black women ages 19–99. Plus: Toni Morrison’s lesson on boundaries, Coretta Scott King’s vocation-as-service, and a simple mandate for 2026 (remember you’re human).

 In this special New Year’s Eve episode, we’re looking back on 2025 and reflect on rest, rejection, joy, grief, and community. We revisit some of the conversations, cultural moments, and personal lessons that shaped the year, while naming what we’re proud of for simply making it through.

What are we leaving behind? And what are we carrying forward into 2026?

This episode is an invitation to release what no longer serves us and step into the new year with more intention, softness, joy, and more of ourselves.
