  • Solicited In The DM's

    Hey Everyone, 

    Welcome back to another episode of Black, Broke & Anxious Podcast. This episode is going to be a storytime/rant about being solicited in the DM's by business/services. Since being on Instagram and releasing my episode it has become apparent that I'm a lost cause looking for a diet plan to save and and have compelled these businesses to come into my DM's to be my saviour (for a fee of course). I speak about my experience with them, how I respond to them and try to advise others on how to handle the predators. Let me know what you think and follow me on Instagram for more posts and information @blackbrokeandanxiouspodcast.

  • Insane In The Membrane
    I hope you had the song in your head when you read the title of this episode. This episode is about how PCOS affects your mental health and stability and the medical and therapeutic tools that I have personally taken to overcome this huge lurking shadow. Now this journey is not over and to be honest, I don't think it will ever be over but knowing I have the support and tools to recognise and act makes me feel like I'm the tortoise.

  • Crown & Glory
    Welcome back to another episode of Black, Broke & Anxious. In this episode, I'm going to talk about the trials and tribulations of how PCOS, Anxiety & Depression has affected my hair and how even though certain vitamins were doing wonders for my hair growth and the volume of my hair. Little did I know these vitamins was the main reason why my periods were becoming a never-ending flow. Having PCOS affecting your hair growth as a woman but as a black woman, it's much tougher mentally due to the emphasis placed on our hair aka our crown & glory.

  • PCOS In the Office

    Following on from the dreary episode might as well date my uterus, comes a more lighthearted episode. PCOS in the office talks about how I and I'm sure other people with PCOS navigate within the work environment. From the brain fog to the LONG WALK (listen and you'll get it) to the PMS and the famous temper tantrums, this is an episode I'm sure you'll be able to resonate with.

  • Might As Well Date My Uterus

    So this the episode I've been dreading to release..... I'm sure the title alone can show you the frustration I currently have with myself and the dating game. Im not gonna lie it's deep and dreary soooo I'll do the TRIGGER WARNING and warn you to listen at your own risk, I would hate for someone to feel triggered by what i'm saying about myself. Anyways, I asked a question in this episode and would love to know.......... How did you tell your significant other about your chronic condition? Whether it be PCOS or another condition that affects your reproductive organs. You can answer within the comments or alternatively head to my Instagram where you can DM your response. I will not disclose your name and it will be kept completely confidential. Answers will be posted in a separate instagram post I would like to create. Instagram- @blackbrokeandanxiouspodcast

  • Not The Skinniest Girl On The Block
    Hey everyone, Happy 2021. I'm back with a new episode talking about how fat I am lol, no, it's really about how PCOS has affected me weight wise. From how I can breathe to hard and put on 6 pounds (Thank you insulin resistance) to my self esteem and trying to battle with my weight. PCOS is a chronic disorder that can affect someone weight gain/ loss due to the hormonal imbalance. However, people in the same position as me still strive to to loose weight and maintain a healthy balance,

  • Lack Of Regularity

    Hi All,

    Hope you all enjoyed the holiday season. Unfortunately, its back to business for a lot of us but I'm excited to be getting back to the podcast and advocating for PCOS. This episode is about the blood bath that is my period, from the gushing bloody waterfall to being confused and skeptical of using regular tampons pad free (It's a genuine fear) .

  • BBA-PCOS Whilst Black Story time
    Hi All- Thank you for sticking round to episode two. This episode is a story time about the s*** a black women with PCOS have to go through. This is my honest experience and although this is just one person who represents an organisation and Im sure that person doesn't speak for the whole organisation. however unfortunately this is a classic example of how black women's symptoms are dismissed. 
    Hope you stick around for more of my content and if you want to see what I'm up to please follow me on Instagram @blackbrokeandanxiouspodcast
