Hiiiiiiii there friends! If you've been living under a rock, maybe you haven't heard of "Scandoval" and the drama taking place on Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules". The scandal that's taken over the globe (well maybe the nation) has us all in a tizzy as we try to make sense of the affair that rocked our worlds. #TeamArianaForever. And who better to deep dive into all things VPR and Bravo? None other than one of our favorite Bravo content creators and ally of the pod, @Bravooomg! This super-sized episode was so much fun to record and, as always, a treat! #ChatSoon

What. An. Episode. We had a vulnerable and transparent chit-chat with LaToya Williams, MA-MFT, founder of Your Greatest Good Coaching and advocate of emotional intelligence and personal empowerment. LaToya (aka Mo) and I get really honest about our mental health journey and what it means to be "neuro spicy" in the Black and Brown community. We also get into the uptick of ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) diagnoses of women in their 30s and 40s and how it has impacted the lives of so many who have struggled and thrived with this superpower.  This whole episode should be an advertisement for "I SAID WHAT I SAID", really. Join us for this raw and honest episode as we get into it all and disrupt the norms in every way. I'm grateful for these conversations and hope this impacts you in a positive way. Chat Soon!
