  • "John 1:16 says..."
    On this week’s episode, Mercy and Lydia make the bold decision of not having any guests. Don’t worry though, it’s not as boring as you’d think.

    "If you think you're unattractive does that mean you're insecure?" is the question of the day on this week's episode, and Mercy and Lydia can't seem to see eye to eye. Joined by friends Lynn and Winta, the girls tackle everything from how to define confidence to why "gassing" your friends can be problematic. Whether you're a 5 or  10, you're not gonna want to miss this brutally honest and heated convo.

  • "Did you like my post?"
    The girls are back with the follow up episode that nobody asked for. On part two of the social media discussion, Mercy and the trio of Lydias zero in on the different types of people on insta, from those who post testimonies and those who like the mute and unfollow button a little too much. In the midst of the giggle fests and overlapping discussion, the girls actually dropped some wisdom. You just might have to re-listen to the episode a couple of times to catch it all. And maybe after you re-listen, you can also check out Lydia Woya's cool and hip youtube channel at LifewithLydia.

Anywho, on part one of this discussion, the girls reminisce the good ol' tumblr days, express their grievances about snapchat streaks and tackle how these apps and others have changed the way we connect with each other. This episode is perfect to listen to while you're scrolling through your feed or responding to dms from your multiple suitors. Don't snap and drive and stay tuned for part two.

  • "Why you moving funny?"

    On this week’s episode, Mercy and Lydia, alongside friends Marco and Abel, talk about if actions speak louder than intentions. What starts as a chill conversation about being understanding turns into a podcast soap opera as the gang start sharing stories about times when giving the benefit of the doubt wasn’t so easy. It’s wild. Tune in to hear their thoughts on people who "screen",  people who flip out and people who interrupt a podcast recording for a potty break.

  • Pilot - Secrets and Shoutouts

    On the pilot of this new podcast, we get to listen to the hosts Mercy and Lydia ramble for almost 10 minutes. But it's like a cute rambling. And it's juicy, cause it turns out one of them is taken *gasp*. Also, they get really soft and talk about how it takes a village to raise a podcast. So yeah.
