  • Spotlight Convo: "I Don't Want A Relationship, I Just Want It To Feel Like One"

    Situationships, entanglements, friends with benefits, just kicking it, Netflix and chill, sneaky links......


    Whatever we're calling it nowadays, let's talk about it. The majority of these situations seemingly start off as a "no strings attached" agreement but they rarely stay that way. Spending time and having sex with someone over an extended period of time is going to create some form of attachment no matter how secretive it is.

    In this episode are two amazingly intuitive and introspective relationship and mental health coaches to have a one on one conversation about their personal and professional experience on the mindset behind the statement "I don't want a relationship, I just want it to feel like one"

    They will be sharing with us what we should expect if we decide to get involved and what to look out for if we want to avoid this type of situation.

    Please go ahead and follow @relationship_gumbo and @blkgirlsgetntheirshift2gether on Instagram🔦🎙🔥

  • Social Media Addiction: How To Break The Habit

    The addiction to likes, comments, views and shares has insidiously rooted itself into the fabric of our lives. If it's not you, then you definitely know someone who is affected.


    But if everybody's doing it how could it possibly be bad right?

    In the social media era it seems that while we consciously strive for connection we're becoming subconsciously more disconnected than ever before.

    And what affect does this phenomenon have on our mental health?

    Whether you agree or disagree with our opinions about the social media disconnect, we would love to hear your thoughts about this topic.

    Listen to this episode and give us your feedback on social media addiction🎙🔥

  • Maintaining A Healthy Friendship Within A Marriage

    Having a strong and healthy friendship with your spouse is so important. It's astonishing how many people will commit to doing life with someone they don't enjoy being around.


    I'm happy to say that my special guests Keaton and Tanika Kendrick thoroughly enjoy each other's company and they keep friendship at the center of their marriage while also being great parents and successful entrepreneurs. This ain't something I heard, this is something that I've seen and experienced.

    I'm really looking forward to having this conversation with my little bro and sis because they are a positive example of young, healthy black love.
