Wow it has been a while. I am back with a longtime amazing pal of mine. So excited about this episode. Ariana (aka Twin - you will understand when you listen) and I had the most raw, impactful, deep conversation as we come to terms with all that has happened from adolescence to the toddler stage of adulthood. This episode really allows you to see and feel how much it has taken to rebuild. We have both redefined many parts of our lives and it has allowed us to become so emotionally mature. It has taken a village! I hope you all feel all the feels on this episode - this was a vulnerable one. Enjoy! Intro music by meechiano you can find him on Instagram @meech.powers.

I cannot believe this is episode 10. We are officially in the double digits. Finally got to sit down and talk with a special someone who has been in my life for over a decade now. Justin is truly the most amazing person, the most present friend - he is my family. I could not see my life without him. He has seen me go through all the highs and all the lows. I am so thankful we were able to do this and discuss moving out, dealing with loved ones passing away, and overall, just pushing through adulthood. I hope you guys enjoy the episode.

If you asked me two years ago about this exact moment being a reality, I wouldn't be able to believe you. Kaylin isn't just any person in my life. She is the first friend I made when I moved into a new town more than ten years ago. She is the one person who has truly taught me the power of forgiveness and how to communicate what is going on in my mind. We are polar opposites that have been through so much but no matter what we stay a unit. She is truly an inspiration, and I am forever grateful to have her in my life. I hope you guys enjoy the episode. As always, intro music is by meechiano you can find him on Instagram @meech.powers. Follow the pods Instagram @downanddirtythepodcast.

The first day I met Angie, I knew she would be a soul I would never forget. There was a lot of my childhood and adolescence that reminded me of her - it was very relatable. The pressure, the feeling that you have to lead the ship to safety, the constant struggle. Yet we remain standing and pushing forward. Ang is truly almost superhero like. I hope you enjoy getting to know her! As always, intro music is by meechiano you can find him on IG: @meech.powers. Follow the pods instagram @downanddirtythepodcast.

We are back after a month - March had a lot going on but don't worry I was still recording. This episode with my pal Casey really speaks to all the women that have to make a hard decision to leave someone and start new. It can be scary, but Casey has taught me so much about taking your power back and doing what is best for you. I was pretty sick during this episode, so my voice struggled in some parts, but we made it work. I hope you enjoy hearing Casey and learning from her story she is one of the strongest and most caring people I know. As always intro music by meechiano you can find him on IG: @meech.powers.

Reaching the 3rd floor means the toddler stage of adulthood is officially over, and you are now a real adult. I feel really good about this episode. I had girl talk with a special and beautiful person that I have been so blessed with. We talk about turning 30, things women overlook or do not understand about men, and the importance and power of staying consistent with yourself. Pamela is such a wise soul. She teaches me so much about life. I hope you enjoy this episode. As always intro music by meechiano, you can find him on IG: meech.powers.

The moment we have been waiting for has finally come. This episode was a moment my 18-year-old sister and I will never forget. We have a sisterhood unlike any other that I have ever seen. My best friend, confidant, my other half, the only person I ever want to be around shares life growing up with me from her POV. Emotional awareness and communication have played such a huge role in our lives, and it has also made our family strong. It was honestly an honor to have her come on the show. I hope you enjoy this episode! As always intro music by meechiano you can find him on IG: @meech.powers.

This episode holds a special place in my heart. Sitting down with the most wonderful kids to talk about real life, stress during sports, or just misunderstandings between them and adults was powerful. Sometimes we have to acknowledge that kids are just little people trying to understand life and they deserve to be heard. They normally do not have a person to unpack what they are feeling or ask the questions they need answers to. I am so glad they were able to express themselves and have a good time doing so! I hope you enjoy and gain a perspective of life from a 10-year-olds POV. As always intro music by meechiano, you can find him on Instagram at @meech.powers.

It was a great honor to have one of my best friends on this episode with me to discuss topics that relate to us all through this digital world we live in. We had a powerful conversation about modern masculinity, self-perception, and the disconnects we can have within ourselves or with others. The power of protecting your peace is crucial and so is the art of not giving a damn. I hope you enjoy this episode! As always intro music by meechiano you can find him on IG: @meech.powers.

This episode is truly something special and important for women and men to hear. I sit down with a special someone who plays a friend, mother, and womanly figure/role in my life. Despite being in her 50s and me in my 20s we have formed such a deep and meaningful friendship. It is truly a conversation filled with insight, honesty and timeless lessons. Enjoy!!
