Good Genes Podcast

Cousins, it’s time for another Life’s a Trip!

This week, we’re diving into some of the toughest money conversations families face.

Should adult children help their parents financially, even if it sets them back? What advice would you give someone approaching retirement who isn’t financially prepared? And what’s actually harder, making money, keeping money, or saying no?

We also tackle a question that’s sure to spark debate: Can someone honestly say they’re struggling financially while continuing to spend money on luxury items?

As always, Necia and Hailey share their honest perspectives, challenge each other’s viewpoints, and invite you to think critically about money, family, responsibility, and financial priorities.

There may not be one right answer, but these are conversations worth having.

Which question challenged your perspective the most?

Cousins,

Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year?

In Episode 33, Necia and Hailey reflect on some of the goals they’ve accomplished during the first six months of the year and share what they’re looking forward to achieving in the months ahead.

The conversation then shifts to one of the most important topics affecting so many of us today, budgeting in today’s economy.

Cousins, we discuss the importance of knowing your numbers by understanding your income, net pay, gross pay, monthly expenses, overhead, and how much money you actually have available to save, invest, and enjoy.

We also have an honest conversation about inflation, the rising cost of living, and the financial challenges many Americans are facing. More importantly, we share practical and relatable strategies for creating a budget that works for your lifestyle instead of against it.

This week, we’re asking the kind of questions that make you pause, reflect, and examine your faith.

Have you ever had to trust God without knowing how everything would work out? Have you ever held on to something that God was asking you to place in His hands? And how do you know the difference between waiting on God’s timing and avoiding obedience?

In this episode, Necia and Hailey answer thought-provoking questions about faith, trust, obedience, and community while sharing their personal perspectives and life experiences.

We’ll also discuss how faith communities can support people without judgment and reflect on seasons where God’s “No” or “Wait” turned out to be protection.

These conversations don’t always have easy answers, but they’re worth having.

Throughout this episode, Greg shares his perspective on one of the biggest misconceptions women have about men, how relationships have changed over the years, and his thoughts on monogamy, open relationships, and what it takes to build healthy connections.

Cousins, you’ll also hear Greg discuss the standards women should never compromise on, lessons he’s learned through life and relationships, and advice for navigating today’s dating landscape.

In honor of Father’s Day, we also take time to celebrate and shout out the fathers who have made a positive impact on our lives and communities.

Cousins,

Have you ever looked back on your life and realized that what felt like setbacks or delays were actually preparing you for your purpose?

In Episode 30, Necia and Hailey sit down with Miami Gardens Councilwoman Katrina Baskin (Seat 1) for a conversation about faith, purpose, leadership, motherhood, and legacy.

Katrina shares her journey from educator to councilwoman, growing up as a preacher’s kid, finding God for herself, and how every chapter of her life prepared her for the work she does today.

As the founder of Broadway in the Gardens, a recent NAACP honoree, and co-host of the On The Couch Podcast, Katrina offers wisdom and inspiration for anyone striving to walk in purpose while serving others.

Sometimes what feels like a detour is actually preparation.
