We're back like we never left! In this week's episode we're addressing the elephant in the room: what was the purpose of our hiatus? 

We talk about it all from life transitions and changes to leaning into our intuition to make major life decisions. Jeaiza also shares updates on her personal journey and what's next from here. When is the last time you leaned into your intuition to make a decision that scared you?

In this episode Andre's back on the pod for an open and honest conversation between Black men and Black women about our relationships, where we struggle to be seen by each other and where we could be doing more for each other.
