I Love You, But BFFR

Love you, but BFFR — what the media is “teaching” you about wellness is *mostly* a lie designed to steal your monies. My favorite fitness girlie, Jasmine Henry — a holistic health coach, Orange Theory Manager, and certified yoga instructor, joins us to debunk the myths.

We get into:

💋 Obsessing over Pilates and cardio won’t get you your “dream” body

💋 The high-protein everything craze (like the Khloe Kardashian popcorn) and why that alone isn’t enough

💋 Why developing muscle and improving bone density is more sustainable and realistic

💋How social media distorts body image expectations to create exclusivity and increase consumer spending

💋Cultural foods can be part of a healthy diet with modifications.

💋 The ongoing Tory/Megan controversy and the fight between undercover misogynists and hyper-feminists

Let’s give a collective middle finger to the fitness and cosmetic industry that’s stealing our monies and self-confidence. Jasmine is breaking down the barrier to long-term health  — making it realistic, sustainable, and without pressure to be someone you’re not.

Let’s be so for real—your favorite artist? Character. That NBA bae you fantasize about? He’s an  illusion, mamas! In this episode, India and special guest Jerrelle (artist, Gemini, chaos magnet) get real about what it means to perform for survival—and how we’ve all been sold a lie.

✨ Here’s what we get into:

💋 Tupac, and your other father rappers are all Gemini

💋 How the music industry creates alter egos (and destroys them)

💋 Behind closed doors at NBA parties, fake relationships, & athletes as in-shape entertainers

💋 Why entertainers don’t owe us authenticity

💋 Why the internet is a simulation, and what that says about dating, gender roles, and celebrity worship

💋 Some unhinged hot takes about sex, cosmetic surgery, and the most compatible astrological signs

This episode dares to challenge the “authenticity” requirement of entertainers, and pushes us to accept them as what they are, actors, villains, and the heroes we need in our story.
