I'm Grieving But I Need Love Too!

When the weight of the world seems to rest squarely on your shoulders, how do you lift it off? That's what we get into with the exceptional Bootsy—a pro boxer turned musician with a penchant for shunning drama. Together, we unpack the art of living a drama-free life, despite the pain that life can deal out. Bootsy brings a robust conversation to the table, weaving through his musical influences and how Tupac's "Me Against the World" mirrors his own journey.

Grief is a beast that shapes us in ways we never anticipate, and during our talk, I share the personal haunt of losing over 15 loved ones. The toll on mental health is immeasurable, and Bootsy and I don't shy away from the tough stuff—discussing the importance of supportive listeners and the potential dangers of vulnerability. We also peel back the curtain on the balancing act of nurturing relationships while honoring our own mental space, a tightrope many know all too well.

Parenthood and dating—what a combo. Here, I get real about the judgments and obstacles single parents face on the dating scene, backed by Bootsy's insightful commentary. And because music is often the salve to life's wounds, we reflect on the way tunes from the likes of Joe Budden and the Lost Boys have both soothed and opened old scars, while also fueling our creative fires. Hang with us for this episode—it's an audio journey through the highs and lows of life's complex tapestry, with lessons and laughter along the way.
