Can men and women REALLY be just friends, or is somebody always secretly interested? 👀😂

This week on Life, Unfiltered & Rooted, Crystal and Shakela are tackling one of the most debated relationship questions: Can opposite-sex friendships truly be platonic?

We're getting into friendship boundaries, jealousy, hidden intentions, and how things change when you're in a relationship. Is having a best friend of the opposite sex harmless, or are some friendships just a little TOO friendly? 👀

And let's be real… does your answer change when it's YOUR partner who has that friend? 🤣

Grab your drink and get comfortable because we're getting into ALL of it!

We want to hear from you! Would you be comfortable with your partner having a best friend of the opposite sex? Let us know in the comments or join the conversation on Instagram!

Are we actually broke… or have we just gotten a little too comfortable with an expensive lifestyle? 👀💸

This week, we’re pouring the wine 🍷 and talking about the REAL cost of adulting—from groceries and eating out to beauty, shopping, kids, vacations, and all those little “I deserve it” purchases that somehow add up.

We get into lifestyle creep, spending priorities, looking good being expensive, and whether making more money has actually made life feel more affordable.

Then we put ourselves to the test with Broke or Bougie—because what one person calls unnecessary, somebody else considers a non-negotiable. 😂

So what’s really going on: Is everything just expensive AF…or are we the expensive ones?

Grab your wine and listen in. 🍷

Parenting will have you correcting your child and then realizing… wait, is this about them or is this about ME? 😭

This week on Life, Unfiltered & Rooted, Crystal and Shakela get real about raising children while also confronting the way we were raised. We’re talking about the things we’re choosing to keep, the cycles we’re determined to break, and those moments when you realize motherhood is healing parts of you that you didn’t even know needed healing.

We get into discipline, giving our kids things we didn’t have, navigating different parenting styles, and the constant question: Are we raising our children—or reparenting ourselves along the way?

Plus, we play Keep It, Change It, Leave It Behind, get into our Mess of the Week and Advice of the Week, and sip on this week’s Drink of the Week: Tropical Kiss 🍹💋

This one is for the moms trying to raise good humans without losing themselves in the process.

Friendships in your 30s hit different—and if you want to keep them, you have to be intentional. 💕This week on Life, Unfiltered & Rooted, we're talking about adult friendships and what it really takes to stay connected when everybody has careers, relationships, kids, responsibilities, goals, and their own lives to manage.How often should friends actually talk? Does being busy excuse not showing up? Can you go months without talking and still consider someone a close friend? And at this stage of life, how much intentional effort should we expect from the people we call our friends?Then things get interesting with Would You Want to Know? 👀 We put ourselves through some messy hypotheticals before getting into an even bigger question:Are we actually happy…or have we just gotten really good at functioning?Plus, you already know we had to get into Mess of the Week and close it out with some Advice of the Week.🥤 Drink of the Week: 7 Brew💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What has getting older taught you about maintaining friendships?Real conversations.

Nobody taught us how to manage money… but somehow we were expected to just KNOW. 😭💸In Season 3, Episode 3 of **Life, Unfiltered & Rooted**, we’re getting into **financial trauma, financial intelligence, and the money decisions we wish we could go back and do differently.**We talk about how the way we grew up shaped our relationship with money, the lessons adulthood taught us the hard way, and what we’re trying to do differently now.But y’all know we can’t stay serious for too long. 😂We also put our brains to the test with **Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?** and, of course, get into a little **Mess of the Week** because there is ALWAYS something to discuss.

Nobody saw this one coming. 👀 Shakela is ENGAGED—and yes, we know there are questions. 😂

This episode, we’re putting the rumors to rest and getting into the real story behind this new chapter. Shakela opens up about how her past experiences with love shaped her, what changed, and how she learned to recognize and accept genuine love and happiness.

We also talk about living life to the fullest, letting go of other people’s expectations, and allowing yourself to embrace something good—even when it doesn’t happen the way everyone expected.

It’s love, growth, a little tea, and a whole lot of Life, Unfiltered & Rooted. 🤎

Season 3 is officially here — and we’re kicking it off from the middle of the ocean! 🚢🥂

Denesha joins us as we talk about why we keep choosing cruises, why cruising may not be as expensive as people think, and the importance of traveling, creating memories, and experiencing life — even with kids in tow.

We’re talking cruise vs. resort, traveling as moms, making experiences a priority, and why sometimes you just have to stop waiting and TAKE THE TRIP.

Plus, we want to know: do y’all want the receipts? 👀💰

If you want a full breakdown of what we actually spent on our 7-day cruise — from the cruise itself to flights, hotels, excursions and more — let us know!

Welcome to Season 3 of Life, Unfiltered & Rooted. 🤎🌱
