Welcome to the hot mess, hilarious, and heartfelt chaos that is The Unfiltered Mess! In our very first episode, we’re laying it all out—no filters, no fluff. Just two real people (yep, that’s us—Alexandria and Shannon) talking about how a divorced Black mama and a white dad with a sense of humor somehow found each other, fell in love, and built a perfectly imperfect blended family of seven.

We’re diving into:

• How we met (spoiler: it wasn’t all sunshine and smooth moves)
• Why this podcast needed to happen
• What you can expect every week (spoiler #2: a lot of laughs and probably some oversharing)
• And how we’re navigating this wild ride of love, healing, parenting, and partnership—with a side of sarcasm and scented wax.

So grab your coffee (or wine—no judgment here), and get comfy. Let’s get messy.
