Be Well Sis: The Podcast

No Holes Barred: A Conversation with Mandii B


Listen Later

In this bold and honest conversation, Dr. Cassandre Dunbar is joined by the unapologetic and insightful Mandii B — co-host of the Decisions Decisions podcast and co-author of the new book No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto of Sexual Exploration and Power.

Together, they talk about everything from redefining intimacy and navigating pleasure without shame, to healing from past relationships and reclaiming ownership of our bodies and desires. Mandii shares the personal experiences that shaped her — including her evolving relationship with her mother, the power of therapy, and how New York City’s energy helped sharpen her self-awareness.

This episode is an open, necessary dialogue about womanhood, sexuality, and growth — delivered with candor, laughter, and plenty of truth.

Takeaways:

  • There’s a big difference between intimacy and sex — and we deserve both.
  • Healing is messy and doesn’t happen on anyone’s timeline but yours.
  • Therapy is a tool, not a weakness.
  • Your story — no matter how complicated — has value and power.
  • You’re allowed to want more: in love, in your body, and in your life.

Guest Spotlight: Mandii B has become one of the most trusted voices on women’s empowerment, sexual liberation, and body positivity. She simultaneously has her finger on the pulse of “the”

culture and all things pop culture, music, and business. Before becoming a full-time

podcaster and entrepreneur, Mandii worked as a tax accountant for a Big Four firm after

receiving a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Business and Marketing. With much to say, Mandii is the co-host and creator of the wildly popular sex-positive, TOP 50-ranking Decisions, Decisions on Black Effect Network on iHeartMedia.
