On The Rocks with Ron’Zena

y’all, when I tell you i am utterly embarrassed from my screen time this week… there are no other words to express my disbelief. 

in todays episode, i address how my generation, gen-z, has turned the follow button into a standard, meaning when you meet someone new it is almost expected that you are suppose to connect with them on social media. 

likewise there’s this unspoken notion that when un-following someone it’s seen as a big f u. 

for this reason, i have a love / hate relationship with social media. and there are always reservations when deciding to follow or un-follow someone. listen along to hear my latest un-follow scandals and you be the judge to whether or not i am unhinged.

New Episodes Every Friday 

Good friends are hard to find no matter what age you are, so when you find them HOLD ON. 

In today's episode, Ron'Zena, sits down with her besties to have a candid conversation about the peace she's found since aligning herself with these women, Hana and Faith,  who shown her nothing but love, and support throughout her many seasons of life. 

There's a saying as old as show business that goes, "the show must go on".

In today's episode, I sit down with Kyle "The Worst" to spark a conversaion about how he is building a community around music and local artist.

What started as a hand-in-cheek stage name, "the worst", has now evolved into a full self-proclaimed concert series, known as The Worst Night.  As a rookie to the event coordinating space, Kyle, shares why he felt so strongly about giving local artist a platform to thrive, how collaboration (I WAS A COHOST) is key, and what is to come with future worst night productions. 

If you're interested in becoming a part of "The Worst Night Productions", or would like to follow Kyle's journey you can find him on Instagram @kyle.the.worst

For the past two years, I have struggled with applying action to my purpose and the hardest part of it all was being still in the process. 

When I say being still, I mean the unknowing. Not knowing who to direct questions to, how to get started or how to remain discipline once starting or what to do next. After a lot of trial an error, over time, I found there is no real answer on how other than to do. 

In this part on of my Life Lessons Series, I sit down with music producer / entrepreneur Ashley Booker, to have a candid conversation about finding one's purpose, what it takes to be successful and how we are already living in a metaverse. 

Uhhhhh the title says it all, need I say more? 

In today's episode, I address the elephant in the room: "how are you living at home at 25?", with the help of her mother and father... but mostly her mother, as she shares her story on why she moved back in, how a 6-month plan turned into two-years real quick, and some of the pros along with cons of living at home. 

With plans of moving, let's say in the near future, I joke along with my parents on the planning involved such as: finding a place, paying rent, and being responsible for myself.  

It's been fun and games living at home, but as my mother would say it's now time to --- grow up. 

New Episodes Every Friday. 

who am I? 

a simple question that can spark a great conversation, lead to forever friendships and have one feeling confident in their own skin, but what happens when you simply do not know how to answer. 

in today's episode, I ask myself this trivial question: who am I? 

seems self-explanatory, but the explanation comes in the form of a riddle as I talk about ageing, growing apart from friends, exploring new hobbies, and learning it is ok to be selfish with my time. 

new episodes every Friday.

lately, i have been feeling exhausted —spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. although this may be true, i have been hesitant to discuss the root of the problem, in fear of being deemed as “lazy” by older generations, because it stems from... you guessed it, working. 

nearly two years ago, i said goodbye to my  9-5 lifestyle and since then I have been working multiple part-time jobs to stay afloat. 

in todays episode, i discuss being overworked, underpaid and not valued in my previous career aspirations to her most current work glow up where I have found peace in a healthy work environment and value in working for a company who respects me not only as an employee, but more importantly a human being. 

as a kid, I often fantasized about how my life would be at 25. 

with dreams of being married, living in the city, and planning a family it’s safe to say this is not my currently reality.

in fact, none of the above is happening for me.  in todays episode, i talk about the reality of being 25,  going through the five stages of grief — due to my idealized version of my life,  and learning to accept my journey.  

special shout out to @eviewhy on her perspectives on birthdays.
