Somewhere between motherhood, relationships, work, responsibilities, and taking care of everybody else… when did you stop being YOU?

This week, Montavia joins Tae on Perspectives Unfiltered for an honest conversation about rediscovering yourself, starting over in your 30s, motherhood, boundaries, relationships, healing, career, confidence, and getting your spark back.

They get into what it means to evolve when your life doesn’t look the way you thought it would, the guilt that can come with choosing yourself, dating and relationships in a new season, and learning that starting over doesn’t necessarily mean you failed.

If you’ve ever had a season where you looked at yourself and thought, “Girl… where did YOU go?”pull up a chair.

Perspectives Unfiltered...Where every story has a side, and every side has a perspective.

James Trae Watkins joins me on Perspectives Unfiltered for a conversation about the person underneath everything we’re known for.

We get into identity, fatherhood, the messages Black boys receive about themselves, masculinity and vulnerability, co-parenting, relationships, purpose, faith, and learning when it’s time to stop pushing and allow yourself to be redirected.

James also breaks down my CliftonStrengths results in real time and I purposely didn’t research a damn thing beforehand because I wanted my reaction to be real. We talk about what those strengths say about me and how understanding our strengths can change the way we communicate, parent, lead, and navigate relationships.

We also talk about his work with GoodGangs and N-Ward Solutions, his experience running for City Council, and what he’s still learning about himself in this season of his life.

It’s a conversation about fatherhood. Manhood. Purpose. Faith. But more than anything, it’s about identity.

Tootie pulled up a chair this week, and baby… we talked about EVERYTHING. 😂

We’re getting to know the woman behind the nickname from her journey into cosmetology and esthetics to some hilarious salon confessions, beauty and business, dating red flags, confidence, what women need to stop settling for, and what’s next for her.

We also slow things down for a more personal conversation about losing her mom, grief, and how that experience changed the way she looks at life.

It’s funny, it’s personal, it’s girl talk, and of course… it’s unfiltered.

In this episode of Perspectives Unfiltered, Tay sits down with Kris for an open conversation about the story behind High Hands Hemma, building a brand from the ground up, navigating relationships, and staying consistent when nothing is handed to you.

They talk about creativity, personal growth, how your environment can shape your journey, and Kris also takes time to clear the air on some of the rumors and assumptions people have made about him.

This is a real, honest conversation about hustle, identity, and creating your own lane.

Your child turning 18 is a milestone that changes more than just their life it changes yours too. In this episode of Perspectives Unfiltered, I’m sharing what it felt like to watch my daughter graduate high school, the emotions that came with letting go, and the lessons I hope every parent hears before this season arrives.

We also talk about the inspiration behind my book, The Talk I Wish I Had at 18, and why I felt called to write it for young adults stepping into adulthood.

If you’re navigating this season as a parent, this conversation is for you.

What if healing isn’t just about your body?

Can Pilates help you heal mentally and emotionally too?

In this episode of Perspectives Unfiltered, I’m joined by Tiara Toler, founder of Mat & Mind, for an honest conversation about Pilates, wellness, self-care, and what it really means to heal from the inside out.

Together, we discuss:

✨ The connection between your mind and body

✨ Why slowing down is sometimes the healthiest thing you can do

✨ Letting go of guilt when you choose yourself

✨ Building sustainable wellness habits instead of chasing perfection

✨ How healing goes far beyond physical fitness

This isn’t just a conversation about exercise it’s about becoming the healthiest version of yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically.

If you’ve been pouring into everyone else while neglecting yourself, this conversation is for you.

Y’all…this episode is different. Over the last year, my life has changed in ways I never expected. I’ve been navigating marriage, motherhood, working two jobs, rebuilding my life, and trying not to lose myself in the middle of it all. A lot of people have been asking why I’ve been “outside” more lately. Honestly, this episode isn’t really about being outside. It’s about me rebuilding and rediscovering who I am after life changed.And honestly…It’s one of the most personal conversations I’ve had on this podcast.If you’ve ever felt like life forced you to start over, I hope this episode reminds you that rebuilding doesn’t mean you’ve failed it means you’re still growing.

I wasn’t sure if I was ready to record this… but I knew I needed to be honest about what this season has really been like. Losing my grandfather has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. And truthfully… I’m still in it.

In this episode, I’m not breaking down what grief feels like step by step. I’m sharing what it’s looked like for me to keep going… to keep showing up… even while grieving.

This is real life. Unfiltered.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The moment everything changed and how I processed it

• What it’s been like trying to function through grief

• The unexpected waves that come and go

• Choosing not to let grief consume me or be used against me

If you’ve ever had to keep going while hurting… this is for you.

In this solo episode of Perspectives Unfiltered, LaShante dives into the part of growth that people rarely talk about the loneliness that can come with elevation.

When God begins shifting your life, sometimes the first thing that changes isn’t your bank account, your opportunities, or your success… it’s your circle. Conversations feel different, connections shift, and suddenly the spaces that once felt like home don’t fit the same anymore.

In this episode, we talk about what it really feels like to outgrow certain environments, and to trust God through seasons where everything around you looks the same but you feel completely different inside.

If you’ve ever felt like you were losing people while trying to become a better version of yourself, this conversation will remind you that you’re not broken you’re transitioning.

Sometimes elevation feels like isolation at first… but eventually it becomes alignment.
