Q&A: From Newsroom Drama to Therapy Sessions
In this special Q&A episode of Awf The Record, Jeannette and Mona are putting the scripts down and pulling the curtain back. You asked, so they answered - nothing is off limits.
From what inspired them to launch the podcast, to how their friendship has shifted in the spotlight, this conversation is full of raw reflections, inside jokes, and unfiltered truth. They talk about balancing ambition with burnout, navigating career crossroads, and the toll the news cycle takes on mental health especially as Black women in the media.
It’s part real talk, part behind-the-scenes, and 100% group chat energy.
If you’ve ever wondered what goes on when the cameras are off or what it really takes to build something with your best friend, this one’s for you!
KEY POINTS
- How has our friendship evolved through ATR?
- Times the friendship was tested…
- A must-do: podcast with your bestie?
- Key similarities: best friend and biz partner?
- Ways to stay grounded
- The first thing we’d do if we switched lives
- Worst fashion or beauty fail (on cam)
- Mental health 101 as TV personalities
- Public’s perception about us that isn’t a FACT
- Wish for each other this 2025
QUOTES
“When something is not going as planned — and that's happened a lot of times with this podcast — we've kind of been always on the same page.” – Jeannette Reyes
“We would give you guys a headline, sitting on the anchor desk, and then we would get off and be in the group chat — just discussing all types of news stories and conversations that are more online than you would see in your morning headlines.” – Mona Kosar Abdi
