This week on Rated M Cause We MF Grown, Tierra Laray and Shekiya sit down for an honest and unfiltered conversation about daddy issues, sibling relationships, family dynamics, dating choices, and how our upbringing shapes the partners we choose. If you enjoy podcasts about dating advice, millennial relationships, sex conversations, and real talk about healing and family, this episode is definitely for you.

Joining the kickback is Tierra’s biological sister, Jamiauna, and the sisters get real about their childhood experiences, how parents influence the way we date, and why families should create a safe space to have honest conversations about sex, relationships, and emotional healing.

The conversation dives into sibling dynamics, generational perspectives, and how trauma can sometimes show up in adult conversations and relationships. What starts as a family conversation slowly turns into a little bit of trauma dumping — but in the most honest and relatable way.

Jamiauna also shares a wild dating horror story, and of course Tierra blesses the Grown Folk with the Strain of the Week for the smokers in the community.

If you like podcasts that mix dating stories, relationship discussions, family conversations, humor, and real life experiences, then welcome to the kickback.

If this episode made you laugh, made you think, made you want to text your friend and tell them to listen to this shit — then do me a favor…

Heeeey Grown Folk!!

Episode 50 of Rated M Cause We MF Grown is a special one!! It's Tierra Laray’s birthday episode.

In this solo milestone episode, Tierra celebrates hitting 50 episodes while reflecting on what age, growth, and experience have taught her along the way. From lessons learned about life, podcasting, and boundaries, this episode exudes growth and the glo up!

Tierra Laray also gets into some hilarious birthday pet peeves, gives some well-deserved flowers to all the Pisces (because it is Pisces season after all), and reads a listener-submitted dating horror story that proves once again… the streets are still wild.

The episode also features the High Strain of the Week and a High Thought to close things out with a little perspective and reflection.

It’s funny, real, a little chaotic, and the perfect way to celebrate Episode 50.

Happy birthday to Tierra Laray… and cheers to 50 more episodes of the podcast.

No Judgement Just Vibes

Cause Biiiiiiiish We MF Grown

Heeeeey Grown Folks!

This week Grown Convo Tierra Laray and Shekiya slid straight into the mess floating around the entertainment world. The drama between T.I. and 50 Cent, Tierra Laray reaction to Chrisean Rock 's Faceoff with Zenith Zion and Tierra Laray predicts that Chrisean is getting rocked in her first pro boxing match. The ladies discuss the GloRilla vs BroRilla family drama because baby… why are we fighting relatives AND strangers online? 😩

They also got into something a little deeper ... elitism in the Black community. The subtle (and not so subtle) ways we judge, separate, and categorize each other based on money, lifestyle, and image.

Then of course… we had to bring it back to Rated M territory.
Let’s talk kinks, fetishes, and the bag.
What would you try? What’s absolutely off-limits? And at what point does the money just NOT outweigh the “nah, I can’t do this” feeling?

For the Grown Convo, we unpacked being hard to love.
Not in a self-deprecating way, but in a real, honest, grown-ass accountability way. The habits, traits, and emotional patterns that can make dating you a challenge.

And because y’all love when life humbles us… Tierra Laray dropped a throwback dating horror story that proves bad decisions and wild situations are truly timeless.

Plus — we’re introducing something new in the High Thought Segment 👀
✨ Strain of the Week + the snacks & drinks that pair with it
Because elevation deserves a proper vibe.

🎙️ Episode: We MF Parents Pt. 2 | Parenting, Co-Parenting, Discipline & Healing Childhood Trauma

Heeey Grown Folk... Parenting isn’t for the weak and in this episode of Rated M Cause We MF Grown, we get real about what raising kids actually looks like behind closed doors. Joined by special guests Courtney and Keon, we dive into honest conversations about modern parenting, discipline styles, co-parenting challenges, and the emotional trauma tied to single parenthood.

We discuss letting go of the need to control every aspect of your child’s life, how your own upbringing and childhood trauma influence your parenting choices, and the balance between guiding your kids and allowing them to become their own people.

And because this is Rated M Cause We MF Grown, we also break the taboo around parents being sexual beings. Being a parent doesn’t mean you stop being human, sensual, or deserving of pleasure — and we talk openly about how to hold space for both.

This episode is for parents navigating healing while raising children, co-parents trying to do better, and adults who want to parent with intention, honesty, and self-awareness.

Tune in next week for Part 2 where we are talking more shit cause Biiiiiiiish We MF Grown!!!

Heeeeey Grown Folk! In Episode 45 of Rated M Cause We MF Grown, we break down trauma dumping, why people confuse it with vulnerability, and how oversharing in relationships can push people away instead of building real connection.

We also read an advice letter centered on consent and talk about the importance of enthusiastic consent in dating, intimacy, and relationships — especially when emotional and sexual boundaries are involved.

Plus, we get into the idea of meet-and-greet first dates at the library as a low-pressure, public way to get to know someone without emotional or physical expectations.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What trauma dumping actually is

• Trauma dumping vs. emotional honesty

• Why trauma dumping in dating is a major red flag

• How trauma dumping creates emotional imbalance

• Why emotional boundaries matter

• What enthusiastic consent really means

• Why consent should be clear, mutual, and ongoing

• Safer, intentional first-date ideas like library meet-and-greets

This episode is for grown folks who are healing, dating, and learning how to communicate without emotionally or physically crossing boundaries.

CAUSE BIIIIIIISSSSSHHH WE MF GROWN

Heeeey Grown Folk!! This week we’re talking survival tactics… because being grown means knowing your turn up!!!

We put the listeners on to our favorite hangover prevention methods (because let’s be honest — once the hangover hits, it’s already too damn late).

Then we got into the phases women go through each month surrounding menstruation — follicular, ovulatory, luteal, all of it — and why some weeks we’re social butterflies and other weeks we want to fight, cry, and hibernate all before noon. If you’ve been wondering why your energy, libido, cravings, and attitude switch up every few days… this episode is your roadmap.

And as always, the Dating Horror Story did what it needed to do and the High Thought was a whole doozy.

HEEEY GROWN FOLK!!! In this week’s episode, Tierra Laray and Shekiya break down the Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Flop response especially when it comes to dating, and relationships.

They also talk about what it really feels like when your 40s are loading (because YES, Shekiya is entering her Big 4-0 era this year 👀), so Tierra Laray made sure to let her know about perimenopause, and how it effects women in their Mid 30s

The ladies laughed, hit their blunts, and talked their shit so make sure you tune in to this week's Grown Convo

🚫 NO CHURCH EARS.
🚫 No Judgment… Just Vibes.

#WeMFGrown

Heeeey Grown Folk!! It’s the first episode of the new year and baby… we easing in, but we still talking our shit.

In this episode, Tierra Laray and Shekiya kick off 2026 by breaking down what we left ALL THE WAY in 2025 — bad habits, weak mindsets, and men with absolutely no game. Because why are y’all still struggling with conversation in a grown ass era?

Tierra also shares a humbling gym moment after getting completely outworked by an older lady who clearly did not come to play, reminding us that discipline will always outshine excuses, and goes on a yapper tangent about her perfect first date.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Rated M episode without a High Thought that takes a left turn, makes too much sense, and somehow ties it all together in the most Shekiya way possible.
