Fe’s battling allergies so bad she’s got people side-eyeing her like she’s Patient Zero, and the ladies are trying to pack for their big trip without losing their minds. Did we mention there’s a Bridgerton-themed New Year’s Eve party on the table? Yep, that’s happening—ruffles optional.

From Delta lounge snack hoarding to side-eyeing Jay-Z allegations, this episode is a mix of laughs, hot takes, and travel chaos. Plus, Fe reveals her secret weapon for surviving the airport and Shay has thoughts about Beyoncé’s life choices (hint: where’s the fun, sis?). Tune in for a rollercoaster ride of real talk, airline drama, and figuring out how to live your best Black girl life abroad.

This week on Real Life Sht*, Fe confesses to screening family calls to protect her peace. They both agree: this year, Thanksgiving was giving “leave me alone,” and they loved every second of it. Fe indulged in lobster mac and cheese, while Shayla said no to holiday invites and yes to a giant sub—proving that Thanksgiving doesn’t always require a full house and a turkey.

The duo dives into Wicked, laughing at green babies and dissecting the drama between witches like it’s a family reunion fight. Shay sets up her first Christmas tree in years, sparking a hilarious debate over whether Christmas music is essential or overrated (spoiler: Shay thinks skipping Mariah makes you a terrorist).

Things get real when they discuss whether you should weigh yourself every day—or ever. Shayla goes full Scorpio with her all-or-nothing approach, while Fe drops gems about why she stays scale-obsessed (and still fitting into her high school jeans). Sprinkle in some fitness accountability, a Black Friday scale debate, and a toxicologist’s warning about why we’re all basically 50% plastic, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts hilarious and eye-opening.

They wrap up with plans for their big Christmas trip to Madrid and talk packing strategies—carry-on vs. full suitcase showdown.

Grab your plate and pull up a chair because this week, Felicia and Shayla are serving up laughs hotter than a fresh pan of mac and cheese. Felicia spills the tea on her Every Woman's Marathon experience, complete with pampered porta-potties, glittery runners, and—wait for it—sweaty men crashing the women-only event like uninvited guests at a cookout. (Y’all can’t even let us have this?!)

Meanwhile, Shayla gears up for her first-ever hip-hop concert, and the two debate everything from Kendrick Lamar’s album to Thanksgiving food hierarchy (spoiler: casseroles didn’t make the cut). Throw in tips for sneaking leftovers, a side of unsolicited period memories, and their plan to dodge family drama this Thanksgiving, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a good time.

This episode is that convo you’ve been waiting to have with your HONEST homegirls who keep it real, but on a podcast. Trump’s back (yes, again), Kamala’s campaign fell apart, and we’re here give our versions of what happened. If you’re tired of cable news mess and need the real, unfiltered lowdown from two Black women who actually live this stuff, this episode is for you.

We dive into the Dems’ biggest fumbles, why we think they lost the plot (and the voters), and why your pocketbook cares more about the economy than “woke” politics. It’s raw, it’s honest, and we’re calling out everyone—from Joe Biden’s fumbling to Kamala’s disappearing act. You’ll laugh, you might cringe, but you’ll definitely be nodding along like, “Yup, they’re saying what I’ve been thinking.”

Things get real on Episode 9. We're diving deep into election season—ballots, candidates, and the wild chaos that is American democracy. Both of us voted early and one of us dropped a political bombshell: we didn’t BOTH vote for Kamala. 😳 Yup! That's not a typo. Pssst... Black people police - A Black woman broke ranks, and we’re talking about it. What happens when the heart says one thing, but the ballot says another? From personal experiences with law enforcement to the battle between law and order vs. reform, we’re keeping it honest and unfiltered.

These days, it seems like every conversation eventually turns into a race debate. From who’s getting the promotion to who’s just a DEI hire. Suddenly everything’s a social justice issue. In this episode, Shay and Fe dive into the hilarious (and sometimes ridiculous) reality of when race is a real factor and when, honestly, it’s just an excuse.

Ever felt like you're the only Black girl in a room full of white people and they still won’t say “Black”? Yep, we’ve been there. Is PC culture making things better or just making everyone too scared to talk? We’re breaking it all down! When it comes to race why being handled with kid gloves isn’t doing anybody any favors.

Plus, we dig into why your Black business needs to be more than just “Black-owned”—it needs to be well run, and YOU need to be ready to actually DO business.

Happy Monday, fam! We’re here to kick off a brand new week with some real-life shyt, and this time, we're recording on a Monday—because life be lifing, and Sundays just weren't enough. Fe ran her first Black AF marathon in ATL, complete with black bands, majorettes, and a whole lot of community love. But guess what? Her foot didn’t survive as smoothly as she did—so we're sending it to therapy!

Meanwhile, Shay talks about big work transitions and how much emotional energy goes into saying goodbye to a job—even when you’re the one who chose to leave. Ever feel like leaving a job is like a breakup? Yeah, that’s where we’re at. Oh, and did we mention how expensive kids are? Spoiler: they’re coming in at a cool $300K.

Listen in as we talk about the art of keeping in touch with friends, navigating goodbyes, and why sometimes, it’s okay to just go on that 24-hour road trip to hug the people you love.

Surprise! We blinked, and suddenly it's episode 6. This week, Shay and Fe are up early (way too early) for some real-life reflection. We kick off with a little fitness talk, but the heart of this episode is all about navigating the complex, often toxic world of the entertainment industry as women.

From the latest catalyst—Diddy's fallout—to the deeper issues of power dynamics, exploitation, and the uphill battles women face in this male-dominated space. We’re unpacking how the system keeps so many stuck. Whether it's leveraging beauty for success or the pressure to stay silent in a room full of "industry giants," we’re keeping it real about what it takes to survive and thrive in a culture that was never built for us.
