Reflect and Grow With Von Mychael

This week on Reflect and Grow, we’re talking about why your coworkers probably aren’t your real friends no matter how much time you spend with them.

Plus, an “I Am Not a Therapist, But I Have an Opinion” segment, celebrity headlines, and our “Or Nah” game. #ReflectAndGrow #Coworkers #WorkplaceAdvice #MentalHealthMatters #RealTalk

Plus, an “I Am Not a Therapist, But I Have an Opinion” segment, celebrity headlines, and our “Or Nah” game. #ReflectAndGrow #Ghosting #MentalHealthMatters #DatingAdvice #RealTalk

This week on Reflect and Grow, we’re going deep on insecurities — how we mask them, why avoiding them makes them worse, and what it actually looks like to face them head on.

We talk about arrogance, comparison, and avoidance as the three ways people mask insecurity, chasing validation vs. chasing peace, being okay with being “the villain” in someone else’s story, and how childhood teasing can follow you for decades. Plus real Reddit stories on insecurity in relationships and attachment styles, a celebrity segment covering Jenna Ortega, Kim Kardashian, Billie Eilish, and Beyoncé, and a stacked “facing it or avoiding it” segment with the chat.

If you’ve ever run from something uncomfortable instead of sitting with it — this one’s for you.

This week on Reflect and Grow, licensed therapist Shala is back to help us break down the real difference between processing and gossiping — because a lot of us confuse the two more than we realize.

We talk about picking the wrong person to vent to, telling personal business to work “friends” who turn out not to be friends, testing people to see if they can hold water, and why intention is the real dividing line between healthy processing and gossip. Plus real Reddit stories on venting to mutual friends, workplace gossip and boss favoritism, a celebrity segment covering Pastor Jamal Bryant and Remy Ma, and a stacked “processing or gossiping” segment with the chat.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you were venting or actually gossiping — this one’s for you.

This week on Reflect and Grow, we’re talking disrespect — what actually deserves a reaction, what doesn’t, and why pride will have you making decisions you’ll regret.

We talk about learning to not take things personally, responding to unintentional disrespect vs. intentional disrespect, gossip and workplace betrayal, non-Black people using the n-word, and the difference between conquering your pride and actually protecting your peace. Plus a stacked celebrity segment covering hip-hop beef boundaries (38 Spesh, Tekashi 69, Mandy B and Joe Budden), and a chaotic “disrespectful or nah” segment that gets into chargers, haircuts, and backhanded compliments.

If you’ve ever felt disrespected and had to talk yourself out of reacting — this one’s for you.

This week on Reflect and Grow, we’re breaking down boundaries — what they actually are, why so many people struggle to set them, and how “boundaries” has become a buzzword people use to avoid accountability while still demanding everything from everyone else.

We talk about the difference between setting a boundary and pushing people away, whether you owe people an explanation, boundaries with parents and in-laws, saying no to work calls after hours, and break down real Reddit stories on family boundaries, codependent friendships, and in-laws who won’t respect your space. Plus a celebrity segment covering Hannibal Buress, Kanye and Pete Davidson, and the Drake/DJ Khaled fallout, and a stacked “healthy boundary or nah” segment with the chat.

If you’ve ever set a boundary the right way and still gotten cut off for it — this one’s for you.
