TWERK SUMTHN!: when you're building a brand and want to be taken seriously but you like to drink wine + twerk every now and again, how do you find the balance?

#RMOH host, joi, chats with her girls, j + akilah, about the constant tug-of-war between building a business + representing your brand well but also showing up authentically without feeling like you have to hide parts of yourself in the name of "professionalism." in a world where people want a sneak peek, behind the scenes look at everyone and everything, how much sharing is too much? how do you deal when you don't fit into the box of who people think you are simply because of what you do? how would you feel if you saw your spiritual healer, therapist or realtor on the gram turnin' up for the weekend? in this conversation we share stories + insights about how we navigate these situations plus what to do when someone "acts up" in your social media comments and what happens when someone threatens to "expose" you as a fraud. all

WHAT A MIGHTY GOOD MAN: when the expectations are high and the preparation is nil, how do our men + boys define their identity and show up authentically?

#RMOH host, joi, talks with global men's empowerment coach, juvan langford, about his journey to redefining manhood after losing his father to leukemia at a young age and watching his mother struggle with substance abuse as a result of the loss. raised by his grandmother, the eldest and only boy of five siblings, juvan shares how being surrounded by strong feminine energy and feeling like "one of the girls" played a part in arriving at the place where vulnerability - honoring and sharing his emotions - is earning him trips around the world and paying his bills.

LEVELING UP: when taking a leap a faith feels like betraying your identity + abandoning a childhood dream.

for the first time since the launch of this podcast, there is no guest. it's just me, joi, on the 3 year anniversary of the grand opening of EAT.SLEEP.SWEAT., my fitness studio. on this episode, i share the testimony of my entrepreneurial journey; lessons learned, truths revealed, lives changed. i talk about how personal experiences impacted professional decisions and the not-so-glamourous side of being self-employed that we don't always see on social media. my hope is that, in sharing my story, i can encourage + inspire people on their own journey to following their dreams and ultimately, taking the leap of faith that's going to give them permission to LEVEL UP!
