Schoolin Life Podcast

On this week’s episode, we talk protecting our rep. Some of the best advice I ever received was to remember that many of the decisions about my career would happen when I wasn’t in the room, meaning what people say about you when you are not in the room, matters as much or sometimes more, than what you say for yourself when you’re present. Knowing, managing, and protecting your rep are the most powerful actions you can take for your career advancement. Listen as Ashley and Marcy discuss their reputations, what they do to manage them, and how they’ve wielded their reps for personal and career successes.

On this week’s episode, we talk the who, what, and why of therapy. Therapy is more than an old white man wearing glasses on the end of his nose, asking you to relive the traumas of your childhood. And it’s not a cure-all to address every bad thing that has ever happened to you. Therapy is the process of working with a licensed therapist to develop positive thinking and coping skills, or to treat mental health issues. Listen as Marcy, our very own licensed clinical psychologist, explains what therapy is, how to know when you need it, and how to find and pay for it. To learn about getting the most out of your relationship with your therapist, whether you go every week or as you are considering the benefits of therapy, this week’s episode is for you.

On this week’s episode, we talk performing for others. If we’re being honest, we’ve all played a game or two. The good girl, the strong friend, the devoted wife, the gay best friend—these roles are familiar and may be comfortable for us to step into, in order to maintain important relationships. Nothing is wrong with playing the part, per say, but it’s important not to let others typecast you based on their needs or expectations. The struggle comes when others are disappointed that you aren’t being the person they need, and you have to decide if the role should become larger than your true personality. Listen as we talk about the games people play and how to avoid getting played while Schoolin Life.

On this week’s episode, we talk Black swag. While we know the Black experience is no monolith, there are shared histories and practices among Black folks that make our character special. The way we walk, the way we talk, the way we grew up, and the shared pains, joys, fears, and passions that we have for ourselves and our communities, culminates in a swag that is unmatched. Beyoncé reminds us and exemplifies this swag in her Netflix documentary, “Homecoming,” which is a celebration of one of the homes of Black swag, the HBCU collegiate experience. Listen as we talk about the history, legacy, and future of Black swag—how we learned it, how we keep it, and how we anticipate its evolution for our future.

On this week’s episode, we talk knowing when to go. Both in life and love, people’s first reaction after getting out of a particularly bad situation is often, “I only wish I would have left sooner.” Knowing when to walk away is a nuanced issue based on power, privilege, emotional connection, and feasibility. Finding the courage and resources necessary to leave is a challenge for everyone at some point in their life. Listen as we discuss how to decide when to stay or when to go, and we’ll evaluate what it means to the individual who walks away.

On this week’s episode, we talk navigating conflict in life and love. One of the key markers of “adulting” is developing the skills to avoid or to make it through disagreements in a way that moves both parties to a respectful resolution. When you’re grown, you can’t just pout until you get your way. You’ve actually got to identify problems, have tough conversations, and handle controversy, in order to enjoy meaningful relationships. There are particular strategies for having and surviving these conversations with grit and grace, so listen up as we share the real of navigating conflict.   Substitute: Kemi Ajibare @styledbykemi on Instagram Visit Styledbykemi.com   All Black Everything: Marcy recaps the Millennium Tour

On this week’s episode, we talk speaking out and we salute women who inspire us to make ourselves heard. Speak only when spoken to. Be seen and not heard. These are the messages that were learned in childhood and that continue to challenge women. It often seems like the world would rather we stay quiet. But we have a chance to seize the current shift in society, politics, and industry, speaking up with confidence to be heard, valued, and recognized. Listen as we salute women who are pushing aside the notion that the female perspective has a lesser impact and who are using their voices to amplify messages that matter.
