Self Podcast

OMG WE'RE BACK! Wow, we can't believe it's been almost a year since we've done this. Some thaaangs have changed since then, but we cover it ALL in this episode!

This episode is all about catching up, sharing where we are now and talking about how we're evolving The Self to better reflect who we are today. We also go deep into our stories through interviewing each other. We hope that you might be able to pull some stuff that resonates with you as well. 

We thank EVERYONE who has reached out to us about pursuing The Self further. It's been in our mind since the end of 2017 and the inspiration we've received from our friends galvanized us to do this again. We hope you all like it!

It's another episode The Self Podcast and this week we're joined by Jordan's friend, SaQuoira Chiles! 

She came to visit for his birthday and we knew we had to have her on the show. She offers us unique insight into a topic that's not often discussed or represented authentically - motherhood. We also talk about relationships, dating, adulting and of course, her beautiful creation. It's an episode full of laughs, a little pettiness and a lot of wisdom. We hope you enjoy listening to this Queen's story as much as we did.

Hi Everyone! Welcome back to Episode 8 of the Self Podcast. We both thought a lot about a title for this episode and decided that “Unpacking” summed up our discussion the best. This week, we wanted to take some time to process everything that has been happening in our country lately. It has felt like the past two weeks have been filled with events that have been hard for us to process individually. From the Tragedy in Las Vegas to it being National Mental Health Day, we felt like it was only right to allow ourselves the time to “unpack” the effect these events have had on us. We talk about National Coming Out Day, Indigenous People’s Day, Trump’s handling of the Hurricane in Puerto Rico, and more.

We think this above all this episode represents the importance of giving yourself the time and space to process things. It can all become overwhelming and overstimulating if you don’t properly decompress.

If any of what we cover in the Podcast sparked something inside of you, please reach out to us on Social Media, or send us an email at [email protected]. Thank you so much for listening and remember you can always tune in and subscribe on iTunes and GooglePlay!

Hey guys, welcome back to another week of the Self Podcast! In this episode, we dissect the idea of second-guessing yourself. Our discussion ranges from cancelling plans we say yes to, rethinking our wardrobe choices & self-image, as well as doubting ourselves in our work. We know that these topics are all relate-able, so don't feel alone in these struggles - we got them too!

Hello Everyone and Welcome back to Season 2 Episode 2 of the Self Podcast. 

In this episode we talk with Keith White, an athlete and aspiring personal trainer, about what it is like navigating the world as a person of mixed ethnicities.  We each share our unique perspectives and experiences of growing up with both a "white" and "black side," and how it has shaped us into who we are today.  We talk about microagressions, exoticism, cultural appropriation and how we strive to break free of it all to gain empowerment.  We hope you enjoy this episode. We love all comments and hope you will join us next time!

Hey Fam,

We are back (and with a new look)! These past couple months have been a little quiet, but we're proud to be back as college graduates! Essentially, our hiatus had a positive outcome. With degrees in hand, we are ready for the next adventure and returning to the Self Podcast is one of them. These last two weeks, post-grad, have prompted us to reflect on our experiences, which led us to this week's episode about post-grad life. With our close friend, Sylvana Uribe, we discuss our first days, last days, pressures and goals. So take a listen and, as always, if you have any topics you'd like to cover, shoot us an email at [email protected]
