  • For Your Pride
    Be who you are, for your PRIDE!” 🏳️‍🌈
    Happy Pride Month to my listeners of the LGBTQ community!
    In episode 2, I had the opportunity to sit down with Tinaya and Zeus‬ to discuss the highs and lows of being a part of their community.
    This is yet another topic that folks tend to tip-toe around but I appreciate them both for shedding light and educating me on this topic.
    Coming out to family and friends may be so hard to do.
    However, I would like to give them their flowers for bravery!💐
    I hope this episode creates a sense of open-mindedness and assists with those struggling with acceptance. You can watch the episode on the pod's YouTube channel!!

  • Standards & Non-Negotiables

    And just like that I’m back with Season 3!(with some visuals too🤭)

    As you may know, we’re on an ongoing self-care and healing journey. We’ve all been down bad and had to find healthy ways to cope with the curveballs life throws our way.

    We even had to move differently in order to retrieve better results.

    Personally, I had to start by relearning standards and non-negotiables in order to set the precedent for the way I want to be treated.
    I figured Tiffany Celeste would be the perfect guest for this episode! She is a content creator and she helps women practice real self-care and wellness. I hope you enjoy this episode just as much as I did.

  • Girl Talk

    Let’s have some “Girl Talk”💅🏾!

    I have a special guest joining me for this light-hearted yet serious conversation.
    Ja’Nice is a fashion, beauty, and entertainment content creator.
    We connected after I went down the rabbit hole watching a bunch of her Tik Toks and YouTube commentary videos surrounding reality tv🤭.
    As most of you may know, I love The RHW.

    However, some issues lie below the surface within the DMV cast such as colorism and “mean girl” behavior that we can no longer ignore.

  • Self-Actualization


    Self-actualization is the realization of a person’s full potential.

    People who have reached self-actualization are fully aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, and they have learned to accept themselves for who they are.

    I have a special guest joining me for this conversation - Christena Barton Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW .


    We’ll discuss the importance of self-actualization and the personal journey that includes healing and growth.

  • Is Love Really Blind?

    Many of us were tuned in, and I mean ALL the way in to season 6 of “Love is Blind”. Whether you heard about Clay, AD, and Je-Ra-Mey😂 on IG, or TikTok, you knew about the hot rotisserie mess from episode 1 to the reunion.

    It’s only right I invited the hosts of "We Watch Too Much TeaV" to join me in discussing this reality tv show.

    We Watch Too Much Teav is a weekly podcast where two real-life best friends dish on all the TV content they’ve been binging in their remote work-based lives.

    Special guest appearance from: Jeroslyn & Tinaya
