  • Episode 42: "I'm A Recovering Perfectionist" Ft Ashley and Amani
    Feelings of self-doubt and not feeling good enough can be normal under certain circumstances but constantly telling yourself you aren't good enough  for something to the point where you talk yourself out opportunities or moments you know will help with your personal development can be damaging to your mental health and self-esteem. This week the boys are in conversation with fellow podcasters Ashley and Amani from Thoughts At The Mic podcast to talk about imposter syndrome, self-doubt, perfectionism, and various ways in which we can overcome these things.

  • Episode 40: Orphan-ish Ft Ashley Fields

    This week the boys are joined by Ashley Fields creator of the grief platform, Orphan-ish, which has undoubtedly become a great resource for those dealing with bereavement. Ashley can relate to the boys when it comes to grief as she lost both of her parents. We talk about how it has not only become a way for her to be transparent about her grief but a resource for many others who find themselves grieving. Ashley shares the causes of her parents passing, and we delve into grief cliches discussing some of the most common ones we've been told.



    Ashley has also started to speak about her journey on several platforms. Check out her interview with Voyage Dallas.

  • Episode 33: "Social Media is the biggest evil eye" Ft Gina Adu

    On this week’s episode we are talking with our guest,Gina Adu, about sharing grief on social media and how it can be toxic due to negative comments and people trying to police what is acceptable and what is not. Are people uncomfortable with people sharing grief? Should those expressing the loss of a loved or loved ones put trigger warnings on what they are sharing? These, and more, are things we discussed and try to reflect on.

    Gina also talks about losing her father, why she decided not to go to his funeral, and seeking closure.
