Thinking Out Loud with Karla & Ambra

With so many "new normals" in the 21st century TOLKA hosts discuss whether or not Van Jones just provided us with a new look for families. The famous broadcaster and one of his closet female platonic friends decided they wanted to have a child together and practice a "conscious parenting" style. Karla and Ambra share what this means to them and if they could turn back the hands of time, is this an option they would have pursued? This one is interesting and funny!!!

The ladies of TOLKA sit down with their guest for another great conversation about the emotional IQ of most men. Listen to a man discuss what men are taught from childhood that influence every one of their future relationships. Good men exist, but is it enough to be a "good man" if you're unable to feel and fully express your truest self to those you love the most.

The ladies of TOLKA are definitely as different as they are alike. Sometimes their thoughts are similar and other times not so much.  Join them and a special guest as they share polarizing views of the Sydney Carter controversy.  Why such an argument about what this coach wears to her team's basketball games?  Is it really about the clothes or is there more to it? Listen in as they weigh in on this trending topic and find out which side our guest is on and who's left with a strong dissenting opinion!

As a generation, the last 2 years we have had to bury our parents, friends we grew up with and suffered financial and personal loss. We have had to start over while being faced with new responsibilities associated with a "new normal" during these unprecedented times.  But for 13 minutes on a Sunday in the middle of probably the most mentally and and emotionally challenging time of our lives, Gen X/Millennials were comforted, recharged and taken back to a simpler time in our lives and it was everything we all needed! Hip-hop took center stage at the Super Bowl halftime show as Dr. Dre', Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J Blige, Eminem and 50 Cent packed a powerful punch, 3 decades in the making! Join the TOLKA hosts as they discuss arguably the most Epic performance in Super Bowl history and why they still got love for the streets!

Not even two full months into the New Year and the devastating conversation of suicide is in headlines. Within three weeks four accomplished public-figures have taken their own lives. TOLKA hosts have a hard conversation about the subject that most people would like to steer clear of. They share statistics, and share what experts deem as warning signs. The ladies would like to dedicate this show to Kevin, Ian, Moses, Cheslie and everyone who has lost their battle to mental illness.

We all have moments of insecurity, unfortunately, instead of dealing with those issues, some use social networking platforms as a crutch to make themselves feel better. When connecting with a "friend" on social media, you learn a lot about them. Some of what you learn are things they intended to share. Other times, you're exposed to shortcomings and insecurities they unknowingly communicate through the things they post and the way in which they choose to use social media. Listen as the ladies of TOLKA discuss what experts identify as suspect behavior on social media and the confession of one of the ladies that she's engaged in a few of them!

Just like that 2021 is a wrap! Karla and Ambra give a recap of the year that challenged them both in ways like never before! They discuss major events, like the insurrection at the Capitol, Ambra’s first trip out of the country, and the snow storm that shut all of Texas down for a week!  The ladies also share what they are looking forward to in 2022! Sit back and enjoy another great conversation in TOLKALand!

As TOLKA prepares to put the closing year in review, they take a pit stop into the blockbuster headline of one of their favorite celebrity couple's announcement of divorce! With the break-up of marriages becoming so main-stream, it doesn't seem to be such a compelling topic except how this couple came to present themselves the world! Listen in as Karla and Ambra once again shine the spotlight on the complexities of relationships and how sometimes you can do all the right things and the outcome may turn out to be not what you planned.

Expectations are an important part of any relationship. They help us set guidelines for appropriate treatment and behavior. But expectations can be hard to create and even harder to navigate through the minefield of two beating hearts. Listen in as the TOLKA hosts share their thoughts about how we sometimes hurt ourselves by hearing our own voice and not that of the other person. The question becomes, When someone tells you who they are and what they want, should you believe them?

Karla and Ambra sit down to have a tough conversation about gun violence. Amid the tragedy of yet another mass shooting, the ladies put the laughs aside to share their thoughts about the 2nd amendment and American’s right to bear arms.
