Kyrie Barnes has a story that is incredible of overcoming hardship and coming out stronger. She is such a fighter and we are having 2 parts to her story because it is unreal how much one person can endure. Kyrie grew up in a dysfunctional home with a lot of fighting and alcohol abuse. Her parents got divorced when she was 9 years old and her and her younger brother spent a lot of time with their grand parents not seeing their parents for long periods of time. She moved a lot and was always the new kid in school and often found herself bullied and not fitting in. As a teen she got into an abusive relationship that was both verbal and emotional. She got engaged and married quickly and once she got pregnant her husband was disappointed and acted out in abusive and threatening ways. After enduring an emergency C section of her first baby, when he was 9 months old  she became pregnant again with baby number 2. Her husband started smoking pot a lot and they quickly lost the beautiful new home they had moved into. Her husband was like a Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Her Mom was a big help during that time and she loved her grand babies very much. After 5 years of marriage and living in an unstable, unhealthy and abusive environment Kyrie packed up her 2 children and moved in with her grand parents. She also found out that her husband had cheated on her several times. She then experienced a beautiful time in her life with peace after all the chaos in her marriage, but it was short lived. She was hired by MAC and became a Make Up Artist for them and loved her job.Her Mom moved in to help with the children while she was at work. An always constant however was her ex husband who always brought his chaos around, talking bad about her and threatening to kill himself constantly. Then everything came crashing down when Kyrie realized after 7 months of living with her Mom that her Mom was addicted to Crystal Meth. She then tells the heartbreaking, devastating story of her Mom suffering 2 strokes and tragically passing away from drug abuse.

Leighton joins us as we start the show to discuss how women behave in 2019 and how forward they are with their sexual advances. We also talk about how some women demand to be choked and hit during sex.Leighton says that how he was raised he would never dream of hitting a woman, but his parents did not prepare him for today’s world where women want this type of behavior. Being single in 2019 is a challenge. We then talk about different types of complicated relationships. 1. The one where you leave a toothbrush at his place. Leighton has very strong feelings about that one and Gabrielle asks why you would stay at his house if you are not exclusive.  2. The one where you don’t love each other anymore, but you are trying to pretend like you still do. Marcella has very strong feelings about moving in together if not married and that it makes it way easier to break up.
3. The one where you have been booty calling each other for an awkwardly long time for it to still just be nothing more than a booty call. Gabrielle is asking how that works and Leighton makes it clear that you cannot find a wife that way and that it will leave you very lonely. 4. The one where you don’t hook up anymore, but you still talk frequently for people who hooked up three times four summers ago. Isn’t everyone friends with everyone they hooked up with?5.

The one where you are exclusive but not dating. Leighton shares his recent experience that was great but ended to not waste anyone’s time. 7.

We are thrilled to welcome Leighton Fields as our new co host. With his refreshing sense of humor and handsome good looks he brings a whole new dimension to our Too Posh Podcast as well as a male perspective, which is fun and very entertaining. We discuss if pilots and flight attendants hook up at 30.000 feet. We ask if anyone in the room is in the Mile High Club. Then we come to the conclusion if you have a Cheater mentality you should definitely become a pilot or flight attendant. We call Julie Mack who has been a flight attendant for a major airline for over 25 years and she tells us that she found love in the air. She also tells us about lots of scandals that happen in the airline industry. She has caught many people having sex on the plane. Miss Polly Segment: We get to hear Miss Polly’s thoughts about this subjects and she tells us that some pilots and flight attendants actually have entire different families in different cities. Question of the Day Segment:  What is the most favorite place you have ever traveled to, and where do you want to go next. This prompts Marcella to talk about her super human powers when encountering bugs.

This show we discuss all the terrible things people do on flights and we are so shocked and annoyed at how some people behave. We discuss the ongoing debate if the shades should be kept open or closed. Gabrielle has super strong opinions about that. We talk about people reclining their seats, people having too much fun and partying, which we are all in favor of but others get super mad about. People complaining about others tapping on the screen behind their seat, pulling themselves up on chairs. Marcella’s biggest pet peeve is when people try to get off the plane first and pushing and shoving. People being nosy, reading your magazine and having commentary about it, operating ipads and computers on 100% brightness. Smelly bathrooms, farting, snoring, sneezing and coughing. People taking off their shoes and showing off their nasty feet. People that bring gross, smelly food on the plane. Passengers that use the tray table as changing tables. People removing their dentures and people watching porn.Mile High Club, people changing clothes, stretching their legs, or clipping their finger and toe nails. Then we wonder if it is bad to do full facials and make up on flights. We all agree that men need to go back to being gentlemen on flights.

Melissa Lawson, Winner of NBC Hit Show Nashville Star Season 6 is back and continues her INCREDIBLE life story. We pick up with her being in Nashville, for the Nashville Star competition, making it into the top 12 and being sequestered for 3 months. We get lots of behind the scenes information. She says that she was given an opportunity and felt like it was her responsibility to take full advantage of it and work as hard as she could. The show was MC’d by Billy Ray Cyrus, who Melissa says is truly an amazing guy and the judges were John Rich, Jewel and Jeffrey Steele. Melissa’s mentor was John Rich, who really fought for her. She tells us how extremely nerve wrecking it is to stand on stage to find out if you get voted off.

So incredibly exciting. After winning she experienced the ride of her life for a few months, being whisked from interview to interview, being flown to Bejing China and performing for the Olympic games and headlining every weekend for months. After about 6 months she returned home only to find her kids out of control and slowly her life crumbling in front of her.

They lost it all. Her husband tried to save their marriage and had to come clean about everything he had ever done, and it confirmed everything she had suspected for years. Melissa is so compassionate and decided to forgive him, because all she wanted was to keep her family intact. She has PTSD and fights mental illness on a daily basis from the traumas she repeatedly experienced over the course of 20 years. However she is friends with her ex husband and they co parent together. Listen to her experience with Tony Robbins who worked with her and her husband, Rick. The pair, who have five children, are struggling to overcome Rick’s infidelity while Melissa was away from home on tour and recording. The conflict has affected Melissa’s career and the couple’s relationship with their kids. The outcome is crazy. They tried to repair their marriage several more times, but after yet another affair Melissa had had enough, left, filed for divorce, started her own super successful company and met her new husband. She was going through a very confusing time and made choices she is not proud of but you must hear her tell the story of getting pregnant with her 6th child. It is spellbinding and mind blowing. She wrote a suicide letter, took pills, was rescued, but was put on lock down and put in a psychiatric unit for 14 days. Today Melissa is trying to inspire women of all walks of life and she started a podcast “Living with the Lawson’s” and is actively working on reviving her music career with her boys that have a band. We encourage her to go on America’s got talent. Melissa is a big believer that nobody has to be perfect and it is better to share the truth than to keep secrets. What an inspiration she is. Question of the Day Segment: Name a movie that you have watched over 5 times that you are still entertained by.Penis and Pussy Talk Segment: The sex talk isn’t enough.
