A lot of us avoid talking about this and acknowledging this. Friendship breakups can be traumatic, self-care is self-preservation, and the approval you are waiting for can only come from yourself.

Not only was this episode inspired by real life conversations, but The Friendzone Podcast's “The Grief Episode” was posted the week before this episode dropped; perfect timing. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7jJnRTu7cq3KeptEPxim36?si=72077454ca854002

Grab your tissues, this is the most difficult conversation yet. Blossom and I finally have the conversations we wish we heard more often regarding trials and tests of faith that hit HOME. This episode is specifically for someone to know: you are not alone. If you're going through a particularly isolating experience, open your heart to God; it's the safest place to be (Psalm 131, Proverbs 18:10, Psalm 56:3, 4). Allow Him to soothe your soul. God can turn even the worst situations around to actually benefit you (Romans 8:28)! I wouldn't be telling you this unless I knew for myself that it worked. May this testimony and conversation set somebody free, in the name of Jesus (Revelation 12:11).

In the final episode of the midterms, Blossom and I get real about losing friends while leveling up. We continue the conversation about how God is moving in our everyday, regular shmegular lives. I also provide a quick prophetic word for somebody in the intro--catch it if it's yours!

Welcome to the midterm season! Hope this ties you over til season 2. This week, my good sis Blossom stops by to discuss the intensity of teen tv shows (looking at you, Euphoria), the market for teenagers on OnlyFans, and answer the question, "can you be talented without showing your body?" During our conversation, we also exchange stories on moments we probably shouldn't have laughed but couldn't help it. We need to talk about laughing in church and the sugar baby agenda.

We share somehow comical stories of casual (internalized) racism, Black Karens, and why I will never again attend a PWI. We also talk about how to finesse the system and protect yourself in social and classroom settings. All the kids who were the *only one* in their class or small town, this is for you.

Thanks for listening.

just press play.

My guest is anonymous and honestly, we're just having a good time! During our conversation, she and I crack jokes, talk about inferiority complexes vs humility, and discuss the double bind of excellence. It's not every day you get [to hear from someone who is as awesome as this person for this reason (brag about them)]! We need to talk about inferiority complexes & imposter syndrome.

In this episode, I mentioned Mariah Carey laughing in a whistle tone. If the tweet still exists, visit https://twitter.com/beyriahparadise/status/1422335068853387272?s=20. And join us next week for part 2, which gets REALLY spicy.

This week I'm joined by another incredible cousin, Lilitha aka Lili. We discuss our views of masculinity, femininity, spiritual gifts, raising genderless children, and what to do about our dying planet. We also shared a similar dream! We need to talk about masculine & feminine energy.

In this episode, I mentioned my recent YouTube video on spirituality. If, during this episode, your discernment (or curiosity) is going haywire, check it out here https://youtu.be/cPNivovGXOM.
