Let me start by saying, this episode is for GROWN FOLKS ONLY! One of my doctor sister-friends and I had quite the conversation about what intimacy looks (and feels) like to us, in our 40s. Enjoy. 

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Brown answers many questions we've asked our friends about what's going on with our bodies. Did your hair start falling out, deodorant randomly stop working, have little to no sex drive, looking like you're pregnant thanks to fibroids, eating like crap and don't know why? Dr. Brown went all the way in! Enjoy. 

Did you, like me, foolishly assume biracial people didn't experience issues with colorism? Thank goodness for amazing people like Kelly, fitness coach ig @kelllydiener21, who was willing to share her story about growing up biracial and marrying a White man. I learned a lot and hope you do too. 

"Isms" happen in every community. Little did I know, White people can also experience forms of colorism. I spoke with one of my brunette brown-eyed friends about what it was like to grow up knowing your grandmother wished you looked different... more White American. She heard the phrase "no daughter of mine..." too many times to count. Hope you learn as much as I did. Enjoy.

I'm learning so much these days about he/him, they/them, she/her, non-binary, gender fluidity, asexual, pan sexual, etc... it's a lot. I'm glad I'm learning, mostly from the kids. In this episode, I spoke with a leading pediatrician about what it all means. I hope this episode helps you learn something too. 

Since the pandemic, many of us have put on the dreaded COVID 15 or 20lbs. As we age, our metabolisms slow down dramatically. I'm here to tell you, you are truly beautiful. Period. Not just beautiful when you lose weight or when you were younger. Take some sexy pictures and see how others see you too. It's the confidence for me!

Do you know someone who gets in relationships and all of sudden forgets her friends and herself? You might have even been that person who looks up years later and can't seem to find your identity. You're his/her/their wife, Baby X's mother. If that's you in a relationship, then this episode is for you. 

Did you assume that once you decided on a major or set on a particular career path that you would never change? I know I did. I thought you made a decision and stuck with it. Wrong! Life changes, we change. In this episode, I talk with two women about their career paths in education and higher learning. 

There are so many of us who only know half or none of our birth stories. Some of us were adopted. Some of us had a parent leave when we were so young that we barely remember them. Some of us were even unknowingly kidnapped by a custodial parent unable to be located. I am the latter. I was led to believe my father didn't want me, which of course led to "daddy issues."  In this episode, I talk with my sister-in-law who found her family through ancestry.com. She and I discuss our self-discovery journeys and how we're getting through it all. Hope you enjoy. New episodes drop every Friday at midnight, EST.

If you've ever asked yourself "am I too old to wear this" or have said, "that's not the best look on her" then this episode is for you. As I get older, my mind says  'ooh I would look cute in that,' but these pandemic pounds say, girl look for something that stretches.   In this episode, you'll hear different perspectives from curvy, to fashionista, to the self-proclaimed regular chick. We talk about everything from full coverage panties to chaffing thighs. I started the show with a brief rant session, then chopped it up with my girls! Hope you enjoy. New episodes drop every Friday.

We probably all know about the caste system in India, but how many of us wonder what kind of colorism Indians experience in America? Today, I spoke with my three Indian friends about colorism in the Indian culture. Two of them, born in India, the other, in the U.S. We discuss a myriad of topics from American born children, our in-laws, and marriage.  New episodes drop every Friday. Enjoy.

This episode is strictly for the ladies! Ladies who have had a mammogram or need to have one, ladies who've had an abnormal pap result, ladies who notice gray hairs in places you didn't know you'd get them! If you've had these experiences, this episode will show you that you're not alone.
