Today, Mohna and BJ discuss shoes. The comfortable ones. The ones you wear daily, even when they don't match your attire. You put these shoes on in a heartbeat, whenever you try to be comfortable. The problem is that you may be too comfortable. Which could be the reason why there is little to no growth. The shoes you may be wearing may effect the outfit of your life, and how everything coordinates with each other! Have you ever thought about that? Questions that are posed in this episode are: 1. Whose shoe are you trying to fill? - Yours or someone you love or look up to? 2. Are your shoes to small? - Is the shoes you are filling a space much too small, that prevents proper position, comfort, and footing? 3. Does the shoes match the Outfit? - How does your comfort effect the outfit of your life? Are you lazy because of your comfort zone? Are you slothful to try on a new shoe and outfit, to change life's appearance? 4. Do you buy shoes you know you cant fit? - Buying things that you intend to grow into. Does that work? Does that backfire? This is a episode where you have to use your intuitions to figure this life thing out. Maybe life hasn't changed much simply because you are just way too comfortable!!!!

Every Episode seems like we are trying our hardest to lift our spirits and fight through another week. So this week's episode of Our2Cents was spent making one declaration. TO SAY NO MORE. And it can be put to use any way you would like to use it....whether you chose to say NO more than you say YES. Or, you say NO MORE when it comes to being used, abused, mistreated, taken advantage of, etc. Its time to reclaim your peace and sanity. That was pretty much the entire conversation. We talked about how we communicate our not so positive feelings and emotions. Mohna still shows empathy and compassion. BJ has completely thrown both hands up. But overall, a person's no is their no...whether you like it or not!!! Mohna Lyssaa gave us her "Comfort Zones Is For Suckas" that she affectionately titled WWBJD (What Would BJ Do??)...she also states how comfort doesn't make much of a difference, in her current stage of life. She wants to navigate through discomfort with more determination, bravery, and willingness. BJ has somehow inspired a more productive use of his IDGAF attitude. Selfishly focusing on nothing but his own priority and happiness. Later finding out that your no is a release and a boundary we need to have for ourselves. You can't let any and everything get you down. Lastly, we discuss the power of just saying OK, instead of no. Although OK could represent a multitude of feelings...It could definitely do more harm than good! Tune in to Episode 16 and let us inspire you to say NO more....or say NO MORE!!!!!

Welcome to Episode 15 of the Our2Cents Podcast. Today we discussed quite a few things. From a brief tale of Mohna Lyssaa giving her boyfriend the boot, we somehow ended up talking about support when it comes to men. How much do you give a man, in the event he is down? Is he entitled? How much support do you get for just being a human being? Is there a point to say "fuck it"??? Or even "fuck you"??? BJ goes into Comfort Zones Are For Suckaz, detailing how perspective can greatly affect rejection and disappointments. Something that we all experience. How you view being told no can make or break you. It's a valuable lesson in love and adulthood. A "No" doesn't mean you missed out. It sometimes means that you need to readjust your approach. Then we discuss our topic...Mary J Blige made the declaration that she will insist that the only men she will be involved with will be men who make more than her. Many women sympathize, and agree, with her sentiments. But none question her judgments in picking that man. There was never a question if she has good taste in men. Did she decide to settle for a man that was convenient or available? Why is it that the man is always at fault when the relationship sours? Could looking for status and salary be the reason you overlook key necessities in a relationship. We break that down. We also talk spousal support when it comes to men. Is spousal support cowardly, when it comes to men? We talk sacrifices men make that get no credit. This conversation was pretty good. Lots of perspective and analogies for ways to renew commitment between two people...despite their status. Check out episode 15 and let us know what you think!!!!

Good day to all of you amazing people that are returning to listen to Mohna Lyssaa and BJ talk their shit! Our2Cents is back with a new episode that was very different than any other episode so far. Today we talk about the pimp game. Where did it come from? How did it start? Is it still alive? From doing our "Googles" we got a few pointers....So with this conversation, we delved into our experiences and interpretations. And found out that it's very possible that it's under a different name....called sex trafficking. Mohna kicks off the show with a vivid tale of her childhood innocence. Chronicling a typical summer day riding her bike to a park with a friend. Being very observant to her surroundings, she notices a suspicious vehicle. Questioning her safety, she decides to leave and head back home. The car proceeded to follow. Could she have been prey? Was this a potential abduction? This led us into our conversation. BJ talks about his misunderstanding of what pimp actually meant. Believing it to be a glamorized life of wealth and multiple women at your disposal. Never considering the violence, manipulation, and abuse these women suffer at the hands of a pimp. Is the reason why the pimp game has changed due to the fact that men are failing at just being men? because both men and pimps are expected to provide and protect. And lately, both have done neither. We talk sex work, misconceptions, enterprise, underworld dealings and more in this episode. We introduce a segment called Comfort Zones Are For Suckas. And we discuss how women have changed the game completely...even in the pimp game. Tune in and tell us what you think!!!

Welcome back to another episode of Our2Cents Podcast. We are here with another episode of great dialogue. This episode is a great dialogue about the mental health needed to withstand an imbalanced partnership...whether friendship, relationship, or marriage. A few days ago, a pastor named John Gray, made a declarative statement that his wife was a covering to him, in time of him dealing with some insecurities/fragility in his manhood. He also stated that his wife endured more pain birthing him, than she did their children. That sent women into an outrage, because he never once considered her humanity, while she assisted in his! Women began to show their disgust for him, and even his wife for her tolerance. But is that because he used her for his own personal gains? Or because she was actually able to reap the reward of sticking with a man she sacrificed for...and you didnt?...or couldn't? We brought someone along to help us break down this dysfunction. We have TaKenyah, a very outspoken podcast trailblazer, who doesn't back down from any type of conversation that challenges your comfort when it comes to privilege and inequality. She brought so much wisdom and personal discovery to the conversation. She talked about her upcoming graduation from college in December. The depression and emotional traumas that suddenly appear at the peak of one of her biggest accomplishments. She also talked about how toxic John's narrative was for both women of color in a relationship; and for women who are single, who are looking forward to love. Advising woman to focus on your self worth, versus determining your worth based on what you do for a man. Mohna gave some profound pointers on how words can be misconstrued by the emotions behind them. How adding special dressings on top of your words can backfire, just like it did for our beloved brother. She places emphasis on compassion, understanding, detail, and communication being focal points for men and women. BJ brings a more spiritual perspective to the conversation, while taking in the conversation of two women with different views on the topic. Asking the questions that men are too uncomfortable to ask. Where is divine order in black love? How do we emotionally gain support as black men, without being degraded? The process of talking out the issues between men and women brought a lot of great pointers to build on in any relationship state. Listen and let us know what you think!

Welcome Back!!! Did you miss us (certainly hope so!!!)??? Mohna and BJ are back from a brief hiatus to talk about a few things. And its good too!!! We start the show by discussing whats been going on, that had us miss a few drop dates. We are making strides to adjust to our circumstances, so that we wont miss release dates going further. But nonetheless, we bring you back up to speed with a very dope conversation.Somehow, from Mohna discussing an encounter with the meat man at Kroger...we flow into a conversation about the male anatomy. Or the lack thereof. Stemming from a twitter post from a very well known podcaster, comes a conversation that is bound to make men uncomfortable. We talk dick size, over compensated confidence, stroke of ego, and countless other man issues we all know and see daily. But the difference is that Our2Cents has a more constructive approach to the criticisms. We offer suggestions that will aid in the struggles men go through with dealing with women criticizing them for the member. We also grabbed a few intelligent women, who took the time to give pointers and opinions on the matter as well. If a little dick is your issue in(sex)life...SO WHAT!!! Use it to the best of your abilities. Just know that the proper attitude and instructions make the difference. We also address the women as well. Because yes....if a little dick man has "I'll Beat Your Shit Up" in his vocabulary...its probably YOUR fault. We discuss our women, and the need for them to be more honest, vocal, and compassionate to our men. That they may understand that some men need to hear truth, constructively of course. We address scenarios that all are familiar with. Even briefly talk sexual health. This was a pretty good conversation for our return back!!!Hope you enjoy the show!!! Press Play!!!!!!

Today's episode is titled "The Future Is Feminine"...and it features @mohna.lyssaa and @penroseeames ... the conversation touches on the current state of feminism, and the direction it will take the world. Now that women have taken reign over entertainment, politics, sports, etc...Women have come forward, and are dominating. And men have become fragile, emotional, desperate, and even envious...simply because the tides are turning. Is it possible that men are uncomfortable with the future taking shape, simply because the women are in the forefront? And refuse to be silenced, and placed in the position that men now stand in....which is the background? Have men now begin to understand what it means to be a female, in a male dominated world? We have a layered conversation that touches several topics. We talk about communication. How men feel like women have an unorthodox way of communicating, that only they understand. Is the possibility of your misunderstanding due to lack of listening? Maybe this is why they are screaming at society to be heard. And the actions are backing the voices. We also talk about women in leadership. How it may be time to accept women running things...like the home...the White House...and many other institutions. Has the man's time come to an end?....and now it's our turn to understand what feminism feels like? This is a multi layered conversation with great friends that will definitely entertain. So the next time you hear the statement "The Future Is Female" understand that that is not a gender specific statement. It simply means that the direction we will follow and inherit going forward will be of a woman. We will walk into the future, guided by the light and wisdom of a woman. And if you men are smart, you will follow suit....or SKIRT!!!!!

Episode 10: The "Cancelled" Culture (feat. Penrose Eames) by Mohna LyssaaDergobj

Today's episode of Change The Subject deals with making certain life choices, in order to improve the quality of living you have. BJ takes an every day occurrence and turns into a very talk worthy conversation. Have you every asked yourself that question...."What Do You Do For A Living??? And when we say "living", we don't mean for money...or as an occupation. We are discussing the steps to living your absolute best life possible... We touch on partnership as well. giving some perspective to why partnership is important. How labeling certain responsibilities man/woman's jobs can be very inconsiderate of the other person. How to be of support of someone, even when you are uncapable of actually handling any parts of the other person's responsibility. Take a listen as we discuss and dissect or living arrangements. Is it time for our lives to be rearranged???

Chapter 1: No Disrespect is officially up + available on SoundCloud. Mohna poses the question, "what do you do when the other parent is unintentionally tainting your child's esteem?" And when attempting to educate why they are wrong, you are dismissed and essentially told to know your place? Listen to my story and why I feel more conversations surrounding different family dynamics such as blended families are very important and in need of taking place. Welcome to FREEFALL: The Podcast!!! Follow @mohna.lyssaa and the @thefreefallbrand....

This show is about Avery, among other things. Take a listen!

Episode 9: The Ball Is In Your Court by Mohna LyssaaDergobj

BJ is not crazy, slothful, or anemic. So don't say that his uncertainties of marriage is due to cold feet. BJ is just not fully ready to level up in commitment, JUST YET. But I'm sure if you listen to Change The Subject, as well as Our2Cents Podcast, you know that he is in a new relationship. So how exactly does this work for his lady? To answer your question...it may or may not. But BJ talked about it anyway.... Today's conversation is called Let's Honeymoon For Now, And Worry About Marriage Later. The discussion details the process of finding self, while in new love. Avoiding pressures of life, family, and your partner to enjoy each phase you share with another person. The phase that we are particular about is the "honeymoon phase". We as adults subscribe to pressures from our own relationship goals and expectations. Not realizing the importance of seizing moments of enjoyment that come in the early phases. Where there is nothing to do but learn, love, and enjoy one another. We discuss that phase and why it is so important. Is it a coincidence that there is a honeymoon phase in the beginning?...and one thereafter, once you get married? I don't think so. Its a part of a greater plan for relationships. But we as adults must not take the honeymoon phase for granted. BJ also gives his top three reasons for not jumping the broom just yet. From his confessions, you learn that some men actually have reasons besides "I'm Just Not Ready!!!"...and if you want a man to ever be prepared for marriage, try patience and understanding, instead of pressure. BJ's intent is to create a conversation for listeners to take in, that will enlighten you of how unprepared middle aged people really are for our next steps in life and love. But its totally fine. Because hopefully you and your partner can introduce to each other the idea that the honeymoon phase can last forever. But only if you enjoy it. And most importantly, invest in it. Don't take the honeymoon phase for granted. Some people are married, and have never been on a honeymoon. Remember that!!!

BJ comes with another intense (and intoxicated) episode of Change The Subject. Titled, The Conditions of Unconditional, BJ talks with Miss Kay about the circumstances that your conditions place on you when looking for true love. The argument BJ presents is that some cases of unconditional love aren't healthy....and could mean excessive baggage. KD's argument was that despite the baggage, someone should still be there. And from there....it got intense. We discuss the many variables that comes from the idea of unconditional love. Whether it be lessening your own standards in the beginning, that yield you no result in the end. Or, how a person who lacks may just need a chance, not be graded. We talk the difference between standards and preferences....privilege and morals....AND baggage versus trauma. It was a very interesting conversation to say the least. Listen to this episode and tell BJ (and MISS KAY DRUNK ASS) what you think. Which side do you agree or disagree with? or is there a side at all??

Today's episode finds Mohna Lyssaa in a introspective place, where she recognizes the lack of dialogue and communication from men in regards to women. And as much as it may feel good to know that women care, for most guys there is nothing to be excited about. simply because for every one woman who may show compassion for men...there are droves of other women who publicly beg to differ. Titled, Personalized Generalizations, today's episode discusses toxic humanities that allow people to rate, and grade, people based on specifics that don't even reflect everyone you encounter. and from this, you internalize so many negative energies and thoughts of your experiences...simply to spew them at innocent people. Mohna shows compassion by address her own personal experiences head on, by actually having to confront the person that hurt you; instead of the likeness of those that hurt you. taking responsibility for the feelings. Even the ones you didn't create. By asking BJ, about his feelings on such matters, we find that men actually do care. Just dont know how to care. But imagine being called trash everyday you are enduring this educational process. After awhile of enduring the process, it becomes hard to give a fuck. But nonetheless, Our2Cents strives to give perspective to age old issues between men and women. And a very layered conversation was had. We speak on old traditions, experiences, and even talk dating woes. In the end, we found that personal accounts cant always be generalized. Some things are black and white, and should be addressed as such. We should learn to love and affirm one another. None of us are trash. We can just afford to do better by one another.

Today's episode is called Legs Spread A Quarter Til Three. Is all starts from Mohna Lyssaa posing a question....is there a difference between promiscuity and being a hoe? BJ begins to explain how he believes there is a difference. And the conversation followed... We also discussed Jesse Peterson's video of him showing up to last year's slut walk to shame women. Was the young lady right for owning her sexuality? Should she be ashamed of who she is, or would like to be?? We define the term hoe for those who believe there is such a thing. And make you aware of whether we feel it's good or bad. We talk whores. Whores who get nothing but empty sex. Whores with no purpose. Whores in such of something they've been missing from their sexual experiences. Hoes living their best lives sexually. Can hoes be promiscuous? Is there a hoe cut off? All these questions and more....tune in now to episode 7‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Its another Friday...and another episode of Change The Subject. Today's conversation was recorded in Cleveland, Ohio, with my brothers PlayboyDaDJ, DJ Brainstorm (The Number 4 and The Letter Uuuuu!!!) and their newest member, Big Dev216 (EVERYWHERE!!!!)..... BJ decided to take the trip to kick it with the bros and catch up. And from us kickin it, came this conversation. This episode talks about support systems within our brotherhoods. Oftentimes, as men, we grow. Sometimes we OUTGROW. In these growths, we find that there are strains in our relationships that we have to deal with in order for our brotherhoods to remain solid. This is not always easy. these four kings decided to weigh in on the possibilities. Things we discuss in the convo are: Do you have to seperate to elevate? is it a possibility that your growth requires so much space that the crew doesn't fit that space and time? Is it wrong to have individual goals, while chasing the team's dreams? Is separating from the squad sucka shit?...or being brave? We also deal with the maturation of a man when love begins to surface. Does the concept "bros over hoes" apply to how you see your brother, when he pays more attention to his queen? Is there a point in every man's life when he realizes, "Ion wanna fuck bitches no mo!"... Do we as men even realize that once you get a good woman, she becomes BIG HOMIE? and does this woman have to be a "ride or die" in order to be a good woman? We talk leadership, communication, and tough love...all of which are missing from a lot of our brotherhoods today. We discuss street code, and how sometimes our hood values taint our ideals, simply because of where we come from. The conversation is definitely what you would expect from BJ. Thought Provoking. Introspective. And because of the insight that the Cleveland had to add to the conversation...Its also a dope conversation. Find Change The Subject on Apple Podcasts, Audiomack, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play and Breaker. You can also catch the show on TuneInRadio from the Our2Cents Podcast hosting. Please rate and subscribe when time permits. I appreciate the support. Until then, listen to this eargasm. Until the next episode, PEACE!!!!!

Episode 6 of The Our2Cents Podcast is called The Parent Trap. This a relative conversation to the ideas of Pro Choice. Mohna and BJ deal with the issues of traditional parenting from a circumstance of a parent making a commitment to a male child in a toy store. In the situation of you committing to buying your child any toy of their choice, your son chooses a baby doll. Would you as a parent make that purchase? Does the thought alone terrify you? We discuss how we oppress children with our traditionalist views and perspectives, with the choices we make for our children. Also, how our choices affect our children in making some of their own. We talk about the concepts of church, and how our religious beliefs can be oppressive as well. Just because you serve God does not mean you become God. We talk judgements, teachable moments, and giving children the chance to have a voice. There is a possibility that there are parents who have been trapped in the belief that "do as I say and not as I do" "because I'm your mama/daddy" and "don't talk back to me" are effective forms of parenting. And your children have been fighting to be heard over the loudness of your own childhood issues with parenting, religion, and societal standards. This conversation was healthy for those who are, and potentially will be, parents! Listen and let us know what you think!

Waddup Doe? We are finally here for the first official episode of Change the Subject. The show, titled Heavy Weight Title Holders, is featuring two of your podcast favorites: Mr. Stealyagirlonapanda himself, Danny from The Danny and Cleo Show; and Killa Kai a.k.a. Titties All Summa 18!!!! Dergobj took a trip to Philly to catch up with them, and just so happen to record a show in that process. We were able to record a very dope conversation for the listeners. Heavy Weight Title Holders challenges your perspectives when it comes to the titles and spaces you let people occupy in your life. With constant struggles and separations happening every single day, we ask this question: Does everyone in your life value their title? Does each person who holds a position in your life feel that their title comes as a responsibility? Or with entitlement? Kai tells us about the separation of a Heavy Weight Title Holder we know as a "best friend". We often look at circumstances as if we are the victims. But have you ever asked yourself what it means to be your friend? Is that a difficult responsibility to occupy that you take for granted, simply because you feel entitled to love, loyalty, and countless other things? Lastly, we ask "what would a best friend mean, if we held all of our friends to the same standards"? Danny gives us a glimpse into a Heavy Weight Title we call "First Love"...and the unique way he avoids entitlement. His beliefs that titles create senses of ownership, which are falsehoods to humanity. He references his queen (Cleo of The Danny and Cleo Show) as his best friend, soul mate, life partner, etc. Does being an "all in one" create better chances of becoming one with someone? And with carrying so many different titles at one time, does that make a relationship overwhelming? This conversation has so many layers to it that seem to parallel perfectly. We discuss mental, sexual, and emotional health. We talk depression and shout out people who love you through such. We talk societal standards that create obstacles for living up to your titles you've given and accepted. And we finish off discussing the Heavy Weight of ownership and accountability. Acknowledging when you "fucked up" and would like to be forgiven. It is so much jewelry in this conversation. I truly hope that you leave this episode with an understanding of how to treat people, and yourself, going forward. It's a must that you "Keep Your Cup Full...at all times"! You can't pour into someone else what you don't even have. Heavy Weight Title Holders was a very dope conversation with three people trying to remain peaceful and positive! Tune In!

Today is the day for Mohna and BJ to drop their 2 cents on polyamory and pansexuality. This all started when Mohna convinced BJ to binge watch the Nexflix special, She's Gotta Have It. With little to no expectation, BJ found himself questioning so many things about Polyamory and Pansexual ideals.... Is monogamy a form of possession or captivity? Should we all experience love, with unrestricted freedom and liberations? Can monogamy be a roadblock to finding one self? Are you defined?...or developed by how many sexual experiences you may have had in your past? We talk about the many issues of monogamy that seem to be completely absent from the poly or pan life. It was a very introspective conversation, with so many more questions left to be asked and answered. Take a listen and tell us what you think. With so many people today subscribing to a more liberated way of relationship building....we had to ask, "Is monogamy a thing of the past?" Join us in the conversation as we exchange ideas. Also suggest other shows that are great watches for BJ. The nigga need something to do other than work!!!!!

Welcome to Episode 4! Today's Episode is titled "The Pleasure Principal", where we discuss the proper channels of communicating your wants and needs in a physical relationship. We somehow managed to weave a few current events in popular culture to parallel with today's conversation. Surprisingly, they managed to fit perfectly! Take, for instance, this scathing beef between Drake and Pusha T. Despite several shots at each individuals credibility, the beef didnt get real until each decided to reference the respected women in their lives. Oddly enough for Drake, he was rumored to have a secret child with a porn star... who typically does everything a man dreams of... yet is scorned for the decisions she's made to acquire the experience. Considering that men want a freak in the bed, are we too particular in where that freak comes from? Is her experience the reason she's fucking you right? Then the tragic exposing of Teairra Mari... who fulfilled her responsibilities to a bum ass nigga that decided to out her after a break up. Is there now a standard of what type of nude pics you send or take? Is there a reason behind the degrading picture that a guy/girl desires to save in their phones? Should you expose your identity comfortably in pics, not knowing if the relationship can go left? Lastly we talk about the selfish lover like the infamous DJ Khaled, who calls his wife "His Queen", but wont bow before her. Is it selfish to expect something you are uncomfortable reciprocating in a relationship? Who over 25 is not eating pussy (Kill Yourself if you raised your ashy ass dick beater!!)??? With the lack of Foreplay, should you have a conversation before you let someone experience you sexually? We discuss this... We had a mature conversation about setting your own principles for your pleasures. In order to live the best life, the best sex is included!!! Listen to the show as we talk life, sex, music.... AND THERE IS A SURPRISE CLIP AT THE VERY END!!!!!1 Follow the show @ our2centspod on instagram, twitter, and facebook. Follow Mohna @ mohnalyssaa on twitter, instagram, and facebook.

Today, Our2Cents Podcast, along with Gold Minds Media Network, presents a new show called Change The Subject. Hosted by Our2Cents very own Dergobj; This show's intention is to divert the conversation away from the typical topics of conversation you hear every day. One of the things you've been hearing quite often is how men have been accused of sexual misconduct. taking things beyond too far. And subsequently, men are not stepping up to challenge men to do better. So BJ decided to take it back to the fundamentals of the Cat and Mouse game to find out if men have the basic skillset to approach a woman correctly. Titled "The Completion of A Compliment", this episode features D Murph and D Moore (Penrose Eames) of DownWithTheDMs and this Hollywood ass Cleveland nigga named MTV from Poolside Chats Podcast!!! These kings bought game to the table. We discussed: How have you been taught to give compliments? A. Grabbing her by the wrist and forcefully giving her the compliment? B. Simply Making Her Smile/Laugh to eventually make her comfortable? C. Yelling from afar, "Damn Girl You Fine as Hell!!" D. All of The Above Have you acknowledged that you are a product of rape cultivation within our culture? And that the slightest gestures could be mistaken as triggers? Has the absence of fatherhood played a part of why you don't know how to treat a woman? Is getting your game from a woman confusing you? Simply because your mother can only tell you what not to do to women, because even SHE hasn't been treated right? Does your compliments get you blocked? Friend zoned? Possibly Married? Is chivalry dead? And the finale, we have a pop quiz on how to complement women at the end of the show. The episode was so full of grown man talk and wisdom. This is a treat!!! Take a listen!!! (Disclaimer: The audio has some distorted spots from me editing out so much background noise. My apologies on the quality. This episode was recorded during PodpaloozaVegas event. SO, in the efforts to remove the background ruckus, it distorted some of the sections of the audio. I just felt the show was so good that i put it out anyway!) This is the UNOFFICIAL first episode of Change The Subject!!!! Episode 1 will be coming very soon! Thanks for the Supreme Love!!!!

Our2Cents is back again with another episode on this fine Wednesday. Today we discuss our background. Giving details to the origins and difficulties of our friendship. Starting out (and technically still are) as just homies...Mohna and BJ navigate through the story of how they became JUST FRIENDS!! And despite being associated and romantically linked to other people, each respective love interest weren't able to ignore the obvious chemistry between them. But did that automatically mean that they had to be intimate in order to establish that chemistry? Can two people just vibe together well without crossing lines?? We talk about it. From Mohna's mystery man who stands her up for prom...to BJ's short term situationship with Lil Rah Rah...the story takes numerous turns. But the one thing that has survived the trials was their friendship. And even today, people are struggling to understand that despite their bond with one another...they will never take the chance of ruining their bond. They prove that platonic relationships are possible. And they encourage you to have one, even if you are in a committed relationship. Episode 3 also talks about the concepts of the soul mate. Are your ideas of a soul mate restricted to your intimate relationships? or could their be a possibility that you are just drawn to kindred spirits? All of this and more in Episode 3 titled "Homie...Lover (???)...Platonic Friend.

Our2Cents has dropped another episode people. This show, titled "What Does The "Co" Mean In Co-Parenting", touches on the trials and errors of adulting...when a child is involved. How we connect our egos and personal views on the relationship between co parent, and child. And the majority of the time, those things never have anything to do with proper childcare. We define the abbreviation of "CO" as being: 1. Communication 2. Co-Exist 3. Convenience 4. Contribution We touch on each, and give our views on why they all can be effective in regards to a co parenting situation. BJ also peels more layers back on the circumstances of his very brief co parenting stint. All in all, we want peace among parent, whether they are together or not. Listen as we discuss our views on parenting. Hope you enjoy the show!!!!
