In this episode Fran and I discuss why the gym and working out is typically the first resolution to go. That broken resolution comes and goes quickly, first relationship down the drain in a new year. We talk about our personal gym issues, fitness failures, inspiration, and getting caught up in the hype of fitness related products. I'm accepting donations for my Peloton bike.

In this episode we returned from a much needed break with a fun Q & A. In celebration of Tece's birthday, Fran asked you guys for some questions and you delivered. Hope you enjoy this episode, because ya'll are nosey!

In this episode Fran and I share some of the levels of success we have heard over the years. We speak on how some bars are seen to be set really low, and how we should push to strive for more. We also go into detail about our definitions of success and what truly matters to each of us. Have you defined what your "Mama I made it" moment is??

In this episode Fran and I share our thoughts and opinions on reality TV and how it capitalizes off of stereotypes of black women. The show that triggered this topic was the recent episode of Real Housewives of Potomac and their fight scene. A version of ratchet TV at it's finest. We talk about:The lack of empathy and togetherness that exist among black women.Our desire to see more shows that portray black people in a positive light.Culturally sensitive times we are living in right now.

Today we're talking about having real friendships as an adult and what that actually means. Everyone has their own definition of what a friend is but sometimes that term is still used quite loosely (in my opinion). Are you open to making new friends in your thirties? Have you lost friends over the years that you may consider reaching out to? We cover all the things in this episode.

In this episode we're talking about the beauty perceptions of the world, and how instagram is a blessing and a curse. Stop comparing your body to others! Accept yourself and your body, give you so much love. Create your own narrative about what beauty is to you. If you want that milkshake go get it, try that new flavor. Don't justify that sh*t to anyone!

This week's episode picks right up from the discussion last week regarding our military time and experiences. We go further into detail about why we decided to get out of the military, and how the transition back into civilian life was for us. We're dropping some gems in this one!

If you're an OG listener then you already know that we have both served our time in the military. This week we are diving into some of our experiences while serving. We talk about what motivated us to join the military, how we reacted to training, and few other hot topics. We keep it real as usual so if you're looking for generic responses on this topic, you're in the wrong place.

In this episode we are exploring the ups and downs of being the nice girl/guy. We dive deep into the issues Tece has with carrying this internal image for so long, and how she is working through it. Nice people are needed in this world, but don't allow yourself to become a punching bag for people that don't deserve your kindness. Let that b*tch out sometimes!

This week Francesca and I explore the world of dating preferences, specifically focused on the element of race. Everyone has their personal preference, but your preference doesn't justify defaming another race. Don't be that person! We're going deep with this one but as usual, it's always funny as sh*t.

This week we decided to give you the highlights of what we've been up to lately. We cover topics ranging from the return of the NBA, Hinge, and some of the dumbest things we have seen and heard recently. As usual....its funny!

The Five Love Languages is a global best selling book written by Dr. Gary Chapman, explaining all about how an individual desires to receive love. The languages are pretty self-explanatory but of course we describe them in our own "special" way in this episode. This book and the logic behind the languages will completely change the way you approach someone in a relationship.

Unless you've been hiding in the last week or so, everybody is going crazy over the conversation between Jada & Will Smith. A conversation that led to the most recent buzz word of "entanglement". In this week's episode we get into our opinions on the whole controversy, the use of the word, and how people are just being extra right now. As usual, it's a funny one!

A lot of people aren't comfortable discussing money and finances, well we don't fall in that category. Now more than ever you should be focusing on getting your finances in order, because 2020 has been on one so far. Hopefully you can pull some tips from this episode to start getting your sh*t together. It took us some time to get it together, so be better than us!

Dealing with breakups is a part of life, almost like a rite of passage. Whether you've done the breaking up or been the one left in the cold, it sucks but it's a learning experience. Eventually you will get to a place where you can look back at the mess and laugh. Which is exactly what we do in this episode.

Letting go of the past is easier said than done, but it is something that each one of us has to go through. Don't hold on to people or things that no longer serve a positive purpose in your life. You have to make room for your personal growth, so some sh*t has to go!

Has anyone ever confronted you about "not being black enough", just because you may be a little different?! It has happened to us more times than we can count. So we decided to discuss it today, because we truly don't understand how that statement makes any sense.

Some of us are learning to give 0 fucks later in life (myself included) and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! It's all about weeding out the bullshit to identify what truly matters, and focus on that. Listen to how this has evolved over time for us, and hopefully it helps you realize what is really important to you.

Honestly, there are not enough words to describe the topic we are discussing today. So just listen to our personal thoughts on racial injustice, and how it is still very much alive in 2020. Change is coming!

Are you sick and tired of getting asked this question by family, or people you don't even know?! If so, join the club. We are just as annoyed by this as you are.

In today's show we're talking about mental health awareness, or the lack there of, in the black community. Mental health is an extremely touchy subject in our community and we feel it is important to share our personal experiences to hope help #breakthestigma. Take your mental health seriously guys and never be afraid to seek the support you need. Stay safe out there!
