The Perfect People Podcast is hosted by Auriel, Dee Dee, OG, Fraronda, and Quan. A group of friends that have come together to give insight into the many aspects that make us who we are as individuals and as a friend unit. We take you on this journey by exploring a plethora of mainstream topics and the things we hold near to us!
Happiness is defined and experienced based on the individual. We all need different things in order to call ourselves happy. Which then begs the question can we ever reach that pinnacle of happiness that we are always trying to seek. Do we even really know when we have reached happiness. Is the target constantly moving and the truth of the matter simply is we just can never be completely satisfied enough to call ourselves happy. In this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew explores all these questions and then a little more. First defining what happiness means to each of us and then ending with what our macro goals are that would lead to this elusive level of happiness. Seeking to do and be better while also recognizing our growth and extending ourselves grace when we sometimes fall down is common thread that seems to link our experiences together. As usual, the crew challenges one another, finds affinity with one another, and then finally works to hold one another accountable. Check out the episode to get the inside scoop and learn the crew just a little more deeply.
If we decide that marriage is what we want, then the in-laws do indeed come as a package deal. Some for the good and some for the not-so-good. But better or worse they are now part of your family. On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew discusses both the current place that in-laws have in the marriage and the desired place for in-laws in marriage. Going as deep as yeah, we are willing to be part of their care when they get older and as surface as, hey I want them to be active parts of our lives in some way shape, or form. Do boundaries have to exist in those relationships? If so, how do you set them and who is even responsible for setting them? Once again a very lively debate ensues as the crew talks through their individual wants and current realities when it comes to their current and or future in-laws. So, don’t miss this episode and once you have listened, please feel free to weigh in! We want to hear from you!!!
On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew discusses exes. When you break up or go your separate ways from your used-to-be significant other, can they and should they still have a place in your life? Some of us say, yes, minimally because there is no bad blood so it is possible to still have every now and then contact with them to acknowledge certain life events. Others, say absolutely NOT! The past is the past and that is where it should stay. Can you guess who said what? If not, tune in and see what the crew has to say about the exes and their experiences with their exes. If so, tune in to confirm whether or not you actually got it right, because you just might be shocked! But then again, you have spent time with us at this point, so you probably won’t be surprised at all! Still, it’s always good conversation, fun and games, all the laughs, and even the occasional aha or teaching moment that may just have you contemplating your own stance. Once you have listened let us know what you think, all contact info is below. Want to join the conversation? Email us at perfectpeoplepodcast@gmail.com
We all have roles to play in life, some for the good and some for the not-so-good. Some we choose and others are chosen for us. No matter what, there are always lessons learned and things that we have to face in order to grow as people. Can good people do bad things?! The answer is absolute! How do you find yourself part of relationships, situationships, and entanglements that are not meant to be? The answer is simple, the right set of circumstances will land you in just about anything if you are not consistently doing the self-work to do and be better. The crew is not exempt from this at all. We have done our fair share of dirt and found ourselves in positions we are not so proud of. Join us on this episode, alongside our guest from The Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf in the Building, as we get vulnerable and tell y’all just how we ended up being the extra or the accompaniment in relationships both voluntarily and involuntarily.

Hosts: O.G., Auri, Dee Dee, Froranda, and Quan Goal-setting is one of the trendiest topics in this day and age. With there being so many ways and so many options for how to both set and reach goals, who can ever keep up. On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast the crew discusses their process for setting goals. First, highlighting the things they are focusing on during this season in their lives, why they are focusing on those things, and then getting into how they are prioritizing those things in their lives. Like most things, the crew does not have a conventional approach to goal setting nor is the process the same for any one person. When you listen, you may even find that how they set and go about meeting their goals is in direct alignment with who they are as people. Seriousness mixed with a whole lot of craziness is what you are guaranteed to get any day and any time and this episode is no different! Sooooo, check out this episode of the Perfect People Podcast and tell us what you think about goal setting and what’s your process. We may need to learn a thing or two. Want to join the conversation?

Intimacy with relationships requires a level of trust and vulnerability that is not easy nor is it always fun. But when those barriers are broken and that next level is reached, unbreakable and impenetrable bonds are created. During this episode of the Perfece People Podcast, the crew explores the requirements and conditions that have to be set for them to get to that level of intimacy in their relationships. Not just talking about romantic relationships but also in friendships as well. All of it is a gamble and a choice that could lead to the most beautiful consequences OR the most devastating letdowns.

Host: Fraronda, O.G., Auri, Quan & Dee Dee Soooo, how are y’all out here checking folk that get out of line or that just need to be told a thing or two to be reminded of exactly who and whose you are?! On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew talks through their approaches to addressing conflict. Exploring several categories, family, friends, co-workers, etc, as we discuss first when we check people and then how we address the situation. You may be surprised to find out that we are not as confrontational as you would think in spite us always going back and forth with one another. Or maybe I should rephrase that, in spite of us all always going back and forth with OG. Of course, per usual, we go off on our little tangents that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic but once we get back to the topic at hand we give you a little more insider information on who we are and how we operate. Join us on this episode and determine whether or not the revelations revealed were surprising or exactly what you thought about us! Want to join the conversation?

Hosts: Dee Dee, Auri, Fraronda, O.G., and Quan Advice and opinions are a natural part of everyone’s lives, whether solicited or unsolicited, but we also have the very powerful choice of choosing what we do with those opinions and thah advice. On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew discusses who they seek advice from, how they decide what they will do with that advice, and their thoughts and feelings about how people perceive them. No matter how hard we think we are, we all on some level care about how others view us and our choices. We also have to recognize that we represent more than just ourselves in many cases so our choices do not just effect us. But at the end of the day, what we do with what others think about us, say about us, and how they advise us it is up to us to situate those things for ourselves and work in the best interest of our own lives. Join us as we talk through our individual processes and come to some startling conclusions on this very opinionated episode of the Perfect People Podcast. Want to join the conversation?

It’s a delicate balancing act but it can in fact be done. As you all know, each of the crew members have been single for different amounts of time, with some of them holding very serious relationships during the span of our friendship, and Auri being the only married person of the friend group. With circumstances consistently changing and us evolving as people it is no wonder that relationship statuses will also be amongst the things that will force us to continue to develop an ongoing understanding of what it means to maintain a friend group. Introverts, extroverts, expectations, obligations, responsibilities, and so much more shift when significant others are part of the mix, but one thing that the Perfect People Podcast crew has committed to maintaining is the glue that holds us all together.

The old saying goes, “Oh, I fell in love”...insinuating that there was no choice in the matter at all. On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew explores LOVE! How do we come to be in love and how do we come to stay in love. Do we really just fall into it, or is it an active choice that each of us has to make each and every day that we decide to be with someone. If love is an action word, and actions are a series of choices that we make, it could be argued that we choose the act of loving. Check out the varying perspectives of the crew and how we are all enlightened by the take and understanding of love based on our experiences. Sometimes love has felt like something that was done to us versus something we were actively participating in. Who do you think believes what and how do you think they have come to believe those things, chime in and respond using one of the platforms listed below. Want to join the conversation?

So, at this point, we have all heard the now-famous graceful “clap back” given to Wendy William by Tabitha Brown. Wendy decided to offer her opinion on Tab and Chance’s (Tab’s husband) decision to retire Chance from the LAPD calling it “a recipe for disaster”. In this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew discusses their thoughts around the situation and whether or not Wendy really had the right to even speak her opinion on their decision. With some help from our guest, B-Eazy from the DJ Blaze show, the foursome dives deep into the ins and outs of the debacle and explore things like was Wendy warranted an opinion, should Tab have “clapped back” whether it was graceful or not, would we retire our own spouses, where exactly was Wendy coming from when she offered her thoughts and the rise of Tab to stardom. As always, the crew each offers their unique perspectives steeped in their different experiences.

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G Givers, Takers, Askers, Matchers, and Oh it’s Strategic Too. On this week’s episode, each of these is discussed by the crew. Placing themselves and one another in each of these categories, this conversation takes another deep dive into who the PPP crew is and how they operate. It isn’t always easy being a giver and sometimes it’s hard to recognize when that’s not all you are. But part of being in a healthy relationship and setting healthy boundaries is knowing what you need and don’t need to be able to function in whatever capacity necessary. This week the crew discusses all of that and how it shows up in their own friend group. They also take some time to think about how they could potentially do and be better for one another to make things work a little better. As usual, while they are so very similar in most things, they have vastly different ways of showing up even if they all can call themselves givers. But at the end of the day, they accept one another, flaws and all, and deal with what they have to deal with to keep the friendship flame alive and burning. Make sure to tune into this week’s episode to get into the nitty-gritty of things and be entertained by the functioning dysfunction that is the Perfect People Podcast Crew!

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G So, you already know this crew is the best at giving all the opinions in the world. And just in case you didn’t know, now you do, and there is no need to dispute us because we are always right! LOL! On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast we talk about the most universal subject out there, music. The best genre, the best decade, the best artist, and all of the memories associated with each of those things. You can choose to agree or disagree with our take on things, bottom line is we are still right, even though we do a bit of agreeing and disagreeing with one another ourselves. Check out this episode to find out exactly what our musical tastes are because you know what they say, you can tell a lot about a person based on the music they listen to. We also want you all to chime into the conversation, whose side are you really on?! Who indeed out of us has the best musical taste?! Want to join the conversation?

Hosts: Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G Coping through tough situations is something that we all must do at some point in time in life. Whether it be from a relationship, death, financial hardships, etc., there comes a time when we have to do what we can to move through the situations that life will inevitably throw our way. How we cope says a lot about us but it is also very dependent on our life experiences. We all know there are healthy and unhealthy ways of coping, and it becomes a choice for each of us which path we will decide to take. The old adage, when you know better, you do better, begins to ring loudly when thinking about the varying shifts that may happen in how we cope as we grow older and wiser. In this episode, the crew explores those facets, giving their take on how they would cope in unconventional relationship curveballs and moving to how they cope through the death of loved ones. As always, we bring our own unique perspectives and different vantage points to the conversation, with there being some disagreement on exactly how we should cope through some situations. OG, lays her very personal feelings out there, and we give our take and opinion, and the conversation simply flows from there.

Hosts: Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G We all have our fathers when it comes to most things in life. Light skin, dark skin, thick, skinny, tall, short, can dress, is able to pass. All of that matters until it doesn’t. According to the hosts of the Perfect People Podcast, what you thought you wanted is not always what you end up with and that is not at all a terrible thing. Then on the flip side simply settling because there seems to be no other option is not the business at all. So, what’s the balance between standards and the superficial. Does it all really matter or are we just out here frivolously deciding on things that at the end of the day won’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. But, no matter how much we tell ourselves to relax and let go, there has to be a bar, and that’s ok, too. Figuring out where to compromise and where to hold firm is the name of the game. In this episode, the hosts explore their own types, how they have evolved, how they have remained the same, and what exactly they have gotten out of the deal in the end. Check out this episode for a glimpse into their types and how they have all come to be! Want to join the conversation? Email us at perfectpeoplepodcast@gmail.com

Well, our take on the game is no different. Join us as we take a deep dive into some lighthearted things that we have done or maybe we haven’t (who knows!) and the more intense situations we have found ourselves in. Per usual, we lay it all out there, flaws and all. The Perfect People just may have some imperfect skeletons in the closet. So, check out this episode to find out just what those things are and how the things we have and have not done in our past and present currently affect how we live and operate today. You have become family, so we want to bring you further into the fold of what exactly makes us tick. Don’t worry there are the normal aspects of craziness in the mix as well! Who would we be if we did not spend some time getting off-topic, throwing shade, and just downright giving each other a hard time.

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G What’s your vote? Cuddling vs. Not Cuddling -- both in general and after sex. Public Displays of Affection (PDA) vs. Not at ALL. Texting vs Talking in Person. During initial dating, do you prefer a one on one setting or a group setting? As you know we are highly opinionated people with a whole lot of preferences, and this episode is no different. Join us on this episode of the Perfect People Podcast to find out what we prefer, why we prefer it, and how we prefer it. Surprisingly enough, we are not as different as you probably would think in our responses. Hey, that may very well be the reason we work. We are different and similar where and when it matters most. The ying to one another’s yang if you will. Oh, and just as a disclaimer, there is a whole lot of silliness and dysfunction that occurs before we get down to business. As you know we can never do anything in a completely serious manner and this is no different. So, come on, and make sure you do not miss out on this hilarious, intriguing, interesting, and insightful episode of the Triple P! Want to join the conversation?

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, things get interesting when the hosts take a deep dive into polamouros relationships. Could they do it? How would they do it? And, what would be the rules of engagement, are just some of the questions that are tackled during this week’s episode. As you know, there always has to be one that does not agree to shake things up and keep things interesting. But, you may be surprised at just who is open to the possibilities. On this episode, we have another special feature from B-Eazy from the DJ Blaze Show, holding down the male perspective, and boy what an enlightening perspective it is.

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G Sex! Is it really all that complicated or do we make it so? On this episode we have a special guest, B-Eazy from the DJ Blaze Show, representing the male perspective as we try to get to the bottom of number one, is sex complicated, and number two, if sex is complicated what exactly makes it so complicated.

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G No matter how progressive the times, gender roles will forever be part of the conversation when deciding who is responsible for what in relationships. In this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew discusses what their ideal roles consist of within their relationships. Some thoughts are traditional and some defy tradition, but whatever the case it is apparent that the more things change the more things stay the same. Even in non-traditional relationships, there inevitably comes a point both through discussion and naturally where things fall into place, and people are tasked and expected to perform certain duties to keep the relationship moving forward. From finances to who will take out the trash, it all has to be decided, and because the crew is made up of a married couple, a same-sex couple, and single people, as any listener can imagine, idealism and reality often do not converge. Auriel aka Auri being representative of the married couple talks a lot about communication being key, and Dee Dee speaks about there needing to not be such rigidity in the willingness to do things because roles can and should change depending on what is going on within the relationship. No matter where a person falls on the gender roles spectrum, at the end of the day, for there to be a healthy and thriving relationship, everyone has to pull their weight and if things change, it is important to have the conversation to make the necessary adjustments as to keep moving forward in the relationship.

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G Really and truly knowing someone can potentially be one of the hardest things to do in this day and time. Between all of the competing priorities that is life and all of the outside factors that can get in the way, getting to know someone can sometimes be daunting and feeling like you know someone can feel impossible. From the starter question of, is it possible to really know someone, to the last question of what do you do with that knowledge as people continue to evolve and even sometimes reinvent themselves. The crew has the conversation around how they have experienced getting to know people and being later disappointed when they found out that person was simply their representative, and even further, knowing someone and handling the disappointment of them becoming someone they did not expect by staying stagnate or digressing rather than progressing. Because of these experiences, they hold their friendships with one another very dear and have also decided that there will probably be no additions because people just simply cannot be trusted. It’s hard! But there is sometimes a great reward when the decision is made to take the risk. Loving people, liking people, and being with people means accepting flaws and all, right? But what if the flaw was unexpected and was not part of the get to know you stage. Do you stay or do you go? Tune in and see which of the flaws are not acceptable for the Perfect People Podcast Crew and which ones they may be willing to stay around and help their loved ones through. Because at the end of the day, knowing someone does not necessarily mean, you know every single thing about them. Which, then brings back the question, can you truly know someone?

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G Exclusivity seems to be one of the hardest and yet most sought-after concepts in the world. With there being so many perspectives, so many possibilities, and so many directions, who can ever really for real figure it out. Even in the midst of the conversation with the crew, there is plenty of variances and in some areas, not even a consensus. Different strokes for different folks! But one thing that permeated throughout the conversation was that there has to be communication. The breakdown and heartbreak come when partners are simply not on the same page. The conversation is scary and sometimes even seems impossible because who isn’t afraid of rejection! But at the end of the day, for a relationship to be a relationship and not serial dating or a situationship, someone has to be willing to have the conversation. Check out this episode to see where the crew lands in their thinking around exclusivity. But first, can we even say the word right?!

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G Advice giving can be rather tricky and when you add the crew in the mix things get even more complicated. So many factors to consider and oh yeah the personalities play a part too. Everyone at some point in time has given advice whether solicited or unsolicited and on this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew takes a look at varying vantage points when it comes to both giving and receiving advice. The discussion goes into how the crew themselves feel about receiving advice from one another and outsiders. They even give a little insight on who they go to for advice and when. Nothing is ever done by accident if you haven’t discovered that yet when it comes to the crew and advice is not any different. Join the conversation and see whether or not you agree with the various stances of the crew or is it like usual and we are just in a league all by ourselves. Even if that’s what you decide the crew will totally understand. Like, Comment, Review, Subscribe and 5 Star Rate Want to join the conversation? Email us at perfectpeoplepodcast@gmail.com

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G Consistent or free-spirited...that is the question! Joined by one of the Relationship Status Podcast co-hosts Yusuf in the BUILDING, the crew has a discussion about the pros and cons of being consistent or free-spirited. Using their personal life experiences to first determine where they land on the spectrum, and then discussing how it both works and doesn’t work for each of them. A balance is necessary but not always the case and as a result, there are some instances where one doesn’t work over the other. Discussing how it works in personal relationships, in professions, and in recreational parts of life, the crew offers their opinions and their outlook on each of the sides. Per usual, even when there are commonalities amongst the crew there are also vast differences that completely make up the attributes. Tune in to the conversation and figure out where each of the crew stands on the issue at hand and how it all came to be.
Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G Truth vs. Honesty, who ever even thought of there being a difference? Well apparently there is! Listen to this week’s episode to hear the crew’s stance on the two sides and where they personally feel they land. This conversation is filled with the crew’s own truths and personal anecdotes from one another about each other, that support how they operate in their everyday lives with the people who they have to deal with on a consistent basis. As always, through laughter and some introspection the crew has a very eye opening conversation around truth vs. honesty. In the end they establish that there is indeed a difference. They even discover that how they personally orient absolutely does directly affect how others are able to interact with them in some of the most important situations they have or will encounter in life. Giving it to you real and raw, the crew tells all and even walks away knowing themselves and each other a little better than when they entered the conversation.
Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G On this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, Auriel aka Auri, brings her school to the crew. Asking 3 distinct questions, what does happiness mean to you?, Is happiness having what you want, or wanting what you have?, and Is it possible to be too happy?...the crew has an in-depth discussion about happiness and their relationship to it. Though, they have vastly different perspectives as well as having experienced happiness in different ways, the crew is able to agree that how they have come to think about happiness has evolved over time. With age comes maturity and wisdom and what once made them happy is not necessarily what is currently making them happy. Listen to the episode and then tell us what you think. Using this Google Form, give us your insight into the three questions that were discussed during this episode of the Perfect People Podcast.

Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G During this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew talks about their approach to conflict and conflict resolution. The conversation quickly comes to a place where the crew has to acknowledge that their ways of dealing with conflict may not be the healthiest nor the most effective. BUT, within that realization, there has been tremendous growth and maturity over the years. Although the crew handles conflict in vastly different ways, there is one thing they all have in common, the shade is always going to be real when it is warranted. Through lots of laughter and humor, and of course, some bits of getting off task, the group takes an individual and group perspective around conflict, what they are doing well, what they are trying to improve, and the things they have to accept about one another and others have to accept about them.
Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G During this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew has a conversation about what it means to be a good person. Using themselves and their own good and bad deeds as jumping off points, the conversation smoothly flows into who or what determines whether someone is good or bad. Taking it a step further, the conversation then examines situations where we would or would not step up as “good” people, why we would or would not, and the potential repercussions of us choosing to step up or not step up. Good people do indeed do bad things, but what is the point of no return and is there such a thing as redemption. The discussion then segways into varying tv shows as examples of how people’s morality or lack thereof is seen or can be seen by other people. What one person may see as a bad person, someone else may see as a good person. Everything depends on perception and the parts of the person that is presented. Depending on what is at stake, there is always the potential for good people to do bad things, and for bad people to do good things. What is the motivation and the intention? Eventually the co-hosts arrive at the realization that no matter if you determine someone as good or bad, people all have elements of good and bad in them.
Hosts: Quan, Dee Dee, Fraronda, Auri, & O.G During this episode of the Perfect People Podcast, the crew explores the different facets of dysfunction that make up their friend group and their personal lives. In this deeply personal conversation each individual shares their take on how dysfunction thrives and persists in the world, we live in today, naming things like generational curses and trauma, societal backing, not having role models, etc. There is also discussion around personal experiences with dysfunction within the friend group and outside the friend group, including what it is looking like on the other side, how we are getting to the other side, and what we need to do to get to the other side. This “spiritual journey” that each of us is on is not easy, but as long as we have company as we discover ourselves, our purpose, and our gifts...all things are made better. We have committed to standing ten toes down no matter what comes our way and that is evident in this healing, enlightening, and even humorous conversation about the dysfunction, and for us particularly, it being just a little bit okay.
