 My girl Shady J is back to discuss ageism in relationships and how women get called "cougars" when men seem to be able to date a woman any age without any judgement. This episode explores how women's clocks always seem to be ticking when it comes to relationships, careers, and having children. We need to just hit the snooze button and go on a girl's trip to Jamaica like Stella! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/janay-frank/message

This episode pays homage to the cult classic Black romance movie Love Jones. I get a chance to interview Mr. Heffner- not Hugh Hefner! This Mr. Heffner is entirely different in that he takes his marriage of 17 years extremely seriously and has a very modern spin on gender roles within the marriage, but definitely an old fashion take on what it takes to make a marriage and/or relationship successful. We discuss what men want, but more importantly what they don't want too! This is all about finding the "One" for you! Your person is out there- time to go get 'em! Make sure to subscribe!!!

Calling all my single ladies to help answer a question. Does it matter what generation you're from in regards to what women want in relationships? Whether you're Generation X, a Millennial, Generation Z, or even a Baby Boomer- do we all pretty much want the same things out of relationships or is it vastly different? In this episode, I interview a single lady who knows exactly what she wants and isn't willing to settle. The more things change in life- the more things stay the same.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/janay-frank/message

In this episode, I call my girlfriend "Shady J" and discuss the cheating scandal that just broke a fews days ago involving the "relationship guru" Derrick "dirty-dog" Jaxn. The irony of this particular scandal that makes it worse than others is the fact that this man has built his career on teaching women how to spot a narcissist and get out of bad and unfaithful relationships- all the while he has been "entangled" in many affairs while being married.  Please SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW!
