This is the mental release of the every day struggles for two hosts learning about love and life the hard way. We are sometimes debatable, but often relatable. Tune in every Wednesday for a new story, a new struggle, and a lot of life lessons!
We are nearing the arrival of Baby Bean & AP has some questions before the big day! She asks questions on what to expect after expecting to her not expert co-host who is nine years deep into motherhood. This episode is for all the expectant and new parents who want the not-so-textbook answers.
Dating nowadays seems to lack the urge to wait. The female standard has now merged with the male standard and we are all hopping in the sack. Remember when there was a three month rule? No? Just us. Ok!
Some believe that the pandemic has robbed those between the ages of 18-25 of their adult life experiences. They're not getting the real college & club life. They're missing out on their life lessons & drunken arrests. But are they really the ones who are suffering? Are they just not making the best out of an unfortunate situation?
Do you think it's necessary to discuss your ex with your new beau? AP says that this is an important step in finding out who you're dealing with while B. Camille remains indecisive. What's your take?
The social media world has made it easy to create role models & influencers. But are they always the best people to look up to? Is it their responsibility to be a role model? Does this role automatically come with the territory? Let's talk about it!
Before you all start those businesses & spend those Stimmies, let's talk about some etiquette...
We brought everyone together for a final head to head. There were some things that were said on the other episodes that we needed to clear up. So why not just have everyone on one episode. Let's just say things get interesting...
Last week is the was queens. This week we are talking to our kings. It gets really real in this episode! Our panel of men definitely didn't hold back. There was lots of laughs and even more knowledge.
It's a question that is always asked and it seems like we've come to a conclusion. Listen in as we discuss some of the comments that came in. We also did a build a boo!
It was a rough week for us. So we had a mental breakdown. We did what friends do & talk it out.
I always wondered why they called it Twitter fingers when most shit-talkers appear on Facebook and IG... anyway. This week we talk about the bullies & the gangsters behind keyboards. We try to figure out why are people like this and it all seems to boil down to one thing...TIME.
We talk about the effects that the pandemic has had on us thus far. Mentally it has been rough which is why it's important to check up on your friends. We reminisce on the good times and bad times. But we plan on getting through this!
This week we sat down with Reece to talk about her Covid-birthed business, Ahh! Sugga Sugga. Her cupcakes have quickly become a hit because of her unique flavor combinations & the infamous "black box". Learn more about this delicious business, but more importantly support her by going to Shawn Reece on facebook to place an order!
We wanted to get a head start on preparing for our dirty thirties. What a better way to do it than to speak to someone who has been there & done that? We asked some questions and got some very REAL answers. The best way to learn in life is through experience, so we listened in on the experiences of one listener and got advice on some big topics.
Toxic Masculinity has effected many people around the world. Sometimes men are unaware that they posses the traits of toxmac (a new word we created). So we got some input from our listeners and decided to talk about it. We hope that the men respond or just give us some input on what it is like to feel the pressures of toxmac. Until then, we will start the conversation...
We get into the day & life of young 211. He tells us all about his journey of getting his life together and putting his energy into his music. Please be sure to support this young artist on all platforms!
Moving on is never easy, no matter what the situation is. Getting to the point & making that decision is big. When you do, you will be proud of yourself. It is an important part of life & timing is everything. If you stay too long, you may never leave. Leave too soon, you might miss out on a key part of growth. At the end of the day, getting to where you need to be is most important.
Being petty is an art sometimes. We come up with ways to get back at someone. The gesture could be big or small. Whatever you did, I hope it was worth it. There are people who have taken the fun out of being petty. Unfortunately, people use there children, family, and friends to get back at one another. This is when being petty is just not ok. But we will get into it...
Fish bowl topic! At the end of each month, we pull a topic from the fish bowl and do story time. This week's topic: Name a time when you should've snitched on someone, but you didn't.
There are two different types of people in this world; one who can hear others opinions and embrace it or one who can never see the other side of things and is married to their own opinion. We have all been guilty of being both, but at some point we need to realize how much energy we would save if we just agreed to disagree. It would be such a simple life.
We are starting to see a trend of what is expected from the non-custodial parent. Some women expect cars, houses, bills to be paid, and not have to work a day in their life because they have a child. Some expect that it is the responsibility of the other parent to care for the household even when they don't live there. Doing what is best for the child is quickly forgotten when money is involved.
In every relationship, we always promote balance. One thing you can't help is having balance in the bank accounts. It's inevitable. Even though being a stay-at-home anything is a full time job, it doesn't bring in any money. This is where things get a little tricky. Let's talk about it!
We sat down with Jamilah Damiani to talk about her business MADE. She has always wanted to start something of her own. With the right support, a business plan, and her husband by her side, she made it happen! We talk about the ups and downs of starting/owning a business. She give great advice and is all around inspiring, Her website will be launched later this month but you can still purchase through IG & Facebook. IG: made_artisan_mktplc Facebook: MADE. Artisan Marketplace
In the time of technology, we are all so accessible to anyone and anything. We try, but sometimes fail to protect the children in this heavy social media age. Children are coming up missing left and right with no real explanation. Even the media chooses to ignore this issue. As parents, we must do our part. To some, it's all innocent but is it?
At what point in the relationship do you allow family members to give their opinions? When do you consider their feelings? Sometimes they only see the half of it. They judge off of the few minutes/hours spent with your significant other. So, are their judgments valid?
Entitlement has become another thing of 2020 that just won't go away. When those who feel entitled lash out and throw tantrums, others record and sometime instigate for laughs. There is a name for those people: Karen. Now this is nothing new, but it seems to be happening more often than usual. We talk about how to spot a Karen and what should be done if approached by one. Also, look up #karensgonewild on Twitter. You won't be disappointed.
It is the most overused word in 2020 and we just discovered it last month. During our break some crazy things happened but this one stood out to us the most: The infamous August & Jada entanglement. Now some people are quick to judge, but we think the situation really needs to be broken down for some to understand. There are people taking sides without looking at the whole picture. At the end of the day, we've all been in an entanglement or two...
Remember when your s/o asked you the question: if me & your best friend were drowning who would you save? Awkward right? We discuss the power of the best friend especially when it is the opposite sex. At what point is it considered insecure? They had to have had feelings for each other at some point right? Let's discuss!
You know OnlyFans is a big deal when Beyoncé puts it in her lyrics. This pandemic was the best thing that has ever happened to the creators of OnlyFans because everyone is running to the site to get some extra money. This episode we discuss what would happen if we found our significant other had a page without our knowledge.
Toxic relationships seems to be the norm these days and we're here to let you know....THAT AIN'T IT. Toxic relationships can lead to so many damaging things. So listen up while we drop a couple gems!
We've all been there..well most of us. We've had that one person where the relationship was never defined. All we knew was that we were gettin busy in the sheets. Someone's feelings get hurt, followed by a lot of toxic actions. It's ok, let's talk about it!
Everyone has their dealbreakers when it comes to a relationship. This week we touch on whether race, social status, money, & family are a dealbreaker in relationship. All of these things have a potential to cause conflict, but can you stand the rain?
Of course we've all done things in high school that make us cringe when we think of it now. You can't help but think of the what if's and the different paths we could've taken. Join us for a trip down memory lane as we laugh and cry over fun times
We switched things up this week and invited the siblings of B. Camille to join us! We started with the topic of the rules of a relationship when it comes to sex, but quickly switched it up to all of the crazy girls that they deal with! When dealing with crazy, instead of leaving, they'd rather try to control the cray. Needless to say that never works, but listen as they try to justify themselves.
Friends...how many of us have them? There are many situations that we see on social media and can't help to think “where is this persons friends? Why would they allow them to do that?” Some people would say “that's their business”, but at what point do you step in. Friends have a responsibility and we're here to explain what that responsibility is because some of y'all have been slacking!
Through casual conversation and a to show, we've found that people actually schedule sex. But how does that work? Does it make it awkward? Does it give you something to look forward to? But, more importantly, why? We try to figure it out, I think we've come to the conclusion that we can't do it.
Ugh! There's nothing going on in the world except people experiencing anxiety and sometimes for the very first time. It's causing some major stupidity (even worse than last week). We didn't even want to talk about this again but what else is there? We're all quarantined and terrified.
In the beginning, having access to the news as quickly as we do was a blessing. Now, it is a curse. The media has a way of causing mass hysteria. You'd think after everything that we have lived through, some would learn that we can'y believe everything we read. We should only be looking at the cold hard facts. Recently, the Corona Virus has some stuck on stupid and we are tired of it! We had to set y'all straight, so enjoy!
The title alone should be enough of a description. We think it all the time, but who is to blame? The parents? The internet? The village? We need to talk about this and change it!
This week we debate on whether it's better to be approached in person or online. We are definitely divided on this topic! What is your preference when asking someone for a date or for their phone number?
So we got you to loving yourself and to the date. But what about when you've been ghosted? We share our tragic ghosting stories and tell you how to get over such a thing. But, along with ghosting, we briefly go over cat fishing. Something we should've left in 2019...
Last week we had y'all loving yourself, this week we are getting you ready for that first date. Just in time for Valentine's Day! We have some horror stories of our own, but we want to make sure you have the perfect night with your potential future. Just call us Hitch...
We are starting a love series for the month of February! Of course we had to start with self love because if you can't love yourself, how are you going to love someone else? It ain't easy, just like any other relationship but you have to make it work!
We have a new black owned business on the rise and we can't be more excited! Our girl Ambi has started her own business offering Doula services. In this interview, she breaks down what a doula is, the services she provides, and the necessity of having one by your side. If you're planning on starting a family or expanding your family, this is the episode for you!
In this episode finish our random talk and get right into the rants. Again, no tea, no shade! We laugh through the pain that we've endured in our past, but look at us now!
It's a group chat! We have 3 guest co-hosts with us doing some random talk with a twist. Listen closely for the shade & all the tea! We may have had a little bit too much to drink but it's for your entertainment!
In this very goofy episode we dive in on when it's time to start cutting people off. This is the year of growth and sometimes we just outgrow people. We're here to tell you how to do just that...no tea, no shade.
It is time to bring in the New Year! We reflect on our past resolutions and how they have failed or succeeded us and look at our new goals coming in 2020. We want to thank everyone for listening and being with us on this journey. 2019 has brought us the Raw Fam and 2020 will help us grow our family! Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
There seems to be a word that is thrown on a name when someone famous dies. “Legend”. For some reason when a well known person passes away, they are automatically considered a legend without putting in the work of a true legend. This makes us further look into the passing of a recent celeb and the mental issues he encountered. While offering advice to our listeners on how to cope through the holidays.
We've all had good and bad experiences when it comes to the hanky panky. The good times are memorable, but the bad times are embedded in our brains. The question is..do you tell the other person about the horrible experience?
Have you ever done anything that should have gotten you fired?! Come listen to this Raw Rant where you can hear all about it!
