Most all of us like to be nice, but some people just feel like they were born to help others. They'll take any chance to provide assistance, big or small – unasked for (and, often, unthanked…) While being helpful is a good thing, it can also evolve into a people-pleasing attitude that can have surprisingly negative effects on the helper themselves (and sometimes even the people being “helped”!) So let's take a closer look at what's really going on with Helpers and People-Pleasers, what makes them different, the problems they can encounter, and what we can really learn from these tropes. Unpacking the difference between the Helper Trope and People-Pleaser Trope on screen, people who are forced to be helpers, the *negative* side effects that can come from being a people-pleaser, and beyond. Featuring Parks and Recreation's Leslie Knope, Black-ish's Rainbow Johnson, New Girl's Jess Day, Shōgun's Toda Mariko, Friends' Monica Geller, Superstore's Amy Sosa, and more! We take a look at people pleaser syndrome / why some people are people-pleasers, what a people-pleaser is, how it's different from just being a helpful person, and how being a people-pleaser can cause you problems Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we celebrate Mother's Day! We talk about our own moms and how they inspired us. Chris and James also share how their wives are also inspiring as mothers. We then launch into spotlighting our list of great pop culture moms. The show derails at the end and turns into an episode about The Batman, but we end strong, wishing all moms a very Happy Mother's Day. 00:00 We start the show by sharing memories we have about our own mothers and the influence they have had on us. Chris and James also talk about how they admire their wives as mothers. 16:20 We start our discussion of pop culture moms, moms of superheroes, moms who are superheroes, and moms in movies and TV. We mention Martha Kent, Aunt May, Ellen Ripley, Susan Richards, Rainbow Johnson, Edith Bunker and many many more. 1:06:40 We wrap up the show with our recommendations. This leads to a massive derailment when James mentions that he recently watched The Batman and our Mother's Day Special turns into a review of the movie.

In my notes I had this episode titled "Natural Births" and C-Section Births. Then I realized, what makes the birth more natural? Just because the baby came out of your vajajay? Mine still exited my body, I just required assistance. Also, why is there a stigma over c-section births? Why do people think they're the "easy way"? As you'll find out from our discussion, whether your offspring enters the world through the birth canal or you undergo surgery, there's swearing, pain, after care, and all the hormones....it's never easy. No matter what your birth plan is, you have to be prepared for anything. If you have a child, what was your birth story? Why do you think there's judgement towards c-sections? Did you experience any difficulties either during or after? Let us know your experiences on our socials or write to us at momvoicepod@gmail.com. Our mom this week is RAINBOW JOHNSON from the show, Black-ish.

It's Emmy season! Bullseye brings you two talented, fascinating Emmy nominees this week. First up: Megan Mullally! One of the best in the game. Like, maybe you're a fan of Parks and Recreation. She played Tammy, the ex-wife of Ron Swanson. She's a kind of menacing, toxic seductress. Or maybe you saw her on Childrens Hospital, or 30 Rock, or heard her on Bob's Burgers (she plays Gayle). But, she's best known for her role as Karen Walker on the groundbreaking sitcom Will & Grace. She was just nominated for what could end up being her *third* Emmy for her role on the show. Then, a special treat: Karen Tongson, professor and panelist on our sister show Pop Rocket, talks with the one and only Tracee Ellis Ross. Tracee is nominated in the best actress category for her role on ABC's Blackish - she plays Rainbow Johnson (aka Bow) on the show. She and Karen go deep into her work acting and directing Blackish. Plus, her relationship with her mom... Diana Ross. Diana Ross! Finally, Jesse tells you about one of the most charming people who ever lived. And she's got a book and documentary to prove it.

In this episode, we get right into our interview with Dr. Rainbow Barris, who is the inspiration behind the character Rainbow Johnson on ABCs hit show 'Black-ish' and author of Keeping Up With the Johnson's - Bow's Guide to Black-ish Parenting. It's hard enough to maintain a healthy lifestyle period - let alone as wife of Kenya Barris, being a medical doctor and raising six children! But Barris has found what works for her and wants to encourage other women balancing family and career to find what works uniquely for them! Plus, we talk about the show, the Barris' recent $1 million donation to Clark Atlanta University, and what life is like for her now. Don't miss this!

First Hand First Look..."black-ish": Wednesdays, 9:30-10:00 p.m. ABC's new family comedy, "black-ish," takes a fun yet bold look at one man's determination to establish a sense of cultural identity for his family. The series stars Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and special guest star Laurence Fishburne. Like any parents, Andre "Dre" (Anthony Anderson) and Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) Johnson want to give their children the best. But their offspring's childhood is turning out to be much different than theirs. They now realize at least two things: there is a price to pay for giving their children more than what they ever had, and these loving parents are totally unprepared for the fallout. Dre considers himself the family patriarch and when he looks at his life - he sees a beautiful wife and four kids living happily in their colonial home in the 'burbs. But when he looks a little closer -- have the trappings of success brought too much assimilation for this black family? The world he sees has a much different lens than the one he would like his family to look through. Jade Harrell with creator Kenya Barris in an enlightening and candid conversation about this colorful new series. In this episode you will find out: * Why Kenya chose the name black-ish * Why he wouldn't change the name despite the backlash. * What statement Kenya is trying to make? * Why are some people offput before previewing the program? * Is Kenya trying to define what black IS? * How is black culture handled in black society. * How "black-ish" is just as much about socio-economics as it is race. *What is the BIG part of the purpose of the show that hits close to home? "black-ish" stars Anthony Anderson as Andre "Dre" Johnson, Tracee Ellis Ross as Rainbow Johnson, Yara Shahidi as Zoey Johnson, Marcus Scribner as Andre Johnson, Jr., Miles Brown as Jack Johnson, Marsai Martin as Diane Johnson and special guest star, Laurence Fishburne. "black-ish" was created by Kenya Barris and is executive-produced by Barris, Larry Wilmore, Anthony Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Helen Sugland and E. Brian Dobbins. The series is produced by ABC Studios.
