In this powerful episode of Culture Uncut Podcast, DJ Nova Fresh and Trey dive headfirst into some of the most layered conversations of the season.

Send us a textThe technological revolution isn't coming—it's already here, dismantling traditional business models and reshaping our economic landscape before our eyes. McKinsey's recent firing of 10% of its workforce, openly blaming AI disruption, signals a profound shift that extends far beyond consultancies.This episode dives deep into how artificial intelligence is fundamentally altering employment prospects across all sectors. Bill Gates predicts 80% of job losses within a decade, making it essential to understand how these changes will affect your career trajectory—regardless of your industry or position. We explore practical ways to position yourself ahead of this technological wave rather than being swept away by it.The racial dimension of technological change cannot be ignored, as evidenced by Google's $50 million settlement for bias claims and a shocking LinkedIn experiment where a Black woman changed her profile picture to that of a white woman named "Emily"—immediately receiving interview opportunities previously denied to her. These revelations expose the systemic biases being encoded into the very algorithms meant to streamline hiring processes.For working parents, particularly mothers, the post-pandemic push to return to office-based work adds yet another layer of complexity in an already challenging economic environment. The dismantling of flexible working arrangements disproportionately impacts women who often serve as primary caregivers, forcing many skilled professionals out of the workforce entirely.From HMRC's plans to tax interest on savings accounts to the European pharmacy advantages discovered during a Paris trip, this episode offers practical insights for navigating financial challenges in what increasingly feels like a financial police state. The conversation wraps with a comprehensive update on the Diddy trial, examining the testimony and implications of this high-profile case.Understand the forces reshaping our economic reality and equip yourself with the knowledge to thrive rather than merely survive in this rapidly evolving landscape.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star

What happens when empathy isn't a superpower—but a silent trap? In this heart-tugging, brain-sparking episode of Life as P..., Phoenix Ash holds nothing back. From the silent tug-of-war between empathy and self-preservation to the unexpected guilt of breaking up with the “perfect-on-paper” partner, this episode unpacks the emotional gymnastics many of us perform just to keep others comfortable. She's getting real about how being the “safe place” can become unsafe for you—and why letting go doesn't always mean giving up. Expect sharp self-reflection, dating drama with a moral compass, and that Phoenix-level maturity check we all secretly need. Bonus? She's got updates on her latest audiobook drop and more from her collection that'll have you screaming “TAKE MY MONEY.” Craving clarity with a side of soul food? This one's for you.

Have you ever found yourself in the same toxic patterns—different people, but the same pain? In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Keyleigh Clarkson, a therapist who brings both professional training and lived experience to the conversation around toxic relationships, trauma, and healing.  From growing up in an unstable household to dating emotionally unavailable partners, Keyleigh shares how she broke the cycle of pain and reclaimed her self-worth. Together, Debi and Keyleigh explore the psychological roots of toxic relationship patterns, the impact of trauma on the nervous system, and—most importantly—how we can begin to heal.   

In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most honest lessons I had to learn through the unraveling of both my personal and professional life. I read an excerpt from my upcoming book, a moment that captures the reality of losing what I thought I needed and learning to stand on my own. This chapter is messy, vulnerable, and painfully relatable. If you've ever found yourself starting from scratch, questioning your strength, or wondering how the hell you're going to rebuild... this one's for you.

Join us as we engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Stacey Womack, the visionary founder and executive director of Abuse Recovery Ministry and Services (ARMS). Stacey shares her invaluable insights into domestic violence intervention programs, shedding light on how these initiatives aim to help individuals, primarily men, recognize and change abusive behaviors by altering their underlying belief systems. We address prevalent misconceptions about abusers, emphasizing that domestic violence cuts across socioeconomic, racial, and religious lines. Stacey also outlines the various pathways individuals take to enter these programs, noting that a significant portion are court-ordered, while others are motivated by family or community encouragement. Our discussion underscores the importance of accountability and prioritizing victim safety within these interventions, revealing the complexities of fostering change in individuals who may not initially see themselves as the problem.Additionally, we explore the dynamics of male-female co-facilitation in domestic violence programs, particularly in Oregon, highlighting the benefits of presenting both masculine and feminine perspectives in therapeutic settings. By modeling healthy relationships and shared power, facilitators provide participants with a balanced partnership example. Our conversation delves into the challenges and indicators of progress among group members, stressing the importance of accountability and recognizing personal choices in behavior. Stacey explains the structure and duration of these programs, which typically last around 48 weeks, with ongoing aftercare support available. We also touch on the potential setbacks some individuals face post-program and celebrate the rewarding stories of those who successfully integrate the lessons learned into new, healthier relationships. Listen in as we uncover the impactful work being done to transform lives and foster lasting change.

Toxic Relationships | Pastor Chad Dingess | 06/01/2025 by Bethesda Church

Send us a textSometimes life hits so hard that we become silent—not because we have nothing to say, but because speaking from our wounds would hurt rather than heal. I share my personal experience with seasons of silence and how they serve as crucial times for internal rebuilding.• Recognizing when our words would come from a place of toxicity rather than healing• Using silence as an intentional practice for rebuilding and rebirth• Understanding that we can't pour healing from an unhealed place• Allowing ourselves time to process pain before speaking about it• Learning to speak eventually from a place of healing rather than hurt• Embracing silence not as surrender but as strategic recoveryPlease consider leaving us a review on your listening platform and connect with us on Facebook and Instagram @RobbinsNestShow.Thank you so much for listening!

This is the video excerpt of episode 93, and the full video is on Patreon.com/RealityTestThe full audio is wherever you get your pods, including Apple & Spotify. Dr.s Kay and Ray dole out their 8 awards to any reality television shows they watched in the months of April & May, 2025: The Valley, Summer House, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Southern Charm, Below Deck Sailing Yacht, and, on Netflix, Battle Camp and Million Dollar Secret. If you haven't heard of Netflix's shows, Battle Camp & Million Dollar Secret, they each offer a new premise for challenge-focused reality television–the former a mix between The Challenge and Perfect Match, and the latter a mix between Anonymous and The Trust. The players from Squid Game: The Challenge stole the screen time on Battle Camp, although for different reasons for each. Which of these shows did you watch? Which awards would you give them? For example, our “TESTosterboned” award is given to a reality TV castmate or moment where testosterone boned the acting party and led to a particularly patriarchal (racist, heterosexist) result, in any variety of ways. We call the opposite award, “The Bechdel TEST” (each award has “test” in the name, given our show's name!), which we give to the most feminist, anti-racist or queer moments or castmates of a given month.

Are you in love… or stuck in a trauma bond? In this episode, Sommer, Shay, Tash, and Tara dive deep into the signs of a toxic relationship — and why it's so hard to leave. They unpack how love can slowly turn into control, why chaos can feel like passion, and what healing actually looks like. Each shares her own experience with toxic love, the patterns that kept her stuck, and the inner work it took to finally break free. Whether you're questioning your current relationship or healing from the last one, this conversation will hit home.

What do you do when the person you love explodes—and it has nothing to do with you, but you're the one absorbing the damage?In today's episode, I'm talking about a very specific and disorienting experience: the emotional outbursts that often come from people with traits of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). These episodes are not “just” arguments. They're dysregulated storms—sudden, intense, and often terrifying—that leave you feeling blamed, spun, and emotionally shredded.I break down what's actually happening in these moments, why they feel so confusing, and how to begin separating yourself from the chaos. We'll explore:What BPD-patterned emotional storms really areWhy it feels like you're being punished for something you didn't doHow to recognize these moments as trauma responses, not mutual conflictWhat helped me stop spiraling when I was stuck in these cyclesThe difference between compassion and self-sacrificeWhy you're not crazy for being overwhelmed, and why this isn't your faultThis episode isn't about diagnosing anyone. It's about giving language to what survivors are living through—so you can stop blaming yourself, start validating your reality, and begin choosing peace over chaos.If this resonates, I invite you to check out my full Substack series on Cluster B abuse patterns: https://jessicaknightcoaching.substack.com/Support the showWebsite: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

If you've contemplated leaving a toxic relationship but then get confused and question your decision because of the 'good times,' then this episode is for you. This episode explores the fluctuating dynamics of toxic relationships, focusing on the cycle of extremes in good and bad experiences, which leads to abuse and trauma bonding.

Dr.s Kay and Ray dole out their 8 awards to any reality television shows they watched in the months of April & (half of) May, 2025: The Valley, Summer House, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Southern Charm, Below Deck Sailing Yacht, and, on Netflix, Battle Camp and Million Dollar Secret. If you haven't heard of Netflix's shows, Battle Camp & Million Dollar Secret, they each offer a new premise for challenge-focused reality television–the former a mix between The Challenge and Perfect Match, and the latter a mix between Anonymous and The Trust. The players from Squid Game: The Challenge stole the screen time on Battle Camp, although for different reasons for each. Which of these shows did you watch? Which awards would you give them? For example, our “TESTosterboned” award is given to a reality TV castmate or moment where testosterone boned the acting party and led to a particularly patriarchal (racist, heterosexist) result, in any variety of ways. We call the opposite award, “The Bechdel TEST” (each award has “test” in the name, given our show's name!), which we give to the most feminist, anti-racist or queer moments or castmates of a given month. To whom or what moment might you give these two awards? To whom or what moment might we have? -------------------------------------------------------------------Listeners!

Send us a textWhen Debbie accepted messages from a man who found her through a tagged Instagram post, she couldn't have predicted the 18-month nightmare that would follow. Her story reveals how narcissistic abuse escalates from subtle control tactics to full-blown emotional and physical violence.The warning signs appeared immediately – aggressive physical behavior on their first meeting, possessive comments, and attempts to control her movements – but, like many victims, Debbie dismissed them hoping things would improve. Instead, her partner isolated her from friends, controlled her clothing, monitored her whereabouts, and subjected her to relentless accusations of infidelity while he was the one being unfaithful. The physical abuse escalated too.What makes this episode particularly powerful is Debbie's candid reflection on her healing journey. After finding the courage to publicly share her story, seven other women came forward with similar experiences with the same man. Her crucial advice to listeners: don't ignore the first red flags, because abusive behavior only escalates with time.Have you noticed controlling behaviors in your relationships? What red flags have you overlooked hoping things would improve?

In this What Would You Do? segment, a 62-year-old woman shares a jaw-dropping story: she fell in love with a charming man, said yes to his proposal… then found six mugshots—including one from last year. Now she's torn between the love she feels and the red flags she uncovered. He claims he's changed. But is love enough to overlook a criminal past? This conversation dives deep into why some women ignore red flags, the psychology of settling, why companionship often overrides conviction—and the harsh truth about dating over 40 and 60. Is the pressure to find someone—anyone—driving people to compromise their values? Is the church creating unrealistic dating expectations? And are women being told to wait while men explore every option?Need relationship advice? Text Dr. Gabe.

Family is supposed to be a source of unconditional love and support - but what happens when it isn't? In this episode of Cropped, Wendy explores the painful and complex reality of family estrangement, sharing her personal experience and hard-earned insights on letting go. She reflects on the grief, guilt, and ultimately, the courage it takes to choose yourself when family relationships no longer serve your well-being. More importantly, she highlights the power of chosen family - the people who see you, support you, and love you not because they have to, but because they want to. If you've ever struggled with family relationships, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone - and that love, belonging, and connection can be found in the people you choose.

Send us a textEver felt like you're navigating a world that wasn't built for your success? This deeply personal episode unravels the complex journey of achieving professional excellence while wrestling with life's most challenging transitions.I'm celebrating passing an international certification with distinction – an achievement that came while balancing new motherhood, marriage, and career demands. This victory wasn't just academic; it represented overcoming postpartum depression, therapy struggles, and the persistent pressure to overachieve that many Black women know intimately. Your career can become a lifeline during periods of emotional displacement and loneliness, but there's danger in becoming defined solely by what you do professionally.The conversation expands beyond personal experience to examine how systems consistently cap Black success – whether through UK taxation policies that punish achievement, workplace cultures that view Black women as threats rather than assets, or the persistent colonial mindset that extracts value without giving credit. Drawing powerful parallels between personal career liberation and the broader decolonisation movements happening across Africa under leaders like Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso, we explore what true freedom looks like in both professional and global contexts.Throughout this episode, we discuss navigating environments not designed for your advancement: understanding organisational politics, recognising your value as a subject matter expert, creating leverage through continuous learning, knowing when to walk away, and strategically planning career moves without revealing all your cards. Whether you're feeling stuck, undervalued or simply seeking a more strategic approach to your professional life, this conversation offers both practical guidance and the emotional validation that your experiences are real.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star

In this episode, you will explore 10 distinct forms of narcissistic manipulation tactics and the true agenda of a narcissist with whom you must engage, communicate, parent, and resolve issues. Those who display narcissistic traits often do not recognize themselves as narcissists. Instead, they tend to hold on to their grand illusions of themselves or see themselves as the victims of others. When they are up, it is because they believe others see them as the best, smartest, most beautiful, creative or talented. When they are down, that is because they feel victimized by evidence that someone, maybe you, no longer feed into their grand illusions of themselves. Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach, Award winning author, meditation teacher, course creator, and podcast host, is on a mission to awaken those who live below the veil of consciousness, and who are in toxic, enmeshed, codependent, subjugating relationships with those who are either narcissists, or who have high narcissistic traits. As an adult daughter of narcissistic and codependent parents, and as someone who escaped the undertow of a toxic marriage herself, she understands that the first step in healing from a narcissistic relationship is recognizing the signs that you are actually in a narcissistic relationship.  Ready to begin your healing journey?  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group

Yes, it's possible to have a toxic relationship with yourself. This can manifest in various ways, such as: Constant self-criticism: Putting yourself down, focusing on your flaws, and never feeling good enough.   Neglecting your needs: Ignoring your physical and emotional health, not taking breaks, and pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion.   Unhealthy coping mechanisms: Using substances, food, or other behaviors to numb your emotions or avoid problems.   Setting unrealistic expectations: Constantly striving for perfection and feeling disappointed when you fall short. Fear of failure: Avoiding challenges and opportunities out of fear of not being good enough or not succeeding.   If you recognize these patterns in your behavior, it's important to take steps to improve your relationship with yourself. Let's dive into this episode.

When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

When they threaten to leave or take something away from you, but they never follow through, expect them to repeat that behavior indefinitely. Empty threats are effective on those who fear them coming true. There is a way to stop the empty threats (but you probably won't like it).
