Transparently, a lot of us are emotionally constipated. Our unprocessed stories, feelings and traumas are locked in our bodies, impacting us in both insidious and intense ways.

Transparently, Guerdley and I are now closer in age to forty than thirty… Which is mind-boggling because it feels like time is speeding by with no regard for our feelings, yet it also feels like we’ve lived so many lives, we should probably be in our eighties?! So in this episode we’re in the mood for throwing it back to that one-of-a-kind period known as our twenties. A unique decade full of important and overrated moments that shaped us for the better. Let’s get into some reflection shall we? ...

The first time I heard Jessamyn Stanley speak in 2019, I immediately felt like I could trust this woman to hold it dowwwwwwn when it came to representing some of my most important beliefs, no matter who was or wasn't in the room. She’s an award-winning yoga instructor and intersectional activist with a heavy PASSION for diversity + inclusion in the self-care space. There’s so much laughter and memorable dialogue in this episode about why yoga in the west was initially more embraced by white folk...

Celebrated tarot practitioner, Jessica Dore is a woman who reminds me on the daily that the internet can be a soulful place. In her words she’s “interested in using tarot cards to help people understand the interplay between internal and external life and to behave flexibly and in alignment with what is most precious.” In my words: she’s a psychology / mysticism appreciator’s wet dream. We talk about why tarot has had such a profound comeback during modern day times, her very unique morning rout...

The longest sexual orientation I've ever identified with is bisexual, but in recent years it just hasn't felt as accurate a description as it once did which made me extra curious about myself and wanting to walk down my memory lane of sexuality. So we're talking about a lot, including the question of... is it more liberating to have a threesome or to fantasize about having a threesome lolol.

My ex-girlfriend is nowhere to be found on the internet. She’s not Googable. She hated Facebook even before our parents joined. But I can easily scroll through our early 20-something faces, our passion, our disaster, all in my head. This episode of #ShesBeautyAndTheBeast is a pivot from the general vibe I’ve rolled out thus far. My mom is absolutely not going to enjoy the fact that I’m sharing this one with yall (or next week’s episode for that matter) and I get that. As a Scorpio, I especially ...

Keep it a buck: Ever muted a friend on IG so you could ease up on comparison? On this episode of #ShesBeautyAndTheBeast me + Guerdley pick a part a very uncomfortable topic by pointing a finger towards ourselves – envy. Dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn lmao Here are 3 areas (amongst more) that we cover: Muting friends who flex heavy on this app… why we do it and the other option many of us forget to use. If comparison is a game of nature or nurture… How to handle friends who may envy us… LOTS to un...

While delving into our spiritual and self-care journeys, it’s impossible not to become seduced by the beauty and the claimed healing properties of crystals. Maybe you have a co-worker or significant other who will only salute rocks if Jay Z's involved, but something tells me you feel like gems, stones and crystals carry something much deeper than the surface could ever offer. If that's so, hit play on this quickie featuring my friend and crystal whisperer Devi Brown as we explore parts of her ne...

Hi! If this is your first time hitting play on my podcast, iCackle. This type of episode is not of my usual format. Any time you see A Moment Of Realness, know that you're about to enter a raw, impulsive audio journal type post that I felt compelled to share. As for this version, I journeyed back into life pre-Twitter + pre-Instagram for a couple of minutes and returned with thoughts. Here they are.xx TG Hosted on Acast.

It’s with one of my friends Necole Kane formerly of NecoleBitchie.com and presently of xoNecole.com.Necole is one of the most transparent, generous souls I have ever met. Me and 100,000 other women are obsessively rooting for her every millisecond of her life. As far as this convo… she really wanted some straight up, purebread girl talk… So we touched on subjects like plastic surgery, ageism, dictimization, relationships… a lot. I hope you guys enjoy!
