Desiree Abba talks to us about how her relationships have helped her grow and overcome codependence and find the independence and freedom to explore her own sexuality, as well as fun banter about building our empire and the truism when you’re “on a break”, you’re on a break—no matter what Rachel from Friends says.
Kate joins us for a fun, meandering conversation about living, growing, and evolving. Life lessons are important, and learning to acknowledge our strengths & weaknesses, instead of running & hiding from our emotions, are key to learning.
Episode 50 seems like the perfect chance for a quick message about how Broke & Broken was created and how we hope to continue to serve the community.

A message from Felina: This is my brave face. No makeup, no filters, no bullshit. Because today I’m in an immense amount of pain due to a fibromyalgia flare up. If you look behind that smile, you’ll see dark, heavyset bags under my eyes, swollen cheeks, and a hint of pain in that smile. My evening consists of detox tea, massage machines, hot epsom salt baths, alternating hot packs and ice packs... in hopes of gaining some relief from painful, swollen joints, burning hot inflammation in my kidney...
Picklecicles, gas stations in Narnia, and sugar daddies—all things that came up during our amazing chat with listener, Buck. Talking to him was a lot of fun. Bucky Boy is the superhero we never knew we needed. Listen & laugh with us.

Our show is all about being vulnerable and open, so we were honored that some phenomenal women singer/songwriters were willing to share the miracle of music with us by performing songs that helped them heal or process vulnerable moments. (Part 2 of 2)
