Its Like This Everywhere

Back after a short and crazy hiatus, we sit down with Jordan, owner of Flock and Field Naturals. Together, we discussed what’s it like being a small business owner in the competitive industry of cannabis. we speak on how it’s impacted our lives personally and how he’s been able to help his customers in big meaningful ways. If you’ve ever been curious about working in cannabis or using CBD or hemp...

It’s hard to imagine yourself ever getting swept up in a cult. they seem far-fetched and far away things that only happen in odd areas to odd people. But my guest , Cult reporter Syran Warner and I can assure you, there is a cult build for everyone. So maybe the next time you’re approached by someone who is offering you wealth, fame or salvation on a silver platter you’ll be happy you listened to...

Beauty goes more than skin deep. Beauty is not just hair, skin, make up or nails. It’s expression, it’s fulfillment, it’s affirming care. The guest this week also shows us that it is a business. Gender affirming beauty is about supporting people in fully expressing themselves for how they want to be seen. Our guest proves that when it is seamlessly integrated into your business model you can make...

I sit down with my favorite ladies to further discuss motherhood and how it’s changed over time. My sister, mother, niece (although her input is limited to giggles) and I dive into what my childhood looked like from my mother’s perspective and what raising kids looks like now. It’s a 3 generation conversation (4 if you count baby giggles) and it’s the insightful, silly, warm conversation you’d exp...

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed while watching 2 small children and the sound quality has some distortion. Everything is audible but this episode is best listened to using a speaker and not headphones/ earphones. Inspired by the recent story of a struggling mother of 5, my sister and I sit down to discuss modern motherhood. With a masters in urban planning and a mom of 3, she is able to give a...

Tangents, twists, turns, theories, to sum it up, it gets pretty “meta” (if people still say that.) This week, we compare the OG three missionary religions. we discuss what actually defines a missionary religion and missionary work and come up with some interesting theories as to (possibly) how and why it all began.

When you hear the word “escort” what do you think? Hotel lobby? Ads in the back pages of the paper? Does your mind go to a place of desperation or liberation? Maybe all of those assumptions are true for our real life escort, “Abby”. or, maybe being an escort is nothing like you’ve ever pictured. There’s only one way to really find out. FOR DONATIONS TO THE VICTIMS OF THE FLOODING IN KENYA (2024) -...

Welcome to the third and final part about John Allen Chau and the documentary about his life and death the mission! if you have come this far, it’s been a wild ride and this final episode ties together major influences in his life and examines what the future may hold for North Sentinel Island. Please find articles that I referenced for this episode below: https://m.thewire.in/article/environment/...

Part two of the miniseries on the documentary, The Mission based on the tragic death of John Allen Chau. We pick up right as John leaves for his final trip to the Andaman archipelago. This discussion is full of details and raises so many questions, even though we already know that John dies in the end. Our questions are not about his death, but how did it reach that point, how did things get so fa...

We are welcoming in the new year with a miniseries, but with how much there is to break down, I should be calling it a mega series! This is part one of the breakdown of the documentary The Mission and John Allen Chau. He was a missionary that traveled to a remote island with a tribe of un-contacted indigenous people with the hopes of spreading the gospel. Warming: This episode includes discussion...

Yes, it might be New Year’s for everyone else but for me, it’s my birthday! Birthdays and New Year’s are always times of reflections and goalsetting for myself and the world at large. So for this magical time celebrated everywhere, we’re talking about New Year’s resolutions and traditions from around the world and what’s coming with me into the new year and next phase of my life.

This episode is a listener submission episode! After the heavy miniseries of breaking down “Savior Complex” it was just the right time for a gossip- filled tea spill, that also actually comes with some sincere advice and lessons. Even though the tea is hot, it all started with the question submitted by a valued listener about fake friendships and how do you know when you’re the only friend in what...

Welcome to part 3 of the tumultuous tale of Renee Bach and Serving His Children. We are now examining the aftermath of what occurred for some involved and what it could mean for the future of missionaries and volunteer work. Listen and share your thoughts!

Welcome to part two of the trilogy covering the HBO “MAX” docuseries- Savior Complex. By now, we are familiar with the organization “serving his children” and Renee Bach. In this episode, we get into a much more detailed discussion about the goings-on that occurred on the premises, yet we still are left with more questions than we are answers. The story is messy, but I do my best to guide you thro...

When I saw the MAX (formerly HBO) docuseries about Renee Bach and “Serving His Children” I know I had to talk about it. There is so much to dissect about this docuseries and the concept of saviorism as a whole so I encourage you to watch it either before or after listening. This is a heavy topic and will be at least 3 parts, so please remember to take care of yourself as there will be trigger warn...

This may just be my opinion (but that’s pretty much what this whole podcast is about anyways) so when I say that Robertta Bobbie is like a cool real life Carrie Bradshaw from Sex And The City, I mean it. She is fun, smart and she makes the feeling of being the cool girl accessible! Her insight on self-love, determination and romance is valuable for everyone. I’m so happy to call her a dear friend...

Finally you get to meet the man who makes ME the art! I’m finally introducing you to my one and only artist in Kenya who is responsible for so much of my body art. We are going to dive into how, and why he became an artist, what he thinks makes a good client-artist relationship, and the effects of racism and colorism on the tattoo industry. This is not an episode you should risk missing!

Season two begins with a look into one of my favorite brains that belongs to one of my favorite people. Mitteiy is a thoughtful, soulful intellectual, and this interview explores their views on the Kenyan creative space. They identify themselves as being “problematic“ however I believe that they and the issues that they champion for, are problems worth exploring.

We did it! We have reached the season finale and we could not be ending on a better note! This episode is funny, inspiring and full of juicy details. To play off the previous "best and Worst" episodes, this episode is about the moments where I really realized I was making a career in entertainment and how I was feeling about it, plus a few fun stories about maybe your favorite Kenyan cel...

Finally part 2 is up and I will say this one is spicier! there's just something about a best and worst countdown format that once you get into the groove of it, you can't help but dive deep into the real tea! I won't be revealing any spoilers right now, so just go ahead and listen and let me know if you can figure out if I am talking about your favorite celebrities or not. Or even b...

Let's have a little levity shall we?! In celebration of 10 episodes I decided this week we were going to go with something light and fun. It is also the first listener submission! This week is part one to the best and worst aspects of being a small scale celebrity in Nairobi. I talk about what I loved and the cool experiences I had and the things I could have lived without. I admit it was coo...

ok I admit it, this episode had me tear up as I recorded. but I bet you can't tell! I have been competitive my whole life and it has driven me to do some amazing things and achieve more than I would have ever imagined, but it also means defeat hits me hard. this episode is where I open up about how I have navigated (still navigating, to be honest) through the feelings that come along with def...

you may not believe this when I tell you, but I was more scared to move back to the US than I was to move to Kenya. Repatriating seems like it would be a lot easier than navigating a whole new country. Welp, I would disagree with you there. In fact, it's felt so challenging that mid-recording I decided to break this episode into two parts. This is another tough episode so make some room becau...

This one is for my astrology babes (but not really) honestly your late 20s are traumatic no matter what but adding in to the mix the weight of relocation and a global pandemic...ouchies. This is still an add-on to last weeks episode of advice I would give about relocation but my advice will not be the typical "how to get cheap flights" or a "GRWM as I go on vacay". this is my m...

This episode is an unconventional way to look at some of the aspects of what it takes and what you may experience when you move abroad. there is so much to unpack when you move abroad (pun intended) that this will more than likely become a series. To start off though, I just went with the flow of where my mind went when I thought of initially moving to Kenya and advice that I had never heard from...
