Hey Y'all, damn, that feels good to say again. I know it's been a minute but I'm getting back to me. Sometimes this self-healing and journey is no joke. Let's discuss and catch up with each other again.

Y’all, it’s Monday again, and we have another recap from our wonderful TV show, What Would You Do? Also, adding in some Love & Hip-Hop. I watched the Wendy Williams documentary, which opened my eyes to her and her well-being. Let’s get this party started 😊 😊

Y’all, you do watch What Would You Do? When you watch it, does it make you angry? Does it make you think about what would actually do in those situations? It’s easy to give advice from your living room. But I’ve always said you never know until you are going through it.

Y’all, I’ve been going through. My mental and faith is truly being tested. Have you ever just truly needed a break I mean a break from everything. Being laid off is not for the weak, and the strength to keep it going every week is becoming harder and harder each week. Let’s talk about it. Anyone else feels my pain?

When I’m watching a TV show or just minding my own business on social media, LOL. I wonder if men and women can be friends and remain friends. We do not have to turn physical. I’m not saying that is what happens all the time, but it happens enough that this question is always in play. What do you think? Let’s talk about it.

Hey, Y’all, how well do you co-parent? What are some of your boundaries when it comes to being a co-parent? Do you have those uncomfortable conversations? Can you have conversations? Do you respect each other as the parent of your child? All these questions come with a co-parent. How well are we at it? I know I’m still a work in process. Let’s talk about it.

Hey, Y’all, Happy New Year!! It’s 2024, and let’s stop acting like we are afraid for our children not to like us. Let’s be honest: they are not supposed to like us, but they will respect us, and we must start correcting it before they get into the world. For some, let's say it may be too late. Lol. Let’s talk about it.

So, you mean to tell me that if I tell my partner, that’s me giving permission to cheat, and I cannot feel some way about it. This is crazy; I shouldn’t be in fear of saying No and them just sticking to anybody they can get a hold of. All this is nuts!!

I have two degrees, a bachelor's degree, and a master’s degree, and yet I was laid off. I have 4 years of experience in the HR field but yet I cannot land a job. This makes me wonder if a degree and student loan debt is worth it. I’m just thinking about everything and how hard I work and continue to work. But no one wants to take the time to really mentor and train someone. It is heartbreaking.

I do not know what to say, but thank you!! Everyone has my deepest gratitude for the incredible support you've shown for our podcast, "Adulting...WTF." Your unwavering encouragement and engagement have significantly impacted my journey, and I couldn't be more thankful and cannot wait to see what else is to come. Your feedback has been invaluable, and knowing that my episodes resonate with you is t...

Hey y’all, are we adult enough to have that uncomfortable conversation? Why are we afraid to talk to our sexual partners? Does it matter about our body count? Why do we get all in our feelings when talking about the number of people we have experienced? Why is there a double standard for women and men and their numbers?

Is the dating pool trash, or is it you? Is your energy bringing on the wrong type of guys, or is the dating pool indeed polluted? I feel the pool is corrupted, and you don’t realize it until you start talking to the person. This dating thing is crazy and takes a lot to get through.

Well, y’all, I’m still on the mission of finding my person. My first date was great, but what came after is when problems happened, Lol. At what age do men really grow up and stop playing games? There is nothing wrong with being upfront about what you want.

Wow…. Y’all I went on a date for the first time in 4 years, and you know…I had a great time. He was a nice guy, sweet and kind. He was one of the ones you must work through the pollution to get to. Y’all, let’s talk about it. Let’s share our first date experience, come along with me for my first date.

Now come on, y’all, Lol. I'm unsure if everyone has seen the famous video of the female who was mad that her date took her to the Cheesecake Factory and did not get out of the car. First, she is crazy; the Cheesecake Factory is good, LOL. And then I saw a list on Facebook of places not to take your first date. Alright, I guess I have an opinion on the matter; let’s talk.

Hey, y’all, we must give ourselves some grace. I know this is better said than done, but we must work better. As people have come so far, we no longer take what we are given and are okay with it. It’s okay to say No, mean it, and leave it at that. Let’s keep talking about it. 😊
