Brunch with Desb Podcast

What's up guys and happy Sunday! June was a pivotal time where we had 4 episodes, amplifying the voices in the black community. We will still continue to do those episodes periodically but for today's episode, I wanted to share my experience around something that has a lot of stigmas attached to it. Fake tits, botox, and lip filler. These are topics most people don't have an accurate understanding...

Given the recent horrific tragedy, national and global systemic racism issues, and wanting to be an ally to the black community, I want to take the next few episodes to use my platform and influence and pass the mic to those I believe we all need to hear. Our first episode of this mini-series is with my good friend Libby Christensen. Libby and I discuss her adoption process, what it was like growi...

Sophia and Alex are at it again and I am about to spill the tea. In case you were unaware, the podcast Call Her Daddy has been through some toxic and rather public shit recently and I have been asked my opinion on the subject. Instead of talking on my IG story, I wanted to explain it in long-form instead. If you are a fan of the show or just want to hear some juicy gossip this Sunday morning, stra...

My first episode not riding solo and I'm so excited to chat with my assistant coach Emily Bogaudo. Today's episode, we talk about fad diets and why yo-yo dieting is so detrimental to your health.

I thought about saving this topic down the road but it's time to spill the tea now. Let's talk religion and specifically Christianity.

If you are going to listen, please do so with an open mind as these are my...
