Confessions of a Young Adult’s Life

This week we talk with my friend Joy J., founder of Singles Exchange and host of a podcast by the same name. We let you all in on our girl chat as we discuss dating through the era of COVID-19. We share war stories, have some laughs, and even give some advice for those singles like us who have been out of the dating world for a while. It is my hope that you all get something out of this exchange t...

In this episode you get introduced to some of the people that move me musically and really help with the healing process. I go as deep or as shallow as I would like.

Welcome back to Season 4! I believe this season will be the most vulnerable and authentic one yet. I’m hoping that you all stick around and enjoy the ride. Trigger Warning: Topics on suicide and depression.

Cheers to the end of this year and the end of this podcast season. As always, I give you all my final thoughts on the season and what to expect moving forward. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Also, forgive me for saying 2020. I meant 2021

Happy birthday to me! This is a raw and honest conversation about a few things I’ve learned about life and myself over the last decade. I’m so grateful to be here and to share this moment with yal! Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk with my cousin Daryl V. Williams II, known to the music industry as King Skrilla. We discuss growing up in a two parent household in our hometown East St. Louis and how that parental support shaped him. We talk about the importance of parents and ownership and just doing life together for you all to hear. This was a great conversation and so necessary.

This is what I like to call: short, sweet, and to the point. Here are a some of my tips and tricks to help you navigate through the Holiday season with your loved ones.

Hey yal guess what??? Jamie’s back! This season I invited Jamie to come and have a conversation on purpose and what purpose looks like for her right now as a Christian young adult. We discuss the 5 questions you must ask yourself about walking in purpose from Dr. Myles Munroe. The questions: Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here? What can I do? Where am I going? Although, this episode is a bit longe...

In this episode I deep dive into the subconscious cues I picked up as young Bri learning how to build real life relationships. I talk about how the things I watched growing up translated over into real life. This was fun!

This season must be humble season because whew! I listened to a life changing message and this podcast was a result of that. This was very hard to record. Vulnerability is necessary for healing. Such a humbling moment, but I’m glad I could share it with you. What are you needing to forgive yourself for in this season? Scripture References: Psalm 138:6, James 1:23-24, Galatians 6:3-6

I guess we hit a theme here for the first two episodes. This episode we dive deeper into how I’m handling love during my single season. Listen as I share my heart. Forgive me for the overuse of the word “myself.”

Welcome back! We are starting this season off dealing with real life. This is a very candid conversation about how I’ve been feeling as a young professional in a predominantly white field of influence. I talk about my woes as a Black librarian and not having the same opportunity as my white colleagues when it comes to jobs. Rejection in any form is real and can trigger grieve. This is how I’ve bee...

Let’s end the season right by reflecting on my favorite episodes and some last minute gems and updates. I’m so glad you all have been sticking it out with me. We can only continue going up from here. Continue to listen to the replays. Love yal!

This is a candid and extended conversation from the book “Confessions of a Young Adult’s Life” about growing up with three parents. I talk about the personalities and traits that kind of built the foundation of who I am as a person today and my road to forgiveness and wholeness. These conversations are never easy, but I’m happy to have them.

I ain’t gone lie, this episode is kind of ratchet. These are untold truths of young adult me that was out here looking for love and connection in all the wrong places. These are my thot adventures...Enjoy! Also, I meant to say Angela Yee* not Lee (sorry!)

Quick conversation discussing my thoughts on the August Alsina interview with radio host Angela Yee. I discuss the similarities in our stories and how I had to shift my mind into freedom for the remainder of 2020. A real discussion on mental health in young adults and changing the vision and expectations for the second half of the year.

On this day I was tired yal! Tired of how my life was unfolding and then God sent a word. This is an episode on the life lesson that we can’t dictate who God picks to speak into our lives. Always be open to listening and hearing what’s being said.

In this episode I share two stories about my black experience in America with the police. I think it’s important to understand the narrative that black women also have negative encounters with law enforcement at an alarming rate just like men. We cannot forget them in our fight for justice. #SayHerName *Trigger Warning*

Yes, we’re back! Please forgive me for the audio quality had some technical difficulties, but I didn’t want to throw it out. This show has been purely organic. However, I’m excited to be back and start season 2 with you all. 🎉 Let’s do life together!

Taking a little longer break than expected, but meet me back here in July for Season 2.

Before the last episode of the season I wanted to discuss with you all the things we went over in the first season and where we’re going for season 2. Thank you for listening and I look forward to continuing this journey with you all.

This episode talks about the woes of learning to relax as an adult and trying to create a new normal. We will talk about family dynamics and relearning good behaviors.
