Jacque of All Trades

This week we saw a strong theme with the cast - everyone wants to know the inmate's family, but the family members are not trying to be bothered! Also, Tai is the star.  

We all know that labels for fashion, music, science, and food can be informative and helpful. But how does society influence how we label ourselves and others, and how often do labels reflect reality? Today we’re talking about where we see labels show up as we navigate through our daily lives, and we explore how we can work to debunk those that do us no good.

We're still meeting new cast members and learning more about the others. One thing is for sure, Ms. Yolanda, you're the early MVP! 

It's still real in these pandemic streets, but we all still need a vision! This week we talk about New Years traditions and the latest trends, and share how we stay motivated when the world around us can be chaotic and unpredictable.

We're back to recap the latest installment in the Love & Lockup Universe and the first episode did not disappoint!  From finding love on prison tik tok to getting taken care of from the inside, this new cast is taking it to another level. 

We have FINALLY reached the end of the season and we're back with our final thoughts on our felonious faves.  As always, best wishes to the children who have to deal with this cast of characters! Are you counting down to #LoveDuringLockup with us??

We are winding down on the second year since the beginning of the pandemonium, and the months have been full of memorable moments and viral sensations. The team is back to discuss the stories that hit the media and spread like wildfire. Let us know which stories were the wildest to you! 

Back on a hot mic after the November holidays with our better-late-than-never commentary. We've got LALU teas plus a few spoilers if you're into that! 

It can be the elephant in a room, or it can be loud and proud and on parade. Today we will explore the presence of colorism within our every day lives and society and discuss the impact it can have on how we see ourselves and the world around us.

Stop the bus, and stop the damn bus!  Back again with more commentary and lots of updates on the LALU universe too!

The world is heavy and the holidays are approaching, let's keep it light this week. We're diving into #WednesdayWisdom, a weekly Q&A shared by @SixBrownChicks, and we have plenty of unsolicited advice on the submissions. Tune in to hear the this week's wild questions, and drop down below and let us know what your advice would be! 

We let the drama reload and we're back with all the smoke for our favorite felonious cast of characters. 

It's officially Homecoming week so it's all about the Rattlers!! This week I have 5 amazing couples on to share their Rattler love stories. We're talking about how they met and when they got married, parenthood, mutual friendship circles, and their wildest dreams for the Rattler village. And of course, we reminisce on our favorite Homecoming moments! 

The moral of this week's story: never let Only Fans + reality TV set you up to look like a fool. Get into our recap, it's giving more than the episode did!

It’s officially that time of year! Homecoming season is in full effect and it’s time to check in on those goals we set back in Spring. I have a few of my HC All-Stars with me to discuss #anepicreturn and all of the Dos and Don’ts you should consider if you’re returning to the Hill this year.

We don't mean to be so raw, but it's like that sometimes when you're discussing a bunch of foolishness! 

We’ve covered toxicity online, now let’s take a look at how it shows up at home. Let’s discuss the different types of toxic behaviors that we commonly find when dealing with family members, and review a few tactics to avoid playing toxic games with relatives, especially headed into the Holiday season!

Ladies, should we be trying to have babies with a man fresh out of prison right away?  Fellas, should we be offering money to our felonious exes even when they don't ask?  We're back with more conversation on our favorite cons.

America the Beautiful or nah? Let’s break down the demographics of the United States by imagining it only consists of 100 people. Who are they? How are they protected and encouraged? How are they disenfranchised and oppressed? This week we explore our population from a simple breakdown to better understand how we can govern ourselves accordingly. 

Players get played sometimes when the devil's on the shoulder! Back catching up on the latest and giving spicy updates on the LALU universe. 

How do you celebrate yourself, or acknowledge and learn from your failures? Is it all on display? Do you keep it all to yourself? Do you go hard on the wins for the gram and get quiet when things are tough? We explore how we share our good and bad times with the public, and how social media receives transparency.

We are all familiar with the term TOXIC now more than ever; whether it's describing the workplace, societal norms, or those characters we find ourselves running into on every social media platform. Let’s discuss the toxic themes and several types of toxic people that we may encounter in life and online.

Back with more jail jokes!  Is it Love at Second inmate? Or is this fool getting conned again?

This week @drewvstheworldpodcast joins me to share his journey in the podcast world. Let's discuss what inspired him to get started, the evolution of podcasting resources and tools, and how the infamous Clubhouse still truly benefits podcast networking. 

Now that they've found Love, we’re back to Life after Lockup! Would you trust your ex-con spouse to invest $$ with other felons?  What would you do if your recently released partner told you they owed $143K in restitution???  What happens when a Sugar Daddy isn't getting enough sugar?  Time to revisit some of the OGs and continue our journey with a few newbies.
