Podcasting Is the New Kink!

Hey, you! Yea, you! The woman that is interested in yoga but has no idea where to start. This episode is just for you! It's literally an intro to yoga teaching you the basics of yoga and its origins in the Hindu religion. There's also a lot of joking and laughter. :) Today I talk to my homegirl, Zikea McCurdie, yogi, health coach, and all-around wellness guru about the benefits of yoga, especially...

Welcome to season 7 of Podcasting Is the New Kink! This season is all about Black women yogis and it will be filled with many different yoga practitioners who have one thing in common: being committed to wellness and healing. To start it off, I interviewed Ebony Molock, Founder of Empowered Rest Yoga, and we talk about taking up space, yoga extending off the mat, expanding your knowledge, being em...

Yoga, like many other practices from the East, has been hella appropriated! So much so, most people of color still see it as "white people ish," even though it has become much more diverse in the past few years. But the origins of yoga come from ancient India and it is all about the connection between your body, mind, and spirit. In this season of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, I interviewed Black w...

It's only March but 2024 has already been a wild year! Don't get me wrong, it started off kind of great. In the first few days of January, I got great news. There was interest in my podcasting program from The Boys and Girls Club , and I was accepted into The Blox , The Largest Competition TV Show On The Planet For Startups! These were great accomplishments that gave me hope for my future. I thoug...

I know I'm a day late, but I swear I'm not a dollar short! This episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! is the first solo episode I've done in a while. It will be a recap of all the interviews this season, and I'm going to share my favorite moments and lessons. Season 6 started off with the relationship experts, the Black love gurus, if you will. The first interview was with the Amazing Clarks , An...

So how do you know if your relationship is on the right track? If you've listened to all of the episodes in part 6 of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, then you've heard a few themes that echoed throughout. Role fluidity, authenticity, respect, grace, honest and transparency, and communication were some of the many. Role fluidity is about letting go of traditional gender norms and playing to your stren...

The word "manifest" has become hella overused. These days many people use it to describe a magic process where you speak the things you want into the universe and those things just find their way to you. But, we know that that isn't how manifestation actually works, right? You still have to put in the work. You have to put yourself in a position to receive and you have to walk the walk, as if you...

How important is sacrifice in a romantic relationship? Some would say that it isn't important at all. That you shouldn't have to change yourself to make things work. While I agree with that last statement, I also believe in growing and becoming more of your favorite self everyday. And, that takes sacrifice, but not in a literal sense, of course. In episode #39 of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, I sit...

We are back! And as always, we're better! :) The rest of part six of Podcasting Is the New Kink! will be interviews with some of my favorite people in the world and we are starting off with my sister-cousin Amber. Amber and her partner, Dre, have only been together for a few months, but I believe that you can learn from every situation, and I definitely learned a lot from this conversation. We tal...

Podcasting Is the New Kink! is taking a break! But we will be back with more couple's interviews on January 31st. Until then, make sure you are all caught up and make sure you've gotten all the gems from the experts. Peace. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you think about any sport where there are opposing sides (like basketball, football, etc.), there are rules of engagement. Even in things like MMA and boxing, where the point is for these people to beat each other down, there are established codes and an etiquette to follow. Now think about your romantic partnership? Do you have a set standard for how you will approach and handle conflict? This...

What's the craziest situation your relationship has had to get through? Ernie and Ronna Cason aka Snooks and Lovey overcame a physical attack, family drama, an almost-divorce, and more. They bounced back stronger and now they coach others on the way to doing the same. In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, I share part one of my interview with the couple who "Married Into Crazy!" We talk:...

There are certain topics that you will just never agree on. So can you agree to disagree with respect? Or, is that the ultimate dealbreaker? Are you giving your relationship the grace it needs? Or, are you looking for your version of perfection? Only you can answer these questions, but in this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, you can definitely gain some insight. This is the second part of...

There are levels to marriage. You have the physical, the mental, the spiritual, the financial, the familial, etc. And a huge part of the journey is learning to rely on and trust in each other. This is one of the topics I covered in my interview with Dee and Bee Hendershot of the Truth and Coffee Time Podcast. This episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! is the first part of that interview. We talk:...

Here's a mindset shift to think about: in our relationships, are you fighting to grow or fighting to win? Are you trying to learn something new about yourself? Or, are you making your partner a loser? I never even thought about that concept before interviewing the Amazing Clarks! Honestly, that was my favorite gem, but this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! is filled to the brim with them so...

How important is vulnerability in an intimate partnership? Simply put, "vulnerability is where the good stuff is." When you are vulnerable with your partner, you give them a chance to choose you. You give your relationship a chance to grow stronger. And you give yourself a chance to heal. Now this is something I've always "kind-of" known, but after speaking with "The Amazing Clarks," I am 100% adv...

Podcasting Is the New Kink! will be back next week with new episodes on intimate partnerships! I interviewed a bunch of couples from all different walks of life and I learned so much. So I'm sharing it all with you! Stay tuned for new episodes of Podcasting Is the New Kink! starting next week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We need a season 2 of Kindred, and we deserve it! The first season set up so much of the storyline, now we need to see them all tied up into a pretty bow. In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! I talk: Predictions for season 2 of Kindred The future of Podcasting Is the New Kink! And more! Please send us any questions or comments you have. DM us on Instagram, @pinkladyprod or email jasmine@...

Yup, it's true. Dana was not one of my favorite characters. But I'm expecting that she will have one of my favorite character arcs. In the series, Dana is a millennial. She seems impulsive, clumsy, and maybe even a little arrogant. But she is working through unimaginable circumstances. Who knows if I'd even like myself in that situation. In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! I talk: Dana'...

I am an advocate for reading! I think it's the best way to exercise your brain. I love novels but you can read whatever you want, from magazine articles to podcast transcriptions. Dana was also an advocate. She read to Rufus. She taught Carrie and Nigel. She stressed the importance of literacy. This is a theme that drove many of the storylines in Kindred, and today I'll mention others that did the...

FX's adaptation of Kindred was not my favorite. Some elements were missing, like scenic shots that showed more of the setting. Others showed up a little too much for me, like this notion of having empathy for white women. Lol. I got real passionate in this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! ya'll! I talk: Notable elements of the series Details that stood out Things I wish were different And mo...

Is the book always better? That's not an easy question to answer. When you read a story, you see it from you point of view, and we tend to add a few details that aren't actually there. Sometimes, we completely ignore or forget details that are. But, when you watch a show or movie, you are seeing it from the creator's pov, and that can clash with yours. So I don't know if Kindred the novel was bett...

If you follow me on social media then you may have saw my pledge for 2023, which is to only read books written by women of color. The purpose of this pledge was to highlight voices that have been suppressed and get insight from my fellow creators. One of the books I read this year was Kindred by Octavia Butler. It was one of my favorite books as a kid, and it is still one of my favorite stories. S...
