The Arch Effect

What happens when the host becomes the guest? For our summer finale, Terrell Grice of The TERRELL Show joins me for an unfiltered sit-down full of plot twists, deep laughs, and big truths. From the moment that changed everything to a chaotic round of This or That...you’re not ready — but you should be. #TerrellGrice #TheTerrellShow

Sistas star and spiritual powerhouse Novi Brown sits down with me for a free-flowing convo on protecting your peace, letting go to grow, and using astrology as a tool for alignment — not a trend. Whether you’re deep into your Saturn return or just trying to stay grounded, this one’s a breath of sage-scented air.

What does sex look like when you’re grieving? In this episode, I sit down with sex therapist, Dr. Kate Balestrieri to explore how grief impacts intimacy, desire, and connection. We delve into kinks, queer love, the importance of exploration, and how sex can become part of the healing process.

What keeps us hopeful when dating feels exhausting? In this episode, I sit down with content creator and recipe developer Alex Hill (@justaddhotsauce) to talk about holding onto hope, finding joy in the moment, and what it really means to stay present through the highs and lows of love and life. #Hope #Dating #Foodie

This is a heartfelt one ya'll! Kristine opens up about navigating depression after the loss of her father — and how her faith, culture, and community are helping her cope. We chat the power of God showing up when you need it most, what it means to heal out loud, and of course, we get a little silly along the way (because joy still matters). #TheArchEffect #Depression #Faith

In this solo episode, I’m opening up about my Upward Turn — the moment things started to shift after toxic work partnerships, fading friendships, job changes, and fast-burning romances. It’s the turning point in grief where healing begins, and for me, it came after letting go of what no longer served me. This one’s honest, reflective, and a reminder that clarity often comes after the chaos. #selfh...

James Bland joins us to break down how denial and bargaining manifest in not only the seven stages of grief, but also in life, love, and the creative process. We dive deep into his personal journey with sexual fluidity, how his art challenges the lies we tell ourselves, and why bargaining with life can sometimes hold us back from real freedom. #StagesOfGrief #DenialIsARiver #Bargain #Pride #Archie...

DJ Brian Henry gets all the way real about the layers behind anger — how it masks deeper pain, how it shows up in his creative process, and how he’s learned to sit with it instead of run from it. But we don’t stop there. We get into his spiritual side quests (naked hikes included), the importance of alone time in a noisy world, and why he turned down a gig to DJ for Diddy. This episode is an explo...

Are you still processing life’s plot twists while trying to keep it all together? Same here—and so is our guest today, Rachel Lindsay! She’s keeping it raw and real about navigating the shock of public heartbreak, career shifts, and personal reinvention. We talk Bachelorette, boundaries, and circling the block on an ex. Let’s just say, this convo might leave you speechless… but in the best way.
