The Boonie Breakdown

In this episode of The Boonie Breakdown, Boonie welcomes back friend of the podcast Ashley Cobb, who returns not just as a guest—but as a newly published author. The two dive into Ashley's debut book, Pleasure Please: The Black Woman's Guide to Unapologetic Pleasure and Confidence, and the journey that took her from podcast host to author. The book's creative structure is built around the alphabet, with each letter representing a theme that invites readers to explore pleasure, confidence, relationships, and self-discovery in a way that allows them to jump around and engage with the content at their own pace. A major part of the conversation centers around reclaiming pleasure and redefining the often-misunderstood concept of a "hoe phase." Ashley reframes it not as reckless behavior, but as a period of intentional self-exploration—one where women can learn their desires, establish boundaries, and build confidence in their sexuality. Later in the episode, the conversation turns to sex, relationships, and responsibility. Ashley discusses her experiences with PrEP as a preventative measure for HIV and highlights the importance of having honest conversations about sexual health—particularly in cities with higher HIV rates like Atlanta. The two also explore ethical non-monogamy, communication in relationships, and how setting clear boundaries is essential for healthy partnerships. This episode is an honest, empowering, and thought-provoking conversation about pleasure, confidence, sexual autonomy, and embracing your desires without apology.

In this episode, I'm joined by our resident problematic fav Brian for a funny, honest, and low-key dragging conversation about the lie we tell ourselves every January: "New Year, New Me." We get real about why most resolutions flop, how self-awareness is the missing ingredient to growth, and what it actually looks like to hold yourself accountable instead of just talking about change. From tech foolishness to internet culture rants, reality TV hot takes, and our very personal health and habit check-ins, this one is equal parts laughs and life lessons — with a little gym trauma sprinkled in for good measure. We also discuss: 🎯 Why honesty with yourself is the first step to any real glow-up 🕶️ Brian's meta glasses and the unexpected (and questionable) possibilities 🚫 Brian's Dry January and what clarity without alcohol really feels like 🪞 Learning to check your own habits, vices, and excuses before life does it for you Support The Boonie Breakdown: ✨ Join Boonie on Patreon for exclusive bonus content & behind-the-scenes extras: Patreon.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 🛍️ Shop The Boonie Breakdown Store: thebooniebreakdown.com/shop Let's Keep in Touch! 📲 Follow on Instagram: @TheBoonieBreakdown 📘 Like on Facebook: facebook.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 📩 Email: [email protected] or submit comments at thebooniebreakdown.com/contact 💬 Use the hashtag #TheBoonieBreakdown and tag #PodIn to share your thoughts.   Chapters 0:10 Welcome to the Boonie Breakdown 0:46 Pick of the Week: Traders 2:27 Addressing Bias in Reality TV 3:12 Feedback from Episode 280 6:14 Housekeeping and Announcements 6:53 New Year, New You 7:48 Clarity in Sobriety 11:59 Health Journey Reflections 14:15 Self-Assessment and Honesty 22:17 Tech Gadgets and Tracking 28:02 Aging and Social Media 30:05 Validation and Self-Esteem 34:32 The Cost of Public Opinion 45:24 Hair Maintenance Conversations 52:05 Church and Distractions 58:29 Final Thoughts and Reflections  

In this episode of The Boonie Breakdown, Boonie sits down for a powerful and necessary conversation with Jessica Guthrie, a dementia caregiving advocate and thought leader who shares her deeply personal journey as the primary caregiver for her mother, diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. Jessica opens up about becoming a full-time caregiver at just 26 years old—uprooting her life, navigating grief in real time, and learning the realities of caregiving without a roadmap. Together, Boonie and Jessica unpack the emotional, financial, and systemic challenges caregivers face, particularly millennials and young Gen Xers who are often thrust into these roles unexpectedly. Through shared experiences—including Boonie's own caregiving journey with her grandparents—this episode sheds light on the isolation, resilience, and advocacy required to care for loved ones, while offering practical guidance for anyone navigating or preparing for caregiving. We get into: 🧠 Becoming a caregiver at a young age and what no one prepares you for 💔 The emotional and financial realities of caregiving—and the necessity of self-care 🏥 Navigating healthcare systems, bureaucracy, and learning to advocate fiercely 📋 The importance of routines, documentation, and sustainable caregiving practices 📑 Legacy planning, power of attorney, and having critical family conversations before crisis hits This episode is both a resource and a reminder: caregiving is hard, often invisible work—but it matters deeply.

In this episode, Boonie returns from hiatus with laughs, honesty, and real conversation. I'm joined by influencer and comedian Kurvy Katie, whose evolution from plus-size fashion content creator to viral comedic voice has resonated across Instagram and TikTok. Together, we break down creativity, dating, self-worth, and the cultural shifts shaping how women—especially women in their 40s—show up online and in real life. We get into: 🎭 Curvy Katie's journey from fashion influencer to comedy and what going viral really looks like behind the scenes 👗 The challenges plus-size creators face in fashion and media—and how representation (or the lack of it) impacts content 📚 Black BookTok, romance novels, and Katie's ambitious goal of reading 150 books in a year 💔 Dating in your 40s, modern dating fatigue, and why good conversation matters more than ever Follow Kurvy Katie: 📌 Instagram & TikTok: @KurvyKatie Support The Boonie Breakdown: ✨ Join the Patreon for exclusive content & live show access: Patreon.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 🛍️ Shop merch: thebooniebreakdown.com/shop Stay Connected: 📲 Instagram: @TheBoonieBreakdown 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 📩 Email: [email protected] 💬 Use #TheBoonieBreakdown and #PodIn to share your thoughts and favorite moments!   Chapters 0:18 Welcome Back from Hiatus 3:54 Fun with Kurvy Katie 12:33 Fashion to Comedy Journey 13:06 The Dating Dilemma 13:38 Discovering BookTok 21:17 Writing Aspirations 31:04 The Reality of Dating 44:38 Raising the Bar for Relationships 50:13 The Quickfire Breakdown

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shemeka Thorpe—award-winning sex researcher, Black feminist scholar, and sexual health expert—to break down the most urgent issues impacting Black women's sexual health in 2025. From HIV prevention to the "sex recession," we tackle the topics many communities aren't talking about but absolutely should be. We get into: 🛡️ HIV & AIDS prevention for Black women and why proactive tools like PrEP for women matter now more than ever 📉 The rise of the sex recession and why younger generations are having less sex—or turning to more extreme sexual behaviors 😬 How COVID-19 disrupted sex education, creating new fears and gaps in safer-sex knowledge ❌ The decline in condom use and how shifting media narratives changed the national conversation 🩺 Dr. Shemeka's groundbreaking research on sexual pain disorders in Black women and the intersection with assisted reproductive technologies Follow Dr. Shemeka Thorpe: 📌 Instagram: @drshemeka 🔗 Stay updated on her research: https://www.drshemeka.com/  Support The Boonie Breakdown: ✨ Join the Patreon for exclusive content & events: Patreon.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 🛍️ Shop merch: thebooniebreakdown.com/shop Stay Connected 📲 Instagram: @TheBoonieBreakdown 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 📩 Email: [email protected] 💬 Use #TheBoonieBreakdown and #PodIn to share your thoughts!   Chapters 0:18 Welcome Back After Hiatus 5:27 Diving into HIV and Black Women 5:27 Conversations on Sex Education 27:04 Understanding the Sex Recession 33:27 Researching Pain and Pleasure 40:52 Quickfire Breakdown 42:09 Closing Thoughts and Farewell

Tired of the superficial swiping and the transactional vibes found on most dating platforms, Brownie set out to build a space that centers authenticity, maturity, and connection—without the sugar daddy stigma.

In this episode, I'm joined by two of my favorite guests—Brian, our problematic fav, and KG, our responsible fav—for a real, unfiltered conversation about dating in today's world. For the first time, we explore the game from both of their perspectives, diving into the chaos, calm, confusion, and comedy that comes with it.  We talk about the shift from "Brian-type" energy—thrilling but unstable—to "Kenny-type" stability and why so many women say they want the latter but still get caught up in the former. There are moments that left me speechless (literally) as we unpack the roles gender expectations, pop culture, and past relationships play in how we all show up in love.

We're hitting replay on one of the most jaw-dropping and inspiring conversations we've had on the podcast. In this episode, I'm joined by Naseema McElroy—nurse, mom, money coach, and the powerhouse behind Financially Intentional. We dive deep into her incredible story of paying off over $1 MILLION in debt in under 3 years (yes, you read that right), and how that financial freedom unlocked a new purpose: helping others—especially Black women—build lasting wealth and take control of their money story. We also discuss: 💰 What it really looks like to pay off 7 figures of debt 🧠 Why mindset is the biggest barrier to wealth building 💸 Practical steps to stop surviving and start thriving financially 👩🏾‍⚕️ Navigating money as a working mom and healthcare professional Whether you're just starting your financial wellness journey or looking for inspiration to keep going, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Brittany Broaddus-Smith—a Christian sexologist and the bold, brilliant founder of The Intimacy Firm—for an eye-opening conversation at the intersection of faith, sexuality, and healing. We dive into taboo topics often brushed aside in the church, including the legitimacy of soul ties, the emotional confusion they can bring, and why over-spiritualizing these concepts can cause more harm than good. Brittany keeps it all the way real, offering clarity, nuance, and a path to healing that doesn't require abandoning your faith. We also explore how millennials are redefining their relationship with the church, why many are stepping away, and what it would take to bring them back. Brittany shares her thoughts on creating church spaces that support open conversations about sexuality, pleasure, and identity—with no judgment attached. We also discuss: 💒 What it means to be a Christian sexologist 🧠 The truth about soul ties and spiritual-emotional connections 🙅🏽‍♀️ Why shame has no place in sex or faith 📉 The church's disconnect with millennials and Gen Z If you've ever felt torn between your faith and your sexuality—or if you're just curious about what it looks like to embrace both without compromise—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm joined by my favorite political analyst, KG for a deep, unfiltered convo on the state of American politics, the economy, and the emotional toll it's all taking—especially on men. From Trump's possible 2028 run to supply chain fears and the media's obsession with crisis, we unpack what's real, what's hype, and what it means for everyday people. We also dig into how young men are navigating their political identity, why they're often left out of campaign messaging, and the deeper existential question—do men even believe they deserve happiness? The conversation blends politics, masculinity, and mental health in a way that's honest, layered, and timely. We also discuss: 🗳️ Trump 2028 and the media machine 💸 How tariffs and poor negotiations hurt Americans 🧠 Political identity, emotional repression & young men Support The Boonie Breakdown: ✨ Join Boonie on Patreon: Patreon.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 🛍️ Shop The Store: thebooniebreakdown.com/shop Let's Keep in Touch! 📲 Instagram: @TheBoonieBreakdown 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/TheBoonieBreakdown 📩 Email: [email protected] | Contact: thebooniebreakdown.com/contact 💬 Use #TheBoonieBreakdown and #PodIn to share your thoughts!   Chapters 0:14  Introduction to the Chaos 3:46 The Pick of the Week 11:27 Political Fractures 17:44 The 2028 Election Landscape 28:24 Preparing for Food Shortages 32:28 The Lies in Politics 46:20 Addressing Forgotten Voters 53:48 The Future of Male Happiness

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa of Fab Glance—a lifestyle influencer, digital strategist, and one of the realest voices online—to have a deeply personal conversation about women's health, fibroids, and her decision to have a hysterectomy. After sharing my own story in a previous episode, I opened the door for others to speak up—and Melissa walked through it with vulnerability, courage, and honesty. We talk through the emotional and physical realities of living with fibroids, navigating the decision to be child-free, and how society often places unfair expectations on women's bodies. Melissa also shares what it was like to date after surgery and the fear of how people would react to her health decisions. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that women's health journeys are never one-size-fits-all. We also discuss: 🩸 Living with fibroids and the trauma of heavy periods 🧠 The emotional labor of making life-altering health decisions 💔 Grieving motherhood and embracing a child-free life 🛌 Healing from surgery—both physically and emotionally If you've ever dealt with reproductive health issues, questioned societal norms about motherhood, or just want to hear two Black women talk candidly about life, love, and healing—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with my podcasting cousin, Smitty—an English teacher, mom of three, and host of the Patreon-exclusive podcast Teachers After Dark. We dive into her life as an educator, the wild dynamics of parent-teacher conferences, and how she balances being a public figure with her own very real, very human experiences. Smitty gets real about the often-unspoken realities of working in education and the challenges teachers face outside of the classroom—from social media scrutiny to the spicy politics of staff relationships. As someone who doesn't have kids, I was floored (and frequently speechless) hearing what really happens behind school walls. We also discuss: 🎙️ The hidden drama of parent-teacher conferences 🫣 The pressure of being "professional" 24/7 as an educator 🖤 Creating safe, unfiltered spaces like Teachers After Dark 🤫 The messy, hilarious, and human sides of school culture Smitty also shares what it's like to build a podcasting platform while working full time and parenting three kids—and why supporting indie content creators matters now more than ever. If you're a teacher, parent, or someone who loves juicy real-life stories, this episode is a must-listen!

It's the first solo episode of the season! I had to do a Boonie 5 Spot! We dive into the world of vision boards and offer an alternative approach.

Like, we are really watching people transfer groceries into multiple containers and wonder if there's a hidden meaning behind it or if I'm just missing something.   Also, chat about the struggle to find low-cost hobbies. Do they exist? I am on the lookout for new ways to unwind and enjoy myself without breaking the bank. A transcript of the full episode is available here.

In this episode, Boonie is joined by our problematic favorite, Brian. We start the conversation by drawing comparisons between Baltimore and Houston and discussing how people in Houston have a better understanding of where to go for fun. We both believe Baltimore has the potential for a vibrant nightlife scene that black Baltimoreans deserve. Shifting gears, Brian discusses the attraction he finds in designs on women's nails—heaux nails versus bad bitch nails. The conversation then leads to the importance of good sex in a relationship. If the sex isn't great, Boonie and Brian know they'll eventually cheat, and they don't want to cheat or play games with someone's feelings at this stage of their lives.  A transcript of the full episode is available here.

In this episode, Boonie and guest KG discuss their favorite albums of 2023. This was a tough year for narrowing down favorite albums, especially in the hip-hop genre. We chat about our favorite songs from the year, including Tyrese's "Don't Think You Ever Loved Me," SZA's "Snooze," and Justin Bieber's "Moments." We also discuss Anais Cardot's "Colors," which we find joy and beauty in despite not understanding the French lyrics. Boonie and KG chat about their favorite albums like No Name's "Sundial" and Summer Walker's "Clear 2," and personal picks such as October London's "Rebirth."  Finally, we wrap up by chatting about Victoria Monet's album "Jaguar," appreciating its well-blended body of work from an artist who has been in the industry for a long time.

In this episode, Boonie is in conversation with Sam Smith of New Vintage By Sam. We discuss various aspects of style, including personal style development and the significance of clothing as a form of self-expression. Sam explains the importance of staying true to one's style and not conforming to societal expectations. Sam even shares how to regularly purge closets of items that no longer serve a purpose and make space for new ones. We discuss the importance of feeling comfortable in what we wear and making the most of existing pieces through creativity and styling hacks. We also explore the psychology behind purchasing branded items and the value we place on them. Additionally, we discuss the idea of buying preloved bags as a more affordable option and the potential profitability of renting designer bags for photoshoots. We also discuss the allure of sexy attire, the power of fabrics and scents in creating a sensual atmosphere, and the speaker's personal preference for silk robes and warm fragrances.

We express our disappointment with the movie, discussing how it lacks the drama we were hoping for. We even mention the poetry snap era and how we're glad we didn't experience it. Later in the discussion, we explain the shift in our mindset towards relationships as we've grown older, becoming more cautious and less excited. We take responsibility for being comfortable in our own space and admitting that actively dating is not a priority. Despite not fitting the conventional mold, we maintain hope for the future but are not currently focused on dating.  A transcript of the full episode is available here.

In this week's episode, Boonie is joined by Brian Dwayne of BlkTouch. Brian discusses the creation of BlkTouch, explaining how it evolved from sensual photography to a separate space for explicit content that couldn't be posted on social media. The conversation touches on Brian's role in creating all the content and his efforts to be inclusive in terms of casting. Brian emphasizes the importance of representation for underrepresented groups, particularly Black women, in his work. He also distinguishes BlkTouch as a different space for artists rather than competing with platforms like OnlyFans, emphasizing the focus on ethical porn that prioritizes consent and well-being. In the final part of the conversation, Boonie and Brian discuss future projects, such as verbal dominance and further exploration of the glory hole concept. Boonie emphasizes the importance of execution and having an audience. They also address their focus on serving and resonating with the audience rather than chasing industry recognition. Brian even shares some of his favorite scenes and projects, along with upcoming additions to the website. The conversation concludes with a reminder to sign up for a subscription and explore the films, along with contact information for BlkTouch on various platforms.
