    Most female rappers lean into the same narratives—but Audy Audemar is doing something different.In this episode, Audy brings a fearless, raw energy as she shares how she’s building her career through authenticity—from her East Coast roots to the release of her debut EP, Audemar.

    This Wasn't the Plan S2.Ep.33

    Life is changing… and this time, my kids feel it too.In this episode, I’m taking y’all into a real moment I had with my daughters ; one that caught me completely off guard. We were fine… and then suddenly, we weren’t. Tears, hard truths, and the realization that this wasn’t the plan.My children are grieving the idea of a family that’s not coming back… and at the same time, I’m grieving too.The hardest part?I’m trying to guide them through emotions I’ve never personally experienced.This version of motherhood… my mom never had to go through it.So I’m learning in real time — how to hold space for them, while still figuring out how to hold myself.We talk about:What it feels like when your kids start to understand the shiftCarrying your pain and theirs at the same timeLearning your children’s different emotional languagesBeing the safe space… even when you’re hurting tooAnd how I’m redefining motherhood in a season that feels like a beautiful disasterThis episode isn’t polished.It’s honest.It’s heavy.But it’s also full of love.Because even in the breaking… we’re still building something real.If you’ve ever felt like you had to be strong for everybody while quietly falling apart… this one is for you.

    The Weight of Expectations S2.Ep.32

    Sometimes it’s not love that’s exhausting… it’s the expectations we attach to it.In this episode, I’m reflecting on relationships, heartbreak, and what it really takes to heal and move forward. I open up about how expectations—both spoken and unspoken—can quietly drain us, especially when we’re holding onto what we thought something should be.We’re talking about:How expectations shape (and sometimes damage) our relationshipsThe emotional weight of heartbreak and unmet expectationsLearning to trust yourself again after things don’t work outLetting go of control and unrealistic idealsWhat it looks like to heal, reset, and move differentlyBecause the truth is…when you learn to manage your expectations, you protect your peace.This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop forcing, stop overextending, and start choosing herself—fully and unapologetically.

  5. 47

    What Are You Chasing?

    Most of us have heard the phrase “chase your dreams.”But somewhere along the way — especially in hustle culture — we started taking that literally.In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to chase… and how that mindset can quietly turn into exhaustion, comparison, and constantly feeling like you’re behind.As women, we’ve been conditioned to chase — approval, partnership, perfection, beauty standards, validation. And sometimes we’re moving so fast toward the next thing that we don’t even enjoy what we once prayed for.I open up about moments in my own life where I realized I wasn’t building — I was chasing. Chasing the idea of family. Chasing timelines. Chasing the picture instead of doing the inner work. And how slowing down changed everything.We also talk about hustle culture, self-esteem, body image, relationships, and why being alone isn’t a punishment — it can actually be clarity.In honor of Women’s History Month, I reflect on the legacy of Shirley Chisholm and what it means to be “unbought and unbossed” in a world that constantly pressures women to perform.This isn’t a step-by-step guide.It’s a safe space to reflect.If you’ve been feeling tired, anxious, or like you’re always reaching for the next thing… this conversation is for you.Maybe the goal isn’t to chase.Maybe the goal is to become.

    No Begging. Just Becoming: A Conversation w/ Jai Jemini S2.Ep.30

    Most artists face pressure to compromise their authenticity — but Jai Jemini refuses to follow the crowd. She’s proving that true success comes from staying real.In this candid conversation, Jai opens up about how her faith, unlearning, and unwavering self-trust fuel her journey as an artist breaking barriers on her own terms.From growing up in church to navigating her evolving relationship with faith, Jai shares the raw emotions behind her breakthrough single “Blessings” and how her lived experiences shape both her music and her message. We explore how she balances faith and ambition, unlearns harmful stereotypes, and refuses to be boxed in by industry expectations.We also unpack the unique pressures women — especially Black women — face in the music industry: the expectations to conform, to oversexualize, to shrink. Jai speaks on remaining authentic in spaces that try to define you, and why her independence is her greatest strength.She gives us insight into her upcoming mixtape “Love Letters and Dish Tracks,” a powerful narrative of love, heartbreak, healing, and growth — crafted to uplift women navigating their own journeys.This episode reminds us that authenticity isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the foundation of lasting success and fulfillment. Trusting the process. Unlearning limiting beliefs. Embracing every season — even the uncomfortable ones.If you’re ready to stop begging for validation and start becoming who you truly are, this conversation is for you.

    Without Guilt S2.Ep.29

    In this episode of Too Authentic, Ashley reflects on growth, boundaries, and the freedom that comes with saying no—without guilt. Through real-life moments, motherhood lessons, and honest self-reflection, she explores how alignment matters more than obligation, why you don’t have to accept what you tolerated last year, and how being misunderstood is sometimes part of the journey. This is a reminder that peace is a choice, no is a full sentence, and you’re allowed to honor what feels right for you.

  8. 44

    Victory Lap S2.Ep.28

    In this final episode of the year, Ashley Monique takes her victory lap — not from a place of perfection, but from a place of persistence. Victory Lap is a raw, honest year-end reflection on growth, healing, motherhood, grief, joy, and learning how to truly show up for yourself.Ashley reflects on a year that required her to stretch — emotionally, spiritually, and personally. From navigating motherhood and managing her emotions as a single mom, to finding joy in the small moments, rediscovering herself outside of survival mode, and stepping outside of her comfort zone professionally and creatively.This episode holds space for both gratitude and grief — honoring the losses, the lessons, and the love that shaped the year. Ashley speaks candidly about learning to celebrate herself, writing love letters to who she’s becoming, and finding balance without guilt. It’s about recognizing how far you’ve come, even if you’re still on the journey.Victory Lap is a reminder that growth doesn’t always look loud — sometimes it looks like consistency, courage, and choosing yourself again and again. This episode invites listeners to pause, reflect, and give themselves credit for surviving, healing, and evolving through it all.Because sometimes the win isn’t the destination — it’s realizing you kept going. 🖤

    Embracing the Pause

    In this episode of Too Authentic Podcast, Ashley Monique dives into the theme of Purpose in the Pause;the beauty of slowing down, sitting still, and allowing clarity to rise in the quiet moments. She opens up about confronting fear, honoring stillness, and recognizing how the pauses in life often reveal the next step in our purpose.Ashley Moniique reflects on journaling, intentional self check ins, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who truly pour into you.

    Purpose in the Stillness

    Sometimes God slows you down on purpose. Not to punish you — but to prepare you.In this episode, Ashley-Moniique opens up about what this season of stillness has been revealing — from unexpected pauses like her furlough, to the quiet lessons hidden in life’s slow moments. She reflects on what it means to trust God’s timing when everything around you feels uncertain and how to find purpose in the pause.This one’s for anyone who’s been feeling stuck, silent, or unsure — a gentle reminder that peace can live right in the middle of your waiting season.Be still and know… the purpose is already unfolding. 🌿Psalm 46:10

    Girl Talk w/ Ashley & Amanda: Breezy Bowl & Finding Joy in Furlough

    In this episode of Girl Talk, Ashley and Amanda dive into their unforgettable experience at the Breezy Bowl — from snagging tickets and planning outfits to the energy of the concert itself. Beyond the laughter and concert recaps, the two open up about navigating life during the government furlough and finding moments of joy and gratitude in uncertain times.Through their signature mix of humor, honesty, and sisterhood, Ashley and Amanda reflect on how music heals, connects, and uplifts, even when life feels heavy.

    & When the Seasons Change

    In this heartfelt episode, Ashley-Moniique reflects on the changing seasons of life — not just in weather, but in the soul. Just as the world shifts from one season to the next, she opens up about the emotional transitions that come with healing, single motherhood, and rediscovering self-worth after heartbreak.She explores the quiet truth that healing doesn’t always mean you’re “over it” — sometimes it means learning how to live through the trigger without losing yourself. Through honest confession, gratitude, and faith, she acknowledges the moments where she wanted to scream “I hate this,” but still found strength to whisper, “Thank you, Lord.”This episode is a soft reminder that every season has a purpose — some seasons prune us, some prepare us, and some push us into our becoming. And even when it feels like everything is falling, God is still aligning. Growth doesn't always feel good, but it is always working for our good.

    The Return of the Ghost S2:Ep.25

As fall rolls in, she unpacks the way old friends, exes, and faded connections start to spin the block with audacity but no accountability. From “Hey stranger” texts to double taps on old posts, Ashley explores what it really means to stand firm in your boundaries, honor your growth, and recognize when someone’s reappearance has more to do with your glow-up than genuine change.Through humor, honesty, and a touch of sass, this conversation reminds listeners that closure isn’t owed, peace is personal, and sometimes, people only circle back because they realize your energy was the blessing all along.

    Heal Yourself...Don't fall for it

    In this unfiltered but love filled conversation, Ashley Moniique shares her thoughts on the viral Cardi B clip that’s had social media buzzing. She makes it clear, this isn’t about dragging Cardi (Ashley’s still a fan!), it’s about the bigger lesson for all of us: no partner, no relationship, no new baby can “heal” you. Healing is personal, sacred work that only you and God can do.Ashley Moniique reflects on how easy it is to ignore red flags when you’re craving love, the double standards we hold for celebrities versus our own family and friends, and the truth that raising children takes more than money or fame. She urges us to protect our hearts, choose ourselves first, and remember: when you know better, you do better. Tune in for a real talk that’s equal parts big sister hug and wake up call.

Consider this your hug, your deep breath, and your permission slip to rest.
