Who Knows?

Just like the title says,Who Knows?—this episode is everywhere! We stitched together a few funny recordings that had us cracking up, and hopefully, you will too. Along the way, we dive into conversations about future plans, gratitude, and optimism, all while navigating the highs and lows of growing into our identities. Oh, and let’s not forget the unintentional shade Jay threw at Destiny’s sister—because, of course, that happened. Tune in for the chaos, the laughs, and a whole lot of realness!~Destiny’s Socials; IG: Destiny.hiBlue Sky: Dessyd.bsky.social~TikTok: DessydxpIG: DessiahPodBlue Sky: DessiahPodcast.bsky.socialWEBSITE: https://stan.store/DessyD ~Jay’s Socials; IG: Jayce_Dolo_Blue Sky: JayceDolo.bsky.socialTikTok: Jayce5752YouTube:JayceReacts3005 ~

Raw Year End
This week’s episode was prerecorded, but we still wanted to put it out as a way to be real, raw, and relatable with all of you who tune in every week! 💜 We took a moment to reflect on how thankful we are for the love and support we’ve received in just a few short months. Seeing our Spotify Wrapped results was a moment for us—we’ve been grinding, and it’s amazing to see the impact we’ve already made. Life had been nonstop, but we stayed committed to being consistent with our content. We also tried out a new app to promote our platform, but we had to be smart about some of the risks that came with it. Of course, we kept it real about the random struggles too—like how hard it is to find a good dentist and how important it is to pursue careers you actually enjoy so you don’t end up making poor decisions out of frustration or burnout. As the year wrapped up, we found ourselves reflecting on everything—learning, unlearning, healing, facing health challenges, employment discrimination, and taking risks for personal growth. Through all of it, we’ve been growing, evolving, and figuring things out, just like so many of you. Thank you for rocking with us through it all! Here’s to more lessons, more wins, and more authenticity in the new year! 🎙✨ #Podcast #YearEndReflection #RealTalk #Healing #Growth #Thankful ~ Destiny’s Socials; IG: Destiny.hi Blue Sky: Dessyd.bsky.social ~ TikTok: Dessydxp IG: DessiahPod Blue Sky: DessiahPodcast.bsky.social WEBSITE: https://stan.store/DessyD ~ Jay’s Socials; IG: Jayce_Dolo_ Blue Sky: JayceDolo.bsky.social TikTok: Jayce5752 YouTube: JayceReacts3005 ~

Chat About Life
In this episode, we're keeping it casual and sharing how life has been treating us lately. We touch on a range of topics, including our thoughts on subtle discrimination in healthcare and the way some doctors treat patients. Have you heard of “White Coat Syndrome”? It’s a real thing, and we dive into how it can affect people. Jay is working on some exciting new projects—details are still “TBD,” but trust us, it’s going to be good. Meanwhile, Destiny shares her passionate take on self-care and why it’s so important to protect yourself and stand up for your well-being. This freestyle episode is just a chill, open-ended conversation because we’ve been a bit busy and tired lately, but we still wanted to connect with you. Our interests are all over the place, and we’re not trying to niche down just yet—we’re embracing the randomness! Join the conversation by commenting your thoughts below, sliding into our DMs, and letting us know how you’re doing. Don’t forget to like, follow, and share—your support means the world to us.
