Girl the Podcast

 burnout: feelings of emotional, physical, and social exhaustion due to stress

it’s my birthday y’all! i’m always doing some reflecting and inner work so, in honor of this special day, i have 24 lessons that i’ve learned throughout my time on this lil planet to share.

The mammy, jezebel, and sapphire are the three stereotypes that make up how Black women are viewed. obviously we’re more than these stereotypes, but it’s hard to make that point when society doesn’t want us to be multidimensional. listen as guest co-host Chloe and I share our thoughts on how this ideology affects Black women more than we think! as a fun lil drinking game, take a shot every time Chloe says “like” and let me know on IG (@girltheepodcast) how drunk you got.

happy Women’s History Month! as women, we all know that society puts soooo much pressure on us to be traditional and maintain the status quo. well i say to hell w/ tradition, it’s 2024!

the month isn’t over yet y’all! to all of my Black people with interests that transcend race, this episode is for you.if you haven’t already, try to spend ur money w/ a Black business for the rest of this month & year tbh! there’s power in the Black dollar. IG profiles for the businesses mentioned:@4hnyfashion, @goated.lifestyle, @war10creates, @senpai.productionz, @n.ursebae, @breaa.cosmetics, @thebeautyyyroom__, @honeybeanhair, @nailsbynubian, @thenail.invasion, @a.ronica_, @authentickflorist, @crescentwax

in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, let’s get a lil mushy! Oxford Languages defines love as “an intense feeling of deep affection,” but what does love mean to YOU? listen to hear my answer.

it’s no secret that we love music, it’s a big part of the show and our lives. so we decided to go a little deeper into what shaped our taste in music, our top five artists of the year, who we think is overrated/underrated, and more. tap in to find out why we love music!

You may refer to these dazzling mouthpieces as grillz, fronts, or golds. whatever you call them, these dental enhancements are a big part of Black culture. in this special episode, we chatted with MKE born and raised jeweler, Helen Harris (@helenwiththegoldteeth) about her brand, early beginnings, toxic perfectionism & how to get out of a creative funk. if you’re a creative or entrepreneur, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

girl…you just can’t say this one word? there are two letters that could stop you from overextending yourself to others when you don’t have the energy. we all want to be the nice and kind person everyone can depend on, but when does it become too much? listen to our experiences with people pleasing and get some helpful tips on how to just say no!

we all know that growing up as a Black person in America has it’s ups and it’s downs. there’s colorism, insecurities that are projected onto us by society, and culture vultures. but being Black is a privilege that we don’t take lightly. so say it loud, y’all! we’re black and we’re what?! PROUD!

girl… aren’t you tired of the double standards? we can experiment in the bedroom, or be open about our sexuality because we’d be a “slut” while a man would be considered a “player.” or it’s okay for a man to always call you out on false accusations and suspicions, but if we get even the slightest bit of suspicion, we’re “nagging” and “insecure.” what’s up with that? dive into this discussion with your homegirls as we try to figure out why these men be tripping!

do you know your attachment style? did you know that your childhood probably affected that? tap in as we discuss the attachment theory, how it applies to personal relationships, and identify our attachment styles.

shots, shots, shots! everyone knows that when liquor is involved things may get a lil chaotic, and this episode is all of that and more. pour up a drink as we discuss current events, cockblocking, dating icks and reminisce with special guests viv and tim.

in your relationships, do you often feel misunderstood, unsupported, and maybe even gaslighted? if so, girl… it’s giving toxic. toxic relationships can exist in many forms, from friendships that no longer serve you, to the boyfriend of your nightmares, or even that one family member that always makes you feel bad. it can be hard to let go of these relationships but don’t worry, your homegirls are here to help. tune into part 2 of “girl… it’s getting toxic” as we discuss toxic partners, friends, family, and even situationships.

recognize when someone else is being toxic to you, but it takes a lot of reflecting to realize that you can be toxic to yourself as well. tune into part 1 of “girl… it’s getting toxic” as we reflect on our experiences with self toxicity, and how we work towards better relationships with ourselves.
