How do we hold joy and dissonance at the same time? In this episode of Girl…Call Me with Tanya and Jessica the hosts unpack what it means to navigate cognitive dissonance in a society that often feels out of sync with our values and well-being. From the personal to the political, they explore how federal budget cuts, shrinking community resources, and performative allyship show up in daily life and how we stay connected anyway.

But it’s not all heavy. The duo also shares laughs about Essence Fest mishaps, Carnival Cruise’s new “controversial” rules (yes, we said it), and a run-in with an anime conference downtown. Whether you’re deep in reflection or just trying to make it through the week, this episode offers balance, honesty, and a few much-needed moments of joy.

Tune in for:

  • Real talk on stress, survival, and systemic contradictions
  • A reminder to check in with yourself and your community
  • Pop culture, wellness, and why Target might not be your bestie right now

Because even when the world doesn’t make sense, you still deserve peace.
