Glo In The Dark

What happens when your best friend’s pregnancy causes you to feel both happy and horrified? Well on this episode, Tracy’s sharing her experience to answer just that.

Guerdley’s becoming a first time mom (!!!) and while the journey is an incredible blessing it also sparks unexpected fears, childhood sore spots and quiet tension amongst friends.

Join us as we get into:

(6:00) Tracy’s fears around Guerdley becoming a mom

(10:30) T...

Transparently, a lot of us are emotionally constipated. Our unprocessed stories, feelings and traumas are locked in our bodies, impacting us in both insidious and intense ways.

But there’s always another option for us. Guerdley is an SEL (Social + Emotional Learning) educator, doula, dancer, certified yoga instructor, somatic practitioner and the ideal person to explore this topic with. So let’s talk about it.

Join us for a b...

Transparently, Guerdley and I are now closer in age to forty than thirty… Which is mind-boggling because it feels like time is speeding by with no regard for our feelings, yet it also feels like we’ve lived so many lives, we should probably be in our eighties?!

So in this episode we’re in the mood for throwing it back to that one-of-a-kind period known as our twenties. A unique decade full of important and overrated moments that...

This week, Guerdley and I are unpacking our ever-shifting body and beauty “standards.” We’re talking about being bullied into loving our bodies, pinpointing where our obsession with appearance even came from, and so much more.

We get into:

(3:00) Hair as a tool of hierarchy

(12:10) Tracy + Guerdley’s personal definitions of beauty

(15:00) Social media’s role in pretty privilege

(34:45) Embracing aging + challenging the pressure to l...

Welcome to Glo in the Dark! It’s been a while since Guerdley and I have been on the mic so not only is this episode a cute (re)introduction to us as individuals and friends…. WE ALSO explore sh*t like how our view of friendship has shifted from middle school to now, what our parents didn’t teach us about friendships, forming a friendship with ourselves etc.

Join us for some platonic PDA, as we get into:

This episode is coming to you from December 2020, the closing chapter of an unusual, significant and soul-rattling year.

And of course, GOD hit me with a MOMENT that I swear is the equivalent of like 10 therapy sessions lolol. 

Here's that lesson dear listener, in the raw, stream of consciousness style, off the dome, from the heart. A lesson on exalting your present self. I hope you enjoy. 

Per usual, if you...

The first time I heard Jessamyn Stanley speak in 2019, I immediately felt like I could trust this woman to hold it dowwwwwwn when it came to representing some of my most important beliefs, no matter who was or wasn't in the room.

She’s an award-winning yoga instructor and intersectional activist with a heavy PASSION for diversity + inclusion in the self-care space.

There’s so much laughter and memorable dialogue in this e...

Celebrated tarot practitioner, Jessica Dore is a woman who reminds me on the daily that the internet can be a soulful place. In her words she’s “interested in using tarot cards to help people understand the interplay between internal and external life and to behave flexibly and in alignment with what is most precious.”

In my words: she’s a psychology / mysticism appreciator’s wet dream. 

We talk about why tarot has h...

For this episode, I’m in convo with the human I’ve been merrily monogamous with for 4 years to date, Carl Joseph-Black. If you follow me on Instagram, you know Carl's been invaluable to my personal development. Since much of this community has been curious about some more details on our union, we’re going to answer questions from yall taken directly from IG Stories.

As with prior episodes of this season, we recorded th...

My ex-girlfriend is nowhere to be found on the internet. She’s not Googable. She hated Facebook even before our parents joined. But I can easily scroll through our early 20-something faces, our passion, our disaster, all in my head. 

This episode of #ShesBeautyAndTheBeast is a pivot from the general vibe I’ve rolled out thus far. 

My mom is absolutely not going to enjoy the fact that I’m sharing this one with yall (...

Keep it a buck: Ever muted a friend on IG so you could ease up on comparison?

On this episode of #ShesBeautyAndTheBeast me + Guerdley pick a part a very uncomfortable topic by pointing a finger towards ourselves – envy.

Dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn lmao

Here are 3 areas (amongst more) that we cover:

1. Muting friends who flex heavy on this app… why we do it and the other option many of us forget to use.
2. If comparison i...

Yall in need of human hard drive? That’s my friend Alex Wolf.

On this episode of #ShesBeautyAndTheBeast, I talk with Alex about what she’s mostly known for of course… breaking down the internet’s impact on human behavior.

But also shit like what makes cooking such a supreme life coach. 

I think yall will really enjoy this episode. It’s hella smart and hella spicy.

Want more Alex? Get up in her newsletter at alexwol...

Lalah Delia is a woman who I believe can help our soul’s potential soar. 

That’s it. That’s the description.

Well nah I lied, here’s a little bit more lmao.

As you might know, Lalah is a leader in this modern day spirituality space and in this episode of #shesbeautyandthebeast we bounce around subjects like: 

1. The difference between fear and danger…
2. How a set of handcuffs led to Lalah’s freedom and vibrating...
