The Purple Koolaid Podcast

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most personal stories of my life—the story of chasing a dream with everything I had, and still falling short. For over 20 years, I dedicated my life to music. I performed in stadiums, had songs on the radio, worked with Def Jam, wrote for Isaac Hayes’ label, got featured on Trina’s first album, and even had a shot with Sony Europe. I went from freestyle battles in Ohio to recording in studios...

Ever been asked to train someone at work—only to find out later that they were your replacement? Yeah. That’s what I call a business okie-doke.

 In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I share a raw, real-life breakdown of how employers use good employees, all while plotting to replace them behind their backs. I talk about how personality differences, personal boundaries, and even having ambition can make you a target—no mat...

In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I dive headfirst into something that’s been bothering me for a while: why are so many people just plain mean these days?

From women shoulder-checking me in public to pushy, self-entitled patients at my day job, I break down what it feels like to navigate a world where kindness is rare and attitudes are nasty. Whether it’s complexion bias, classist arrogance, or just plain emotional nas...

In this raw, unfiltered episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I dive into a controversial but all-too-familiar topic: cheating. Specifically, I unpack the myth of who’s really “winning” in a love triangle involving a man, his wife or girlfriend, and the woman he’s cheating with.

So many women claim victory because “he comes home to me,” while others proudly declare “I don’t have to deal with his mess.” But the truth is, nobody’s w...

In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I’m breaking down something I learned the hard way—why you should never share your hopes and dreams with the people at your 9-to-5 job. I know it might seem harmless to talk about your goals, your side projects, or the bigger vision you have for your life—but in most work environments, that kind of transparency can do more harm than good.

The reality is, when you speak openly about you...

In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I dive into a powerful topic: Why Society Punishes Non-Traditional People. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit into the traditional mold—whether it’s rejecting religious expectations, questioning societal norms, or living life on your own terms—then this episode is for you.

I talk about what it means to be a free thinker, the pressure of conformity, and how certain traditions shape ...

Today on The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I’m calling out something that’s been bothering me—people celebrating when others lose their jobs. I’ve seen it all over social media, in the comments, on the news, and it’s honestly sickening. How did we get to a place where we treat someone’s livelihood like it’s just another headline to laugh about?

I talk about what this kind of mindset says about us as a society and why none of us are immun...

Hello everyone! This is The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, and today we’re diving into Part Two of Cheating: Who Is Really to Blame?

Many women believe that when a man cheats, it’s just about sex—that the other woman is meaningless. But that’s a lie. Affairs are rarely just physical; they involve time, emotions, and connections.

People love joking that side chicks only get February 15th or never get holidays, but I know firsthand that many...

Today, I want to talk about something that comes up way too often: blaming another woman for your disrespectful, disloyal husband—and why that’s absolutely ridiculous.

Welcome to “The Purple Koolaid Podcast,” hosted by Lois Lane Miami. Today, I discuss a topic that affects us all: “Unforgiving Perfect People.” These individuals believe they know everything and dismiss anyone who disagrees with them as ignorant or unworthy. Their unwavering belief in their infallibility and refusal to forgive others for past mistakes is a troubling phenomenon.
