In the final episode of Season 1 of The Real Connect podcast, Tamika Carlton breaks the fourth wall in a brand new format, answering unexpected, unfiltered questions from her husband, Logan. From love and personal growth to major life pivots, nothing is off-limits. Logan brings the heat with topics Tamika didn’t see coming, including her decision to leave Seattle for an HBCU and how that bold move reshaped her entire journey. It’s raw, real, and the perfect way to close out the season.


Key Takeaways:


1. How moving away from Seattle and attending an HBCU transformed Tamika’s perspective on life and community.

2. The role of unexpected challenges in personal growth and resilience.

3. What it takes to maintain authenticity while navigating relationships and big life changes.
