No matter what it looks like from the outside, everyone is just doing their best to make it through the day. And sometimes your best is sending your friends voice notes while on the verge of losing your sh!t. This episode is a collection of honest recaps of how my friends and I manage to balance it all...and sometimes don't. It's also a bit heavy on the foul language so listeners be warned.

While I thought I'd connect more with my ancestors on ayahuasca, I ended up letting them go while on San Pedro. But little did I know that releasing them was just the beginning. Some of these messages were sent in real time, so it almost feels like we're there together.

This is the first episode back from my ayahuasca retreat, we have a lot of catching up to do. Catch up on the previous 13 episodes to catch the vibe...or don't, that's also fine.

The unknown can be scary, especially when it's the unknown corners of your mind. I'm reporting live from the other side of a deep self-discovery dive before going to an ayahuasca retreat and am here to tell you that there's nothing to fear but fear itself. Oh yeah, and women who don't fear themselves, like the title says.

With all of the internet memes over the years, key scenes in Get Out have become giggleable GIFs... so much so that I actually forgot it was a horror film. Or maybe it's that whole laugh to keep from crying thing. Anywho... When the sunken place feels like it's all around you, at least you know you're not alone. In this episode, there are two Black women abroad who have found their way out. Have you? Additional voice credited to Ja...

Work: you can't stop complaining about it but you also can't survive without it... but what if we could do more than just survive? As Black women dare to dream that dream, you can dream it with us. Guest performance by Maya Angelou speaking the words of Harriet Tubman.

There's nothing better than kicking off Black History Month with a conversation with two Black women as they discuss the perils of datings. The state of dating isn't where our ancestors thought it would be, but this is where we are.
