Tap into another no bars held, raw, unscripted, uncut conversation with, Dr. Monique Ross & Antwan Thomas, Host of the Straight Like That Podcast. Where we talk all things validation‼️ Validate Yo Self, Validation is for Parking, I Validate Myself. Respectfully. Ya get the point 🤟🏾

We unpack being an Introvert vs. Extrovert and alter ego's. Matching, Reserving, Protecting and being mindful of who you share your energy with. Antwan shares how he came up with the name and concept behind his podcast Straight Like That and why he's on a break from podcasting and the art of prioritizing.

Then we dive down a rabbit hole of "Only Child Syndrome", the gift of having siblings and not needing friends which somehow turned into 🖕🏾them kids. I love em' though 🤷🏾‍♀️

We take a turn and talk 🗣Being as Phucking Dope as the People we think are Dope‼️👏🏾 How Downplaying Self and being too Humble gets you overlooked and underpaid. No clue how but that turned into when and where it's appropriate to address me as Yo Favorite Dr. Bae as Dr. Ross. Hint, only if you nasty. I KID, I KID😛

Finally, we get into Social Media tagging etiquette, and we share our personal viewpoints on what would possess anyone to tag us and fifty leven other people in a post.
