In this episode, I sit down with Brittany Broaddus-Smith—a Christian sexologist and the bold, brilliant founder of The Intimacy Firm—for an eye-opening conversation at the intersection of faith, sexuality, and healing. We dive into taboo topics often brushed aside in the church, including the legitimacy of soul ties, the emotional confusion they can bring, and why over-spiritualizing these concepts can cause more harm than good. Brittany keeps it all the way real, offering clarity, nuance, and a path to healing that doesn’t require abandoning your faith.

We also explore how millennials are redefining their relationship with the church, why many are stepping away, and what it would take to bring them back. Brittany shares her thoughts on creating church spaces that support open conversations about sexuality, pleasure, and identity—with no judgment attached.

We also discuss:

💒 What it means to be a Christian sexologist
🧠 The truth about soul ties and spiritual-emotional connections
🙅🏽‍♀️ Why shame has no place in sex or faith
📉 The church’s disconnect with millennials and Gen Z

If you’ve ever felt torn between your faith and your sexuality—or if you’re just curious about what it looks like to embrace both without compromise—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by my favorite political analyst, KG for a deep, unfiltered convo on the state of American politics, the economy, and the emotional toll it’s all taking—especially on men. From Trump’s possible 2028 run to supply chain fears and the media’s obsession with crisis, we unpack what’s real, what’s hype, and what it means for everyday people.

We also dig into how young men are navigating their political identity, why they’re often left out of campaign messaging, and the deeper existential question—do men even believe they deserve happiness? The conversation blends politics, masculinity, and mental health in a way that’s honest, layered, and timely.

We also discuss:
🗳️ Trump 2028 and the media machine
💸 How tariffs and poor negotiations hurt Americans
🧠 Political identity, emotional repression & young men

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa of Fab Glance—a lifestyle influencer, digital strategist, and one of the realest voices online—to have a deeply personal conversation about women’s health, fibroids, and her decision to have a hysterectomy. After sharing my own story in a previous episode, I opened the door for others to speak up—and Melissa walked through it with vulnerability, courage, and honesty.

We talk through the emotional and physical realities of living with fibroids, navigating the decision to be child-free, and how society often places unfair expectations on women’s bodies. Melissa also shares what it was like to date after surgery and the fear of how people would react to her health decisions. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that women's health journeys are never one-size-fits-all.

We also discuss:

🩸 Living with fibroids and the trauma of heavy periods
🧠 The emotional labor of making life-altering health decisions
💔 Grieving motherhood and embracing a child-free life
🛌 Healing from surgery—both physically and emotionally

If you’ve ever dealt with reproductive health issues, questioned societal norms about motherhood, or just want to hear two Black women talk candidly about life, love, and healing—this episode is for you.
