Ep 5: God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle

In episode 5, I discuss Married at First Sight's most EXHAUSTING couple: Chris & Paige. So far Paige has tried to reconcile her horrible treatment with several "churchy" sayings including "God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle".

Ep 4: They Gave Us The Shortest Month For Black History?

In celebration of Black History Month, I discuss the popular quotes that get repeated year after year, "They Gave Us The Shortest Month" or "Black History Should Be Celebrated 365". These sayings assume that was never the intended purpose of Black History Month. As I dig into the history, it becomes obvious these sayings are nothing short of ironic and leave out important and exciting facts. 2021 marks 95 years since time was set aside to celebrate Black people in history. There is no better ...

Ep 2: I Wish Today's Music Was As Good As It Was Back In The Day

In episode 2, Lauren explores a quote said many different ways but all with the same sentiment. Music today just isn't as good as it used to be.
