Meanwhile, She with Aisha Beau

Aisha Beau Frisbey

Meanwhile, She is a podcast hosted by Aisha Beau Frisbey, where conversations unfold from her own couch—honest, layered, and reflective of how women actually live. It feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on something real. Across conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us, the show explores what women choose, what they carry, and what it takes to stay connected to themselves. Some moments are reflective. Some are sharp. Some are unexpectedly funny—because the best conversations aren’t one-note. If you’ve ever found yourself in between who you were and who you’re becoming… you’ll feel at home here.

    Your Worth Isn’t Measured by How Much You Can Sacrifice with Perle Noire

    What happens when being strong, disciplined, and useful becomes so much a part of your identity that you no longer know how to exist without it? This week, Aisha sits down with burlesque artist and Healing Through Seduction creator Perle Noire for a deeply personal conversation about self-devotion, embodiment, self-trust, and the identities women build around sacrifice. Perle shares how her relationship with burlesque became a path back to her body after being exploited at 19—and why the work she does today isn’t ultimately about sexuality or performing for someone else. It’s about helping women reconnect with themselves. Together, Aisha and Perle unpack the difference between self-discipline and self-devotion, why high-achieving women can struggle to surrender control, what eldest daughters and “strong friends” learn about usefulness, and why sensuality can be a relationship with yourself rather than something reserved for sex or partnership. Aisha also opens up about her own relationship with her body after pregnancy and motherhood, being the “good girl,” sexuality and shame, ambition, financial freedom, and the pressure to become the successful person who can carry everyone else. Later, Perle explains why she held a funeral for “Mama Perle”—the identity that helped make her successful but could no longer accompany the woman she was becoming—and what new boundaries have required her to leave behind. This episode asks a difficult question: Who are you when your worth is no longer measured by how much you can carry for everyone else?

    You Have Permission to Quit

    Last night, a member of the Meanwhile, She community sent me a DM that stopped me in my tracks: “Remember how sad you were this time last year, about your last retreat?” She was right — and what a year can change. In this solo episode, I'm sharing what it looked like to burn the house down last fall — canceling my Italy retreat, ending things with a manager who had stopped believing in me, and postponing the podcast I had been dreaming about for years — and what it looked like to rebuild slowly, quietly, one boring decision at a time. I'm also sharing where I sit today: with a podcast that has finally come to life, representation that actually believes in me, and a Mallorca retreat that's almost half booked in less than twenty-four hours. If you're in a season right now where things are falling apart and you're wondering whether you should quit, cancel, or reroute — this one is for you. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is give yourself permission to burn the house down and let the rebuild show you what's actually meant to be there. You have one beautiful, sexy-ass life. Live it. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    You Don't Know Where Your "Yes" Is Leading To with Janesha Moore

    What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the yes you keep saying no to? This week I sit down with Janesha Moore — the Philadelphia-based creator behind The Strategic Influencer, Move Moore, and the faith-based jewelry brand The Merciful Collective. Janesha was laid off from a corporate marketing role in 2023 and used that moment to build a multi-brand business that now reaches hundreds of thousands of women. But this conversation isn't about how she built the business. It's about who she's had to become to hold it — and what it actually feels like to be in what she calls a fighting season. We get into how one yes to skydiving turned into the New York City Marathon and eventually Move Moore, why she believes God gives you assignments no one else can confirm, the “productive distractions” framework she uses to protect her focus, what her DMs have taught her about being an affiliate creator in a world that looks down on them, and the mantra she leans on every day: "I’ma cry, but I’ma continue." 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Never Treat a Man as a Financial Plan with Danica Nelson

    What if rest and freedom aren't luxuries you have to earn over 40 years — but line items you can budget, plan, and take right now? This week I sit down with Danica Nelson, a Toronto-based money educator and founder of Liberty Leave, the platform teaching women how to fund career breaks and sabbaticals without going broke. Danica grew up in social community housing raised by a single mother, put herself through university debt-free, and then engineered her own six-month solo sabbatical through Southeast Asia after saving for 18 months. She's on a mission to be "work optional by 45" and she's teaching women how to do the same. We get into the three money buckets every woman needs to understand, why you can't budget your way out of not making enough money, the grandfather story that convinced her every woman needs a money binder, what slow travel actually looks like when you're not on vacation, and the 5 things to have in place before you take your own career break. And beneath all of it, the deeper thesis: that building wealth is the best form of love you can give yourself. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    The Six-Figure Rule That Built a 7-Figure Business with Amber Mayfield Hewett

    What if the follower count everyone said mattered… doesn't? This week I sit down with Amber Mayfield Hewett — event producer, founder of To Be Hosted, author of Your Turn to Host, Forbes 30 Under 30, and the woman behind the New York Times–covered Central Park picnic 'To Celebrate Black Life and Leisure.' At 33, Amber is the youngest guest we've ever had on Meanwhile, She, and she's built a seven-figure event production business with clients like Pinterest, Spotify, Peloton, and Pepsi — all while barely touching Instagram. We get into her non-linear path from the NBCUniversal Page Program to shooting Snapchat content for the Real Housewives at Bravo to producing $200K+ dinner parties, the Six-Figure Rule she gave her team about when she'll start posting on social, why she calls laughter "an underrated KPI," the truth about being married and refusing to be defined by it, what watching B. Smith taught her about what her career could be, why "on time is late" and she's fired people over it, and what it actually feels like to have accomplished this much this early. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.
