    Global Mayhem, Personal Peace

    The world can be wild, y'all. From headlines that feel like plot twists to collective energy that's just... off — it's a lot. This week on The Silver Cocoon, we're slowing down to ask: What's actually going on out there? How do we stay present without spiraling? What do we prioritize to stay sane, grounded, and soft in the middle of it all? We also play a new game "Ground Me or Gaslight Me," where we each bring one real headline and two fakes. Can you guess which one is true? Follow us on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram at The Silver Cocoon Podcast

    Letters to Our Younger Selves

    We all have a younger version of ourselves tucked inside-the dreamer, the worrier, the romantic, the rebel. And let's be real: teenage us was doing the best she could...even if she was a whole hot mess sometimes. On this episode, we're traveling back in time, reading letters to our younger selves, and sharing the stories, secrets, and moments that shaped who we are today. From crushes that felt like destiny to the lessons we wish we'd learned sooner, we're reflecting on how much we've grown-and how much of that teenage magic we still carry. Tap in with us live and tell us: what would you say to your younger self?

    The Life Of The Creative: In Honor Of Robert Spencer

    This episode is special because it just so happens to fall on our beloved late brother and uncle's birthday. Eight years after the passing of Robert—musician, actor, and radiant creative—we reflect on the indelible mark he left on our lives and our art. In this episode, we explore what it means to live as an artistic soul: the courage it takes to create, the fine line between a mistake and a masterpiece, and the legacy we leave behind, intentionally or not. We dive into the emotional currents that shape our work, the differences between art for passion and art for commission, and how others interpret what we make.  Join us HERE on Facebook live for episode 16 on June 24th at 7:30pm ET.

    You Good?: A Mental Health Love Note

    On this week's episode of The Silver Cocoon, we're doing a full mental health check-in. With each other and with our audience, while covering some topics that are often left out. From the stigma men face, to self-medicating, to how we protect our peace and find our joy—this is a conversation full of softness, strategy, and honesty.   We're sharing the practices, tools, and truths that help us care for our minds and return to ourselves. Plus, a fun little game to bring some levity.   Even through mental stressors, we believe this is how we birth new experiences—how we shift norms, model healing, and show up with more presence for ourselves and each other. It's a testament to the resilience of humanity and the beauty of choosing care, connection, and joy—even when it's hard.   What better way to check in then face to face? It's always a time when we are together. Mental health can be such heavy topic, so we decided to bring some light into this episode and not only discuss the ups and downs with mental health but also some resources you can use to help improve yours and/or keep it steady! You can access these resources on our Facebook and Instagram pages. And as always feel free to follow us on all platroms HERE, we appreciate all the support!   Join us LIVE in the Cocoon on Facebook and Youtube every other Tuesday at 7:30PM ET. Until next time, peace.

    Raising Children While Raising Ourselves Pt. 2 w/ Adia Wright and Andre Wideman

    Last episode, we dug deep into "Raising Kids While Raising Ourselves: What Parents Learn and Children Observe" —and it sparked even more conversation than we anticipated (which is always a good thing!). We didn't even get to everything, so you know we had to come back for PART 2!

    Raising Children While Raising Ourselves Pt. 1 w/ Adia Wright

    Listen to the FULL episode on Youtube. This week's topic was so expansive that we went over recording threshold by 15 minutes! As a result, this episode is missing the last 15 minutes. Head over to our youtube channel to see the rest! https://www.youtube.com/live/PrNxj2I8uZk?si=kdMZ-HU1eQJLK92M   Parenting isn't just about raising boys one way and girls another—it's about raising whole humans. But let's be real, the way we parent has been shaped by tradition, gender roles, and the cycles passed down to us. Some of it works. Some of it? Not so much.   So how do we raise children to be their fullest selves? How do we parent the "right" way vs. the real way? And what about the aunties, mentors, and community members who shape kids just as much as parents do?

    Love in the Algorithm: How Social Media Shapes Relationships, Friendships, and Self-Worth

    Leveling Up: Let Go or Stay Stuck

    Life's transitions aren't always easy, but staying stuck is even harder. In this episode, we dive into what causes resistance to letting go, what "leveling up" really means, and practical ways to release people, feelings, and situations that no longer serve us. We also break down the benefits of letting go—like the freedom and clarity that come with it. To keep things fun, we played some revealing games, including a round of Would You Rather? focused on what we'd choose to let go of, and Two Truths and a Lie about what we've already released.
