We are Mikey and Randie Chapman, and your hosts of the Black Millennial Marriage Podcast. This podcast was created as a way to stay connected to one another. It was also formed so that we could have representation, meet other couples, and provide a space to talk about our 10+ years of relationship experience, including our years of marriage, and all we’re learning, unlearning, and loving about marriage.

But in this Indie Randie details the 4 things keeping her afloat, helping her resist despair, and inspiring her to imagine a better future. Because if Bisan from Gaza can show up, then so will she. Tune in as the shorter half of the BMM podcast shares her feelings on the world around her, the fear she and everyone else is feeling, and the raging determination she has to survive as those who came before her did. In the EP, Randie talks green juices, the Dodo Bird’s Youtube channel, her favorite go to app for self-care, and her new found fascination for Solarpunk art, activism, and literature. She hopes you’re being extra extra extra extra compassionate towards yourselves. And hopes you’re also taking care of your mental, physical, and all the things in between. Why? Because she wants you to survive too.

BMM EP 176: Phew. Glad We Didn't Know That.

My productivity hack https://magicmind.com/RANDIEPD40 Use my code RANDIEPD40 for getting 40% off your subscription (available only for the first 10 orders) . . . In hindsight, there are many things the Chapmans are glad they didn’t know before they got married. And they bet you would agree. Tune in as one of your favorite couples discuss what was worth finding out . . . all after the fact. For Mikey, it’s how deep fatherhood really is. He realizes he was thinking too small when his original goal was to be better than his dad. For Randie, it’s learning that none of their plans mattered. Life lifes, whether you’re good or not. And more. It’s a fun convo with a semi-heated fight or flight that’s about . . . you guessed it. Electricity. God, they’re old.  But it’s all love, as always, when the Chapmans show each other some gratitude during their PDA. As always, they hope you enjoy.  Items Mentioned: Join Our Patreon Family: http://bit.ly/JOINBMM * Check out singer, songwriter, and actress Ebony Jenae https://www.instagram.com/ebonyjenae_/  Follow BMM on Social Media:   * FB: http://bit.ly/BMMonFB * IG: http://bit.ly/BMMonIG * Twitter: http://bit.ly/BMMonTwitter Contact * Email: blackmilmar@gmail.com * Leave a voicemail: 770-750-4098 Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/black-millennial-marriage/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

BMM EP 171: This Again?

Hey y’all!  Tune in as Mikey and Randie talk about money . . . again.   And the backstory involves Youtube Premium and wondering who gon’ pay the bill LOL.  Together, the Chapmans reveal what’s been going on with work and money, and all the POSITIVE things they’re doing instead of—or in conjunction with— the “bad” habits. The “good” habits range from speaking up and refusing to isolate from friends, re-parenting themselves, and not OD’ing on chocolate. There’s more but you gotta press play.  Later, Mikey brings a fight or flight wishing Randie would love him in a more goofier way…? But it’s all love as y’all know, when in the end they show each other some PDA. As always, your hosts appreciate you for listening and rocking with them for all of these years. They wouldn’t be here without your support and they want you to know they’re grateful.

Happy I Stumbled Upon This Show

Aug 7

Cxcggujm17

I recently found this show and listened to episode 155. Loved it. Learned so much about myself, and discovered resources I didn’t even know I could have access to. Thank you both for the vulnerability. Looking forward to more
Wish I would have found you sooner

I first heard about your podcast from the collaboration y’all did with Sistas who kill. I am currently listening from the beginning. Just finished episode 25 and loving it. I chose the title wish I would have found you sooner because looking at the year you’ll started this was the year my marriage was taking a turn and I think this podcast would have given us great tools for our marriage. Sadly we are divorced but we are still friends and we both think that it’s for the best. Even though I didn’t find you guys sooner I’m happy I found you now and I’m taking all the notes for my future. Love you guys and can’t wait to be all caught up so I can listen in real time.

I just want to say I wish I could have found this podcast when y’all originally started back in 2018, 😩 oh how y’all’s perspective on life could have helped my mindset, however I found you all right when I needed too! Keep thriving & being a great inspiration to all marriages 🫶🏾
