Mercedes is a proud heffa who loves to cackle and chat it up, and I’m excited to share my conversations with you!

The podcast will still feature a range of segments, including “Random Thoughts,” “This Heffas's Weird Obsessions” and "Heffa of the Week” (where I highlight amazing people doing great things), plus “What am I rotting to?” where I discuss my book recommendations, movie reviews, or TV show reviews.
