For the girlies who get it. I talk about everything. Literally. Pattern recognition, cultural commentary, what I learned this week, why that guy's text was weird. I process ideas, spot patterns, and connect dots you didn't know needed connecting. A variety show (are those even a thing for podcasts?) where some episodes are 7 minutes, some are an hour. Always worth the listen.

    How to Lose a Guy, a Play, and an Empire Without Saying a Word

    What happens when you walk away without a word? This episode dives deep into how silence and unspoken assumptions actively shape endings in our lives, from a quiet situationship to major cultural and historical events. We explore how pride, avoidance, and a lack of clear communication influence outcomes far beyond dating. You’ll hear how this pattern repeats across empires (Cleopatra and Mark Antony), creative partnerships (Hurston and Hughes), and political movements (Malcolm X and MLK Jr.). The main takeaway: Silence may feel like protection, but it always leaves gaps for guesswork, distance, and misunderstanding. Speaking up allows for closure, even without agreement.

    The Real Reason Your Auntie Thinks Beyoncé is a "Horror"

It’s easy to love Beyoncé until she reminds you of everything you never got to be. This episode asks what really sits behind the judgment, the side-eye, and the “she thinks she’s all that” energy.

    What if the problem isn’t your job, but who you’ve become because of it? In this episode, Candice unpacks the burnout that pushed her to walk away and the rise of micro-retirements, intentional breaks that challenge the idea of grinding for 40 years before you get to live.
