    The Empathy Deficit in 2025

    We live in a country where violence goes viral, grief becomes content, and policies are passed without care for the people most affected. Empathy these days feels like it’s on life support. In this episode, we talk about the empathy crisis in America, how we got here, and why choosing to care is more necessary than ever. 💜Tap in for the conversation, stay for the reminders.

    Attachment Styles & the Art of Being Unbothered (Kinda)

    We’re sharing our top 3 biggest turn-offs and a few things that pissed us off this week—yes, we’re naming names (and behaviors). Then we got into the meat of the episode: attachment styles. We discussed how they manifest in our relationships, how they influence the way we connect (or disconnect), and why it’s so challenging to relinquish control when we’re deeply invested in an outcome. 🧠 Curious about your attachment style?

    Black Fatigue: WTF

    We’re tired, but we’re not turning on our people.In this episode, we unpack the term Black fatigue and our thoughts on this article that says the answer is walking away from “embarrassing” parts of our community.

    We Weren’t Okay. Here’s What We Did About It.

    This episode is all about the moment we realized: no one was coming to save us, and it was up to us to do the saving. From anxiety spirals to relationship red flags, we talk about the exact moments we knew we had to choose ourselves, and what it looked like to actually do that. The work wasn’t cute, but it was necessary. Plus, we get into some of the random things we just don’t like: from trying to work in coffee shops to other icks we can’t unsee. **As promised, HERE’s the clip of Leticia James delivering her powerful speech (mentioned at 00:02:30) . . . .
