    206. The Women Behind the Win: From Last Place to Legendary with Golden Tempo Energy

    She didn’t rush. She didn’t chase. She didn’t ask for permission. She waited… and then passed everyone. In this episode of BabeAF, we’re breaking down the energy behind the 2026 Kentucky Derby win and the woman who made history—Cherie DeVaux, the first female trainer to ever take the crown. But this isn’t just about horse racing. This is about timing. Your timing. We’re talking about what it means to be underestimated, overlooked, or feeling like you’re “behind”—and why that might actually be your advantage. From dead last to first place, this story flips everything you thought you knew about success, hustle, and when things are “supposed” to happen. If you’ve been in your build phase… if life feels slower than everyone else’s highlight reel… if you’re quietly putting in work with nothing to show (yet)— This is your stretch moment. Press play for: 🔥 The mindset shift from rushing → aligning 🔥 Why being underestimated is your secret weapon 🔥 How to trust your pace (even when it’s uncomfortable) 🔥 And the real definition of Golden Tempo energy Because you’re not late. You’re just not finished. And when you move? You move DIFFERENT

    205. Raise Hell on International Women’s Day

    International Women’s Day isn’t just about inspirational quotes and pink cupcakes. It started because women were done asking politely. In this short BabeAF episode, we’re talking about the real spirit behind International Women’s Day — bold women who challenged the rules, demanded more, and refused to shrink themselves to make the world comfortable. Inside this episode: • Why confidence comes after you do the brave thing • The rebellious energy that built the women’s movement • A simple challenge to help you step into your boldest self today Because the truth is… Confidence doesn’t magically appear when you feel ready. It shows up after you take the leap. So today’s BabeAF dare? Do one bold thing the old version of you would’ve talked yourself out of. Happy International Women’s Day, babes. Now go raise a little hell.

    204. Getting Crystal Clear on Who She Is — and Who She Needs #becomingbabeaf

    In this week’s episode, we’re getting honest about the version of you that you’re becoming — the woman with clarity, calm, standards, routines, and a whole upgraded main-character energy. But here’s the twist: You can get crystal clear on your future self all you want… yet sometimes you can’t step into her without help from the people who love you. I’m diving into the weekend lesson that smacked me gently across the face: sometimes I overcomplicate things in friendships, and sometimes the simplest, softest version of me is the most aligned with who I’m becoming. This episode explores: ✨ What your future self actually looks like ✨ Why simplifying your friendships matters ✨ How good intentions can overwhelm people ✨ And why you can’t evolve in isolation — you need your people It’s equal parts introspection, honesty, and “oh damn, that’s me.” Tune in and let’s grow without the chaos.

    203. Unfuckery Chronicles 11/18: KEEPING FRIENDSHIPS SIMPLE (OVERCOMPLICATING IS SO LAST SEASON)

    This week’s Unfuckery Chronicles is a deep dive into something I didn’t know I needed to hear: ✨ Friendships are allowed to be simple. I talk about the moment I realized I was unintentionally overwhelming someone with too much explanation, too much intention, too much emotional noise. And how stepping back, simplifying, and communicating clearly can actually strengthen your friendships — not shrink them. If love is the intention, simplicity is the delivery. Let’s talk about the soft, grown, uncluttered side of friendship.

    201. Unfuckery Chronicles 9/21: inclusion vs consideration

    In this episode, we dive into Anthony D. Brice’s powerful poem “included vs considered”—a piece that’s been circulating on Instagram and sparking real reflection. At first glance, an invitation might feel like everything—it gets you into the room, to the table, or onto the stage. But Brice reminds us that true belonging isn’t just about being invited, it’s about being considered once you’re there. We’ll unpack what this means in everyday life—friendships, workplaces, communities, and even self-worth. Why does it sting when you’re invited but not valued? And how do we make sure we’re not just giving people access, but giving them space, voice, and respect? Tune in for a conversation that challenges us to look deeper at how we welcome others and how we demand more for ourselves. Because an invitation opens the door, but consideration keeps it unlocked. Thank you @anthonydbrice 👏🏼🎉!
