Meanwhile, She with Aisha Beau

Aisha Beau Frisbey

Meanwhile, She is a podcast hosted by Aisha Beau Frisbey, where conversations unfold from her own couch—honest, layered, and reflective of how women actually live. It feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on something real. Across conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us, the show explores what women choose, what they carry, and what it takes to stay connected to themselves. Some moments are reflective. Some are sharp. Some are unexpectedly funny—because the best conversations aren’t one-note. If you’ve ever found yourself in between who you were and who you’re becoming… you’ll feel at home here.

    You Don't Know Where Your "Yes" Is Leading To with Janesha Moore

    What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the yes you keep saying no to? This week I sit down with Janesha Moore — the Philadelphia-based creator behind The Strategic Influencer, Move Moore, and the faith-based jewelry brand The Merciful Collective. Janesha was laid off from a corporate marketing role in 2023 and used that moment to build a multi-brand business that now reaches hundreds of thousands of women. But this conversation isn't about how she built the business. It's about who she's had to become to hold it — and what it actually feels like to be in what she calls a fighting season. We get into how one yes to skydiving turned into the New York City Marathon and eventually Move Moore, why she believes God gives you assignments no one else can confirm, the “productive distractions” framework she uses to protect her focus, what her DMs have taught her about being an affiliate creator in a world that looks down on them, and the mantra she leans on every day: "I’ma cry, but I’ma continue." 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Never Treat a Man as a Financial Plan with Danica Nelson

    What if rest and freedom aren't luxuries you have to earn over 40 years — but line items you can budget, plan, and take right now? This week I sit down with Danica Nelson, a Toronto-based money educator and founder of Liberty Leave, the platform teaching women how to fund career breaks and sabbaticals without going broke. Danica grew up in social community housing raised by a single mother, put herself through university debt-free, and then engineered her own six-month solo sabbatical through Southeast Asia after saving for 18 months. She's on a mission to be "work optional by 45" and she's teaching women how to do the same. We get into the three money buckets every woman needs to understand, why you can't budget your way out of not making enough money, the grandfather story that convinced her every woman needs a money binder, what slow travel actually looks like when you're not on vacation, and the 5 things to have in place before you take your own career break. And beneath all of it, the deeper thesis: that building wealth is the best form of love you can give yourself. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    The Six-Figure Rule That Built a 7-Figure Business with Amber Mayfield Hewett

    What if the follower count everyone said mattered… doesn't? This week I sit down with Amber Mayfield Hewett — event producer, founder of To Be Hosted, author of Your Turn to Host, Forbes 30 Under 30, and the woman behind the New York Times–covered Central Park picnic 'To Celebrate Black Life and Leisure.' At 33, Amber is the youngest guest we've ever had on Meanwhile, She, and she's built a seven-figure event production business with clients like Pinterest, Spotify, Peloton, and Pepsi — all while barely touching Instagram. We get into her non-linear path from the NBCUniversal Page Program to shooting Snapchat content for the Real Housewives at Bravo to producing $200K+ dinner parties, the Six-Figure Rule she gave her team about when she'll start posting on social, why she calls laughter "an underrated KPI," the truth about being married and refusing to be defined by it, what watching B. Smith taught her about what her career could be, why "on time is late" and she's fired people over it, and what it actually feels like to have accomplished this much this early. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    The Real Luxury Is Owning It, with Beverly Beal

    What if real luxury isn’t simply being able to afford more—but owning enough of your life that no one else gets to decide what happens to it? This week I sit down with Beverly Beal, an intellectual property attorney, founder of Fine Line Non-Alcoholic Spirits and GiftBiz, and part of the family behind a growing community coffee shop in Detroit. Beverly has never been especially interested in following the timeline handed to her. Her philosophy is “delusion over doubt,” and beneath the humor and audacity is a woman who has spent years building the experience, skills, and self-trust to know that even if she lost everything tomorrow, she could build it back. We get into the mother who made sure Beverly saw a world beyond her immediate surroundings, how moving to a new city without much of a social life unexpectedly led her to start her own law firm, and the thread of ownership running through everything she touches—from helping people protect their ideas to creating businesses, investing, and building gathering spaces in her own community. We also talk about the ulcerative colitis diagnosis that reshaped how she moves through work and wellness, why confidence comes during the process rather than after the achievement, her growing obsession with day trading, why women need to talk about money without shame, and the difference between earning a living and constructing a life that truly belongs to you.

    The Real Privilege Wasn't Money, It Was Being Allowed to Stay Creative with Andrea Lewis

    What if the greatest privilege you could give a child isn't opportunity — it's being allowed to stay creative? This week I sit down with actress, filmmaker, and creator Andrea Lewis — Degrassi's Hazel, the mind behind Netflix's The Black Beauty Effect, and now the creator of Glam Culture, her regional beauty docuseries. Andrea moves through the world with a rare kind of peace about her own timeline, and this conversation is a masterclass in what that actually looks like in practice. We get into how Essence Fest became her manifestation machine, the two women who shaped her sense of style (her Kingstonian grandmother and her cowgirl-Jamaican mother), the Maya Angelou advice she got at 15 that changed how she ages, the honest reality of crowdfunding your own art — what she calls "Game of Thrones shame" — the PCOS diagnosis that reshaped how she moves through the world, why you need champions (not connections) to actually move a career forward, and why the most valuable thing she inherited was being allowed to stay creative without anyone trying to pull it back. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday  🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday  Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Landing Your Dream Career Without Code-Switching with Chee Smalls

    How do you build the career you actually want—inside an industry that was not exactly built for you—without softening who you are to fit inside it? Chee Smalls has spent fifteen years answering that question. She is Senior Director of Product Development at Coach, a style voice, and a content creator. She is also a Harlem girl who has never—not once, not in a single meeting, not in a single boardroom—code-switched a day of her career. That refusal is the whole conversation. In this episode, we get into how she got into fashion without the resume the industry usually demands, and how curiosity became her actual professional currency. We talk about the moments when she could have softened her voice to fit a room and didn't, and what that cost her at first, and what it eventually earned her. Her personal philosophy on luxury and why she refuses to follow trends—including the very sharp question she asks about whether the algorithm is quietly killing our individuality. The features she was insecure about for years and what changed when she stopped shrinking from them. Her marriage as a real partnership—the "we take turns climbing" model she and her husband built, where one goes head-down while the other holds it together, then they switch. And how she is thinking about ambition, identity, and the life she is building on her own terms. She closes the episode with an "I am" affirmation you'll want to write down: "I am beauty. I am woman. I am ambition. I am God's favored and blessed. I am me." This is also the first episode with our new behind-the-scenes intro. We shot Chee arriving at the door, the two of us mixing a rosé lemonade in my kitchen, and the moment before we settled onto the couch. The full recipe is below, make it while you listen:    Meanwhile, She Rosé Lemonade Makes 4 cocktails (about 5 oz each) Ingredients 1 bottle (750 mL) chilled rosé (The Beach Ros√©) 1/2 cup (4 oz) freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 oz Grand Marnier 1 1/2 oz simple syrup 1 oz agave nectar Ice   Optional Garnishes Lemon wheels Fresh mint Edible rose petals (if you're feeling fancy) Frozen raspberries or strawberries   Instructions In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice, Grand Marnier, simple syrup, and agave.
