    "Friends Will Carry Yuh, But They Won’t Bring Yuh Back": Friendship, Influence & Accountability

    Friends Will Carry Yuh, But They Won’t Bring Yuh Back What happens when the people around us influence the decisions we make, and we're the ones left dealing with the consequences? In this solo episode, Ash explores the wisdom behind the Trinidadian proverb, “Friends will carry yuh, but they won't bring yuh back.” From a Jamaican woman's perspective, she unpacks what this saying can teach us about friendship, influence, peer pressure, personal responsibility, and the company we keep. Who do you become around your friends? Where are your friends taking you? This episode is a conversation about knowing yourself, recognizing when your environment is shaping your choices, and taking ownership without pretending that other people's influence doesn't matter. Because your friends may carry you somewhere...but ultimately, you have to live with where you end up. Grab your tea, coffee or glass of wine, and let's talk di tings!

    How to Stop Living on Autopilot & Start Living Intentionally | Ft. Alexia Hudson

    What happens when the life you've built no longer feels like the life you truly want? In this episode of Let's Talk Di Tings, we sit down with attorney, entrepreneur, mother, and Vision On Board founder Alexia Hudson for an honest conversation about burnout, purpose, ambition, and what it means to live intentionally.Alexia reflects on the season of life that led her to question everything she thought success was supposed to look like, and how that journey eventually inspired the creation of Vision On Board. We discuss her motherhood journey, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, friendship, identity, and the invisible pressure many women, particularly Caribbean women and women throughout the Caribbean diaspora, often feel to excel in every area of life while making it all look effortless. While our conversation is rooted in the Caribbean experience, its questions are universal. How do we know when we're living intentionally?How do we redefine success as our lives change?And how do we give ourselves permission to pursue a life that feels as meaningful as it appears successful? Whether you're building a business, navigating motherhood, changing careers, or simply searching for greater clarity and balance, we hope this conversation reminds you that it's never too late to pause, reflect, and choose a different path.
