    Are Online Coaches Predatory? Life Savings vs. Life Coaching: Exposing the Life Coaching Industry

    Are Online Coaches Predatory? Life Savings vs. Life Coaching: Exposing the Life Coaching Industry

    Margo & Tashira join us while on the road for their Pittsburgh workshop, and stop to chat about their experiences with the life coaching industry. The New York Times recently published an article about about victims who had spent their life savings on life coaching.
    They discuss the challenges of finding a good life coach, and Tashira shares her own struggles with the desire to offer services, while at the same time recognizing that most people will be unable to maintain the discipline required to become a popular online personality and influencer, and not wanting to profit from providing false hope.

    The Democratic Party is SHOOK! Thoughts on Kamala Harris Becoming the Presidential Nominee

    The Democratic Party is SHOOK! Thoughts on Kamala Harris Becoming the Presidential Nominee

    Margo & Tashira join us for this rapid response episode, in which they dicuss President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, and his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. Margo & Tashira discuss the relief, new feelings of hope, and excitement that they are feeling with the developments of the last 24 hours. We dig into what we expect the response to be from the Trump campaign, and what it will mean to very likely have a black female candidate for president with the potential to win.

    Is Project 2025 Real & Should President Biden Step Down Now? What You Need to Know...

    What is actually going on? What is Project 2025? Is it real and should Biden step down now? Our thoughts and more about the not-so-secret project from The Heritage Foundation, which, if successfully implemented would be catastrophic for the rights of LGBTQIA+ Americans and usher in a wave of Christian nationalism that will set back much of the social progress of the last 25 years.

    "Manopshere" Subculture & Hannah Pearl Davis' War on Single Moms

    In this episode Margo and Tashira discuss "The Manosphere." From the Institute for Strategic Dialogue: The "manosphere" is an umbrella term that refers to a number of interconnected misogynistic communities. It encompasses multiple types and severities of misogyny – from broader male supremacist discourse to men’s rights activism (MRA) and “involuntary celibates” (incels). Simply put, the manosphere encompasses a range of misogynistic communities that vary from anti-feminism to more explicit, violent rhetoric towards women. This ISD Explainer explores the more extreme and divisive proponents of these online communities.

    In this episode Margo & Tashira, chat with Producer Roger about one manosphere influencer in particular, Hannah Pearl Davis, and specifically to remarks she made on her show about how misguided it is to celebrate single moms on Mother's Day...

Just Do Subscribe!

justUS takes on the literal sense of its title in that whether I’m watching them on their YT channel or listening via Apple Podcast subscription I feel as though it’s “just us” in a room full of seasoned souls—big age brigade baddies. I remember seeing the “sizzle” teaser when justUS pod was being announced via IG. I wasn’t as familiar with the co-host, but knew instantly that a best friend of Tishara would ultimately become a friend of mine. Hey, Margo, hey! (The gag is both ladies are friends of mine, in my head.) They are exceptional at what they do—bringing to life so many of the topics I want to hear/talk/amen/shout/cuss/smile/laugh about. They do it through their gift for gab, intellect l, humor, transparency and authenticity…all while looking stylish. I am so grateful there is a space for these two real women talking social and current events and in support of their efforts. It’s time I give them my “just due” via review. Listen and subscribe. You won’t be disappointed. xoxo @proactiff

Fun and informative

As a woman of a big age, I have been wanting to listen to podcasts that focused on topics that interest me. I know no matter the age, everyone has something they can teach. However, it feels good to hear from people who are experiencing what I’m experiencing. Listening to Tashira and Margo make feel like I’m hanging with my friends. We laugh, we educate, we support and have a good time. Justus is an amazing podcast. I plan to be a lifelong listener!
