    S3:E12 - Overthinking Isn’t Who You Are—It’s What You Learned to Survive

    Overthinking isn’t a personality trait—it’s a survival response. In this soul-shifting episode of KennTalks, we’re unpacking the real cost of overthinking, why it shows up in the first place, and how to finally break free from the cycle. Whether you’re someone who spirals in silence or you love someone who does, this one-on-one conversation will meet you where you are—and walk you toward clarity, softness, and self-trust. This episode is for the person who’s always in their head… and finally ready to come home to their body, their peace, and their truth. In this episode, we explore:   •  What overthinking really looks like (and how it hides in plain sight)   •  Why so many Black women—and others—learn to equate perfection with safety   •  The emotional and relational cost of staying in the spiral   •  A simple but powerful coaching reframe to break the cycle   •  Permission to stop performing and start healing You’re not broken. You’re just tired. And this? This is your reset.

    S3:E11 - What If Monogamy Wasn’t the Default?

    What if monogamy wasn’t the default? In this intimate episode, I share the truth about the lifestyle my partner Thadijah and I live—from polyamory and open relationships to emotional depth, boundaries, and real communication. This is for anyone who’s ever felt like love should expand you—not shrink you. We’re talking jealousy, freedom, sexual exploration, and what it means to be nesting partners in a world that only teaches one kind of love. This one’s real. This one’s raw. And this one might just change the way you see love forever. Connect with me: Instagram: @KennTalks

    S3:E10 - The Aftershock: Panic, Shame & the Fight to Feel Whole Again

    Three weeks ago, I had my first panic attack in over a year. Since then, I’ve had another—and a full body shutdown that left me speechless, paralyzed, and scared for my life. In this raw and vulnerable episode, I open up about the silent shame that followed, the disconnect in my relationships, and how I’ve been fighting to feel whole again. This isn’t just about mental health—it’s about survival. It’s about feeling misunderstood, unseen, and still showing up anyway. If you’ve ever dealt with panic attacks, or if you love someone who has, this conversation is for you.

    S3:E8 (Part Two) - When Love Gets Real: The Truth About Our Relationship

    Love isn’t just about connection—it’s about disconnection, growth, and choosing each other through the hard moments. In this second episode of our special multi-part series, Thadijah and I continue our unfiltered conversation about our relationship, our challenges, and what happens when we hit those moments of misalignment. This time, we’re breaking down the patterns in our disconnects—how the same issues kept showing up, why we reacted the way we did, and the lessons we’ve learned about communication, defensiveness, and emotional triggers. We’re keeping it real about what it takes to break cycles, own our truth, and move forward together. If you missed part one, go back and catch up—because this conversation is building, and we’re not holding back. And get ready, because next week’s final episode of this series brings an epiphany neither of us saw coming. Grab your popcorn, pour a glass of wine, and let’s get into it.

    S3:E8 (Part One) - When Love Gets Real: The Truth About Our Relationship

    Love isn’t just about the highs—it’s about the work, the challenges, and the moments that test you. In this special multi-part series, my fiancée, Thadijah, and I are pulling back the curtain on our relationship and keeping it real, raw, and unfiltered. In this first episode, we’re taking you back to the very beginning—how we met, what drew us to each other, and the disconnect that nearly ended us before we even got started. From Hinge matches to heated arguments, we’re talking about the lessons we’ve learned, the misunderstandings that almost broke us, and why navigating love isn’t always a straight path. So grab your popcorn and a glass of red wine (because this is definitely an Olivia Pope moment), and let’s get into it.

    S3:E7 - Disconnected But Not Broken: Why Every Relationship Needs Distance
