    Everything Is Political — Yes, Even Buc-ee’s!

    What if I told you that politics isn’t just elections, politicians, and what happens in Washington? It’s your paycheck. Your rent. Your groceries. Your healthcare. Your child’s education. Your neighborhood. Your voting access. Your job and yes…even where Buc-ee’s decides to build a store. In this episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, we’re having a real conversation about the ways politics quietly—and sometimes loudly—shows up in our everyday lives. We’re talking about power, policy, money, business, local government, voting access, and the decisions that shape the communities we live in. From Tarrant County’s recent changes to its polling locations to Buc-ee’s CEO Arch “Beaver” Aplin III discussing the importance of conservative, business-friendly states, we’re unpacking why you can’t always separate politics from real life. This isn’t about telling you what political party to support. It’s about encouraging you to pay attention because you don’t have to be obsessed with politics. You don’t have to argue about politics but you should understand how the decisions being made around you can affect your money, your family, your opportunities, your community, and your future. Whether you realize it or not…politics is doing you. 🎧 Press play. Think deeper. Ask questions. Get informed. Pretty Prissy Chronicles Real Conversations. A More Beautiful Life on Purpose.

    Everybody Loves a Black Woman Behind the Scenes

    Everybody loves the Black woman who writes the speech, fixes the strategy, organizes the people, protects the mission, and makes the person in front look prepared…but what happens when she steps out of the background and says, “I am qualified to lead”? In this bold episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth examines why Black women are often trusted with the labor of leadership but questioned when they pursue the title, authority, recognition, and power that should come with it. From workplaces and churches to nonprofits, campaigns, and political organizations, this conversation explores invisible leadership, stolen credit, delayed promotions, performative support, and the expectation that Black women remain loyal assistants to someone else’s success. Elisabeth also connects this pattern to former Vice President Kamala Harris—an experienced leader who was trusted to serve one heartbeat away from the presidency, yet faced renewed questions about her readiness when she stepped forward to seek the office herself. This episode asks the uncomfortable question: Do people truly value Black women’s leadership—or do they only love it when it benefits someone else from behind the scenes? For every Black woman who has built the stage, prepared the room, carried the vision, and watched someone else receive the applause—this episode is for you. You were never just the woman behind the scenes. You were the reason the scene worked. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-prissy-chronicles--5754878/support.

    Black Women are Not Your Organizational Cleanup Crew

    What happens when organizations praise Black women for being “strong” but quietly expect them to carry the weight of everyone else’s responsibilities? In this unapologetic episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth dives into the uncomfortable truth about how Black women are too often expected to fix broken workplaces, lead struggling nonprofits, rescue political campaigns, organize churches, mentor coworkers, and hold entire organizations together—often without the authority, resources, compensation, or support to match. From boardrooms to classrooms, churches to campaign headquarters, this episode exposes the invisible labor Black women perform every day and challenges the systems that mistake reliability for endless availability. Elisabeth also examines how this pattern extends into politics, including the overwhelming support Black women showed during the 2024 presidential election and the ongoing expectation that they will continue to save institutions that have yet to fully invest in or empower them. This isn’t about complaining. It’s about accountability. It’s about leadership. It’s about power and it’s about asking one simple question: Do organizations truly value Black women’s leadership—or have they simply become dependent on Black women’s labor? If you’ve ever been the one everyone called when things fell apart, this conversation is for you. Listen. Reflect. Share and join the conversation!

    Closure Is Overrated: Sometimes Closure Is Accepting They Already Gave You the Answer

    What if the closure you’ve been waiting for…is never coming? In this heartfelt episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, we’re unpacking one of the biggest myths about healing: the belief that we need one more conversation, one more apology, or one more explanation before we can finally move on. We’ll talk about why some people never apologize, why silence is sometimes an answer, and how waiting for accountability from someone who refuses to take responsibility can keep you emotionally stuck. Whether you’re grieving the end of a relationship, a friendship, family conflict, church hurt, or a career disappointment, this episode will encourage you to stop chasing explanations and start choosing peace because healing doesn’t begin when they finally understand your pain—it begins when you stop giving them permission to control your future. In this episode, we discuss: * Why closure is often overrated * Accepting the apology you may never receive * Ghosting, friendship breakups, and church hurt * Forgiveness vs. reconciliation * Releasing people without resentment * Choosing peace over unanswered questions * Trusting God when life doesn’t make sense Remember this: Sometimes closure isn’t hearing them say, “I’m sorry.” Sometimes closure is hearing yourself say, “I deserve better.” 🎧 Grab your favorite drink, take a deep breath, and join me for another honest conversation filled with faith, healing, growth, and practical wisdom. Welcome to Pretty Prissy Chronicles—where we have real conversations, real healing, and real life.
