    BONUS EPISODE - Losing Everything: When Your Past Goes Up for Auction!!

    Have you ever stood at the precipice of asking for help, but couldn't bring yourself to take that final step? That paralyzing feeling of vulnerability might be more universal than we realize.When I lost everything I owned to a storage auction over an $800 debt, I faced a brutal choice: ask for help or let go of a decade's worth of memories and possessions. The anxiety of putting others in an uncomfortable position—of them having to say no, or saying yes when they couldn't afford to—led me to choose loss over vulnerability. It's a decision that sparked profound reflection on why asking for help feels so impossibly difficult, despite how simple others make it sound.This raw, unfiltered conversation explores what happens when financial hardship forces us to reconsider what matters most. Would you rather lose all your money or all your memories? Before my storage auction, I might have chosen differently. But now I understand that sometimes, in our society, money is what protects our memories in the first place.Despite this setback, I'm moving forward with intentional growth, expanding my consulting firm Wrap Shit With P to include VA services for creatives and businesses. My approach isn't about aggressive marketing or rapid scaling—it's about moving with purpose, humility, and faith that the right opportunities will find me as I continue building authentically.Whether you're navigating your own losses, struggling with asking for help, or building a business that aligns with your values rather than external expectations, this episode offers solidarity in your journey. Join the conversation on social media—tell me which you'd choose to lose: your money or your memories? And let's talk honestly about why asking for help feels so much harder than it should.

    S9E15 - Fake Friends and Frosted Mugs: Paula's Season Finale Truth Bomb!!

    Five years and 25,000 downloads later, Talk Show With P is approaching its final curtain call. This milestone episode celebrates the journey while announcing that Season 10 will be the show's grand finale. The podcast has been more than just conversations—it's been therapy, connection, and opportunity rolled into one dynamic platform. From hosting The Ambies red carpet to experiencing stand-up comedy for the first time, the show has opened doors that once seemed firmly shut. Recent adventures at Podcast Movement Evolutions in Chicago and the Dripping in Black Creators Retreat in Detroit have reinforced the power of authentic connection in a world often filled with surface-level relationships. Through candid reflection, we explore how the podcast landscape has changed over five years, and why it's sometimes necessary to recognize when reciprocity is missing in professional relationships. This isn't just about ending a show—it's about valuing energy, setting boundaries, and embracing evolution. The consulting company Wrap Shit With P will continue offering branding, merchandising and gifting services, proving that endings often birth beautiful beginnings. Season 10 promises to be spectacular, featuring special guests including the long-awaited appearance from Matthew, whose story has been intertwined with the podcast since its early days. To celebrate this journey, we're launching the "Ain't That Some Shit" giveaway where listeners can win custom merchandise by identifying the show's most-used phrases. If Talk Show With P has been part of your journey, share your memories, favorite episodes, or moments with me through social media or the SpeakPipe link. Your stories are the true measure of what these five years have meant—far more valuable than download numbers could ever be.

    S913 - Why You Should Always Rock Your Own Brand, Not Someone Else's. Mastering Media Lessons from a Growth Strategist!! #ShitHappens

    Growth strategy consultant S.A Grant joins the podcast to reveal the secrets behind building a personal brand empire that stands out in today's saturated media landscape. The conversation begins with a powerful challenge: why pay premium prices for someone else's brand when you could invest in your own? S.A explains the four critical types of branding—personal, business, service, and product—using Apple as the perfect example of how these elements work together to create a recognizable empire. The discussion takes an unexpected turn when S.A shares his audacious goal of purchasing streaming platform Tubi for $200 million, explaining how his current media ventures are building toward this seemingly impossible dream. "Why not shoot for the stars?" he asks, challenging listeners to think bigger about their own ambitions rather than settling for modest goals. Content creators will find a particular value in S.A's ingenious approach to content recycling. Rather than constantly creating new material, he explains how repurposing content strategically allows entrepreneurs to reach different segments of their audience by reposting at different times and days. This maximizes impact while reducing burnout—making 24 hours feel like 72 through smart automation. Perhaps most compelling is the emphasis on authenticity across all platforms. S.A argues that maintaining consistency in who you are online and offline creates the trust necessary for sustainable growth. Juggling different personas across contexts creates unnecessary mental strain, while being genuinely yourself everywhere builds credibility with audiences. Whether you're just starting your brand journey or looking to scale your existing media presence, this episode delivers actionable strategies for building a cohesive media empire where everything—from podcasts to merchandise to internet radio—works together as an interconnected ecosystem.

    Have you ever laughed off a technical glitch that set the tone for your entire day? That's exactly how Noreen and I began our episode, setting the stage for a lively discussion about life's unpredictability and the resilience it demands. We chuckle our way through unexpected events, personal anecdotes, and the relatable chaos of 2024's "Year of Possibilities," touching on everything from Noreen's morning workouts to her favorite reality TV indulgence, "Ready to Love." This episode is a reminder that even when things go awry, showing up for ourselves and our communities is what truly counts. As we navigate the quirky world of online dating, we share personal tales that range from amusing to downright puzzling, comparing platforms like Facebook Dating, Tinder, and Plenty of Fish. But it's not all about love and algorithms; we pivot to discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Mindful eating, listening to our bodies, and heart health take center stage, especially for black women. Our conversation highlights self-care and wellness as pivotal aspects of resilience and personal growth, with a dash of humor and honesty throughout. The journey from hardship to hope is illuminated by stories of determination and faith. We explore how mindset and prayer can guide us through overwhelming times, introducing listeners to the inspiring work of Noreen Foy, founder of Save Our Sisters. Noreen shares her empowering journey and announces an upcoming event in Peoria, Illinois, focusing on life after loss alongside Keisha Woods of Upgraded Mindsets.
