This week, we’re tapping into current events. We’re talking about the wars in Palestine, Ghana and good vs evil. The multiple Trump trials, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and what accountability, justice, and equity actually mean in this world. We’re also finally recording in person, which hit a few technical difficulties.

What are you reading this week?

Sylvia: In the Flo by Alisa Vitti

Lori: The Twelve Universal Law of Success by Dr. Herbert Harris

This week, we’re talking about the collective cathartic release we had watching The Battle of Montgomery. Some call it the Riverwalk Rumble and others Fade in the Water. Regardless, many of us felt like we could finally take a deep breath while watching the collective actions of those who came to the aid of a Black man being brutalized at the hands of a group of white men and women. Seeing every angle of Aquamayne swimming across that river or Unc swinging that folding chair was less about the violence and more about the instant karma, accountability, and people banding together to say we’re not gonna take it anymore!

This week, we're airing our collaboration with Arletha from The Boss Babes Healing Podcast. Arletha was a guest on our show last month. This time we're talking about being overlooked and unappreciated. Whether in relationships, religion, or a job, many of us go through situations where we aren't seen or heard, but how we move on makes all the difference.
