What happens when two very different histories of men, masculinity, and power end up in the same marriage? In this episode of The Yes Work Podcast, we invite our husbands into the conversation to reflect on what it’s been like to love women who were still unlearning what they’d been taught about safety, leadership, and partnership.

Lady B, Dr. DQ, and Dr. Blaire revisit how culture, family, church, and survival shaped their expectations of men long before Scripture or conscious choice ever entered the picture. Then their husbands share where they noticed unspoken assumptions, quiet self‑protection, inherited pressure, and the weight of trying to be “a good man” to a woman with very real history.

This is a listening episode, a space to notice how formation shows up in marriage, in expectations, in reactions, and in the stories you rarely say out loud. If you’ve ever wondered why you brace in certain moments, why “covering” can feel like control, or why partnership feels tender and complicated at the same time, this conversation will give you language, curiosity, and relief.

For the woman (and the couple) ready to explore how your past shaped what you need, fear, and hope for in love, Episode 6 offers a gentle and honest “yes” to understanding each other and inviting God into what formed you both.

What happens when your ideas about God, men, and power were shaped more by culture and patriarchy than by Scripture? In this episode of The Yes Work Podcast, we’re telling the truth about how we learned God, “headship,” and authority through households, workplaces, and pain long before we ever opened a Bible.

Dr. Blaire, Dr. DQ, and Lady B share real stories of father wounds, male leadership gone wrong, and the confusion that comes when masculinity is taught as dominance instead of responsibility, and authority as control instead of care. We name what it’s like to love God and still feel wary of men, crave partnership but fear power imbalance, and carry resentment.

For the woman who loves God, wrestles with authority, and is ready to unlearn what culture got wrong, Episode 5 is your invitation to curiosity, clarity, and a gentle unlearning .

What happens when your independence — the thing that once protected you — starts costing your peace?

In this episode of The Yes Work Podcast, Dr. Blaire, Dr. DQ, and Lady B unpack how hyper-competence, control, and the “strong one” identity can quietly keep us from trusting God.

If you’ve ever said “I’m fine, I’ll handle it” while secretly feeling burned out, this conversation is for you. Through honest storytelling and faith-filled reflection, we explore how to surrender without losing yourself, how to rest without fear, and what healthy dependence on God can actually look like.

For generations, Black women have been praised for their strength, endurance, and grace under pressure—but at what cost? In this episode of The Yes Work Podcast, Lady B, Dr. DQ, and Dr. Blaire ask the hard question: What have Black women been taught to endure quietly?

Through raw conversation and real stories, we unpack and wrestle with faith, honesty, and the fear of being labeled “ungrateful” or “angry” when simply telling the truth.

This episode is for the woman who’s been carrying pain in secret while calling it faith. You’ll leave with permission to speak truth to God boldly and honestly. Because your voice isn’t rebellion. It’s worship!

You did everything you were supposed to do. You worked hard. You achieved. You showed up. So why does your soul still feel unsettled?

In this episode of The Yes Work! Podcast, we confront a truth we can no longer ignore: success does not settle the soul.

Across industries, platforms, and public stages, we see accomplished women winning outwardly while quietly wrestling inwardly.

Through honest conversation and personal testimony, we explore why exhaustion is often information and how success can distract us from surrender when it isn’t rooted in God’s order. We talk openly about comparison, over-serving, spiritual restlessness, and the hidden cost of measuring progress instead of alignment.

- If you are a woman of faith who looks “successful” on paper but feels disconnected in spirit…

- If you’re building, leading, creating, or serving and wondering why peace hasn’t followed your wins…
- If you sense God inviting you closer, not faster…

This episode is for you. Come sit with us.
