  • What do men really want in relationships? It’s not always what you think. In this episode, we uncover the surprising truths about what men desire from their partners. Beyond physical attraction or sexual chemistry, men value clarity, partnership, and emotional connection. In this eye-opening episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the unspoken truths - straight from 3 horses' mouths - the owners of Fly Supply Clothing about what men desire in a partner. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about looks or sexual chemistry.

    Men want more than just surface-level connections—they crave clarity, partnership, and feeling genuinely wanted, too. And, if he’s not providing clarity, he might not see you as the one, and that’s a truth we all need to hear. This episode dives deep into how men value partners who share their journey as co-pilots, not just passengers.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTABLES:

    If a man avoids providing clarity about your relationship, it’s a sign he may not truly want to invest in you.

    Feeling desired and appreciated is just as important to men as it is to women.

    Men seek a partner who actively contributes to the relationship and life goals—a co-pilot, not just someone along for the ride.

    Relationships thrive when both partners prioritize mutual respect, support, and shared growth.

  • Personal accountability is a game-changer, but it requires one thing many of us avoid: telling ourselves the truth. Personal accountability and radical self-honesty are conjoined twins and even when your best isn’t good enough, sitting in that uncomfortable truth leads to growth.

    In this raw and honest conversation, we explore what it means to face reality, even when it’s painful. Acknowledging when your best isn’t meeting the standards you’ve set is tough, but it’s also the foundation for true growth. This episode offers powerful insights on how to navigate the gap between where you are and where you want to be—without falling into self-criticism or shame.

    🛠️ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    Why personal accountability starts with radical self-honesty.

    How to acknowledge your limitations while maintaining grace for yourself.

    When you accept the truth of your circumstances, you give yourself the freedom to evolve. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress, even when your best feels like it’s barely enough.

    This episode will empower you to take responsibility for your life, reclaim your confidence, and embrace the transformative power of personal accountability.

    Tune in now and discover how to fix yourself—not by being perfect, but by being real.

  • It's estimated that ADHD affects more than 8 million adults (or up to 5% of Americans) and 6.1% of children. Unfortunately, many people don't even know they have it. For decades, people with ADHD have been ignored, dismissed and even derided. As one of the most misunderstood diagnoses, it's easy for ADHD to be treated like a joke or a superpower, even though it's neither. NYT best selling author of "How to ADHD", Jessica McCabe, dives deep into everything from how the brain of a person with ADHD works to how their loved ones can better understand and support them. Jessica opens up about what it was like to be the one with “potential” who could never quite bring it to fruition. Tap into this week’s episode if you have ADHD or love someone with it for some great tips on how to navigate it successfully.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    ADHD is not a joke or a superpower.

    Make space for hyperfocus but install guardrails in your mind to stay on track.

    Studies have shown that ADHD may be polygenetic.

    Pills don’t teach skills. Simply medicating your child is not enough.

    Instead of telling someone to “calm down”, try telling them to “slow down.”

    Try to work with your unique brain rather than fight against it.

  • Former Wall Street analyst and founder of Empify, Ashley M. Fox, describes how simply putting yourself in certain spaces can create the opportunity to expand your life. You must create an abundant mindset in order to attract abundance. We attract who we are and not what we want; therefore, training your mind to believe you are worthy of things is essential to accomplishing your goals. Ashley dives into the alignment of priorities in order to create generational wealth and invest in your future. Those that are wealthy subscribe to the mentality that they are deserving of wealth. You must feel like you are worthy of the lifestyle that you desire to bring it to fruition.

With the rise of social media and its impact on who, where and how we date, it’s easy to get caught up in how love should look rather than what it actually is.

Daniels, to help give us a compass and much needed direction on the journey to finding true love and keeping it.

    - Who do you want to be? How do you want to show up?

    QUOTABLES:

    “Victims sometimes forget when they were the villain.”

    “Understand to every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Whether you're being a villain or not a villain, you're being a safe place or an unsafe place, it goes back to the decisions that you make about how do you want to feel? And then how do you want others to feel when you walk out of a room?”

  • Skirts below the knee. No jewelry, accessories, or makeup. Stockings in bed and no relaxing your hair. Does this sound familiar?

    For those raised in the church like Alechi, Dani, and their guest - religious trauma healer Pamela Merritt, this conversation is for you. Tune in as Pamela discusses church hurt versus trauma, how the Black community embodies religion, and the often confusing emotions around sex and religion. And be sure to lean in for her advice for reimagining your faith and reconnecting to the divine outside the church.

    KEY POINTS:

    Why is church membership dramatically dropping? Is the rise in community violence correlated with the lack of connection to spirituality? Do we need the church to teach us accountability and structure? The positive benefits of the church What trauma looks like and how it’s perpetuated from the pulpit How to nourish your relationship with the divine outside of the church

    QUOTABLES:

    “For black church kids, we embody the music. We embody the feel of church. We embody the culture. We embody the community that Black church gives us. So when people come to me for religious trauma, consultations, and they are transitioning, what I'm helping them with is understanding that their religious space does not determine the structure that they have to their life.” - Pamela Merritt

    “Once you understand who you are and what your needs are and what your beliefs are, you can reimagine your connection with the divine in a different way.” - Pamela Merritt

  • Distortion patterns keep us feeling stuck and helpless. They prevent us from accessing frequencies that allow us to feel more connected to source, a higher power, God, whatever you call “the Divine.” Grab your scuba gear and put on your wetsuit for this episode because we’re going deep into the realm of frequencies. If you’ve been on this healing journey with us for some time, then you’ll quickly recognize that this is THE episode if you're ready for the next level of your healing evolution. We have all heard talk of energy, vibration and frequencies but do we really understand how they actually function and affect us? Karen Cheong showed us how to unpack the ways in which we can raise our vibration to access higher frequencies so we can manifest the lives we want. Tap into this episode if you have been craving to go deeper but didn’t want to go alone. We’ve got you covered!

    You will not be ok doing things that do not fulfill you.

    We are all light vibrating at different rates.

    Your rate of vibration is what dictates what things appear as.

    The beginning point of awakening is to recognize, to realize, to feel that you are greater than your physical self; that you are infinite, indestructible consciousness having an embodied experience.

    Lower level stuff can not exist at higher vibrational frequencies.

    “For me, I feel like the first step in the healing process is to acknowledge what you learn from them. Because in every single experience, whether it was positive or negative, there's always something you learned.”

    “There's a difference between speaking your truth and talking to your experience, and bashing and dragging someone's name. And oftentimes, we've completely lost the right to even speak about this person because we have no idea who that person is anymore. Just because that's what they did and that's who they were five years ago, or two years ago, does not mean that's who they are now.”

  • Way too many of us struggle with accountability. It’s something about telling ourselves the truth and being disciplined that makes us run. We get it! But, how often do we say we want these magical lives filled with love, money and success but aren't willing to do what it takes to get it, much less maintain it?

    According to Investopedia, accountability is defined as the practice of being held to a certain standard of excellence. Join us this week as we talk about what it means to be accountable and why it's the key to unlocking the next level. Alechia shares a new realization as she holds herself accountable during a new phase of her journey. If you're having a hard time waking up a little earlier, putting that cookie down or just keeping promises to yourself (and to others) then this episode is for you. Tap in for some applicable af tips to start holding yourself accountable so you can continue to evolve into the best version of yourself.

  • Being a mother has got to be the world's most thankless and difficult job. With its share of incredible highs and painstaking lows, motherhood is not to be taken lightly. While we believe in honoring mothers for all the love they give and the sacrifices they make, we also believe in telling the truth about the "mommy issues" so many of us have to talk through in therapy.

    As adults, healing from the betrayal and overcoming the trauma is no easy feat. Especially when that betrayal and trauma came at the hands of your mother. We are joined by health and wellness consultant, author and entrepreneur, Carlos Campbell, who gives us a candid and vulnerable glimpse into his own relationship dynamic with his mother and how it has affected his life, decisions and how he shows up in relationships. This conversation is for those of us on the journey to healing the mother wound as we learn to reparent our inner child. Tap all the way in to hear Carlos' incredible story and why mothers deserve honor and accountability.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

    As a woman, learning to listen to understand instead of listening to respond to a man who is being vulnerable is an invaluable skill. Men are far more intuitive than they get credit for. Young boys should be encouraged to read more often. Some single mothers make their sons feel like their boyfriends, robbing them of a childhood. Many men feel a lot of shame and it can affect the way they view and treat women.
