Episode 20: Would You Marry Me? (Lady Fay Wants To Know!)
Alright, guys! You are used to us giving you advice, this time we want to hear from you!
We are asking would you marry the one and only Lady Fay?
Danielle is very single. She's had her flings here and there, but nothing serious. Guys will tell her she's great, beautiful, sexy, smart, different, chill, and easy to get along with, but it seems like no one is trying to commit.
She's the common factor so she's convinced it must be her! Can you help Lady Fay navigate her way into a solid relationship?
Episode 19: Dealing with Mommy Guilt

In this episode, Mel dives deep about the struggles she faces as a mom. There are times where she feels like she's not doing enough for her children even though she's doing her best.
If you ever have been here before, this episode is for you!
Episode 18: Is Social Media Giving You Anxiety?
We can't help but wonder what contribution social media has had on our nation's anxiety problems. From constant comparisons to political divides, how much influence does social media play into our lives?
As we have learned from trying to promote ourselves, social media can get draining very fast. Some people's self-worth gets too wrapped up with how many likes you have and the number of followers you can rack up. Are we just overcomplicating our lives?
Episode 17: Meeting the Family Part 2 -Meeting Your Partner’s Family
So last week we talked about bringing your partner home, but what if you're going to meet their parents for the first time this holiday season? Are you nervous or excited? Do you think your partner’s family will embrace you with open arms?
Mel has always enjoyed meeting new people, so she had no problems meeting her husband’s family. Danielle has never gotten serious enough with a person to meet their family, but she has no doubt that his family would like her.
Back again to give their views on the topic are Frances and Chunky from The Jerk, Jollof and Collard Greens® Podcast.
Episode 16: Meeting the Family Part 1 -Bringing Your Partner Home
Hey guys! It's the holiday season, and most of us will be gathering with our family for festive celebrations. Our question is...are you bringing your new boo home to meet the family? Is this a new huge step in your relationship?
Danielle has never brought anyone home to meet her family. For Mel, her partner meeting her family wasn't that big of a deal for her.
To help us discuss this topic, we brought in Frances and Chunky from The Jerk, Jollof, and Collard Greens® Podcast.
Episode 15: You Say He’s Just A Friend…
Is it okay to be a female with a group of guy friends? Growing up as tomboys, Mel, Danielle, and our friend Melissa always had male friends.
As we have gotten older, having those male friends has affected our dating relationships Danielle was told it was a red flag for a female to have too many male friends and Melissa has had her challenges. Is it possible to have a romantic relationship while still maintaining your male friendships?
Episode 14: The Struggle with Online Dating
Today we are talking all about online dating. There are so many hook-up and meeting apps it’s not even funny. It makes it convent to find a person by just swiping left or right.
Danielle has dipped her toe in the online dating world a few times, but it annoys her more than anything. She just rather stay single than keep trying to find a partner online.
Since Mel has never tried dating online, we brought her friend Sanchelle on to give us the tea on what apps she’s had the most success on.
Episode 13: Cutting People Off
Are there times in your life where no matter what you do it seems like a relationship isn’t working out? You’re struggling to make it work with a partner, a friend, or a family member. It just seems like no matter what, there is a lack of understanding or a lack of respect. So, when is enough, enough? Is it time to cut that person off or are you just going through a rough patch?
If you have ever struggled with ending toxic relationships, this episode is defiantly for you. We are going to be walking you through how we’ve learned our limits in relationships and how we apply them in our lives now.
Episode 12: True Intimacy with yourself & Your Partner
This week we are talking all about intimacy. What exactly is intimacy supposed to look and feel like? Is it just about sex or does it involve so much more? If you are anything like us, the idea of being intimate is kind of scary to you, especially if you don’t have the right examples.
To help us with this discussion, we have Sage the Godsis on to go into depth about how we can become more intimate with ourselves and our partners.

This is the last episode of season one! Today we are talking about our personal sexual experiences. We decided to have this open dialog because we both realize we have some healing to do in this department. Sometimes we make decisions based on unhealthy views we have about ourselves.
Mel talks about the difference between being desperate for affection versus having a real connection with a partner. Danielle discusses how her childhood trauma affect her views on sex.
Episode 9: Growing Up in the Church
Today we are talking about what it was like for us growing up in the church. Danielle’s a preacher’s kid, so her life revolved around the church. Mel grew up going to a megachurch.
Sometimes it felt like church was more about appearances over an actual relationship with God. We believe there is a difference between being religious and being spiritual.
Episode 8: Your Accessibility & Boundary Setting
How much access should we let people have to us? We often over-extend ourselves at work, at home, and in our relationships. We can find it hard to say no, especially to our loved ones. There is often a lot of pressure for us to show up and be present for others when we are barely showing up for ourselves.
We think it is always healthy to evaluate just how much of your time and energy you give to other people.
Episode 7: Being Friends with an Ex
Oh boy, get ready! In this episode we are discussing if it is possible to be friends with an ex? There are some very strong opinions about this subject. So strong, we invited our close friend Evie on the show to have a really deep conversation about this topic.
We explore reasons some people decided to stay friends with an ex and if it’s even a good idea. No matter what your view point is on the case of the ex, we’re here to offer you new perspectives.
Episode 6: Staying Positive with Body Insecurities
