Today’s episode is one that feels like one of those conversations where you ask a friend for advice… or end up talking to a random girl who somehow tells you exactly what you needed to hear. I’m answering your questions honestly. We’re talking life, dating, feelings, decisions, and those moments where you’re like, “Is it just me?”

If you’re in your 20s or early 30s and navigating life, make sure to listen here!

In this episode I’m solo! I talk about going after what you want in every area of life: love, career, friendships, opportunities, and even the dreams that scare you a little. So if you need a little reminder here it. Bet on yourself and take the shot. Also make sire to tune in to find out about the time I shot my shot. Especially as the year comes to a close, this is the time to lay it all on the table!

On this week’s episode we had not one but two guests on the pod! Gabby and Maddy joined us! We got into the nitty-gritty of everything dating from green flags to red flags, the best dating experiences to the dates straight out from hell. But as Black girls, we know dating always comes with a different lens… and in another country, it’s a whole different ballgame.

We also talked about European beauty standards, and dating in the US vs. dating in Europe; the good, the bad, and the awkward. On top of that, we unpacked what it’s like dating different cultures, how people treat you abroad, and the little things that can make dating more exciting when you’re a world away from home.

In this episode, I catch up with my friend Kelly, who has a big life change coming up that she lets us in on.

From big life changes to spontaneous travel decisions, we cover everything from wild adventures to red flags you don’t want to ignore, especially when it comes to traveling with other people. Kelly’s been to 33 countries and counting, so if you want more travel tips, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

We talk about what it means to truly go with the flow, dating journeys, and things learned along the way from visiting 30+ countries. If you’ve got the travel bug (or just love a good story), this one’s for you.

Our next guest on the podcast is my wonderful friend Rebekah! In this episode, we dive into the expectations we had growing up about where we’d be by now and how life surprised us. We take ourselves back to a younger us and reflect on the journey we’ve been on, wondering what those younger versions of us would think about who we are today.

We also explore the pressures society puts on us in our 20s, balancing living now to the fullest while building a strong foundation for the future.

And, we challenge ourselves to think about the dreams and goals we still want to chase at this stage in life, reminding ourselves that it is literally never too late.

Join us as we have a heartfelt conversation with our inner kids and uncover new perspectives on growing up.

In our very first episode, Julianna and I dive into everything we thought our 20s would look like and how things have actually turned out so far. Spoiler alert: life had other plans. We open up about where we are now, how everyone moves at their own pace, and how it's totally normal to feel like you're figuring things out while others seem miles ahead.

Some people are settling down, starting families… and others are just starting to discover who they are. We talk about navigating love for the first time, what Julianna learned after her first heartbreak, and yes—we’re absolutely manifesting our dream men. Tune in to hear what our "ideal guy" looks like, and all the fun, honest girl talk in between.

This is just the beginning—don’t miss it!
