We are deep into the second half of Season 5, and for Episode 8, we are bringing a truly special perspective to the mic.

This week, we are joined by a dear friend of the SMG network, all the way from Indianapolis, IN—the incredible Ms. Joi Renee. As a professional midwife, Joi spends her days bringing new life into the world, and today, she’s sitting down with us to discuss what that journey looks like and what life is truly all about.

Joi Renee takes on the qu3stions gauntlet, offering a beautiful mix of professional wisdom and personal humor. We’re diving into:

• The Midwife’s Journey: Joi shares the inspiring story of how she found her calling and what it’s really like to be on the front lines of birth and new beginnings.

• The Big Philosophy: We tackle the heavy hitters—Joi’s definition of love, her perspective on what life is truly about, and the six-word advice she would send back to her younger self.

• The "After-Hours" Essentials: From her go-to diner orders and favorite corner store snacks to the "after the club" fuel she swears by.

• The 33-Question Gauntlet: We find out Joi’s favorite chocolate, ice cream, her flirty emoji of choice, and the one skill she’s still looking to master.

• The Fun & The Weird: What does a midwife talk about when she’s talking to herself? Did we actually land on the moon? And the seasonal staple: What exactly is Humpty Dumpty?

From the miracle of life to the best movie that ever made her laugh, Joi Renee brings a grounded, soulful energy to this episode that you don't want to miss.
