We explore the damaging impact of hustle culture on Black men's mental health and why breaking the cycle of emotional suppression is critical for healing.

• Black boys learn early to hide emotions rather than express them
• Men are taught their value comes from strength, silence, and survival
• Generational trauma passes when fathers teach what they experienced
• Hustle culture has made burnout into a badge of honor
• For Black men, hustling often isn't about luxury but basic survival
• Working multiple jobs creates physical and emotional exhaustion
• Rest isn't weakness—it's a necessary form of resistance
• Mental health resources are stigmatized as "not for Black men"
• Depression gets called stress, anxiety becomes "overthinking"
• Lack of Black therapists creates barriers to culturally sensitive care
• Brotherhood and male friendships can provide informal therapy
• Safe spaces where vulnerability is respected are essential for healing
• Specialized resources like Therapy for Black Men are valuable lifelines
• You don't have to earn your right to rest and emotional wellbeing

Personal growth isn't always beautiful; it's often messy, lonely, and feels like grief as we shed who we thought we had to be to make room for who we actually are. Setting boundaries and letting go with peace are essential practices that protect our energy and allow us to embrace our authentic selves.

• The messy middle of growth involves shedding versions of ourselves built in survival mode
• Growth often feels like grief as we say goodbye to who we thought we had to be
• Boundaries aren't walls but doors that teach people how to enter our lives with respect
• Expect pushback when setting boundaries with people who benefited from you not having any
• You don't need closure to heal – you need self-trust
• Letting go doesn't mean there was never love; it means choosing peace over performance
• A 30-day self-trust challenge can help strengthen your boundary-setting abilities

Ever wonder what happens when a recovering people-pleaser finds her voice and decides to start a podcast? Welcome to "Let's Talk About It," your new favorite corner of the internet where we drop the filters and dive into the conversations we all need but rarely have.

From the moment I started doing hair at age seven to becoming a serial entrepreneur, fitness coach, and now podcast host, my journey has been shaped by learning to put myself first after years of seeking validation from others. A medical condition in my hands forced me to pivot from my cosmetology career and embrace a wellness journey that taught me the profound truth that "the gym starts at home" and "the main muscle to build is your mind."

This podcast was born from my desire to create the space I desperately needed when trying to find my authentic voice. Each week, we'll unpack everything from culture shocks to dating hot takes, mental health struggles to identity crises, and all the spicy topics your group chat whispers about. Nothing is off-limits – whether we're discussing ADHD challenges, confidence-building practices, relationship dynamics, or cultural taboos that deserve the spotlight.

If you've ever felt too much, not enough, or caught between different expectations, this is your sanctuary. We're serving real talk alongside virtual tacos and tequila, creating a community where healing, humor, and honesty coexist. New episodes drop every Tuesday (CST), so hit subscribe, leave a review, and join me on this journey of self-discovery and unfiltered conversation. Tag me @letstalkaboutitpod on Instagram and let me know what topics you're dying to talk about!

Dating standards aren't being "too picky" – they're essential boundaries that protect our energy and ensure we don't settle for less than we deserve.

• Lowering standards throws off your frequency and alignment
• Basic respect earns loyalty, transparency builds trust, and consistency shows genuineness
• If someone's offended by your standards, it's likely because they don't meet them
• Charm often blinds us to bright red flags we should be noticing
• Love bombing and wanting relationship privileges without labels are major warning signs
• When someone says their "ex was crazy," ask what they did to activate that reaction
• Toxic traits aren't always loud and dramatic – sometimes it's quietly accepting being undervalued
• Stop staying in situations because you're scared of starting over
• Dating should be about conversations and getting to know someone, not expensive outings
• You don't have to settle, shrink or suffer for love – just get clear on what you'll accept

Send me your most savage red flag story or your biggest hot take about dating! I might feature it in the next episode. Don't forget to leave a spicy review and share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it.

Spill the tea and pass the salsa—we’re giving you a sneak peek at the spicy episodes coming your way! From healing out loud to culture clashes, dating disasters, and deep dives with dope guests, here’s what you can expect from Season 1 of Let’s Taco ’Bout It.

Ever wondered if that wellness trend flooding your feed actually works? We're pulling back the curtain on what's legitimate and what's just hype in today's oversaturated wellness space.

Our conversation starts by examining how social media transforms simple health practices into potentially harmful trends. When papaya benefits go viral on TikTok without proper context, are people truly seeking wellness or just following the crowd? We share candid thoughts about the difference between researched health choices versus blindly following what's trending.

The discussion takes an unexpectedly honest turn as we explore those infamous gas station enhancement products. With refreshing candor, we reveal our personal experiences (headaches included!) and why natural approaches typically yield better results than chemical shortcuts. You'll appreciate our straightforward talk about everything from Viagra alternatives to the legitimate science behind testosterone production.

Perhaps most surprisingly, we discover the ultimate pre-workout might not come in powder form at all. Morning intimacy emerges as a powerful natural energizer that commercial products simply can't match. Meanwhile, our natural protein shake recipe (oatmeal, banana, peanut butter, and milk) offers a simple alternative to mysterious ingredient-laden supplements.

This episode perfectly balances humor with practical wisdom, delivering genuine health insights without the pretense. Whether you're navigating wellness trends or simply seeking authentic ways to feel your best, you'll find our conversation both entertaining and useful.
