While employers have traditionally favored early risers, research shows not embracing a wide range of sleep patterns severely disrupts health and job performance. Women everywhere have been advised that “early to bed, early to rise” is the key to success, but the creativity and productivity of the “evening person” makes a strong case for workplace flexibility. In a world of early-birds and night-owls, who really gets the worm? We’ll discuss.

Whether its the amplified voices of millions or the unapologetic voice of one, women struggle to be taken seriously when their anger is expressed. Considered funny, hysterical, or simply unworthy of validity or belief, women’s anger is ostracized while men’s is exalted. We’ll break down this communication double-standard and explore solutions for equality of self-expression. Includes a discussion about the marginalization of black women’s anger via early adultization of black girls.

Women carry the world on their shoulders, often in glamorous high heels and stylish one-shoulder handbags. Combining beauty and intellect, we make work-life balance look easy while our physical health pays a price. Like the smart kicks and stylish flats that have made their way into offices worldwide, the “lady backpack” is a statement against the old adage that beauty is pain. Based on an article from The Atlantic, we discuss the physical and metaphorical implications of women managing life’s heavy lifting and talk fashionable choices that lighten the load.

Whether it’s vocal fry, uptalk, or overall pitch, women report being judged by the sound of their voices and missing out on career advancements and opportunities for success as a result. Research shows that men are 3-4 times more likely to be viewed as having an authoritative voice. The hosts weigh in on the intonation-situation and offer advice on what we can do to hail all women’s voices as a vocal victory.

The relationships we have with our mothers set the foundation for who we will become. For those of us who weren’t mothered well, that foundation lacks solidity, affects our self-esteem, and makes it difficult to form meaningful relationships with other women. But with the right mindset, it’s possible to enjoy Mother’s Day, even if you weren’t mothered well. We’ll discuss how to get there, and why it’s important to include childless and/or single women in the celebration of Mother’s Day.

The majority of us know that in life, what goes around comes around.

Like it or not, their choices and actions can negatively impact us and put us in the line of fire. Here’s how to throw yourself a lifeline when you don’t have the opportunity to escape a sinking ship.

We’ve all faced circumstances that seem to be heading so clearly for failure that it seems implausible to believe things could get better.  In light of the recent assassination of hip-hop artist, rapper, and community activist Nipsey Hussle, the hosts delve into the subject of thriving in communities entrenched in poverty and violence. We talk about how it affects the ability to hope for a future, believe in the possibility of a better life, and what we can do to thrive in a world that seems impossible to survive.

“You can inadvertently pass up on a host of opportunities simply by underestimating people and the connections to which they can expose you.”

Expecting others to fall short of our expectations is a common mistake we all make. How many times have we assumed that because someone earns less money, has less education, or even speaks differently than we do, she isn’t a fit for our lives? And of course, by the time we realize she’s a perfect friend or mentor, the opportunity to grow from this relationship has long passed us by.

We'll talk about the impact presumptions can have on our journey toward self-discovery and explore what really happens to our sense of self when preconceived notions create missed opportunities.

Our busy lives are full of lists. Things to do, items we need, tasks to complete. And in this hectic world, no matter how long it takes, we’re determined to complete all the items.

On top of all this, most of us have a bucket list of items we hope to complete within our lifetime.

As women, we strive daily to reach our goals and be the absolute best we can be. But sometimes what’s possible to attain falls short of our ambition. The truth is it takes real courage to admit we’re not happy with the way things are.  And when we feel like we’re failing it’s so easy to give up on pursuing our dreams.

So while we’re busy trying to take our lives to the next level, what would happen if we decided simply to accept things as they are? What if we took a break from trying to break through and allowed ourselves to be okay with not being okay? In this episode, we’ll talk about the role vulnerability plays in our lives and learn how to make peace with a life that may still feel like it’s in pieces.

Topics include:

– What happens to us when we allow vulnerability into our lives and learn to make peace with things beyond our control? Includes commentary from author and research professor Dr. Brene Brown and spiritual teacher/author Iyanla Vanzant.

– How speaking your goals into the future can influence your destiny (6:30)

We’ll talk about ways to silence rumors and malicious talk, and what we can do now to create environments where women view one another as partners rather than a threat.

In late 2018, Baltimore, MD resident and good samaritan Jacqueline Smith was murdered as she made her way home one evening with her husband Keith and young daughter. Just as Smith was nearing her destination, she and Keith were approached by a man and woman holding a sign, asking for food for their baby.  

At the urging of his wife who desperately wanted to help the impoverished couple, Keith Smith rolled down the front car windows to offer assistance. That’s when the woman stabbed Jacqueline Smith to death and robbed her of her personal items. In a press conference asking for help in finding the murderer of his wife, Smith shared his grief as he urged people to be careful when approached by panhandlers on the street, saying, “The last thing I thought is that they would take my wife’s life.”

In a world where the war on kindness is ever present, how do women decide when it’s safe to extend generosity without compromising safety? We’ll layout safe-giving techniques, how to use your sixth sense to help identify danger, and how to be a warrior for kindness without putting yourself in harm’s way.

After 40-plus years of friendship, Oprah and Gayle King seem to have a definition of friendship that’s far and above what most people will ever experience. But many of us are craving a sisterhood that includes the same kind of devotion and understanding these two women have for one another. As women, are we forever relegated to relationships filtered through emotional baggage, lack of empathy, or the constant need to compete with other women--even those we call our friends? Let’s chat about what it really takes to boost our female friendships to Oprah-and-Gayle status. Includes a nod to Stedman Graham and what he’s doing to positively influence female relationships.

Today’s women are capable of achieving anything, yet our success is often still measured by how well we fit certain beauty standards. Regardless of our accomplishments, our physicality takes precedence over who we are as people.

Join us for a conversation about the importance of creating our own definitions of beauty, why we alone are the best experts on how to achieve our health and weight-loss goals, and how we are empowered when we treat fitness as a journey rather than a destination. Includes a chat about the lovely Tess Holliday, founder of Eff Your Beauty Standards and an excerpt from the book Finding Our She-Compass.

Social media users are doing whatever it takes to “go viral.” Whether it’s a daring stunt that ends in tragedy, the morning-noon-and-night posting of an influencer-wanna-be, or the keyboard warrior whose only desire is to troll positive messages, the craving for online followers drives some to extremes.

Are we sacrificing too much of who we are to gain attention on social media? Join us for a discussion on ways to use social media to our advantage without losing ourselves and our peace of mind.

The Black Tax is a burden that’s been laid on African-Americans for generations. In addition to its general definition of Blacks needing to work twice as hard as Whites to gain equal recognition, The Black Tax is also the unwritten obligation laid upon certain members of the African-American community: that any African-American person reaching a level of financial success surpassing that of the black majority is expected to use her newly-gained revenue, resources, and assets to support others in the community, even if that support costs her everything.

It’s an albatross that many African-Americans carry, and there are countless stories of the emotional and financial toll the Black Tax has taken on successful African-Americans.

Join us for a conversation about why it’s time to end The Black Tax, how black women and men can soar to success without compromise, and what people of all communities can gain from the undoing of the Black Tax. Includes commentary from Trevor Noah and Oprah Winfrey.

The Thanksgiving Day passing of Oprah Winfrey’s mother Vernita Lee is making many of us reflect on the experience of losing a loved one on our special day. When we lose a loved one on a birthday or holiday, the meaning of that day forever changes. It will come around every year, and while it may come with loving memories of those we love, it will bring with it also sadness, loss, and heartache.

Yet as far-fetched as it seems at the time of loss, those of us who have lost someone dear to us know that with time the grief gets easier to bear. The feelings of loss may never go away, but as we adjust to life without the physical presence of our loved one, we come to accept the new reality and learn to move forward with our lives as they are.

Join us for a discussion on what steps you can take now and in the future to survive the death of a loved one on a special day, the importance of forgiving and healing before our passing, and what we can do to make sure future holidays, birthdays, and special family occasions aren't marred by overwhelming grief.

Did Williams lose the match because she lost her cool? Or was the umpire's ruling a blatant display of sexism aimed at Williams? Join as we delve into this issue.
