LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!!!
Let's talk about Monique and DL Hughley, Todd Chrisley and his wife, Florida man who mistakes an alligator for a dog and more........
Is it true that nice guys finish last? Do you believe that good women get their hearts broken the most? Gator and I share our thoughts on this topic.
FEMALE MISOGYNY
Definition: Internalized sexism. A woman who subscribes to the belief that this is a man's world and women should know their place and stay in it.
If a woman ventures out of her place then it's a man's job to put them back in it. If there's no man around then she will step in to put women back in their place.
She also attributes hyper masculinity to being a "real man" and anything less is just not strong enough to "handle her".
This harmful belief system is more insidious and harder to recognize because it's coming from a person that you would least expect.
The victim becomes the perpetrator of the same kind of oppression that they have endured, adopting the "If you can’t beat em join em" mindset.
Whew!!! I know that was a lot but we're going to unpack this complex and multilayered topic in this episode of Dope Discussions Live.

It seems that nowadays being called insecure is a big trigger for people. We take it as a sign of weakness or low self confidence but let's look at the bigger picture here.
Being in a relationship with a person who crosses boundaries, neglects your needs and dismisses your concerns can create a feeling of being in an unsafe environment and isn't that the same thing as feeling insecure? (not secured, lacking security)
In this episode of Dope Discussions Live we're exploring the difference in recognizing a person who has their own internal insecurities and a person who is in a relationship that makes them feel insecure.
Heyyyyyyy it's time for another Spotlight Convo!!
We're really excited to have these two special guests in the spotlight to have a conversation about dating as a single parent.

Situationships, entanglements, friends with benefits, just kicking it, Netflix and chill, sneaky links......
Whatever we're calling it nowadays, let's talk about it. The majority of these situations seemingly start off as a "no strings attached" agreement but they rarely stay that way. Spending time and having sex with someone over an extended period of time is going to create some form of attachment no matter how secretive it is.
In this episode are two amazingly intuitive and introspective relationship and mental health coaches to have a one on one conversation about their personal and professional experience on the mindset behind the statement "I don't want a relationship, I just want it to feel like one"
They will be sharing with us what we should expect if we decide to get involved and what to look out for if we want to avoid this type of situation.

The addiction to likes, comments, views and shares has insidiously rooted itself into the fabric of our lives. If it's not you, then you definitely know someone who is affected.
But if everybody's doing it how could it possibly be bad right?
In the social media era it seems that while we consciously strive for connection we're becoming subconsciously more disconnected than ever before.
And what affect does this phenomenon have on our mental health?
Whether you agree or disagree with our opinions about the social media disconnect, we would love to hear your thoughts about this topic.
Listen to this episode and give us your feedback on social media addiction🎙🔥

Being a "strong black woman" isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Once you add this adjective to your name, it's very difficult to exchange it for a different one. There is now an internal and external expectation to keep it going.

KeKe is an award winning author, writing coach, lifestyle blogger and the host of The Kickin It With KeKe Podcast.

Having a strong and healthy friendship with your spouse is so important. It's astonishing how many people will commit to doing life with someone they don't enjoy being around.
I'm happy to say that my special guests Keaton and Tanika Kendrick thoroughly enjoy each other's company and they keep friendship at the center of their marriage while also being great parents and successful entrepreneurs. This ain't something I heard, this is something that I've seen and experienced.
I'm really looking forward to having this conversation with my little bro and sis because they are a positive example of young, healthy black love.
