You’ve seen it — the cropped pictures, the hand-holding with no face, the emoji over the bae. 👀
This week, we’re talking all about hidden partners: why people do it, what it says about trust, privacy vs secrecy, and how we would handle it.
Would you post your partner or keep it lowkey? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 💬

It’s National Stress Awareness Day — and your faves are talking about more than just bubble baths and deep breaths. 😅
We’ve covered stress relief before, but this week we’re digging into prevention and elimination too. What’s the difference? How do you know which one you need? And how can you make stress management a natural part of your day — not just something you do when you’re already overwhelmed?
From coloring books to cutting out chaos, we’re unpacking it all. Tap in, take a breath, and let’s talk about protecting your peace 💆🏾♀️✨

It’s spooky season — but before we get into the ghosts and jump scares, let’s talk about something even scarier: not taking care of yourself. 💭
In honor of World Mental Health Day (October 10), we’re reminding you to pause, check in with yourself, and do whatever you need to protect your peace. Because when you don’t take care of yourself… things can get real scary, real fast.
Then, we lighten things up with some Halloween fun! 🎃
👀 Would YOU survive a horror movie based on your personality?
🙅🏽♀️ How would Black people really react in classic horror scenes? (Spoiler: we’re not splitting up!)
💀 “Scary but not really” moments — those times you panicked for no reason.
🍫 And finally, what would an adult trick-or-treat bag look like? (Because let’s be honest… it’s giving PTO, coffee, and bills.)
It’s equal parts self-care and scare care — a mix of laughs, real talk, and just enough spooky energy to get you through the week. 👏🏽

This week on Hey Fave the Podcast, we’re unpacking a trend that’s starting to feel a little too common — performative sympathy. 💭
When tragedy hits, are people really showing love… or chasing clout? 👀
We start with Darrin Henson’s post about Bryshere Gray, where instead of reaching out privately, he shared a “warning” to the industry online — sparking comments like, “You could’ve just checked on him in private.”
From there, we talk about the fine line between good intentions and bad execution when it comes to public condolences.
💐 Malcolm-Jamal Warner, India Arie, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Charmaine all caught some side-eye for their recent tribute posts — whether it was choice of words, old flirty photos, or just “doing too much.”
So we’re asking:
🕊️ When is it genuine love… and when does it turn into a photo-op for attention?
📸 Are “cringey condolences” just harmless, or do they cross a line — especially when someone’s grieving spouse or family is watching?
It’s a candid, slightly messy, but necessary conversation about how social media has changed the way we mourn — and the difference between being thoughtful and being seen.

This week on Hey Fave the Podcast, we’re asking the question: can we just have fun again? 😅
It feels like everywhere you look, someone’s trying to teach, preach, or give a think piece—and we’re wondering if we’ve hit information overload. Are we over-saturated with opinions, or have we just lost the art of enjoying things?
🎭 Then we get into the Druski incident—was it funny or crossing the line? Does it cross into Blackface territory, or are we looking too deep into a joke? From Tropic Thunder with Robert Downey Jr. to White Chicks with the Wayans Brothers, we revisit comedy moments that “hit different” today.
📱 And speaking of hitting different… we talk about viral culture, the need to “create a moment,” and whether people are thinking less and performing more. From the Raja incident to Ray J’s shenanigans, are people doing too much for attention, or are they just having fun like we used to?
It’s real talk, laughter, and a little bit of chaos — because we’re all trying to figure out where fun ends and offense begins.

We’re back from our fun-filled Vegas trip 🥂✨ and ready to catch up! But instead of diving into the chaos of the world, this week we’re keeping things light.
First up: If someone handed you $1 million to watch the same movie for 24 hours straight, could you do it—and what movie would you choose? 🎬💸
Then we dive into Hollywood talk:
Social media stories turned into movies – it’s official, Who TF Did I Marry is heading to the big screen. Are we here for it, or nah?
Biopics – with Cynthia Erivo cast as Chaka Khan in an upcoming Ava DuVernay-directed film, we’re asking: did they get it right? Who else deserves a biopic, and who should play them?
It’s a mix of laughs, debates, and a little casting couch fantasy as we talk Vegas vibes, viral stories, and legendary icons.

In today’s world, safety is a bigger conversation than ever. But when it comes to our children, how much protection is too much—and when is it just common sense?
In this episode of Hey Fave the Podcast, we’re asking the tough questions:
🥋 Should kids be taught self-defense at an early age?
🛡️ Does it build confidence and awareness—or risk encouraging violence?
💭 How do we balance keeping kids safe while letting them stay kids?
We share our personal takes, talk through real-life scenarios, and debate whether self-defense training is a necessity, an option, or simply “doing too much.”
Tune in as we explore what it really means to prepare the next generation for a world that isn’t always kind.

In this episode of Hey Fave the Podcast, we’re diving into the hit TV series Harlem and unpacking the messy, complicated, and real-life situations it brings to the screen.
💔 When is the right time to confess your love for someone who’s already moved on—and even engaged? Is it brave or selfish? Romantic or reckless?
💍 And then there’s the question of ethically non-monogamous relationships—does Harlem get it right, or does it blur the line between honesty and chaos?
We’re breaking down the love triangles, complicated choices, and cultural conversations that Harlem puts front and center, all while asking: what would YOU do in these situations?
Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and some tough questions we can’t wait to hear your answers to.

This week we’re diving into the big sacrifices—from wild relationship moves (like cutting all your hair off just to help your partner practice their new career) to what we would or wouldn’t do for love. Would you go that far for your S.O.? Or expect them to go all out for you?
Then we shift gears and get real about friendship breakups. Are they really worse than relationship breakups? We compare the two, share our experiences, and unpack why losing a friend can sometimes hit harder than losing a partner.

Is it helping or hurting us?
What jobs could disappear—and which ones could explode
What the future of AI could actually look like (and what we hope it doesn’t)
