The countdown to publishing my next book, Salt & Pepper, is on, and it has me feeling edgy. But not necessarily for the reasons you may think.
Coming off of a one-week hiatus, we have a jam-packed show. A quick update, leftover Q&A, and a conversation about vulnerability and the duality it creates within men are just a click away. Tap in!
In the season/podcast finale, we wrap up the wants & needs discussion by explaining the genuine reality that single people are getting in their own way. Oh yeah, and social media, as usual, is still the devil.
Is it possible that some of our wants/preferences are blocking us from meeting who we are meant to be with? In this episode, we look at two lists, needs and wants, for a healthy relationship. Liking what we like is understandable, but to what end? What wants do we actually need?
In a follow-up to a question brought to us last episode, we look at the difference between when a guy knows he has encountered a woman to get serious over and when he's ready to actually make it official. The present day ain't making anything easier on that front.
Every woman thinks they want a good guy, until a good guy falls in their lap...then what? On this episode I chat it up with Ant, host of the Off the Wall podcast, to discuss what exactly is a good guy, how they are perceived by women, the single life, and more.
People exist in varying levels of sexual experience and expression. When it comes to incompatibility, we more normally hear about experienced men and inexperienced women, but rarely do we hear about the reverse...until now. Erotic storyteller Seira Revol joins me on this episode to discuss.
Licensed marriage and family wellness therapist, Nicole M. Ward, contributed to an article on therapyforblackgirls.com entitled "5 Tips for Navigating the First Date." On today's episode, we break down these tips from the male perspective to check they're validity.
What do Derrick Jaxn, Kevin Samuels, and Steve Harvey have in common? They all owe at least some of their fame to talking to/or at women. But are they right, is the questions? Does a man's entanglements, delivery, and past ruin what he says?
Confidence, what is it and why is it important? Hell is it important? Let's take a look at this and the role it plays in the happily ever after, but more importantly the role it plays in getting to that point. #confidence | Music - #AnxiousAF by Mia Ariannaa
Ladies, speak your truth! In the season finale of the show, I talk to three different women to get their perspectives on what men are doing wrong and need to do better to improve issues in dating and relationships.
Music: "Bare Wit Me" - Teyana Taylor x "Outta Time" - Bryson TIller f/Drake
Unless you have been under a rock, you have heard Cardi x Meg's "W.A.P" by now. If you even loosely find yourself on social media, you have seen the faux-outrage over the song. So let's talk about it.

Music: "W.A.P." - Cardi B x Meg Thee Stallion | "Drugs" - Lil Kim
Ladies & gentlemen, this is a PSA: boundaries are a necessary evil in all relationships. On this episode of UB, I'm throwing words around with my girl Nikki about the importance and benefits of boundary setting. Why it's important? Why you should do it? And why anything bad that happens when you don't...IS YOUR FAULT!

This question is the perfect storm between reality, perception, and assumption. With so much access to excess, especially with the increased number of women that go under the knife to alter their physical makeups, the question remains...do men still like and appreciate natural body types.
