S3 EP 10 - Flag on the Play 🚩
We are back in action! Our topic today was inspired by the “Ressa Tessa” saga, WHO TF DID I MARRY!
As we reflect on her story, we purposed the question — Have you ever ignored red flags in a relationship? What made you turn a blind eye to them? Was it because of manipulation, fear of being alone, or the sake to say you gotta man.
We turned the mirror to ourselves, and spoke on our own experiences and how we were able to overcome it.
What are things you’ve ignored to stay in a relationship?
S3 EP 9: Didn't You Say You Weren’t Going To Do That?
We are back with another great episode!
Today’s topic is about things we stated we would never do as parents before having kids versus things we do now.
Before having kids, most people have their own opinions on what they would do as parents, but went you have them some of those things can go right out the window!
Some examples are co sleeping, the use of tablets and phones, giving melatonin, and also gentle parenting vs spanking.
We all gave out 2 cents on why we chose to do things differently. Realizing parenting does not come with a handbook, and all kids are not the same can change your game plan on how you thought things would go!
What are some things you have done you said you wouldn’t do as a parent, but allow now?
*Bonus Clip* A Valentine’s Day word from Vikkie

Next, coming straight off the press a topic that has every one buzzing is, Megan Thee Stallions, new song “HISS”. The song takes shots at a couple big names in the industry, but it’s seems Nicki Minaj is the most triggered out of all the names that was mentioned! Since the song’s debut, she has been ranting on multiple social media platforms and has dropped a response record of her own.
