Nerding out in the Parking Lot

Nerding out in the Parking Lot

This was a fun episode that I think was necessary considering the country is literally falling apart at the seams. I am excited to have one of my podcast sisters and environmental thug Rasheeda Green from The Crossroads Podcast. The Crossroads podcast focuses on environmental justice in the US and countries of the diaspora, changing the image of an environmentalist one episode at a time and you can find it by clicking here.
We named this episode the "Parking Lot" because we took a break from the crazy to nerd out on the things we love. In this episode, we talk about matchmakers, dropping acid, Altered Carbon, and what type of zombies we'd rather chase us. Tune in and let us know what you think. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share. You can find all things confessions at www.confessionsfromaredcouch.com, on Facebook and Instagram @confessionsfromaredcouch and twitter @CFARedCouch.

So much fun was had between Chris and I. We discussed Dating tips (4:45) where we talk about when it's appropriate to talk about your dating past with your new partner. Social Media Randomness (13:22) talked about Diddy's Town Hall meeting on COVID-19 and how it affecting the black community. We also dig into the new season of Insecure (SPOILER ALERT!!!). Then we dig into the meat of the matter in Confession Time as we talk about how our past break ups were like mirrors that showed us our flaws.
