Most female rappers lean into the same narratives—but Audy Audemar is doing something different.

In this episode, Audy brings a fearless, raw energy as she shares how she’s building her career through authenticity—from her East Coast roots to the release of her debut EP, Audemar. Her journey is a reminder that you don’t have to conform to be successful—you just have to stay true to your craft.

We get into her rise from viral freestyles that caught the attention of artists like Foxy Brown and Tierra Whack, to carving out her own lane in an industry that often lacks depth in storytelling for Black women.

Audy opens up about:

• trusting the process
• navigating rejection and setbacks
• embracing growth and imperfections
• and staying grounded while chasing something bigger

This conversation is for anyone learning to move at their own pace, trust their journey, and honor who they are becoming.

Tap in and experience a voice that’s not just here to be heard—but felt.

Life is changing… and this time, my kids feel it too.

In this episode, I’m taking y’all into a real moment I had with my daughters ; one that caught me completely off guard. We were fine… and then suddenly, we weren’t. Tears, hard truths, and the realization that this wasn’t the plan.

My children are grieving the idea of a family that’s not coming back… and at the same time, I’m grieving too.

The hardest part?
I’m trying to guide them through emotions I’ve never personally experienced.

This version of motherhood… my mom never had to go through it.
So I’m learning in real time — how to hold space for them, while still figuring out how to hold myself.

We talk about:

• What it feels like when your kids start to understand the shift
• Carrying your pain and theirs at the same time
• Learning your children’s different emotional languages
• Being the safe space… even when you’re hurting too
• And how I’m redefining motherhood in a season that feels like a beautiful disaster

This episode isn’t polished.It’s honest.It’s heavy.

But it’s also full of love.

Because even in the breaking… we’re still building something real.If you’ve ever felt like you had to be strong for everybody while quietly falling apart… this one is for you.

Sometimes it’s not love that’s exhausting… it’s the expectations we attach to it.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on relationships, heartbreak, and what it really takes to heal and move forward. I open up about how expectations—both spoken and unspoken—can quietly drain us, especially when we’re holding onto what we thought something should be.

We’re talking about:

• How expectations shape (and sometimes damage) our relationships

• The emotional weight of heartbreak and unmet expectations

• Learning to trust yourself again after things don’t work out

• Letting go of control and unrealistic ideals

• What it looks like to heal, reset, and move differently

Because the truth is…
when you learn to manage your expectations, you protect your peace.

This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop forcing, stop overextending, and start choosing herself—fully and unapologetically.

Most of us have heard the phrase “chase your dreams.”
But somewhere along the way — especially in hustle culture — we started taking that literally.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to chase… and how that mindset can quietly turn into exhaustion, comparison, and constantly feeling like you’re behind.

As women, we’ve been conditioned to chase — approval, partnership, perfection, beauty standards, validation. And sometimes we’re moving so fast toward the next thing that we don’t even enjoy what we once prayed for.

I open up about moments in my own life where I realized I wasn’t building — I was chasing. Chasing the idea of family. Chasing timelines. Chasing the picture instead of doing the inner work. And how slowing down changed everything.

We also talk about hustle culture, self-esteem, body image, relationships, and why being alone isn’t a punishment — it can actually be clarity.

In honor of Women’s History Month, I reflect on the legacy of Shirley Chisholm and what it means to be “unbought and unbossed” in a world that constantly pressures women to perform.

This isn’t a step-by-step guide.
It’s a safe space to reflect.

If you’ve been feeling tired, anxious, or like you’re always reaching for the next thing… this conversation is for you.

Maybe the goal isn’t to chase.
Maybe the goal is to become.

Most artists face pressure to compromise their authenticity — but Jai Jemini refuses to follow the crowd. She’s proving that true success comes from staying real.

In this candid conversation, Jai opens up about how her faith, unlearning, and unwavering self-trust fuel her journey as an artist breaking barriers on her own terms.

From growing up in church to navigating her evolving relationship with faith, Jai shares the raw emotions behind her breakthrough single “Blessings” and how her lived experiences shape both her music and her message. We explore how she balances faith and ambition, unlearns harmful stereotypes, and refuses to be boxed in by industry expectations.

We also unpack the unique pressures women — especially Black women — face in the music industry: the expectations to conform, to oversexualize, to shrink. Jai speaks on remaining authentic in spaces that try to define you, and why her independence is her greatest strength.

She gives us insight into her upcoming mixtape “Love Letters and Dish Tracks,” a powerful narrative of love, heartbreak, healing, and growth — crafted to uplift women navigating their own journeys.

This episode reminds us that authenticity isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the foundation of lasting success and fulfillment. Trusting the process. Unlearning limiting beliefs. Embracing every season — even the uncomfortable ones.

If you’re ready to stop begging for validation and start becoming who you truly are, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Too Authentic, Ashley reflects on growth, boundaries, and the freedom that comes with saying no—without guilt. Through real-life moments, motherhood lessons, and honest self-reflection, she explores how alignment matters more than obligation, why you don’t have to accept what you tolerated last year, and how being misunderstood is sometimes part of the journey. This is a reminder that peace is a choice, no is a full sentence, and you’re allowed to honor what feels right for you.

In this final episode of the year, Ashley Monique takes her victory lap — not from a place of perfection, but from a place of persistence. Victory Lap is a raw, honest year-end reflection on growth, healing, motherhood, grief, joy, and learning how to truly show up for yourself.

Ashley reflects on a year that required her to stretch — emotionally, spiritually, and personally. From navigating motherhood and managing her emotions as a single mom, to finding joy in the small moments, rediscovering herself outside of survival mode, and stepping outside of her comfort zone professionally and creatively.

This episode holds space for both gratitude and grief — honoring the losses, the lessons, and the love that shaped the year. Ashley speaks candidly about learning to celebrate herself, writing love letters to who she’s becoming, and finding balance without guilt. It’s about recognizing how far you’ve come, even if you’re still on the journey.

Victory Lap is a reminder that growth doesn’t always look loud — sometimes it looks like consistency, courage, and choosing yourself again and again. This episode invites listeners to pause, reflect, and give themselves credit for surviving, healing, and evolving through it all.

Because sometimes the win isn’t the destination — it’s realizing you kept going. 🖤

In this episode of Too Authentic Podcast, Ashley Monique dives into the theme of Purpose in the Pause;the beauty of slowing down, sitting still, and allowing clarity to rise in the quiet moments.
