“You only got where you are because you’re pretty.” Ever heard that one before? As a woman in business, it feels like no matter how hard you work, there’s always someone ready to dismiss your success, as if brains and beauty can’t coexist. You get judged, sexualized, underestimated—told you don’t know what you’re talking about because, clearly, you couldn’t have earned it. In this episode, Adrianna and a therapist tear down those tired assumptions. Adriana opens up about the reality of being a woman in business, the constant need to prove yourself, and the battles fought just to be taken seriously. We’re talking about the financial grit it takes to build something real, why “get-rich-quick” is a myth, and the game women have to play to protect themselves in a world that would rather see them as decoration than competition. For every woman who’s had her intelligence questioned, her success reduced to her looks, or been told to “just be likable,” this conversation is a reminder that you belong at the table. Join us as we dig into what it truly means to be a woman entrepreneur who’s here to break stereotypes, own her value, and redefine success on her own terms.

Ever felt like you’re breaking some unspoken rule by choosing divorce—even though staying feels like losing yourself? As a Pastoral Chaplain, Amanda Williams understands the guilt, shame, and judgment that can come from a faith community that sees divorce as failure. But she’s here to talk about why that doesn’t have to be your story.

In this real, raw conversation, a therapist and Amanda explore her own journey through divorce, the hidden struggles of being married in the military, and the harsh expectations to stay together “for the family” or “for the faith.” She gets honest about the pressure to choose a life partner because it’s “the right thing” to do, only to realize later that it might have been all wrong. Together, Amanda and Joselyn unpack the impact of religious beliefs on relationships, the power of boundaries, and why being “equally yoked” means so much more than just sharing a faith.

For those who feel trapped between faith and freedom, Amanda’s story is a powerful reminder that your healing matters. This isn’t about abandoning your beliefs; it’s about finding the courage to rewrite what love, honor, and commitment look like—on your own terms. Join the conversation to discover that even through the pain of divorce, you’re not alone, and there’s a path forward that’s just as faithful as it is freeing.

You’re a strong, independent woman—you’ve got it together, and you didn’t need a father to get here…or at least, that’s what you keep telling yourself. But what if the absence of a father has left scars you didn’t know were there? For so many women, brushing off the pain of an absent dad feels like strength. Join Monay and a therapist as they explore what may be under that “strong” exterior… self-worth questions, trust issues, and intimacy struggles you’ve buried for too long.

For anyone who’s been labeled “too tough” or who’s told herself she’s fine without him, this conversation dives into the deeper struggles that come from burying the hurt. It’s time to look at how those experiences might be setting you up for toxic cycles, self-sabotage, and pushing love away. This is a chance to look deeper at the patterns that might be holding you back, the toxic cycles that started way before your first heartbreak, and the need for closure that no one talks about.

Sometimes, being “strong” is about allowing yourself to feel what you’ve been holding back and embracing the journey to growth without shame. Join Monay’s journey as we talk about what it really means to heal, to stop pretending, and to finally let yourself be open to the love and growth you deserve. Because sometimes, real strength comes from facing the pain you thought you’d left behind.
