This week we're having a heart-to-heart chat with doula, Brandi Jordan, and her partner, Michael. We explore how to be the best partner for your partner, supporting them through pregnancy, and we even debunk some common misconceptions about childbirth. We also get real about the unique challenges of raising interracial children and the unfortunate bias black women face in the healthcare system. But don't worry, it's not all serious stuff – we also get to some of your listener questions and Brandi shares her expert doula advice. This one is for all of the parents and parents-to-be. I hope you enjoy!
 
Love iskra and Philip Xoxo

It's not that I want to change my partner, but I've been trying to figure out how to get him to do things I want him to do. For a long time, I couldn't find a way that worked; the timing was wrong, my approach was incorrect, and I just came across as bossy and demanding. So, I sat down with my partner, Philip, to get to the bottom of it. I feel like I'm always helping and doing things for our family as the homemaker, wifey, and mama, and even though Philip is helpful, there are times when I want to ask him to do something. In this episode, we dive in and hopefully, it will help you feel more balanced in your relationship and enable you to ask for what you need, too.
 
Sending so much love
Iskra & Philip xoxo

It’s unrealistic to think you’ll go through any relationship without jealousy existing or impacting how you feel, but there are ways to make it productive. In today's episode we share personal anecdotes (honestly I cringe that I share this story) that made jealous moments actually bring us closer together.
 
Because it’s BS to think a jealous moment is enough to break up a relationship - you just have to know how to react and move forward. And in this episode that’s exactly what we aim to do, give you the tools to navigate jealousy productively and save your relationships from breaking point to growth.

This episode is so fun. Joslyn is a friend of mine and an actual ball of sunshine, and it was so wonderful getting to go deeper and learn how committing to their church, taking pre-marriage counseling and the importance of communication has made it possible for them to start a super successful home flipping business with over 13 projects in just a few short years - all while they film the whole process on YouTube so we can try do it too. 
 
I know you’ll be smiling through the whole episode and maybe even laugh as hard as I did.
