A collection of thoughts I've had recently. I talk about accountability and being accountable to ourselves. I make reference to my feelings surrounding episode 124 so if you haven't had a chance to listen to that, make sure you check it out. Also, are you brave enough to ask your close friends for feedback on how you can improve yourself? And it's been a while but I have a rant! Please subscribe to my podcast!

It's always fun having Jennifer Caswell on the show because she brings a perspective on things that many of us don't often consider. In this episode, we talk about how we sometimes over analyze innocuous comments made towards us, and second-guess ourselves. Also, have you or the people around you been going through it more lately? And by "it" I mean experiencing a shift in life that brings on chaos, effecting our day to day lives? Well, there may be a reason for this and Jenn sheds a bit of...

My previous episode seemed to have resonated with a few people. One listener in particular, Jennifer, was moved to reach out. She recognized similarities we shared surrounding self-worth. How our self-worth and how other's value you can get muddied. This conversation certainly helped me and opened my eyes to things and I hope it helps you as well. Please subscribe to my podcast!

This is a short one. But it's an emotional one. You all know I'm an emotional person and sometimes I need to be real about how I'm feeling. Maybe this is the turning point for the direction of this podcast. There are still a lot of things on my mind about what I should be doing and the type of topics I would like to share with you all. Since recording this episode, I have a somewhat clearer understanding of, and perhaps a bit more confidence about what I need to do. I would love to hear or...

Bringing you two terrifying tales to enhance your Halloween experience. Maybe they'll mildly entertain you. Maybe you're completely jaded and nothing phases you.

In this week's episode, I am joined by Stefan, one of the wonderful hosts of MLVC The Madonna Podcast. We chat about some of our frustrations we encounter while creating and maintaining a podcast and what keeps us motivated. He also shares with us how he's feeling in light of some recent changes in his life. Mourning the loss of a life that could have been. Also, is it wrong to eat ribs on a first date?

Emotional Support Water Bottles. What is that? Do you have one? Does it have a name. I'm still trying to figure out of my water bottle supports me on an emotional level. Also, a strange anecdote about an odd girl in a waiting room. There's always a pet peeve presenting itself to me around every corner. Please subscribe to my podcast!

My first solo episode. I plan on continuing with the same energy and message of what How You Feeling is all about. Honest conversations about mental health, personal growth, and social awkwardness. My hope is to have a mix of solo episodes full of reflection and observations, and casual conversations with friends about anything and everything. In this episode, I talk about the importance of sleep and how pain and fatigue affects how we function and grow. Also, the difficulties of making a...

This is the final episode Fran records as a host! But he won't be far from this show if Coco has anything to do with it.

Another random conversation with your two favourite hosts! Is it ok to tell a hired photographer to move out of the way while they are doing their job? Also, how difficult is it for people to separate the art from the artist? We've had the conversation before but we talk more about some of the celebrities we grew up watching and how it has become more difficult to love and support their TV shows and movies.

As the end of summer slowly approaches, transition and change become a part of all of our lives. This includes How You Feeling with Coco & Fran. With the start of many new and exciting projects in our futures, our availability has become less and less. And because of that, we made the decision that not only was Slay Your Weekend with Akilah no longer going to be a part of the HYF podcast, but Fran will no longer be a regular host with Coco. The time needed to produce both podcasts was too...

Who doesn't love a good buffet? Vast selections to choose from. Underwhelming flavours. Heartburn and indigestion. What more can you ask for?  Ok, so that might not be enough to pull you in. Let's add the need for some people to consume alcohol to have fun. Massage therapy. The evolution of Coco. Finances and socializing. And the importance of Halloween costume budgeting. We're getting hungry just reading about it all!  Please subscribe to our podcast! And follow us on Instagram...

The time has come for me to say goodbye to How You Feeling and relaunch my own podcast again. I am so grateful for the opportunity Coco & Fran have given me. I am also very excited to start this new chapter on my own, and to continue bringing my listeners the topics and conversations you have come to appreciate. Please continue to listen to and support How You Feeling With Coco and Fran! And head on over to my Instagram profile to get the latest updates on my new podcast, Conversations...

How often do you put others first? If you are a people pleaser, your need to be liked and accepted is almost always to the detriment of your own happiness. Your boundaries inevitably get crossed. Coco and Fran discuss the differences between them when it comes to pleasing others. Saying yes all the time isn't always bad, but neither is saying no. Please subscribe to our podcast!

How do we rate our love life? First, you have to define it. Ask yourself these questions: How do I want my love life to feel? What does it look like? What kind of experience am I looking for? And how am I showing up for that experience? Love is a very ambiguous concept but when we begin to hone in on some of the feelings, we can begin to define it. Also, a recent NYT article caught my attention, When Sexual Liberation Is Oppressive. It explores the gap between the rhetoric of sexual...

We think it's safe to say that what we see on social media is not a true or real representation of the people and the world around us. Have you ever asked yourself if your online persona is real or authentic? Authenticity isn't just about how we present ourselves online but also how we are with the people around us, in person. Do you express or suppress your feelings with others? Have you set up boundaries? What does it mean to be authentic? Please subscribe to our podcast! And follow us on...

Are you someone who gets their fill of socializing simply by scrolling through social media posts and seeing what your friends and family are up to? Has social media ruined our ability to socialize? We are so distracted by what we see online - we've seen it all, why do anything in person? There's also this perception that we can only socialize during the holidays. Why do we wait to see the people that matter in our lives? Why can't we commit to keeping those connections alive and thriving by...

Establishing boundaries is the ultimate form of self care. How many times have we forgone our own boundaries just to please others? The perception that setting boundaries is mean or selfish needs to end. In order to achieve your goals, boundaries need to be set. If you do not respect yourself, your words, and your feelings first, how can you expect others to respect you? Follow me on Instagram @akilahpeynado. Please subscribe to our podcast!

A topic that we love to discuss here at How You Feeling: Disappointment. We complain about people disappointing us with their actions, or lack thereof. So why do we accept it? Why don't we have the conversations that will hopefully correct the behaviour? If it matters enough to us to be bothered by it, and complain about it, why do we hesitate to confront?  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/howyoufeeling/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/howyoufeeling/support

Author, sex educator, and historian Habeeb Akande joins me to discuss his book, Kunyaza - The Secret To Female Pleasure. His mission is to close the gender pleasure gap and teach people how to be sexually satisfied with traditional cultural practices. His book aims to center, celebrate, and venerate the Black woman's narrative through their contributions, as well as debunk the stigma of female pleasure. You can learn more about Habeeb and his books here. Follow me on Instagram...

There are so many facets of the human experience that are connected with our mental health and happiness. And a huge part of that experience is sexuality and sexual health. Although there has been progress within these categories, there is still so much stigma wrapped around sexuality. We speak with Lisa Henry, a professor of Human Sexuality at the School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa, and discuss how the power of knowledge and communication when trying to understand our sexual...
