It's the season finale y'all! I had to end it off with my girls April and Alexa so it's a family affair and we're talking Bad Bunny's song "Tití Me Preguntó" from his recent album Un Verano Sin Ti. It's about him loving his single life and being too scared of love, or trusting anyone.

I also read an excerpt from "Attached" about the...

Today I'm getting into Ne-Yo's 2008 song, "Miss Independent", with a guest - ceci bendita. The song is all about Ne-Yo seeing a woman being a boss, getting it all by herself, and him being obsessed and so happy that it seems like he doesn't need to offer or do anything for her. It's funny hearing this song and thinking about the meaning now that we’re older. We talk about the relevance the song had back in 2008 when women were first starting to celebrate being on their own, making their own...

I'm getting into Megan Thee Stallion's song, "Plan B" today! It's all about knowing your worth and not putting your faith into an ain't sh** man. I talk about how some jealous insecure people will try to date your ex when you're done with them and how a lot of times it's because they wanna be you, but you can't pay them no mind. Of course I had to get into abortion rights and contraception, being that the title is "Plan B", and that women's rights are being threatened. I strongly encourage...

This episode I'm getting into Sabrina Claudio's song, "Problem With You", from her 2019 album Truth is. It's all about the struggles of an over thinker with an anxious attachment dealing with a partner that doesn't take any accountability about the way their behavior is damaging the relationship and the way they feel. Part of the problem of course can be the nitpicking and constant over-analyzing, but dealing with someone that leaves you hanging and puts you in a position to constantly fill...

Today I'm getting into MARG's song, "Promise Me" which is all about falling for someone quickly and feeling like it was destined and you're meant for one another. It leads into a conversation about how when we apply to much pressure with someone that doesn't like you, you look like a creep, and some people need to learn to read social cues better. I also talk about the difference between being controlling and setting boundaries. Then I talk about dealing with anxiety in a relationship whether...
