Welcome to our living room coach episode of our podcast where we dive deep into the topic of gender roles and double standards in relationships. In this episode, we explore the societal norms and expectations placed on men and women in relationships, and how they impact the dynamics of the relationship.
We start by discussing the concept of gender roles, and how traditional gender roles have changed over time. We look at how these changes have impacted relationships, and whether or not they have been successful in creating more equal partnerships.
We then delve into the topic of double standards, particularly when it comes to expectations of behavior and attitudes in men and women. We discuss the unfair expectations placed on women to be caretakers and emotional nurturers, and the pressure on men to be the providers and breadwinners in the relationship.
Throughout the episode, we share personal anecdotes and experiences, and discuss how these gender roles and double standards have affected our own relationships. We also offer practical tips for listeners on how to challenge these norms and create more equal and fulfilling relationships.
Finally, we wrap up the episode by reflecting on the importance of breaking down gender roles and double standards in relationships, not only for the benefit of individuals but for society as a whole. Join us as we explore this important topic and uncover ways to create healthier, more equal relationships.
Have we ever talked about the thought of how success can almost mask the issues going on in other areas of our lives?

In this episode, we're talking about Black Financial Trauma and how it impacts our identity.
Have you ever been in a position where you felt like you had to purchase things to look a specific way in order to be "SEEN" as successful? Or maybe you've been the individual to say "I don't believe they're making money", yeah, us too.That's what we're talking about. Why is that? What is that? And what are the long term effects if we don't start having conversations around it?
We'll also be delving into the idea of conscientious identity crisis, which is when we attach our identity to the things we buy in order to feel superior or equal. And let's be real, we've all been there at some point. But we'll be discussing how this way of thinking can be detrimental to our long-term financial health and well-being.
But of course with all of this, we address how we can address and empower ourselves financially. One thing we'll be exploring is the instinct to change our lifestyle and buy material things when we make money. And while this may be a common tendency, it's important to unpack the trauma that comes with believing that looking like money is the only way to win. Success can also be found in intangibles, and we'll be discussing that too.
So, join us for this important conversation about Black Financial Trauma and how we can overcome its impact on our identity.

If one person meets the need of the other, does the increase happen on the other end or will it never be that perfect?
Are men and women really just THAT different?
In this clip from episode 26, we talk INTENTIONALITY and the thoughts around if it'll even make a difference.
How many times in a relationship do we wish our partner knew every need we had just met them without us asking? All the time? Yeah... Us too.
Unfortunately, it's not possible from reading minds. It's only possible from getting dirty and doing the work with a desire to LEARN your partner.
So in this episode we unpack the book titled His Needs Vs Her Needs in order to really understand the difference of men and women in marriage or relationship.
We all have our needs and we deserve to have them met, not some of the time but all of the time!

No matter how much we try to plan, life is unpredictable and can change in unexpected ways. Its essential to be able to develop a financial plan to ensure you’re prepared.
In this clip from episode 25, we talk about the steps we took to pivot with unexpected change.
Assess your current financial situation. How much money do you have in savings? What monthly bills do you pay?
The most important step for us was to prioritize your spending. Where is the most essential and where can you cut back? Determine what is necessary, and what can be put on hold until you’re in a more stable place financially.
Life transitions can be stressful and undesirable but with a financial plan in place, you’ll be better prepared to move forward.
In this clip from episode 25, we dive into the topic of how stillness can help you escape the noise of daily life and find your purpose. We discuss why it was necessary for us, the importance of taking time to be quiet and reflect, the feelings we experienced in it and how doing so can give you clarity on what you truly want in life and help you take action towards achieving it. Join us for a thought-provoking clip on how stillness can help you find your purpose in life.

It's never easy dealing with issues that your loved ones experience, especially Mental Health and Mental Illnesses.
There are moments in our lives where we become triggered by events, conversation or moments in your life and not sure why or where the root of it comes from.
In this episode, Malcolm opens up for the first time about how his brothers struggle with mental illness changed him and how he'd never dealt with any of the feelings or thoughts in regards to it and became numb to it.
This episode really peels back some of the layers of the hurt we've never even talked about when you cant control the things that happen to the people that you love.

In this clip we discuss how intimacy and vulnerability can provide clarity in understanding if she's the one for you!
Women always want to know THIS: WHY has he NOT committed... why hasn't he proposed and given me a RING?
In this clip, Malcolm drops 3 reasons he thinks a man that hasn't committed to his woman, hasn't.
Britt challenges the perspective heavily.
Do you agree? Who's side are you leaning on?
Episode 21 comes from a wild and raunchy IG live we did where we deep dive into intimacy of a relationship, how men and women differ when it comes to communicating... what’s real and what’s fake.
But according to a post from Dana Chanel that every man sent to their woman about the WEAPONIZING of sex... do women really do that, is it really "weaponizing", does it make relationships more complicated?
Men and women have very different perspectives, but it’s important to hear both sides because the truth lies somewhere in between and it wasnt just us and our opinions but those of the individuals in the comments so you will def hear us reading some of them for context.
Sit back, relax and get a bottle of wine while we unpack the very controversial topic that everybody seems to miss lol

We had an eye opening conversation around discovering our money personalities within the relationship. A topic most people have never had with their family, friends or spouse. Sometimes it’s important to compare differences in order to learn why people operate they way they do. Whether you are single, in a relationship or just hanging with friends, this topic is an important discussion to have, especially if we want to communicate more effectively.
Take a ride with us as we unpack the FIVE Money Personalities based on the book by Scott and Bethany Palmer and if you hear one that relates to you don’t forget to work on the others, because nobody has the perfect trait.

I don’t think any man plans the day he has children but rather would like it to be on his terms. Fatherhood not only changes a man but it teaches him invaluable lessons that he can’t get anywhere else.
Are men ever ready? Do they want their son to be just like them? Or would they rather raise a girl instead ? We unpack it all in this weeks episode clip.
Now this episode is definitely more raunchy, raw and entertaining but INFORMATIVE to ppl who want to learn how men think and how they are feeling within relationships.
More conversation around family dynamics, intimacy, sex and marital peaks and valleys are all apart of the dialogue.
So take the journey while 3 millennial men express what really happens in barbershop conversation !

In this clip we talk about what marriage truly means and the importance of the Vows each couple has made under God.
Do we really know what all this is about? Are ppl marrying for love or for convenience? Either way we dissect it in this episode clip…
We’ve all heard about how men do not express themselves, and sometimes that’s true. Women always ask questions like, “what is he THINKING”. However, there’s never been a true space for men to feel comfortable enough expressing themselves… not until we create the space ourselves.
So we did just that, we brought our brothers Alex and Cory on the show to talk about it! Take the ride with us on this conversation where we discuss mental health, marriage, finances, relationships and more.

In our season of pivoting, change and understanding that change, this gave us so much perspective and understanding to learn that when desires for certain things change, it could simply be that you’ve fulfilled that assignment, you’ve fulfilled that purpose and NOT that you’ve failed.
Plus, you’ve been equipped with tools and skills for your next purpose.

In this book, they break down the BREAKDOWN and reasoning most people have difficulty talking about, communicating about and dealing with MONEY and the different ways we see it.
This week we tackle the conversations around Who Pays the Bills, Setting Budgets, Debt Accumulation, Investing, & Giving and how to communicate about it ALL!

After being together since 2013, we've had our fair share of changes and adjustments but the biggest one would come when we found out that we'd be expecting our first child after celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary.
Our greatest joy in life has been our son but this week we chat about if we were actually ready for all the things that parenthood came with and how we've adjusted to our new roles and how parenthood had changed all of our current roles too..

Let's be honest, we have all had those moments where we feel like "THEY don't support me"... whether in business, an idea, a new venture, college, relationships, etc., they don't support me, but have we ever stopped to think about what our actual support needs are?
Like WHAT does "SUPPORT" actually look like for me? Is it a shared post, showing up, or a pat on the back?
Is the problem that our expectation is a reflection of how we show up for others? Is it that we have a want but don't actually voice our needs to feel supported?
What about the moments where life changes and we are no longer on the same paths, you don't support this version of me...
This week we talk about support and how we can learn how to effectively voice what our needs are to the people around us!

Of all the things to call us, spoiled, entitled, but BROKE? Millennials have been called many things but recent studies have shown that our generation has become the brokest generation living but somehow, at the same time, the richest?
There's a wealth gap to be discussed but it's not just a racial gap, is there a millennial wealth gap? Being "broke" might be the biggest underlying issue facing us if this statement deems true.
In this episode we unpack the narrative surrounding millennial finances and the long term effects of what we are doing and what we know and don't know.

In this episode we break down the good and the bad of our collegiate experience. We discuss the flaws of the system, the things we wish happened for us as well as the benefits and some of our favorite moments during our college years -- of course the best one being, BECOMING, The Garrisons.

As Millennials, we've been around for the entire social media development, from MySpace and Blackplanet to IG and TikTok.
In this episode we discuss both the benefits and the dangers social media offers and how we've personally navigated through them. As individuals who've built a business utilizing connections made through social media, we truly value it, but has it become TOXIC AF? Does social media create pressure to succeed or motivation? Does it make you compare yourself to the people you look up to or evaluate how you can develop yourself?
