  • Yes, ladies. Yes.

    I like this show and the guests.

    Mona asks really good questions. Jeanette has warmth. You both feed off of each other well. I love the fashion too. You are doing a good job.

    Since this is also on YouTube, don’t let your guests come on with bad wigs. Rachel looked a mess and ungroomed. But the same is on her podcast.

    Eboni was my favorite guest. The cussing takes me aback, but her lived experience is so worth discussing. This episode honestly helped to prep me for an interview.

  • Inspiration

    I really enjoyed the rebranding episode so much it was a topic of conversation in my weekly work meeting and also an association at my job. The words seem to be more intention than just saying I want to do this, then you focus on that one thing.

  • Hard Pass

    After a listen, I honestly can’t say I’d tune in again. Mona seems very inauthentic. Jeanette, I liked. Hard to waste my limited time on a host that isn’t genuine.
