I've been unemployed for two months, and dating feels different, lighter, calmer, clearer.

In this episode, I talk about how not working became a filter in my dating life, revealing who needs me to be impressive and who can meet me as I am. I unpack the pressure on Black gay men to always be strong, stable, and exceptional. My worth didn’t disappear when my job did.

I’ve been single for eight years and I’m not ashamed of it. In this episode, I talk about my dating history, why apps feel like a drug, how therapy changed the way I date, and why I refuse to compete for someone who can’t choose me. If you’re single, tired of being questioned, or done entertaining confusion, this one’s for you.

After 19 years of working nonstop, I quit my job, not because I failed, but because I didn’t recognize myself anymore. In this episode, I talk about rejecting perfectionism, burnout, and the pressure to constantly be “better,” especially as a Black person navigating systems that reward overworking and self-erasure. I share what I saw after a decade in HR, how hustle culture became survival conditioning for me, and why I’m choosing wholeness over performance. This isn’t a motivational speech or a quit-your-job fantasy. It’s a reckoning, a reset, and a reminder that success shouldn’t cost you your soul.
