In this episode, I reflect on rewatching the show Snowfall and how it triggered memories of growing up in Red Hook, Brooklyn, during the height of the crack epidemic. In 1988, LIFE Magazine called Red Hook “the crack capital of America,” and they weren’t exaggerating. My hood was wild; there were shootouts in broad daylight, families torn apart, and kids like me just trying to survive. The rise of crack brought trauma, chaos, and destruction to entire communities. Let’s talk about what happened when crack hit New York City, and the generational damage it left behind.

On this episode of The Gorgeous Guru Podcast, I pose the question: Did feminism destroy marriage? What started as a question about casual sex quickly turned into something much deeper (thanks to a nudge from my spirit guides). I explore the connection between the feminist movement and the decline of marriage. But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. This "destruction" might be the doorway to more conscious, expansive, and authentic relationships. Let’s talk about it!

In this episode, My Midlife Crisis & Clarity, I open up about the emotional rollercoaster that hit me in my 40s, a personal reckoning that forced me to take a hard look at the life I’ve built and the dreams I had to let go. From unpacking the sting of regret and childlessness to finding peace in the life I do have, I share how therapy, spiritual guidance, and a whole lot of honesty helped me shift from mourning to clarity. I encourage anyone in the thick of a midlife crisis to tune in. You are not alone.
