Like, it're gonna have, we got a whole camera crew coming so we can get the content. Like it's gonna be big. I can't wait. I don't know. I tried on my dress, Ashley, and I don't know how these girls and Legos do it. Like the corset, I can't move, girl. Like I feel like everything in my stomach is pushed down. Like how the hell y'all do this? You just gotta hold your breath and just stand there and be cute.

But, Ashley, we're gonna be here from three tonight, and you know how the Nigerians party. Yeah, you can't sit down in your dress? I can't sit down in the dress as long. How am I gonna use the bathroom? Like, it's a lot of things that... I didn't think about the bathroom part. I didn't think about that.

Yes. Okay, we'll figure it out. Don't worry.'t think about the bathroom part. I didn't think about that. Yes. Okay, we'll figure it out. Don't worry. We're gonna figure it out. We're gonna figure it out. But make sure y'all stay tuned because we are gonna give y'all live content on what's going on and how the ladies and gentlemen in Nigeria get down when they get married. Yeah, because there's a whole vibe, and I'm here for it.

I can't wait to show y'all. I can't wait to share everything from tomorrow. I'm excited. So let's get into it until tomorrow. Y'all stay tuned. We're going to get into our first topic today. Your man, your secrets, should your bestie know it all. That's a good one. That's a good one.

All right, y'all, let's be real. Relationships can get really messy, emotional, and sometimes hilarious. But when things happen between you and your man, do you keep it locked down, or is your bestie the first to know? I'm guilty in my previous relationships that I have talked to my bestie about things that

happened in my relationship. So tonight we're diving into loyalty, boundaries, and sometimes blurry lines between friendships and romance. So what are the rules if there are any? Before we get into it, we're going to have a spill or two. What is spill or two? It's basically, okay, I'm gonna ask a few questions. Would you spill it to your bestie or keep it on lock?

Ah, okay. Let's do it. So this is the little icebreaker before we get into the topic. All right. He gave you the worst birthday gift ever. You gonna tell your friend or you gonna chill out on it? I'll tell my friend because you know why my friend could help him next year in getting the appropriate gift. You know what I'm saying? Like I feel like maybe he needs to need

a little bit of help and I feel like that's not that deep. So I would definitely spill, tell the bestie to help, help, help my man up please. Help him out. So help fill out. Please Lord. I remember that happened because you remember, it was Serenity's birthday and Phil brought the boys to Checkie Cheese and we was talking, some of you was like, Phil got me these shoes and I didn't like it, I really wanted these shoes. And then I threw a hit, I threw a hit to Phil.

I was like, Phil, I had on the shoes. I was like, Phil, Ashley really want these shoes right here. Yeah. Girl, yeah. Phil is the one who needs some help. I'm definitely spilling to the bestie. Go help Phil out because he don't be knowing. He don't be knowing. God bless him. I feel like it's the guys.

Sometimes they just do whatever. Like, unless you tell them, hey, this is exactly what I want. Yeah, they did whatever I Feel like that's something though That you know is it's okay to tell the bestie You know when it comes to the rules and what you do and don't like I feel like that one is a good one We get to go with yeah. Yeah, okay. What's next? He accidentally calls you by his ex's name while having sex We good to go with that one. Yeah, okay, what's next? What's the next one? Okay. Oh, this is a good one.

He accidentally calls you by his ex's name while having sex. Ah! What should I say? Ah ah. Like they're doing about you. Ah ah. Ah ah.

Okay, but then people have to get out of jail because what? Yeah, no, that's unacceptable. And I know I would be that's embarrassing, honestly. I'm not feeling that because quite frankly, I'm embarrassed that you would even do that. And like not me to figure out our whole situation. Like, why are you thinking about her?

Why is she on your mind? Like, it's so much stuff I gotta go through in my mind. Like, I'm not, I'm not spilling that. I'm not spilling that. That is definitely embarrassing. That's something that I definitely would not say. Have it ever happened, well, you only been in one relationship really.

No. Thank God it has never happened. Thank God it has never happened to me. Yeah, uh-uh. We not spilling that dough. That's embarrassing. Absolutely not. That's crazy. Okay.

All right. We just want the man. We're going to chill and keep that one to the side. He gives you a gift that screams last minute gas station grab. Yeah, I'm probably spilling. He gives you a gift that screams last-minute gas station grab. Yeah, I'm probably spilling because why? Ew, I got to tell somebody I'm upset, you know what I'm saying? And I don't want to be like the nagger and sound ungrateful to him. So if I got a, you know, nag and you know, be upset, I'm gonna tell bestie and let her let me vim real quick.

Yeah, that's you know what that happens to me before. No, be upset. I'ma tell Bestie and let her let me in real quick. Yeah, that's... You know what? That happened to me before. Not the gas station grab. The girl... The gas station. The gas station flowers. Oh, no. It was so embarrassing.

But which one? Jack? No. Wait, I didn't like the flowers. It was the worst. I ain't even meant to put their business out there like that, but it was horrible. Mm. I'll tell you after we get off this.

Okay, well, um, yeah, guys, do not go to the gas station to get no fl... Not for nothing. Unless you filling up our tanks, we don't need nothing else from the gas station, okay? Gas station, exactly. Don't pick us up now. We don't even need to stick a gun. No, I'm good, thank you. No thank you. His sex game is horrible.

You spilling or you chilling? Ooh. Horrible. I will probably chill until I just am good on it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I won't sell my bestie immediately, but at some point I gotta spill, because girl, uh-uh, not him coming over here

with this weak-ass sex game. And he probably think he oughta that, and a bag of chips, like, absolutely not. No. And they'll be the main ones. They'll be the main ones. They right here, adding like big dick energy and it's not giving, so no. Have one little sorry little move, and it's horrible. Yeah, real bad.

We spilling, we spilling, we spilling all of that. Yes, definitely. Okay, let's get into it. Do you think it is healthy to share everything about your relationship with your best friend? When is it okay to vent and when is it crossing the line? Child, I mean, I feel like your best seat is special. So I feel like there are things that you can literally share

with your best friend that you can't share with your husband or that you can share with their husband, but it just won't hit the same. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes you're looking for something in a conversation with, you know, someone and your bestie is the only person that can really, you know, meet you where you're at. You know what I'm saying? So I've learned that, you know, meet you where you're at. You know what I'm saying? So I've learned that, you know, I just try to, when it comes to like relationship stuff, like if it's between me and Phil, like specifically, if it's something that I feel like, you know, he wouldn't want me repeating to anybody else, I definitely wouldn't share that, you know, if it has something to do with, you know,

our personal business, I'm not sharing that. But also I think there's, it's smart to have like other married friends because sometimes they're going through like the same things that you're going through and keeping those things inside, you know, it could be a disservice when your friend might have gone through the same thing as you and you could easily just like let them know like, hey, this is where we're at, this is what's happening, but you got to make sure that those are the right

people for you and the right people that you can confide in. So I think it's just like a slippery slope with who you decide to like share your business with. But overall, I think that it is probably not the smartest idea to share like everything. You know, you really got to, it's certain things, you know? That's true. I feel like, you know, lesson learned for me in my previous relationship before Chad, I was betrayed by a friend where, you know, they ended up messing around because I overshared too much information. And...

The husband and the friend. Yes, my ex and the friend. Had a whole situation. Yeah, oversharing information. And it's like, like you said, you have to be careful who you share your stuff with, because every friend, you can't treat the same. So I felt like going through that, it created me to not trust, not be not to be able to open up to my friends because I took what she did

on everyone else and it put a guard up. So it's like. I'm very. I have, yes, I'm very guarded when it comes to who I talk to about, you know, my personal relationship or... It was hard to get over. Like, it's something like, you would never think that someone so close to you, that you call your friend,

that you took in, would betray you and go behind your back and do things when you went into them about things you went through. I think you do have to guard your relationship though. Like, you're supposed to protect your marriage, you know? And so, you are supposed to go out and just be sharing everything willy-nilly, you know? Not even with your bestest, best, best, best, best friend. They don't need to know everything,

but I do think, you know, if there's something that you're going through and you're seeking advice and you feel like this person, like, is somebody you can confide in and you can trust, then yeah, absolutely, but we have to be very careful. You're supposed to protect your relationship. Your relationship with your husband is everything. So, I'm sad you went through that,

because... That's crazy. And I was pregnant. She asked, like, what happened? Like, how did he move on? I tried to... I called my sergeant. I was like, y'all gonna have to bail me out of jail. I was pregnant with them. I went over there, tried to kick down the door.

That was in my heyday. I was still in the military. I was like, you know what? I have so much going on. I can't risk what I have going for this foolishness, but it was a lot to get over. Yeah. I bet. That's a lot. That's crazy.

Yeah. Okay, but let me ask you, what about the opposite? What about telling your husband things that you and your best friend have talked about? Pillow talking. Exactly. I feel like it's rules to that too. It is. I cannot pillow talk because speaking from experience, when I was younger, I used to

pillow talk and say things that went on in my friendship lives. They start to look at them different. They start to judge them and it's like, at the end of the day, this is my friend. But they assume that you're going to do the same thing that they're doing because you're pillow-talking. So it's... I wouldn't do it anymore. At the age that I'm at now, what goes on with my friend life is her business. It's not my, you know, my partners.

Yeah, I agree. I don't like the philis talking. I feel like I have friends who tell their husbands everything, and so then it makes me cautious about what I share with them, you know what I'm saying? It's like, well, wait a minute, because I already know you're gonna go back and tell your man, you know what I'm saying?

And I don't want him looking at me crazy, and I don't want my conversation to get out to nobody else. I don't know who we talk to, you know, like it's just too much. So then it's like, damn, that kind of messed up with our friendship because I can't really open up to you like I want to. But yeah, I definitely... There's so many relationships. I'm sorry, go ahead. No, go ahead, go ahead. No, it's so many relationships that have been ruined just from pillow talking.

It's like people don't understand, like, you have to draw the line and there has to be boundaries set when it comes to you and your friends discussing information about, you know, your partners and vice versa. You need to discuss information about your friends to your partners. Also, it's not even a turn on for me. Like if Phil was to sit down and want to have a whole conversation about like girl shit, I would be looking at him sideways. Like, why are you even interested in what me and Keisha was talking about?

Like, ugh. Like, no, this is girl business. This is girl drama. Like, why do you care like that? And I will say, sometimes I do get excited and I'm like, Phil, guess what, da-da-da-da-da. He'd just be looking at me like, man, why do you care like that? And I will say, sometimes I do get excited. And I'm like, no, guess what, da da da da da. He just be looking at me like, bitch, I do not care. Care is what. Exactly, that's a good point.

Exactly. So, yeah, I feel like men need to stay in men's, you know, business. Don't be in the women's business, OK? It's not sexy. Yeah. I don't like that at all. At all.

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you actually have you ever regretted telling your best friend something about your man? Yes. Yes, I have. But not actually we weren't married yet. You know, but that's the thing too. It's like, you know, you don't I didn't know I was gonna end up marrying you. And I'm like, I'm not married yet.

I'm not married yet. I'm not married yet. I'm not married yet. I'm not married yet. I'm not married yet. I'm not married yet. I'm not married yet. we weren't married yet, you know, but that's the thing too. It's like, you know, you don't, I didn't know I was going to end up marrying this man. I didn't tell it all to man business. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, um, yeah, I mean, I'm definitely regretted it.

So you just have to be careful because now me and her are not best friends anymore, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, now they got information that I don't want to them, you know what I'm saying? Repeating, and it's just like, you know? So you gotta be careful. I wonder how it is, like we always, it's easy for us to vent to our best friends

in regards to things that are going on in our relationships. But we never look at it like, how would a man, how would we feel if our male vented to their best friends about us? Like, would you take it some type of way? I think Phil did leave it in about me. I think he probably has.

I feel like I've stressed him out to a point where he's needed to vent. But I don't know why he's been to them, because I don't feel like they can give him good advice. So whatever they tell him, it don't even matter. But I think men should, though though talk to their guy friends. Because I feel like they don't normally. I feel like they try to keep things in. They want to be a man and open up. And I feel like they should get it off your chest. You know what I'm saying? Because I call my friend real quick and be like, girl, if Phil is getting on my nerves so bad. He over here, getting on my nerves. Like, you know, I do that all the time.

And I feel like, I know I can be annoying. So, I feel like, you know, Phil should probably go to his friends every now and then when I get on his nerves. I mean, it's for his mental health. You know what I'm saying? I would rather, I would definitely rather for my partner to vent to his male friends than to anyone else else or a stranger or a female or whatever because... Oh no, definitely not a female.

It's hard for men, first of all, it's hard for men to communicate. They don't like communicating about what's going on in their relationship. They would rather hold it in. Right. And I feel like it just gets worse. But to just let it out, even if your friend can't, don't even give you any advice, but for him to, for him to be able to let it out. Yeah. It's a good thing. It's healthy. It's healthy. Yeah. So I'm not mad. If you know. Yes. My partner wanted.

I said my partner, like. Your partner. You got a partner. What's the next subject, girl? What's this? Looking into that later. What's the next one? We got to get into it. All right, so we got people. We talking about Hot Girl Summer versus Healing Girl era.

Which one are you in, Sherelle? Sherellika? SHERELLICA LAUGHS Well, that's my new name, Sherellika. SHERELLICA HUMMING Which one are you in? I think I'm transitioning from... a little new girl era to hot girl summer to new girl era.

It's like a roller coaster ride for me. Because just a couple weeks ago, I mean, it was like, I'm not dating, I'm not doing anything. And I needed to heal, Ashley. Okay, so you're past your healing, your healing girl era, and now you're in your Hot Girl Summer era? I am. Okay.

Tell me more, tell me more. So then, Sammy, you're dating, you outside. I started outside and, and you know, outside, I just can't be outside. Outside is not for me. Okay. Okay. It's not for me. All right. be outside. Outside is not for me. OK. OK. It's not for me.

All right. It says, so are you outside living your best life or inside journaling and drinking tea with your crystals? Today, we're talking hot girl summer versus healing girl era. And yes, it's OK to be a little of both, which sounds kind of like you, Sherellika. This is why I like Sherellika. This is why they call me Sherellika. Yes, girl. Okay, so here's the game. Is it hot or healing? Okay, so let me know.

Number one, blocking your ex after a glow-up photo drop. Is that hot or healing? I ain't gonna block if I have a glow-up photo drop. Is that hot or healing? I ain't gonna block if I have a glow-up photo drop. You gonna see all this greatness over here. Yeah, he need to see. He need to see. He need to see. You gonna get that hot girl energy without being blocked. So that's hot. Yes, I think that's, I think you should though though. I think, like, when you go through a breakup, you should, like, get a new hairstyle,

you know what I'm saying? Go to the gym, like, start, you know, getting back into yourself, and then post that shit, pop out. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes you gotta pop off and show. Yeah. Okay, I agree. So, that's hot. It's hot and healing.

That's healing too. Yeah, I think so. All right. Saying no to plans to protect your peace. Is that hot or healing? Healing, I would go with healing for that one. Yeah, that's definitely healing. I need to, I mean, I'm not going through nothing, but like, I feel like I need to learn to say no.

I feel like I have to be saying yes to a lot. So that's like something I need to work on this year. That's the same. It's hard for me to say no. Because I'll be like, okay. Yes, okay, I'll come to Nigeria. Sure, no problem. I'll be there.

Staying last. It's just a quick Nigeria. Shy. No problem. I'll be there. Staying last. It's just a quick flight. Okay. All right. Booking a solo trip after a breakup, is that hot or healing? Healing. That was me. Yeah.

I was going through healing stage. I was just booking trips. It still is. Which is why I'm in the predicament I'm in right now, having to be over here in Nigeria and go to the embassy to get an emergency passport. It sounds like you might be a little hot. It's hot. It's a little hot if you got to do all that.

It's killing and it's still hot. All right, it's giving both. I mean, I think healing can be hot. Like you can be out, you know, trying to find yourself and that could consider being hot, but it's a part of your healing. Right. Some people heal differently. Some people need to be outside, you know, so. But do you really think that's healing or is that just being outside? Because I feel like being outside is just a cover up, a temporary fix for you to get,

try to get over what you're, what you went through, but it's not healing what you went through. It's just at the end of the day, once you come back inside, you got to deal with what you've been facing. Yeah, for sure. At the end of the day, once you come back inside, you got to deal with what you've been facing. Yeah, for sure. I think that could definitely be a cover-up, um, and not dealing with your problems. But sometimes I feel like people who, like, hide inside

are doing, like, more, you know, it's hurting them more. Perfectly more. Yeah. Sometimes people don't lean on other people. They end up, you know, afraid to meet new people and guard their heart and, you know, aren't open to, you know, just meeting new people and new opportunities. They just completely shut down.

And I don't think that's healthy either. You know what I mean? No. I think, you know, it's probably a balance of the two that's needed. That's true. I feel like for me, I can't be on the inside all day. Like I have, I'm a people person. I have to be around people and you know, going through what I went through. I felt like traveling, just traveling, just being out and enjoying the world.

It was very therapeutic. And it helped me a lot. It helped me learn who I am and just learn what I wanted in life and in the relationship and not being able to settle or compromise with things just because this was good, but my value was in this, and this is what I wanted from a man more than this. So it just made me reevaluate

what I wanted in a relationship. So do you feel like, would you recommend like traveling and dating abroad? Is that something that you would say made you open again to the possibility of dating and finding love again? So what made me open to dating first, I had to heal myself.

I had to make sure I was good, I was healed, and I wasn't bringing any negative or insecurities into, you know, anything new that I decided to get in. I did fasting, you know, I got back into my Bible, I felt like I was pulling away from God. And just, you know, fasting, getting back closer to guy and focusing on work, traveling, that just cleared my mind and cleared my headspace and just gave me more motivation to get out there and say, you know, you can do this. It's not the end of the world. You don't stop just because of this relationship, isn't it? And there are so many people out there. There are so many beautiful, amazing people out there

that's gonna, you know, give you what you want, treat you how you want to be treated or even better. So, after I healed myself, I decided to, you know, I was traveling and... You testing the waters? I'm testing the waters a little bit. And I'm liking these waters. I'm liking this temperature over here.

Absolutely. Okay. Okay. Okay, but your breakup is still very, like, relevant. Like, they still post, like, your ex and you. Like, I just saw on Hollywood Unlocked, like, couples that, you know, which couples would you like to see get back together? And I see your face and your ex. So how does that make you feel?

Like, do you think that, does it make you rethink? Like maybe, you know, we could get back together or like, what does, how does that make you feel? I feel like, you know, I don't know what the future may bring. If, if, if it was meant for us to be back together, then it would happen. If not, you know, I wish my ex the best and of course, you know, me to move on, but no, no ill will over there. If it happens, it happens. If it don't, it don't. We still share a beautiful child. Yeah, you really, I mean, you can handle this whole thing with grace,

because the people be coming for you. They be coming for you on the internet. They do. But, you know, people always be outside shell. They're always outside shell, so you can't, it's not for me to fight what people think. Right. What they assume. I agree. So, how do you feel is different? Because obviously, like, you're open, you're traveling.

So how do you feel is different dating people that are not in the United States? Like, is there a big difference? I think it's beautiful. That's not the question, because I'm living through it right now. And the people want? Like, is there a big difference? I think it's beautiful. That's not as special because I'm living through you right now and the people want to know, I want to know, I'm the people.

So. I feel like I'm in the interview, what happened to this bit? So we'll get back to number babies. So we want to know, how is it dating men that are not in the U.S.? Is it different? Is it better?

Dating a man, dating a man. Okay, dating a man, not in the US. I mean, it's beautiful. It's something different. Like it's excitement. Of course, every new relationship or a situationship is exciting in the beginning, but it's just, it's something different.

It's fun. And I feel like it's, we're just both enjoying ourselves. I'm having a good time. But what would you say is the difference in like their, is it their culture, their customs, how they like treat you, how they talk to you? What's a major difference that you would say between the two? I feel like they are raised to know how to treat and cater to a woman. My biggest love language is, you know, sharing with gifts, affection, you know, touch.

So you're getting all the above. All the above. Yes. That's beautiful. Okay. Okay. I can't complain right now. I'm enjoying the moment. Yeah. Well, I love that for you.

I mean, I think, I mean, I'm watching you and I'm living through you, bitch. And we just spent all my business out here. I wasn't ready for this, Ashley. I was not ready for this. I mean, he talking about, I felt like he was, I mean, the people want to know, I want to know. So it is what it is, child. We can talk about something else now.

We don't got to keep talking about your ex and then y'all gonna get back together. We can move forward, okay? Yes. So, that's where we, yeah, we want to bigger, better things. It's beautiful. We're in new countries, you know what I'm saying? And I'm proud of you.

We're actually traveling. I'm traveling. I'm going to South Africa next. And then, yeah, and then back to the States. See, and y'all going all over the continent. I love that. I feel like we match each other energy. We both like the same things in life.

So that, and he's a business very business savvy. So yeah. Wilson very good. We're just very compatible, very compatible. He's marking off all the checks on all the boxes. Okay. All right. I love that. Okay. Back to humble baddies now. Believe you. I'm gonna beat your ass. I'm sorry. I just... I'm over here sweating like, girl. I'm over here texting you like, bitch.

The people wanted to know. Okay. I'll tell you that. All right. What what we got next? Let's see. See, you don't ask me all these questions. No, I'm lost now. We were supposed to be talking about what is Hot Girl Summer really versus

what is the Hidden Girl here. Thank you for getting me back on track. Sorry. Okay. Okay. So what is the Hot Girl Summer really about versus what is the Healing Girl era? Well, I mean, I feel like you kind of skipped over really, you didn't have a hot girl summer. It ain't the summer yet. Like you ain't even have that. I feel like you had your healing time, I didn't even have that. I feel like you had your healing time, which I felt like you were really like,

no, I'm not dating nobody. I need to focus on myself. Like you said, you got back into your Bible, you was fastened. Those are all very healing things. And those are things that I feel like we should all do on a regular. We don't have to be going through nothing

to get back to those things. Those are like important things that we should just always be doing. It's always something that we can heal from and you know gain from that. But Hot Girl Summer though is fun and I'm looking for them friends too. Where y'all at? Where my home girls want to have a Hot Girl Summer? Because I'm be living through y'all too. Listen, I feel like you can still have a hot girl summer with your man. Yes, I feel that way. I feel that way. But I think it's different when you're single though.

That's true, because I had a few times where I went out and I had little girl strips while I was going through my healing era and we turnt up. We had a ball. But it's just, I feel like it's just too much. Like, it can be draining as well, having too much... spending too much time on a hot girl summer. Because you gotta understand, you lose focus. Like, trying to be out here to...

Me, I'm all about business. Like, I feel like I ain't making no money. I can't be out here having a hot girl summer too much. I'm missing out on money. I can do it every, you know, test the waters, but I got a room out behind back in. Like, let me get back to this. Yes, yes, I agree. It is a distraction.

It is a distraction. It can be detrimental if you don't reel it back in. But I ain't mad at it. Okay, so what about stereotypes versus reality? What are the stereotypes? Of what? Hot Girl Summers? I feel like the stereotypes of hot girl summers, people think that, you know, it's all glitz and glam.

Like, oh, you're just out here living your best life. I wish I can just be like you, like you have no worries in the world. Like, when I did test the waters for my hot girl summers, I still had to go back and take care of things back at home. So it's like... That's the waters for my hot girl summers. I still had to go back and take care of things back at home. So it's like, what glitter doesn't, is not gold. So you, me showing out for Instagram,

oh, I'm out here partying this, that, and the third, I still have a lot of the shit I have to handle. And that's what people gotta realize. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I, people can look at it and think like, oh, she's having so much fun like they broke up but look at her she out she having a great time, but you still got to go home and be by yourself and like

think about like You know, what are my next steps? What is it that I really want like? Reality sets in and it gets real Yes, and I feel like you do, like, I'm not gonna lie, I'm going through it. I went through an emotional rollercoaster. Like, I'll be outside, but then it's time to come back in, and I'm in my bed crying like, I ain't got Mrs. Like, what? You know?

I'm being honest, I was going through all that. Um... Yeah. And it's not easy, but... Just being outside is not gonna heal what you went through. Yeah. Can these eras coexist or do they clash? They definitely clash.

That's what I was saying. I was outside, woman at night, you lonely in that bed, like... Yeah. Well... ...sitting sick late at night. Yeah, I feel like, I mean, you know, I'm obviously not going through a breakup or nothing, but I feel like I still have my moments of like,

when I need healing and when I wanna be a hot girl. You know what I'm saying? Like sometimes I just want to be at home, in my backyard, in the sunlight, you know, just taking time to myself. You know, I need to just regain my energy and regain and remember like who I am because I've been out in the world so much.

And, you know, I've been focusing on other things that aren't necessarily, I would say, like who I am deep down inside, right? That when I get out and I'm, you know, going out to events, going to parties, you know, showing up to places and being around all different kinds of people and energies, it takes a lot out of you. And at the end of the day, I come home and I just feel depleted. And so after like, you know, weeks of that,

sometimes I feel like, girl, you need some healing. You need to go home. You need to go to church. You need to be around, you know, certain people who, you know, fill you back up. So, you know, right now I feel like I'm kind of in both. I feel like I can take a little bit from, you know, my healing era and my hot girl era and right now that's all I've been needing. One minute I need a little this and need a little that and I'm good to go.

A balance. Yeah. You have a good balance. Yeah, exactly. So that's where I'm at right now. And I feel good about it. And I'm appreciative that I have, you know, the support system to be able to do that. And whenever I need to take time for myself, I can. But I think, you know, as women, we need to do both at all times. I think we need to at all times be in some kind of, do some kind of healing and we need to do something where we're just something that excites us,

something that's like, girl, spontaneous and fun and brings us back to, you know, not everything needs to be so serious and just have a good time, you know what I mean? Yeah, you see, I feel like, you know, you're gonna go through what you go through, but there's a balance for everything. Um...

You just have to be able to make sure you balance in there right. Yeah. Balance is important. I don't want to get kicked out. Phil put my ass out if I do too much hot girling. Exactly. Look, I be like, actually, make sure Phil know that we are good. I don't want you to have to say it. But shout out to Phil. Phil is a real one. We were talking about this today, like, Phil, you're going to make sure you're going to make sure you're good,

you're safe, everything, what's going on, how the surrounding is. But he going to let you have your girl time. He do, he do. Perhaps it'll be Phil. Uncle Phil. Yes. Yes. All right, so when outside isn't the answer, let's talk about the pressure to always be on in the summer.

I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like summer comes around and everybody's like, where are you traveling to? What are you going to be doing? Let's get a boat this weekend.

Let's do this this weekend. Let's go to this party. Let's go. And I just be like, whoa, like that's a lot. You know what I'm saying? That's what I was thinking. I haven't experienced that yet. Like really? I did a like for the summertime, this is gonna be my first summer that you know, that's gonna be like that. But I just like to do my own thing. I can't, I feel like it's too much with trying to keep up with everybody, trying to be on, you know, I don't like taking pictures. I don't like being out there like that. So I think it's just, this time it's going to be me.

If I want to be on, it's going to be because of me, not because of, you know, people trying to bring me out or whatever. I'm a balance it. Okay. me out or whatever. I'm gonna balance it. Too much hot girl coming for me ain't. I'm gonna fall off the map. Yeah. I can't do it. I agree. Balance is key. All right. So when do you know when it's time to pause the party for personal growth. When the money starts slowing down. Yeah.

That, that, and you see a change in you, like all the great values that you bring. You see a change in your business. You see a change in your income. You see a change in your family life. Like, that's when it's like, okay, it's time for me to focus more on my personal growth because what I'm putting my energy in is the wrong things, are in the wrong things.

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I mean, I feel like you can feel it too inside. Like if something inside of you, you start feeling different, you'd be knowing. And sometimes we ignore those feelings. And we gotta start paying attention to those because those are the things that's gonna save us every time. Like we need to listen to our gut, listen to our instinct, listen to the, you know, when we hear that, like, girl, you need to go to church. Go to church.

That's God talking to you. You know what I'm saying? We need to listen to those things. All right. So what's one thing you're doing this summer for your soul and one thing that I'm gonna do this summer for my soul. You know what? I'm gonna bring all my family together. I'm going back to Columbus

and I'm gonna bring all my family together and just celebrate and you know, you know, just have fun. Spend that time with my grandmother. She's getting older. I just want that family time, that family vibe. I was looking at old pictures and I posted a few on Twitter and I was like, I miss this time. And I just feel like just going back to the roots, spending time because I'm a family

person. I like to be around my family. I like to be around people. I just want to have that energy back. Just being able to catch up with all my cousins, my aunties, my grandmother, and just having a good time. So this summer, I plan to take a trip back home and get all the family back together and just have a good time.

Okay, relax. Maybe we'll come. And for one thing, for the vibes, I'm gonna do a trip with the girls. Myself, Chad, daughter, they still my babies and my daughters and my niece, we're gonna go to Dubai. Okay, Dubai. Yes. Y'all fancy?

Yeah, we're gonna do a little pop. That's so me. In Dubai. Okay, I love that. I love that. Well, I'm going to for myself. I kind of feel like I've already started. Like, you know, I got my chickens.

So I got 10 new little chickens, little baby chicks, and I'm getting a fabulous coop mansion built for them. And I mentioned that you're living in. Absolutely. Only the best for my babies. And I feel like this is me just getting back to who I am. You know, like I am very much like I love animals. I love being outside. I love nature.

And I feel like I've kind of gotten away from that. And, you know, I try, you know, I try to do things here and there, but I really need to put more intention into that because that's really who I am. And that's what really brings me joy and happiness and peace. So just me starting my own little, I'm not going to have no whole farm, but this is like the beginning of me getting back to who I am. So that's what I'm going gonna have no whole farm, but this is like the beginning of me getting back to who I am. So that's what I'm gonna be focusing on this summer for my soul and for the...

What else you gonna bring to the backyard, Ashley? Because I got a feeling you're gonna bring some goats or something. Yeah, yeah. They don't know it yet, but I would love to have little baby goats. I would love to get some swans. I'm gonna start there. Just goats and swans. That's like the next things on my list. Black swans. Oh, that's gonna be cute.

Yeah. Okay. So, that's for my soul and for the vibes. So, I wanna... Actually, I can't say that, because this is a surprise. But... And Fik's probably watching.

Yeah, so I got some things, you know, coming down the pipeline, some ideas that I want to do for the vibes. The vibes gonna vibe regardless. I really need to focus on the soul part and make sure I get that down first. So that's where I'm at. Okay, okay. It's storming. Here, you hit it right, girl. to focus on the soul part and make sure I get that down first. So that's where I'm at.

Okay, okay. It's storming here. You hear that, right girl? Yes, I hear it. All right. Our next topic, our next topic is we have a segment where we can get DM questions from our fans via DM. Every week we're going gonna start taking questions, via our stories.

So if you have any questions, make sure you follow us on IG, HumbleBaddies Podcast, to ask your questions. Our producers will randomly pick five questions for us to respond to, so let's get into it. Let's get into it. My name has to be first. Ashley, I'm not reading this. Can we skip past that? No.

Skip and shit. But hold on. I don't want this to die. Say it's not charging. Let me make sure I'm good. All right, I'm good. Not the camera following me. OK.

All right, I'm ready. What's the question? Sherelle, I see you are living your best life. How are you able to move on and live life? I think I answered that. I told you the people want to know. I think I answered that. I mean, I took time out to heal and focus on me, you know,

and now I'm living your best life. That part I am. It's real good too y'all. Okay. We already answered that one. Oh, okay. Oh, we did. Not a question.

But I tried the Pop Rocks and he loved it. Oh! Not the Pop Rocks. You done got the people on the Pop Rocks. You done got the people on the Pop Rocks, Jera. I'm telling you, listen, I got so many DMs saying, thank you for the Pop Rocks. Like, I'm surprised people didn't know about the Pop Rocks trick. I don't know. I don't know if I like the Pop Rocks.

The Pop Rocks... You didn't like it? Oh, it's too much going on. It was like, I have to concentrate. Like I'm not, yeah. Yeah, it was a lot. I was like, ooh, this is a lot happening. When you're a beginner, Ashley, you can't put too many. You probably put the whole pack in your mouth thinking you're fitting to do some tricks.

I shouldn't have did that. I shouldn't have did that. You can't put the whole pack. Okay. Well, nobody, it wasn't our directions on the thing. No one told me, but I'm glad it worked out for this person. They loved it. All right.

Please share with us your worst day ever. You got a worst day? I went out on a day a long time ago and the guy caught decline and he was getting sweaty. I guess he thought the money hit. This was when we was in the military where, you know, you get paid a day early. Yep. And he thought that, you know, his money hit and the money didn't hit until the next day, until midnight. And his car declined and I had to end up paying the bill. Oh no, that's embarrassing.

Hold on, this was... I hope it don't hang up. All right. Well, let's speed this thing along. All right, how about some humble baddies now? What we got to do? Let's see. This the one I.

Okay, I got it. Hey ladies, I need your unfiltered no-holds-barred advice. The title is My Girl Got a Girlfriend. What? My wife and I have been together for 13 years, solid history, love, a life built. But over the past few weeks, something felt off. I did some digging, and turns out she's been cheating.

Mm, mm, mm. That alone was enough to wreck me. But what really threw me, the person she's cheating with is a woman. When I confronted her, she didn't deny it. Instead, she hit me with the, there are things a woman can do that a man just can't. Now I'm spiraling. Do I walk away from this relationship after over a decade?

Do I try to join or open the relationship? Or do I listen to her needs and let her have a girlfriend on the side while I stay her husband? Ladies, what would you do? Be real with me. Where is he coming from? He didn't even say his name or nothing.

Listen. That's embarrassing a little bit. Like my manhood was still a little attacked. Yeah. Because it's like you not just cheating on me, you cheating on me with a lady. But he may, some men may think that's a turn on, but for you to say there's some things that you can't do that a woman can do, That means you don't want no part of me. Sir, I'm gonna need you to give her that same energy.

No, she said, she said that. She said that there are things a woman can do that a man can't. I mean, I guess the girl can get a strap on. Yeah, she's telling him that he can't, there's some things he can't do that the woman can. That is, that's telling him that he can't, there are some things he can't do that the woman can. Right. That's like, what? Yeah, no, no, no.

Because the woman, you know what's funny though, because one of my friends, she's a lesbian, she was like, baby, I can bring what your man can't bring. I come in different sizes, different colors, different shapes, I can have a hook, I can't bring. I come in different sizes, different colors, different shapes. I have a hook, I can't, I'm like. But see, I don't really get that kind of lesbianism because like, then just get a real one.

No. She be, listen, she be selling these girls dreams. She tell them what, she hit them with that line and she'd be pulling them. Girl did you take this this man's woman? My girl I ain't even gonna put her name out there but did you take this man's woman? That's crazy. I mean I don't know I don't know I would say no this is cheating is cheating whether it's a man or a woman. And I think, you know, y'all have to address that first of all.

Second of all, like you need to ask your lady, your wife, like, are you a lesbian? Have you been a lesbian this whole time? Like, is this something new? Like, I feel like that's a conversation they need to sort out because then that changes things. Because if you're not into men, then what we doing? Like, why are we to like, what? You know what I'm saying? So I feel like there's a few conversations that need to be had, but ultimately, like, she's cheating on you. And to me, that's the ultimate disrespect. That's the ultimate, like that's the ultimate like,

you know, I just think that cheating is cheating. Whether it's, it doesn't make it less cheating because it's with another woman. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I definitely think that she's over the relationship from what she's saying to him or she's taking him for granted and he just needs to, you know, be a man sounds like, you know, she don't even respect him as a man anymore to even say those things, to even step out like that.

So he need to file for a divorce and teach her a lesson and get someone that can appreciate what he bring and what he do in bed. Yeah. I agree. Well, I hope we answered that question for him because he don't need to go ask nobody else this. Don't tell nobody else. Don't go tell your best friend. Don't tell nobody. This is...

Yeah. ...anonymous, sir. Then go get that divorce. Exactly. Yeah. Expeditionally. Absolutely. All right, do we have time for one more? Yes, we got time for one more. Okay.

Let's see. Dear humble baddies, I've been absolutely loving your podcast and your unapologetic real talk approach to relationships. So let's dive into something that's often gets brushed under the rug. Open relationships. I've been with my man for a few years and neither of us is interested in a marriage for many reasons. I love him, but I have outgrown him.

I need different things from our relationship, but he is not stepping up to the plate. I don't want to end our relationship, but I have some but I have been considering Asking him about having an open relationship so that I can still get those things that I don't get from him and Maintain our relationship as well. I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject She's now like she wants polyamorous type relationship. I Mean, I can't take it either, too. I think, you know, it's cool that she's... seems like she knows what she wants.

Because I feel like a lot of women don't know what they want. It's like, they know they want to be in a relationship, or they know they want to be married. But what are the things, you know, like, what are the specifics that you want? And it sounds like she knows, and the person that she's with don't got those things, but she cares for him a lot. So I feel like at least she knows that this person isn't giving her what she wants.

And it doesn't sound like she wants to settle. And I think she's open to sharing her thoughts about that with him, which I think is awesome. Yeah. she's open to sharing her thoughts about that with him, which I think is awesome. Yeah, if that person don't seem like the person that would be open to having a conversation like that, then I don't even think you should go there with them. I think you should just let them go. Because that might break them. They might think you're their world. They might think that you think that they're your world too. And so I feel like that conversation could go really bad really quick so, you know, you know, you know your partner and you know what they're open to talking about and

How open-minded they are if they're open-minded and I would say have the conversation, but if not just let that man go Just let that man go. Just let that man go. I feel like she's been, I respect her for coming to him before venturing out and having a conversation, but it sounds like she wants her cake and eat it too. And present it to him. If he's, if this is not what he's asking for, then you have to move on. You can't continue to play with his emotions. But be careful because that's a serious game to play with. Be careful what you ask for because when he start venturing off and doing things, are

you mentally prepared for that? Are you ready for that? To see the man that you love with another woman, loving on another woman. Maybe she wants one of those relationships where it's just her with multiple boyfriends and not him with multiples. I don't know, I never understand the rules with these open relationships.

It's not for me, I don't know. I don't know what you can and can't do. I don't know. Oh no, it's my fault. Is this gonna die? Okay. All right, I got five percent left So well Baby have the conversation now. We wish y'all the best but you cannot

Expect to do what you want to do and strangle this man along Yeah, I agree figure it out and figure it out quick Yeah, I agree figure it out and figure it out quick Well, we thank you guys so much for tuning in our girl Lexis is out we thank you guys if y'all have any questions We all have any concerns.
