We take the bra off and let our hair all the way down—literally and figuratively. From laugh-out-loud salon horror stories to powerful insights about hair, confidence, and cultural connection, this episode is a love letter to Black and Brown women and the deeply emotional journey that comes with hair.

In this hilarious, heartfelt, and refreshingly real episode of Bras Off, the baddies talk everything from hot girl summers to hot mess diet stories — and how they’re finding balance in health and wellness without the crash diets and toxic hustle.

We get candid about:

• Keto journeys (and unexpected wins like regular periods!)
• Sugar addiction and cravings (is sugar really like crack?)
• The truth behind low-carb ice creams and “healthy” sweeteners
• Diet fails of our past (hello, Stackers and master cleanses 😬)
• Making peace with nutrition in our 30s and beyond
• What it’s really like to prioritize your health while juggling life, family, and careers

Plus, we welcome Dr. Marsha Haynes, founder of Ayuda Health, for a brilliant convo on chronic disease, blood sugar management, cultural health gaps, and the power of simple, sustainable wellness changes. She breaks down how her app supports people living with diabetes and other chronic conditions — all while being science-backed, lifestyle-centered, and human.
