    85. Embracing a Soft Life in a Hard World
    Jun 24 2025

    It’s the last episode of this season, and we’re discussing a tough question as we enter the summer months. With everything going on in the world, is a “soft life” realistic? Is it responsible? We wrestle with what it means to pursue peace and rest in a world that feels anything but soft. We explore how Black women, in particular, can give themselves permission to step back without ignoring the reality around them. Is it possible to protect your peace and still stay engaged in the world? We don’t have all the answers—but it offers a thoughtful, honest look at the balancing act.

  • 84. Alternative Relationships: Exploring Ethical Non-Monogamy

    84. Alternative Relationships: Exploring Ethical Non-Monogamy
    Jun 10 2025

    This week, Sonia and Roberta welcome Deb Dennis, an attorney and moderator the DMV chapter of Black and Poly. That’s right—we’re diving into the world of polyamory, also known as ethical non-monogamy. From the misconceptions (spoiler: it’s not all about sex!) to the relationship dynamics and emotional maturity it requires, we’re unpacking it all. Deb shares her personal journey, how she navigates her relationships, and the supportive community she found while educating herself about this lifestyle. It’s a grown conversation that just might expand how you think about love, connection, and commitment.
