  • 11: Know Your Worth: The Healing Journey Ahead
    May 6 2025
    This week on Oh Hey Best Fren, Monique and Vernika are getting real real about knowing your worth, breaking toxic patterns, and not settling for the bare minimum—whether it’s in your job, your relationship, or your own damn self-esteem. From learning how to stop selling yourself short to navigating healing after trauma, the besties dive into those honest, hard conversations that most people are too scared to say out loud. They’re giving props to the new generation for flipping the script—quitting jobs that don’t serve them, choosing purpose over paycheck, and creating their own lanes unapologetically. The convo touches on everything from financial independence to self-worth in relationships, to unlearning what womanhood “should” look like. And just when you think the episode’s winding down, a letter from a listener opens the floor for a raw talk on therapy, healing in solitude, and the growing pains that come with choosing yourself. It’s a whole word, y’all. Healing ain’t always pretty—but the freedom on the other side? So worth it. KEY POINTS - Don’t settle, know your worth - Consequences of settling like missing out on desired goals - Realizing self-worth and independence - Choosing security over happiness? - Navigating “wifehood” and own identity - The importance of not losing one's identity within a marriage - Best Friend Mail: Challenges and benefits of therapy QUOTES “If we've learned anything this season is that too many of us are out here building someone else's dream—when we don't even know what our own dream looks like.” “Go beyond comfortability to get the things that you like or the things you love.” “Words really have power on things that you want for yourself in life. You have to speak those things over your life.” “I always saw myself being successful. I always saw myself as a high earner. I always saw myself traveling the world, having my dream house, [and] my dream car.” Follow Us, Besties! IG | https://www.instagram.com/ohheybestfren/ Have something on your mind?

  • 10: The New Rules: Sex & Dating in Your 30
    Apr 29 2025
    Whew! This one is for the grown folks. In this bold, honest, and hilarious sit-down, the girls are pulling back the curtain on what sex, dating, and relationships really look like in your 30s—and spoiler alert: it’s giving clarity, confidence, and zero tolerance for nonsense. They’re unpacking everything from why the 90-day rule might be outdated, to how your expectations and non-negotiables change as you evolve. This convo dives deep into emotional maturity, communication in and out the bedroom, and why “doing the work” isn’t just therapy talk—it’s real life when you’re trying to build or maintain something meaningful. They touch on redefining intimacy, learning your needs, and owning your pleasure without shame or pressure. Whether you’re single and dating, in a situationship, or navigating something long-term, this episode will have you laughing, nodding, and maybe even rethinking your current standards. It’s grown-girl talk with heart, humor, and hella honesty—just how we like it. So light the candles, pour a lil’ something, and let’s get into it. KEY POINTS - The new rules of sex and dating in your 30s - The concept of the 90-day rule - Preference? Quality and quantity in relationships - Balance between “waiting” and “trusting” in relationships - Shifting bedroom dynamics (and preferences) - The importance of reciprocity and non-negotiable in sex - Being in 30s – societal influences and pressure - Post-intimacy behavior and hygiene - Best Friend Mail: My friend seems to be changing… QUOTES “As I get older, you just kind of like, have a standard about things. You start having a standard, and you look at people like… ‘What are we doing? Like, this has got to be intentional.” “Confidence comes with age. Now that I'm more mature and I'm in my 30s, I'm very vocal about the things that I like.” “If it's truth, it's just truth. I'm going to just speak on it, and I'm not going to try to make her feel away – but I’m going to express my concern and try to prevent her from falling or making a mistake if I can.” Follow Us, Besties!
