ep. 18 ladies night (verzuz edition)

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to another episode of thirtyish: a podcast for adults figuring their ish out. It's been a minute but have no fear I'M BAAACCCCCKKKKK. The last episode we talked about getting grounded so I took some time off to help me recenter myself; the new year always makes me feel good and when I do my most reflecting needless to say that break away was just what the doctor ordered so I could set up my shop @bysascha.co on IG. In this episode, I had a ladies night at my house with my two best friends Bre'Ann and Dominique, not necessarily for the verzuz battle because honestly we forgot it was still coming on, however we did watch it and had a lot of shit to say. So I did what every podcast host would do...bust out the mics so we could give you our review on the Ashanti VS Keyshia Cole battle lol.

We start off on an empowering note, highlighting VP Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrahams, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and of course our FOREVER First Lady Michelle Obama...then we get into an emotionally driven discussion about the battle (I used a lot of profane language so if you have your kids around or some elders around listening they WILL talk about my mouth) as it pertained to woman settling, being dumb hoes, being a ride or die chick or the decision not to as well as the "production" value of the battle itself and Bow Wow's BITCHASSNESS.

We also reminisced on HS and college days which lead us to discuss and dissect Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan and the journey she took us on. When I tell y'all I've been playing the album nonstop...NONSTOP. We had a moment of clarity that younger women today have more women to listen to that actually teaches them how they should be treated when it comes to a relationship and what they should get out of it. During this discussion I realized I was torn on the ideology, however I do agree with choosing you when it comes down to it. We end things off with the sad truth that Insecure (my favorite show) is approaching its last season and how it makes us feel (cues violin).

I had so much fun doing this random episode and talking my shit (I feel like I haven't done it in awhile), feel free to tell me what you think of the topics and discuss your rebuttals or approval with me on Twitter, @30irty_ish using the hashtag #thirtyish. As always thank you for listening and I'll talk to y'all lattaaaaaaaa.
