🎙️ S2 E6: Love, Lies & Late Night Texts: The Anthony Edwards Baby Debate

🤰🏽🧠 Accountability, Consent & When One Person Says “No” to Parenthood

Let’s be real — a child should never be the consequence of miscommunication, manipulation, or silence. 🚫👶🏽

In this episode, we’re unpacking the Anthony Edwards baby drama… but with a bigger lens. 👀
What happens when one person says they don’t want kids—and the other goes forward anyway?

👤 Who’s responsible?
⚖️ Where does accountability land?
💔 And why are so many people afraid to talk about it?

This isn’t just about celebrity tea ☕
It’s about consent.
It’s about choice.
It’s about respecting someone’s boundaries.

Because saying “I’m not ready” should mean something.
And choosing parenthood alone? That choice changes everyone’s life.

Let’s talk:
🔴 Weaponized pregnancy
🗣️ Verbal vs. mutual consent
🙃 Why “just pull out” is not a plan
🔥 And how some people use parenthood as punishment

Some of y’all ain’t ready for this one… but we said what we said. 🎤

🎙️ S2 E5: How Did I Miss That? — Recognizing the Red Flags of Domestic Violence

Not all abuse leaves bruises.

This episode is about the signs we overlook.
The ones we excuse.
The ones we normalize—until they become too loud to ignore.

In S2 E5, we’re peeling back the early layers of emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse. From jealousy disguised as love, to control masked as “just being protective”—this conversation is for anyone who’s ever said:

“It wasn’t that bad.”
“At least they never hit me.”
“I thought it was love.”

This episode is for the version of you who didn’t see it coming… or saw it, and stayed anyway.

You’re not alone.
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not crazy.

💔 Let’s talk about what love shouldn’t feel like.

S2 E4: Throwback Episode: Is It Really Tricking? Featuring Lucius & Pooh

Word of the Day: “Tricking” – Take a sip every time we say it! 🍷 (You might not make it to the end!)

We had to bring this one back, because the debate still lives rent-free in your minds. Lucius and Pooh pulled up and did not hold back—and the question of the day? Is it really tricking if you got it? Or is it just part of how dating works now?

From dropping bags to paying bills to “investing in the vibe,” we broke down the blurred lines between generosity, expectations, and what people now call dating etiquette.

Lucius gave big “provider energy,” Pooh brought the realist perspective, and Jamie? Well… Jamie did what Jamie does.

Money, love, ego, and entitlement—we covered it all. And yeah, some feelings might’ve gotten bruised along the way.

Run this one back and decide for yourself: Is it love, is it lust… or is it tricking?

S2 E3: Love, Sex & Situationships – Are Modern Dating Standards Keeping People Single Longer?

Word of the Day: “Situation ship” – Take a sip every time we say it! 🍷 (You might not make it to the end!)

Dating these days feels like navigating a maze—with vibes, ghosting, and talking stages that never seem to end. On this episode of Private but Public Conversations, we’re pulling back the covers on modern love, asking: Are we keeping ourselves single by chasing vibes over values?

Why are so many people stuck in almost-relationships? Is the “perfect match” mindset making it harder to actually commit? And how do hookup culture, emotional unavailability, and endless options play into all of it?

Of course, a tipsy Jamie is in the building with his no-filter opinions, hot takes, and wild confessions you won’t want to miss.

Expect laughs, gasps, and a few “whew, that hit too close” moments as we unpack the chaos of modern dating, why situationships are trending, and what it actually takes to build something real today.

Tune in. Sip up. And let’s get uncomfortably honest.

S2 E2: Breaking the Mold – Gender Roles in Black Relationships

Word of the Day: “Expectations” – Take a sip every time you hear it! 🍷

Are traditional gender roles still relevant in modern Black relationships, or is it time to rewrite the rules? The Private but Public Conversation crew is diving into the unspoken (and sometimes controversial) expectations placed on men and women in love, marriage, and dating.

Should men always be the providers? Are women expected to be nurturers? How do shifting roles affect power dynamics in relationships? And of course, a tipsy Jamie is here to shake things up with his unfiltered take!

Expect laughter, debates, and maybe even a few ouch moments as we challenge long-held beliefs and explore what truly works for relationships today. Tune in—you won’t regret it!
