In this long-awaited return to Soul Snacks, Dr. Dennis and Dr. Jaron step back behind the mic to unpack a year filled with joy, loss, miracles, culture shifts, sneaker drops, DMV rap legends, and the simple truth that sometimes… everything is a lot.
From Wale’s new album and Nike collab — “I’m glad he finally got his flowers” — to surviving near-fatal family emergencies, fatherhood transitions, career pivots, and the pressure of showing up in community while evolving personally, this episode blends transparency with humor, cultural commentary, and grounded emotional wisdom.
Jaron opens up about the near-fatal accident that changed everything, and how he balanced being a husband, new father, caregiver, and leader all at once — “everything is a lot… but we’re doing fine”. Dennis reflects on growth, stability, and why returning to this podcast “weirdly feels like home”.
If you’re navigating transition, trying to breathe while life keeps life-ing, or just need two Black men reflecting honestly on identity, culture, fatherhood, and resilience — this is your episode.
Pull up. Press play. And take a deep breath.
