Welcome back to another episode! In this week’s Hot Topics. In this reflective episode, we delve into some deeply personal and thought-provoking topics. We start with Ananda Lewis's heartbreaking revelation about her stage 4 cancer diagnosis, discussing the importance of health awareness and the realities of homeopathic medicine. Gabrielle Union's recent insights lead us into a conversation about how priorities and responsibilities shift in our 20s to our 30s—are we where we thought we'd be, and how have our expectations of love evolved? We also get candid about the things we're doing differently in our 30s and whether this decade is living up to what we imagined. Later, we dive into a complex conversation sparked by Ari and Tuscon about the dynamics of hiring a friend. What are the rules? Do you pay them more or less? How do you handle it if they're not performing well? And in the end, does either party owe the other—be it opportunities or loyalty? Tune in for a raw and honest exploration of life's transitions and the messy, beautiful reality of growing up. Olodo of the week goes to Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena for their coparenting tactics .
