No, For Real The PodcastParent Trap (EP. 14)We’ve reached the end of season 2! On today’s season finale, we talk about being kids and believing our parents could do no wrong. As we’ve gotten older, we’ve realized that they’re just people and it’s okay to notice how we’re often different from them. Sometimes we seek validation from our parents and we can get discouraged when they don’t see things our way. We know that at the end of the day our parents want the best for us, but what’s best is different in their eyes. Whether we have differing opinions...2021-04-0252 minNo, For Real The PodcastNot Everything's Your Fight (EP. 13)We’ve had our fair share of social media debates and we see it pretty much everyday. Whether it’s defending your favourite celebrity or cancelling someone’s existence, sometimes it’s just not your fight. In this episode, we talk about the toxicity of cancel culture, entitlement, learning how to mind our business, and separating the art from the artist (or at least trying to). Speaking of artists, we also talk about who we’re listening to, old school vs. new school music, what makes a performer, and artists who deserve their flowers.

You can imagine that our thoughts are all over the place, like this episode. We talk about designer clothing, social climbing, our high school experiences, and our encounters with racism. The episode is pretty laid back so grab a snack, get comfortable, and take a break. You probably need it.

Kesiri (EP. 11)On today’s episode, we get into the mind of a guy, Kesiri, and ask all the questions that most girls would want to hear. Have you ever wondered what crushes are like for guys? Do guys date to marry? Is sex the end all be all? It was nice to hear a healthy point of view, especially compared to our past experiences (they’re a little crazy). To wrap things up, we discuss what each of us considers to be romance and whether it’s dead, or alive and well. For our sake, we hope it’s alive. Never settle f...2021-02-1952 minNo, For Real The PodcastThe World's Ending Tomorrow.. Are You Ready? Ft. Michaella Ofori (EP. 10)This episode really blessed us and we enjoyed hearing our guest, Michaella, give her profound insight. We are in no way condemning anyone during this episode, we are also guilty of some of the things we talk about. Our hope is not to scare you, but to enlighten you. On today’s episode, we discuss and dissect topics such as astrology, blasphemy, and idols. We know some people are afraid of the word Christianity, but we want to emphasize that your faith is about your personal relationship with God. We can’t tell you how to feel or dictate your...2021-02-0554 minNo, For Real The Podcast"Quit your 9-5" They Said! Ft. Hilda Oni (EP. 9)Does social media have more of an influence than we think? Like many of you, we have a love-hate relationship with social media. We love being able to connect with people, but it’s easy to compare yourself and to basically be told that you’re not good enough. Today, we talk with special guest Hilda Oni about the pressure to pursue entrepreneurship, to have a “perfect” figure, and to be a millionaire by the age of 25. Oh, and don’t forget the 9-5 slander. Have you felt this too? Well, let’s get into it.

No, For Real The PodcastI Wish My 20 Year Old Self Knew... Ft. Chattrisse (EP. 7)On our season finale, we talk with writer, performer, and all around creative Chattrisse. We’re both in our early 20s and we wanted insight from someone with a bit more experience on finding the right career for you, financial literacy, navigating dating and more. We always feel as though we have to achieve certain things by a certain age and talking with Chattrisse made us feel understood and more confident about what lies ahead. Our conversation ends with Chattrisse giving advice to her 20 year old self. We hope throughout our first season, you’ve had the chance to laug...2020-11-2700 minNo, For Real The PodcastWho's There For Us? Ft. Abbie (EP. 6)Take a look at the media, what do you notice? Who’s there? Who’s not? And why? Often times, black women are underappreciated and quite frankly attacked. Sometimes, even from our own. In this episode, we talk with special guest Abbie about what we’ve noticed and some of our experiences with colourism, self-acceptance, and more. Ever heard the phrase “you’re pretty for a darkskin girl?”, “good hair”, or ever heard a black man say “I’m getting tired of black girls?” Yeah, we have too and we’re tired. We’re aware that we couldn’t touch on all aspects of these topi...2020-11-0600 minNo, For Real The PodcastIt's Not That Serious (EP.5)It’s been awhile and we wanted to check-in with everyone and ourselves. In today’s episode, we talk about our semester so far, transitioning to online schooling, and the importance of both productivity and self-care. Although we’re still learning, we share our tips and tricks for an efficient school year. Whether it’s prayer, restricting phone time, or partaking in your favourite hobbies, all of these things can be vital when navigating through the busyness of everyday life. Basically, give yourself time to breathe. It’s okay to relax.

However, sometimes it’s hard for us to let go of what was never ours in the first place. You guessed it, we’re talking about money. As Christians, we are reminded and we owe everything to Him. In today’s episode, we discuss tithing, offering and our personal journey with tipping. We know how easy it is to be stingy with money and we wanted to share with you how we’re overcoming this. We hope we’re not alone in this because we felt ashamed recording th...2020-09-2519 minNo, For Real The PodcastQuality Over Quantity (EP. 3)On today’s more mellowed episode, we give you a glimpse into the life of two introverts. Growing up we both experienced ups and downs within friendships. To those experiencing the same thing we wanted to let you know that it’s okay to not have many friends. In fact, quality relationships are more important than the number of friends you have. We talk about outgrowing friends, friends with substance and being selective with who you give your energy to. If you ever need a listening ear, our DMs are always open.

Have you asked yourself what you’re doing wrong? It appears that in today’s world we accept the bare minimum and date aimlessly. The “talking” stage has become longer, effort is no longer required, and the “what are we” question is constantly avoided. In this episode, we discuss the importance of self love and raising the bar collectively. For those searching for a quality partner, we’re here to help you out!

Nia Lyric Symone (EP. 1)Although we had some technical difficulties recording this first episode, similarly, our first year at university didn’t go as expected either. Today’s episode features entrepreneur, and our friend, Nia Lyric Symone as we reminisce on our experience leading into and during university. We talk about anxiety, depression, trouble making friends but also overcoming these trials through self-care, time management, and strong support systems.
