  Your Worth Isn’t Measured by How Much You Can Sacrifice with Perle Noire 29.09.2026 1u 34min

  What happens when being strong, disciplined, and useful becomes so much a part of your identity that you no longer know how to exist without it? This week, Aisha sits down with burlesque artist and Healing Through Seduction creator Perle Noire for a deeply personal conversation about self-devotion, embodiment, self-trust, and the identities women build around sacrifice. Perle shares how her relationship with burlesque became a path back to her body after being exploited at 19—and why the work...

  You Have Permission to Quit 22.09.2026 21min

  Last night, a member of the Meanwhile, She community sent me a DM that stopped me in my tracks: “Remember how sad you were this time last year, about your last retreat?” She was right — and what a year can change. In this solo episode, I'm sharing what it looked like to burn the house down last fall — canceling my Italy retreat, ending things with a manager who had stopped believing in me, and postponing the podcast I had been dreaming about for years — and what it looked like to rebuild slow...

  You Have to Grieve Who You Were to Grow Into Who You Are with Kelly Augustine 15.09.2026 1u 37min

  There’s a version of you that has to be grieved before the next one can arrive. This week I sit down with Kelly Augustine — celebrity stylist to Danielle Brooks and Gabourey Sidibe, Contributing Editor at Marie Claire, founder of StyledbyKAB — for a conversation that starts with clothes and ends somewhere much deeper. We get into why styling is 80% psychology, the reset she needed after her divorce, what nobody tells you about meeting new moms in the middle of their body changes, how she navi...

  If You've Ever Felt It's Too Late, Listen to Patti Roberts 08.09.2026 1u 23min

  What if the best chapter of your life hasn’t even started yet?

She’s living proof that the doors don’t close when you think they do. We get into hiring her own daughter as her business partner, three marriages and the lessons she carried out of each one, why...

  If Your Life Feels Like It’s Moving Too Slowly, Listen to This 01.09.2026 14min

  If you’ve been feeling like your life or your career is moving too slowly — this one is for you. For years, I’ve been telling anyone who would listen that I’ve had “slow growth.” It was my shorthand. My peace with the process. My way of making sense of the eight years I’ve spent building this thing from the ground up. Then one comment from a longtime community member broke the mantra open. In this solo episode — released on my 37th birthday — I walk through the one line that rewired how I see...

  You Don't Know Where Your "Yes" Is Leading To with Janesha Moore 18.08.2026 1u 30min

  What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the yes you keep saying no to? This week I sit down with Janesha Moore — the Philadelphia-based creator behind The Strategic Influencer, Move Moore, and the faith-based jewelry brand The Merciful Collective. Janesha was laid off from a corporate marketing role in 2023 and used that moment to build a multi-brand business that now reaches hundreds of thousands of women. But this conversation isn't about how she built the bu...

  Never Treat a Man as a Financial Plan with Danica Nelson 11.08.2026 1u 9min

  What if rest and freedom aren't luxuries you have to earn over 40 years — but line items you can budget, plan, and take right now? This week I sit down with Danica Nelson, a Toronto-based money educator and founder of Liberty Leave, the platform teaching women how to fund career breaks and sabbaticals without going broke. Danica grew up in social community housing raised by a single mother, put herself through university debt-free, and then engineered her own six-month solo sabbatical through...

  The Six-Figure Rule That Built a 7-Figure Business with Amber Mayfield Hewett 04.08.2026 1u 28min

  What if the follower count everyone said mattered… doesn't? This week I sit down with Amber Mayfield Hewett — event producer, founder of To Be Hosted, author of Your Turn to Host, Forbes 30 Under 30, and the woman behind the New York Times–covered Central Park picnic 'To Celebrate Black Life and Leisure.' At 33, Amber is the youngest guest we've ever had on Meanwhile, She, and she's built a seven-figure event production business with clients like Pinterest, Spotify, Peloton, and Pepsi — all w...

  The Real Luxury Is Owning It, with Beverly Beal 28.07.2026 1u 15min

  What if real luxury isn’t simply being able to afford more—but owning enough of your life that no one else gets to decide what happens to it? This week I sit down with Beverly Beal, an intellectual property attorney, founder of Fine Line Non-Alcoholic Spirits and GiftBiz, and part of the family behind a growing community coffee shop in Detroit. Beverly has never been especially interested in following the timeline handed to her. Her philosophy is “delusion over doubt,” and beneath the humor a...

  The Real Privilege Wasn't Money, It Was Being Allowed to Stay Creative with Andrea Lewis 21.07.2026 1u 35min

  What if the greatest privilege you could give a child isn't opportunity — it's being allowed to stay creative? This week I sit down with actress, filmmaker, and creator Andrea Lewis — Degrassi's Hazel, the mind behind Netflix's The Black Beauty Effect, and now the creator of Glam Culture, her regional beauty docuseries. Andrea moves through the world with a rare kind of peace about her own timeline, and this conversation is a masterclass in what that actually looks like in practice. We get in...

  Landing Your Dream Career Without Code-Switching with Chee Smalls 14.07.2026 1u 40min

  How do you build the career you actually want—inside an industry that was not exactly built for you—without softening who you are to fit inside it? Chee Smalls has spent fifteen years answering that question. She is Senior Director of Product Development at Coach, a style voice, and a content creator. She is also a Harlem girl who has never—not once, not in a single meeting, not in a single boardroom—code-switched a day of her career. That refusal is the whole conversation. In this episode, w...

  Motherhood Is Harder Without Money with Tenicka Boyd 07.07.2026 1u 30min

  Tenicka Boyd was 21 years old and a new mother when she took a job working for President Obama. Nineteen years later, her daughter is a college junior living in Japan, Tenicka is a fashion voice, former ACLU staffer, and one of the most self-possessed women I've had on the couch. She is also refreshingly honest about the parts of her story most women tuck away.

  Single, Happy, and Done Waiting, with Allure’s Jessica Cruel 16.06.2026 1u 28min

  We’ve been taught that adulthood doesn’t really begin for women until we’ve found a husband and had a baby. Jessica Cruel is here to push back on that — and she has the research to back it up. This week, Aisha sits down with Jessica Cruel, Editor-in-Chief of Allure magazine and the author of the forthcoming book Single Happy Female, for an honest, layered conversation about what it actually looks like to build a full life without waiting on partnership to start living it. Jessica is clear: sh...

  Your Talent Alone Won't Get You There, with Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins 09.06.2026 1u 5min

  We're taught that if we put in the work and the talent is there, the opportunities will come. Ashley is here to tell us about the other half of that equation — the one most people aren't honest enough to name. This week, Aisha sits down with her dear friend, sorority sister, and Howard alum Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins—actress (Dear White People), former host of OWN's Trials to Triumphs, and soon-to-be author—for an honest conversation about access, the doors that opened her career, and w...

  People Are Afraid to Be Seen Trying, with Fashion Executive Tiffany Reid 12.05.2026 1u 23min

  Fashion used to be built behind the scenes. Before influencers, before front row became content, there were editors pulling all-nighters, sleeping under desks, forecasting trends, and shaping culture long before social media existed. This week, I’m joined by Tiffany Reid — fashion executive, stylist, former SVP of Fashion at Bustle Digital Group, and one of the most respected voices in fashion media. We talk about what it was really like coming up in the magazine era as Black women, the...

  What if the thing that scares you isn’t the real danger?
