We Talk Back

In this episode of We Talk Back, AJ Holiday and TamBam kick things off with weekend updates, from painful periods and missed homecoming festivities to the South Carolina State Fair and Halloween plans. The ladies also react to a Milwaukee woman accused of impersonating a substitute teacher, a viral incident involving police being called on a three-year-old soccer player, concerns surrounding Keyshia Cole's recent performances and relationship, and a controversial Detroit funeral home story. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when transformation coach and alchemist Nikki Valentine joins the show to share her extraordinary near-death experience following a hit-and-run accident at 17, describing an encounter with "the void" and memories that led her to believe she had shifted timelines. Nikki dives into spirituality, manifestation, heightened intuition, and the connection between identity, energy, and personal transformation, while AJ and TamBam challenge her perspectives on near-death experiences, religion, and alternate realities. Together, they explore how nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and intentional action can influence personal growth and the ability to create change. Plus, Nikki delivers an unforgettable "dumb bitch story" about dating a man she later discovered was a major crack dealer.  Let’s discuss!

They also examine research linking supportive partners to career success and debate masculinity, dating expectations, and gender roles following Justice Smith’s comments about no longer dating women. The ladies then dive into the episode’s central debate: Should men be more generous with women, and is generosity about more than money? Exploring the spiritual connection between money, energy, giving, and receiving, AJ and TamBam challenge traditional relationship dynamics while emphasizing mutual respect, emotional investment, and financial generosity. From recognizing when a relationship becomes transactional to knowing when to walk away from resentment and disrespect, the duo delivers a candid conversation about love, boundaries, self-worth, and what it really means to show up for your partner.  Let’s discuss!

AJ Holiday and TamBam welcome Chantal Heide, known as “Canada’s Dating Coach” and author of No More Assholes, to We Talk Back for an unfiltered conversation about modern dating, relationship standards, and the importance of boundaries. Chantal breaks down her “corporate model” for intentional dating, encouraging women to date multiple people while avoiding kissing, sex, sleepovers, and exclusivity for at least three months. She explains the difference between “guys” and “men,” challenges questions about body count, and argues that rushing physical intimacy can make it harder to recognize red flags and walk away from unhealthy relationships. Drawing from 20 years as a stripper, her personal dating experiences, and the journey to meeting her husband, Chantal shares why screening potential partners matters just as much as setting boundaries. The conversation explores emotional attachment, self-worth, meditation, accountability, and choosing long-term compatibility over instant chemistry. Ultimately, AJ, TamBam, and Chantal challenge listeners to rethink their dating habits, communicate expectations early, and prioritize character, consistency, and emotional maturity when looking for lasting love.  Let’s discuss!
