In Part 2 of my conversation with Black the Wave God, we continue exploring the layers behind the artist.This episode moves beyond music and into identity — what it means to be a family man in hip-hop, how cultural stigmas shape perception, and how environment and influence play a powerful role in who we become.We talk about: • Masculinity and accountability • The impact of family dynamics • Breaking stereotypes within hip-hop culture • Holding multiple identities at once — artist, husband, father, brotherGrowth doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s shaped by the people around us, the examples we see, and the standards we choose to rise to.If you haven’t listened to Part 1, I recommend starting there for full context.Welcome back to Prosecco Queens — where we talk about love, legacy, healing, and the real stories behind the image.— Teresa, your forever dreamerFollow Black the Wave God:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackthewavegod/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2F4XUV0xc9HGkJDqsPEL0kApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/black-thewavegod/1684574307

Part 1: Breaking the Stigma with Black the Wave GodIn this Valentine’s Day episode of Prosecco Queens, Teresa sits down with Bronx-born artist Black the Wave God for an honest conversation about masculinity, marriage, music, and mental health.There’s a long-standing stigma in hip-hop culture: you can’t be a rapper and a devoted partner. You can’t chase your dream and build a stable home. You can’t be an artist, a husband, and a father at the same time.Martin — better known as Black the Wave God — has made it his mission to prove that narrative wrong.In Part 1, we explore:• The pressure men feel in the hip-hop space to choose between ambition and family • What it really means to “love out loud” • Moving from New York to New Jersey to build a life rooted in intention • The evolution of masculinity and emotional maturity • The role mental health plays in growth as a man • Breaking generational patterns while still honoring your rootsThis conversation is layered, reflective, and grounded in real-life experience — not performance. Teresa and Martin unpack the idea that healthy masculinity is not weakness, that loyalty and ambition can coexist, and that love is not just romantic — it’s intentional.As Part 1 closes, Martin begins to speak about the subtle lessons his wife has taught him — “even about the little things” — setting the stage for a deeper dive in Part 2.If you’ve ever wondered whether you can build your dream without sacrificing your home, this conversation is for you.🎧 Part 1 streaming now ▶️ Part 2 drops in two weeksFollow Black the Wave God: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackthewavegod/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2F4XUV0xc9HGkJDqsPEL0k Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/black-thewavegod/1684574307Some conversations deserve space.We’re not rushing healing.

In this episode of Prosecco Queens Podcast, Teresa sits down with her sister Gina for a candid, unfiltered conversation about silence — how it becomes a coping mechanism, how it shows up in dating and relationships, and how it can protect us or quietly harm us depending on intention.Growing up in the same household but navigating life very differently, the sisters reflect on how silence shaped their emotional responses, communication styles, and boundaries. They talk openly about using silence in dating, learning when it becomes avoidance, and how continued healing has changed the way Teresa approaches love, parenting, and personal growth — referencing lessons from Season 4, Episode 1 and beyond.The conversation also explores parenting with emotional awareness, modeling communication for children, and learning when silence is necessary versus when it creates distance. With laughter, honesty, and a little bubbly, this episode captures the reality of evolving through different seasons of life — without pretending growth is linear or perfect.This is a real sister conversation about healing, boundaries, dating, parenting, emotional growth, and self-awareness — and the quiet lessons that stay with you long after the noise fades.

After a purposeful pause, Teresa returns to the Prosecco Queens Podcast with an honest New Year reflection on what 2025 really held — the hard moments, the quiet wins, and the growth that didn’t come with applause.In this episode, Teresa talks about navigating motherhood with a now-adult daughter at home, learning how to lead with both love and boundaries, and consciously breaking generational cycles. She reflects on dating, emotional availability, self-responsibility, and the realization that while some people may not be capable of loving us the way we deserve, we still have to take ownership of our own patterns.She also opens up about learning when silence protects peace — especially for someone whose instinct has always been to seek closure and the last word — and why that growth surprised her the most.With a grounded look at astrology, intuition, and emotional cycles (especially for Pisces), Teresa reminds listeners that while energy may be shifting as 2026 approaches, nothing changes without intention and work.This episode is about honesty, accountability, healing, and moving forward without bypassing the lessons that shaped you.Pour a glass (Teresa’s sipping on Luca Peretti Prosecco), take a breath, and reflect.Nico and Oscar Squad Gaming: https://youtube.com/@envioussquadhqgaming?si=lWKt-4vMEJofdkYy🥂 Affirmations from This EpisodeI am willing to do the work required for the life I wantI release comparison and trust my timingI honor both my struggle and my blessingsI trust myself to stay quiet when silence protects my peaceI am allowed to feel grateful and tired at the same timeNothing about me is brokenNothing about my life is wasted🎧 Stay ConnectedIf this episode resonated, please follow, share, and leave a review and at proseccoqueenspodcast.com — it truly helps this message reach more women who need it.New episodes of the Prosecco Queens Podcast drop bi-weekly.Because Teresa is still the Forever Dreamer… and so are you. 🥂
