When 3 workouts in 24 hours isn’t the flex you think it is📚 Progress is painful—but it doesn’t have to be punishing🎭 Pep talks or battle cries? When compassion needs a little confrontation💖 Why loving hard sometimes looks like leaving folks to learn the hard wayBecause maybe moderation isn’t about less—it’s about lasting.🎁 Loved the episode?

On this day, 56 years ago, the Stonewall Inn uprising ignited a movement.Sparked by a police raid and fueled by decades of oppression, queer folks—many of them trans women of color—fought back and lit the fire of LGBTQ+ resistance that still burns today. In honor of that courageous stand, we’re releasing the final two episodes of our Pride series.These stories aren’t just celebration—they’re remembrance, reflection, and a call to keep showing up. More about the Stonewall Riots. Check out the Stonewall Inn Today! Wikipedia says So… Anticipation or anxiety? Depends on the shoes you wear to the dance. 💃🏽🟣 In this whimsical, wise finale, James gives us a front-row seat to the emotional seesaw of waiting—where one side says “what if” and the other says “let’s go!” From feathered metaphors (yes, again) to bike ramps, bravery, and birds that just won’t quit, we explore the thin line between dread and dream. It’s about choosing to show up, even with shaky wings. It’s about trusting that what’s ahead could be gorgeous—not grim. Violet reminds us that worry is a pigeon, but anticipation? She’s a peacock. So fluff your feathers, pick your path, and lean into the lovely unknown. 💟🕊️🎧 Listen now and fall wildly in love with the future. 🌹🧡🟡🌳🔷🟪🤎🖤❔ ❤️🍊🟨💚💙💜🟤🖤❕❕Take care of yourself, take care of each other, and breathe! ❤️🍊🟨💚💙💜🟤🖤❕❕ 🌹🧡🟡🌳🔷🟪🤎🖤❔ Got something on your mind?

Let’s talk envy, darling—the sneaky, green-eyed gremlin who crashes our confidence parties. 💚👀 In this unflinchingly honest and unexpectedly hilarious episode, James spills the tea on those comparison traps we all fall into (even with our faves). But this isn’t about guilt - it’s about growth. Because when we lead with generosity, that envy gets tenderized into admiration, and suddenly your friend’s glow-up becomes your guidepost, not your grudge. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll probably DM a friend to say, “Hey, I see your shine.” This one’s for anyone who’s ever wished they had what someone else did—and then remembered, “Oh right, I’m a whole glitter bomb myself.” So let’s turn comparison into confetti. 🍃💫🎧 Listen now and root for your friends and yourself. 🌹🧡🟡🌳🔷🟪🤎🖤❔ ❤️🍊🟨💚💙💜🟤🖤❕❕Take care of yourself, take care of each other, and breathe! ❤️🍊🟨💚💙💜🟤🖤❕❕ 🌹🧡🟡🌳🔷🟪🤎🖤❔ Got something on your mind?

Where fantasy heals, storytelling saves, and joy conjures community In this episode of Radical Joy, James sits down with author and performer Diontey Michael to talk tall tales, fierce feelings, and the power of building magical worlds where everyone belongs. Diontey’s debut novel, Blood of the Fae, is a rich, high-fantasy adventure filled with witches, shifters, and vampires—all centered around characters of color. It’s bold, Black, and book one in a series that promises even more magic to come.Together, they explore how escapism can be healing, why representation matters in every realm (real or imagined), and how storytelling can be a form of survival. Diontey opens up about navigating depression through dance and performance—and how art became his therapy before he knew to call it that.The conversation also touches on ritual, religion, and the radical power of community care. Oh—and there’s some Beyoncé bonding you will not want to miss. Because there are no such things as coincidences. This episode is a celebration of creativity, healing, and unapologetic Black joy. Tune in and let yourself feel it.
