Description

We all know that being a black woman in today’s world is a challenge. We have to juggle our overworked and underpaid professional lives with the demands and expectations of our family lives, all while checking our attitudes and opinions at various doors.
Sometimes being “on” never allows us to “turn off”.
Meeting societal expectations that break through glass ceilings on a daily basis all in the name of sophistication, elevation, education and paving new paths can be EXHAUSTING. However, being what many consider as “ratchet” ….is TOO MUCH.
Our experiences, while individualized, are like no other. This is why we are.
Talk Space with Gen and Qui, is a safe space to explore the joys, frustrations, and obstacles of the modern-day black woman with notes of levity in hopes of working together to find a balance of something that falls right in the middle.
We hope you join us on this ride towards finding that harmony, all while discussing today’s hot topics…acknowledged and unspoken.
Come on in, have a seat, grab your favorite drink, and let’s chat.

Hey Talk Space Fam!! We are so glad that you have joined us for another episode. Tonight we dive into what (in our opinion) makes a relationship toxic, the work that needs to be done, and ways to get out.   It isn't the easiest topic to talk about or situation to be in but peeling back the layers and self-reflecting are the first steps to changing the narrative.  Tune in for a powerful conversation on how to recognize when it's time to walk away, and the personal growth journey that follows. Come on in, grab your favorite drink, have a seat, and let's just chat. xoxo, Gen and Qui

Faith and Burnout

Faith and Burnout

2024-02-0556:23

Hey Luvs! We are a month into the new year and for many of us, nothing has slowed down.  Sometimes being on our grind and hustling to make the life we want for ourselves and for our family leaves us feeling exhausted. That exhaustion on a continuous basis leads to burnout. Something many of us are all too familiar with.  In this episode we discuss how having faith and doing the work can carry us through or even relieve some of that burden from time to time.    Come on in, grab your favorite drink, have a seat, and let's just chat! xoxo, Gen and Qui   **Music by SouthStreet24 Media**

Office Microaggresions

Hey Luvs! Have you ever had to think to yourself...did he/she/they just say that to me while in the office/work environment? Dealing with microaggressions at work can be such a challenge. Navigating responses/reactions and ways to approach the situation at times can be the most challenging part of our day.  Tune in as we discuss what microaggressions are and as we share a few stories of how we have handled them in the past.  Come on in, grab your favorite drink, have a seat, and let's just chat.

Hey Luvs! Besides catching up from our holiday break, in this episode we begin our deep dive into a multi-part series focusing on creating healthy relationships with men that were never allowed to be boys and instead were made to be the man of the house from a very young age.  While sometimes this can present as an excellent life experience, what we are learning as adults is that there are many fundamental things that we take for granted in our understanding of how we function in relationships and our expectations of our partners.  Sometimes, the residual effects of the emotional immaturity and overall lack of community show more than some would like to admit in our partners when there were not two fully present, emotionally intelligent, and healthy parents in their lives/household.  And unfortunately, we end up bearing the burden of teaching them to be the partner that we need while almost seemingly teaching them to be adults as well.  Join us for this conversation! Come on in, grab your favorite drink, have a seat, and let's just chat!   XOXO Gen and Qui

Hey Luvs! If you tuned in last week then you know that we began a conversation circling around the disconnect between what is and is not appropriate for children (from our perspective of course).  This one took us longer than expected so we had to break it up into two parts for you.  In this part two of the episode, we reminisce on what discipline looked like in our households growing up as well as some classic sayings we heard as children over the years!

Can we have it all??

Can we have it all??

2023-10-2201:07:56

Hey luvs!   On today's episode, we dive into the stigma that we as women cannot have it all.  You already know we beg to differ.  Having it all, doesn't always mean having it all the way together all of the time.  Sometimes, things get compromised. Sometimes things get sacrificed.  But that is life, and we have the amazing ability to make it happen on our terms.  So join us for another one of our deep dive conversations! Come on in, grab your favorite drink, have a seat, and let's just chat!! XOXO, Gen & Qui
Hey Luvs! Come on in, grab your favorite drink, have a seat, and let's just chat! This week while deciding on what to talk about, we had an epiphany and decided to discuss how sometimes in our current society, there is a disconnect between what is and is not appropriate for children (from our perspective of course).  This one took us longer than expected so we had to break it up into two parts for you.  In part one we talk about the lack of an appropriate market for those children that fall into the adolescent/pre-teen age group.  Stay tuned for part two! Thank you for sticking with us and tuning in.  XOXO Gen and Qui
Hey girl hey! In this episode, we continue the conversation on effective ways to budget and save in this new year and beyond. We focus on things such as the 50/30/20 model where no more than 50% of your regular net income should go towards your reoccurring monthly expenses such as rent/mortgage/utilities/credit cards/insurance payments and regular monthly bills.  30% of your net income can be set aside for entertainment/spending purposes and 20% can go into savings and investment accounts.  We also discuss the idea of having petty cash during the week to limit how often we swipe those debit and credit cards.  Some of the other honorable mentions in this episode are cashback and savings apps such as CashApp, Dosh, Rakuten, Groupon, and Acorns. We hope you listen and enjoy. Don't forget to follow us on social media @ talkspacegennui. Like, Follow, Comment and Share! xoxo - Gen and Qui
