In this episode, I talk about how to recognize when someone you consider a friend may be trying to use you—specifically within female friendships and social circles. This isn’t about labeling people or assuming bad intent. It’s about observing patterns of behavior over time and learning to trust what your intuition is already picking up on. I discuss common signs such as one-sided effort, transactional favors, inconsistent communication, and friendships that only activate when someone wants s...
You Can’t Fill a Black Hole — So Stop Trying In this episode, I dive into the emotional, mental, and spiritual exhaustion that comes from dealing with what I call “black holes of need”—people, workplaces, relationships, or entire systems that can never be satisfied, no matter how much you give. I open up about my own stress, my struggles with workplace hierarchy, and the pressure to accept environments that drain you. I also explore the myth of “lazy generations,” the power dynamics behind th...
In this episode, I talk about how backwards people have become — the way they think, react, and ignore what’s happening right in front of them. I came across a story about 60 trafficked children in Tampa, and it broke me. Then I looked around and realized… this kind of pain is everywhere. Homeless people on the corners, kids in broken systems, veterans sleeping on sidewalks — and somehow, people still find time to argue about politics and religion while pretending not to see what’s real. I’m ...
What’s up everybody—it’s Lois Lane Miami, and today I’m talking about why I quit chasing the influencer dream before it ever really started for me. I spent years trying to get the right lighting, angle, niche, and music—everything the experts said would get me views. But after all that effort, the platform just wasn’t pushing me out, and I had to face the truth: it wasn’t worth it. Here’s what I noticed. I saw people with thousands—even millions—of views who still couldn’t afford to fix their...
I’m Lois Lane Miami, and today I’m ripping the bandage off America’s favorite double standard: “Love thy neighbor” … as long as the neighbor doesn’t need a visa stamp. I’ve sat in break-rooms with folks who can barely pronounce “hello,” yet they cackle when ICE buses haul other families away. I’ve watched people whose own grandparents sneaked through Ellis Island act brand-new, bragging that their illegality is ancient history—so it somehow doesn’t count. Here’s the part no meme will tell you...
In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most personal stories of my life—the story of chasing a dream with everything I had, and still falling short. For over 20 years, I dedicated my life to music. I performed in stadiums, had songs on the radio, worked with Def Jam, wrote for Isaac Hayes’ label, got featured on Trina’s first album, and even had a shot with Sony Europe. I went from freestyle battles in Ohio to recording in studios where legends like Busta Rhymes and Lil’ Kim were just down t...
Ever been asked to train someone at work—only to find out later that they were your replacement? Yeah. That’s what I call a business okie-doke. In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I share a raw, real-life breakdown of how employers use good employees, all while plotting to replace them behind their backs. I talk about how personality differences, personal boundaries, and even having ambition can make you a target—no matter how great you are at your job. I also offer ti...
In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I dive headfirst into something that’s been bothering me for a while: why are so many people just plain mean these days? From women shoulder-checking me in public to pushy, self-entitled patients at my day job, I break down what it feels like to navigate a world where kindness is rare and attitudes are nasty. Whether it’s complexion bias, classist arrogance, or just plain emotional nastiness, I’m sharing real stories and real frustration. This i...
In this raw, unfiltered episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I dive into a controversial but all-too-familiar topic: cheating. Specifically, I unpack the myth of who’s really “winning” in a love triangle involving a man, his wife or girlfriend, and the woman he’s cheating with. So many women claim victory because “he comes home to me,” while others proudly declare “I don’t have to deal with his mess.” But the truth is, nobody’s winning but him—the one doing the lying, deceiving, and disres...
In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I’m breaking down something I learned the hard way—why you should never share your hopes and dreams with the people at your 9-to-5 job. I know it might seem harmless to talk about your goals, your side projects, or the bigger vision you have for your life—but in most work environments, that kind of transparency can do more harm than good. The reality is, when you speak openly about your dreams in places that aren’t built to support them, you ope...
In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I dive into a powerful topic: Why Society Punishes Non-Traditional People. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit into the traditional mold—whether it’s rejecting religious expectations, questioning societal norms, or living life on your own terms—then this episode is for you. I talk about what it means to be a free thinker, the pressure of conformity, and how certain traditions shape our lives—whether I embrace them or reject them. I share pers...
Today on The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I’m calling out something that’s been bothering me—people celebrating when others lose their jobs. I’ve seen it all over social media, in the comments, on the news, and it’s honestly sickening. How did we get to a place where we treat someone’s livelihood like it’s just another headline to laugh about? I talk about what this kind of mindset says about us as a society and why none of us are immune to struggle. I also share personal experiences that shaped ...
Hello everyone! This is The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, and today we’re diving into Part Two of Cheating: Who Is Really to Blame? Many women believe that when a man cheats, it’s just about sex—that the other woman is meaningless. But that’s a lie. Affairs are rarely just physical; they involve time, emotions, and connections. People love joking that side chicks only get February 15th or never get holidays, but I know firsthand that many other women get birthdays, vacations, and even family intro...
What’s up, everybody? This is Lois Lane Miami, and you’re tuned into The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast. It’s been a while, right? Today, I want to talk about something that comes up way too often: blaming another woman for your disrespectful, disloyal husband—and why that’s absolutely ridiculous. The Debate That Sparked This Episode Yesterday, I got into a bit of a back-and-forth on a Facebook post. It’s not the first time I’ve had this debate, and I doubt it’ll be the last. There was a woman calli...
Welcome to *The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast*. I’m Lois Lane Miami, the Equalizer, here to bridge the gaps in understanding between people from different walks of life. In this episode, I explore the “Poverty Mindset Disconnect,” a topic that resonates with me personally, as I’ve experienced both poverty and relative financial stability. Growing up in an African-American neighborhood, I faced many of the challenges associated with poverty: unreliable utilities, dependence on public assistance, an...
Good morning, everyone! This is Lois Lane Miami on The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, and today’s episode is one that many will find eye-opening: “1000 Ways Money Buys Happiness.” It’s a bold topic, and it’s time to dismantle the age-old notion that “money can’t buy happiness.” Ever notice that the people who say money doesn’t buy happiness are often those who’ve never truly been without it? They’ve never experienced homelessness, hunger, or the desperation that comes with lacking healthcare. Thes...
Welcome to “The Purple Koolaid Podcast,” hosted by Lois Lane Miami. Today, I discuss a topic that affects us all: “Unforgiving Perfect People.” These individuals believe they know everything and dismiss anyone who disagrees with them as ignorant or unworthy. Their unwavering belief in their infallibility and refusal to forgive others for past mistakes is a troubling phenomenon. I address this issue head-on, sharing my experiences and observations. I discuss how these “perfect” people often l...
Using the phrase "We're Grown" to Manipulate You Welcome to “The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast,” hosted by Lois Lane Miami! After a busy few weeks, I’m back to share some insights and thoughts I’ve been eager to discuss. Today’s episode focuses on the concept of “falling for the okey-doke,” exploring the tactics men use to manipulate women, and more. For those unfamiliar, my upcoming book “Falling for the Okey Doke” delves deep into the various ways both men and women can be tricked in relationsh...
This is a song I wrote and performed featuring Pit Bull the rapper back in 2003 when I was working on my then “Rap Career”. I never quite made it in the music business. But I had a lot of fun, made a little money and had the pleasure of working with many great, successful and established artists. I was even signed and paid as a writer for the late, great Isaac Hayes and went on tour with the latter version of the 2 Live Crew. During this time I was using the alias “Jill Gates” for about a ...
Welcome to “The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast,” hosted by Lois Lane Miami, also known as the Equalizer. In this episode, I discuss the controversial notion of whether women can use men solely for sex. Drawing from personal experiences and observations, I argue that it’s not possible for women to genuinely use men in this way due to inherent differences in emotions, biology, and societal conditioning. While some women may claim they use men for physical gratification, I believe their underlyi...
