A Lot of People Have Been Asking

How Do You Balance Being a Mom, an Athlete, a Professional, AND a Small Business Owner?

ALOPHBA welcomes Tamara (Dove) Walcott (IG: @plussize_fitqueen4.0) to talk about life, lifting, motherhood, and the balancing act that is having so many roles and goals in life!  Tamara is currently prepping for her next meet in April and is doing a GoFundMe ( gofund.me/3394a80d ) to raise money for the trip, as well as to give back to the powerlifting community.  We also chat about her business, Plus Size Fitness Queen/King apparel, and the compression leggings that will make ya man look so good you want to eat him.

How Different is Prison in Real Life Compared to Media Portrayals?

ALOPHBA welcomes Aaron King (IG: @konviktedking) to the show to talk about his experiences from his time in prison and what he's been up to since he was released. Everything from gangs, prison reform, and what S.O.S stands for in prison cuisine, listen along for some great insights on what it's actually like to go to prison.

What's it Like to be a Music Producer?

ALOPHBA chats with a true "BeatStar" himself, Samdarsh Sondh (IG: @samdarshsondhbeats), to talk about his new album Darkest Days (available on Spotify) and what it's like to get started in the industry as a producer.  We also talk IT contracting, why perfection is toxic, and the anthropological roots of metal sub-genres (yup, really).  Dakota also shares the origins of her historical beef with McChicken sandwiches.

Why Did You Get a Tummy Tuck?

We're getting real personal today. Dakota talks about her tummy tuck experience, why the fitness industry fosters pointless stigma, wound care 101, and how much life has changed since surgery. Bonus IG Q&A included too!!

Are the New Oreo Flavors Any Good?

ALOPHBA tries three Oreo flavors with Austin Zechman (IG: @the_zechman) and Abiy Ababu (IG: @abiyababu), as they discuss the perks of bargain hunting, nutrition, relationships, LinkedIn as a way to stalk your exes, and what happened on Huntington Beach... We also ask a variety of companies to sponsor ALOPHBA, none of which will likely ever do so... Unless?
