Functioning… But Not Okay

Build-A-Dude Workshop

Girl… welcome to Build-A-Dude Workshop. Because at what point do we stop calling it “seeing potential” and admit we are in somebody’s emotional garage with a toolbox and prayer oil? In this episode, we’re talking about dating men that need assembling, fixing, reminding, motivating, babysitting, and a software update every two business days. Sis… are you dating a partner or secretly volunteering for a full-time renovation project? We’re unpacking emotional availability, accountability, consistency, communication, and why peace should not feel unfamiliar in a relationship. Because “potential” cannot keep paying the bills for your sanity. Funny, honest, and probably a little too real… but that’s what we do over here. Unfiltered but Still Covered. Honest conversations. Grace still applied. 💗

The Friendship Graveyard: When Ride or Dies Drift Apart

Some friendships don’t end with screaming matches, betrayal, or blocked numbers. Sometimes the phone calls just get shorter. The check-ins slow down. Life starts lifing… and one day you realize the silence got louder than the connection. In this random episode of Unfiltered but Still Covered, we’re talking about the friendship graveyard — the people who once felt like family, the memories that still make you smile, and the quiet heartbreak of outgrowing relationships without hate in your heart. Because maybe the hardest goodbyes are the ones that never officially happened. And maybe it’s okay to place flowers where the memories used to be. 🥀

Power Outage. Soul Check.

Tonight’s episode of Unfiltered but Still Covered wasn’t planned. The power went out while I was supposed to be working, and suddenly… everything got quiet. No Wi-Fi. No TV. No background noise. Just silence. And if we’re honest? A lot of us stay surrounded by noise because silence makes us face ourselves. In this episode, we talk about how we fill every moment with distractions so we don’t have to sit with our thoughts, our emotions, or even God. Somewhere between frustration and stillness, I realized maybe the outage wasn’t just inconvenience… maybe it was interruption with purpose. This conversation is real, funny, reflective, and deeply personal. Like a late-night phone call with your homegirl when life suddenly slows down and you can finally hear yourself think. Because sometimes God will turn the volume of life down… just to get your attention.

Healing changed what I’m attracted to

Some relationships felt deep because they survived a lot… not because they were healthy. In this episode of Unfiltered but Still Covered, we’re talking about trauma bonds, soul ties, emotional attachment, and why healing changes what finally feels safe, familiar, and attractive. Because baby… some of us thought we had a type.Whole time we had a trauma pattern. Honest conversations. Grace still applied.

Finally found peace

In this episode of Unfiltered but Still Covered, we’re talking about the kind of peace you can’t fake, rush, or buy. The kind that comes after heartbreak, healing, growth, parenting, surviving, praying, and learning how to finally exhale. This is for the people who have evolved through every version of themselves and can finally say: “I made it through… and I still have joy.” We’re talking about growth, getting older gracefully, letting go of chaos, choosing yourself unapologetically, and finding comfort in the life God gave you instead of constantly fighting for the next thing. This episode feels like healing. Like grandma in the kitchen peace. Like comfy clothes, soft hearts, and no longer needing to prove yourself to everybody.
