When NBA player Anthony Edwards made headlines for paying his child support in one lump sum, it sparked a nationwide debate about parental rights and responsibilities. On this episode of Girl Please, we're joined by special guest Chuck from the Man Listen podcast to dive deep into this controversy and other relationship hot topics that have everyone talking.

Chuck doesn't hold back as he describes Edwards' decision as a "financial abortion," questioning whether the mother's actions—allegedly taking $100,000 and moving states to increase child support payments—influenced this outcome. But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when we examine the 16-year age gap between Edwards (23) and the mother (39). Would we view this situation differently if the genders were reversed? The double standard becomes impossible to ignore as we dissect how society judges older women dating younger men versus older men pursuing younger women.

From there, we explore why Chuck refuses to post about relationships on social media, diving into how the "highlight reel" of Instagram and Facebook creates false expectations and unnecessary pressure. The wine flows freely as Chuck candidly admits his trust issues, leading to a raw discussion about whether anyone can ever be trusted completely. Carmen then shares a hair-raising story about being caught in a high-speed chase because someone wasn't honest about their relationship status—a perfect example of how "situationships" can quickly become dangerous when transparency is lacking.

Whether you're navigating the complexities of modern dating, questioning societal double standards, or just want an unfiltered conversation about relationships, this episode delivers eye-opening perspectives that will have you questioning your own assumptions and maybe even your approach to honesty in relationships. So pour yourself something nice and join us for this no-holds-barred conversation about love, lies, and everything in between.

What does it truly mean to choose yourself? In this deeply moving conversation, we're joined by Dom, who takes us on his journey from feeling fundamentally disconnected from his assigned gender at age six to embracing his authentic identity as a transgender man.

The conversation flows with raw honesty as Dom reveals the internal struggle of being perceived as a girl while knowing deep inside this wasn't who he was. "I had friends and they wanted to do their makeup and they wanted to wear dresses... and I was like that's not me," Dom shares, describing the growing disconnect that intensified during puberty. His story powerfully illustrates that gender identity isn't about sexuality or preferences, but about an innate sense of self.

Dom doesn't shy away from the darker moments—including depression and suicidal thoughts—that characterized his pre-transition life. But the transformation following his decision to transition at 18 is nothing short of remarkable. "I felt more loving, I felt more hopeful about life," he explains, while Carmen, who's known Dom since birth, confirms seeing an immediate positive change in his demeanor. This before-and-after contrast provides a compelling testament to the life-changing impact of gender-affirming care and the acceptance of loved ones.

Beyond his personal story, Dom offers thoughtful wisdom for others navigating similar paths and for allies wanting to understand. He emphasizes safety first when coming out, patience with loved ones adjusting to new pronouns, and the importance of research before making permanent changes. The conversation challenges common misconceptions while remaining accessible, making complex topics relatable through personal experience rather than abstract theory.

Whether you're questioning your own gender identity, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking to better understand transgender experiences, this episode offers valuable insights delivered with warmth, humor, and unflinching authenticity. Listen to discover how choosing yourself might be the greatest gift you can give not only to yourself but to everyone around you.

What happens when three women get together to talk about life's messiest moments with total honesty? Magic.

In this unforgettable episode, hosts Jessica and Carmen welcome Jessica's best friend of over 20 years, Shannon, for a conversation that covers everything from the foundation of lasting friendship to the complexities of young motherhood and the adventure of dating in your 30s.

The chemistry between these long-time friends is immediately evident as they reminisce about their journey together – from high school days to navigating motherhood as teenagers and now finding themselves as independent women. Their friendship has weathered various life phases, with Shannon noting they can "go to church, go to the party, go to the bar, be at work, and be lit every time."

The vulnerable discussion about becoming mothers at a young age resonates deeply as they share the challenges of balancing childcare, education, and personal growth. "I still don't really know how I felt about it. I was young," Shannon admits about having her first child shortly after high school. Now a mother of four working two jobs while finishing her nursing degree, she offers a powerful perspective on perseverance.

Their candid takes on dating had us laughing and nodding in agreement. From situationships to spelling-challenged suitors, the trio doesn't hold back on what they've learned from past relationships. Shannon's declaration that she's "single and dating" leads to an exploration of what it truly means to heal versus being completely healed – a distinction that might just change how you view your own relationship journey.

Ready for some grown woman conversation that's equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and healing? Press play and join us for an hour of unfiltered realness that might just make you feel seen in ways you never expected.

Subscribe now and join the conversation – because sometimes the messiest talks lead to the clearest insights.
