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 isn’t just a vent session — it’s a reality check. People are walking around with ugly energy, rude behavior, and inflated egos with nothing to back them up. I talk about how being mean AND needy is not a flex, how people misjudge others based on surface-level nonsense, and why a smile and a little respect still go a long way.

And if you’re one of those people who thinks you’re better than someone just because of where you live, who you date, or how much money you make… this one might sting.

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 disrespecting both women. I break down how manipulation keeps women fighting each other while he reaps all the benefits, often living double lives with equal intimacy, care, and deception.

This isn’t just theory—it’s lived experience. I’ve been the wife, the side, the in-the-dark, and the hurt. I’ve seen what happens behind closed doors, and I’ve felt the heartbreak that hits so hard it knocks you to your knees. This episode is part story, part truth serum, and all fire.

If you’ve ever been in a situation where someone made you feel like you had to fight for love, compete with another woman, or question your worth because of someone else’s betrayal, this one is for you.

Because this isn’t about judging women. It’s about exposing the pattern—and the man—at the center of it all.

And no, just because he “comes home to you” doesn’t mean you’re winning.

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 open the door to judgment, envy, and even sabotage. I’ve seen it firsthand. People will smile, nod, and tell you they’re rooting for you—but behind closed doors, they’ll talk about you, doubt you, or worse, work against you. Some will even go out of their way to block your progress because they can’t handle the idea that you want more from life than they do.

This isn’t just about jealousy. It’s about mindset. When your co-workers can’t imagine more for themselves, they’ll struggle to imagine more for you. They can’t connect the dots between where you are and where you’re headed. And because they can’t see it for themselves, they’ll assume it’s impossible for you too.

In this episode, I share real experiences, raw truths, and the unfiltered perspective that you’ve come to expect from me. I talk about how your dreams can trigger people, how confidence is often mistaken for arrogance, and how some folks just want everyone around them to stay stuck so they feel better about not moving.

You’ll hear why it’s smarter to move in silence, protect your vision, and save your energy for the spaces and people that get it. Because trust me—if you’re dreaming big while working a job surrounded by small minds, you’re putting a target on your back.

So grab your drink, get comfortable, and listen in while I get personal about ambition, energy, and why the break room is the last place you should be talking about your future.

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 personal experiences, from growing up biracial in the ’70s and ’80s to navigating the expectations placed on women over 50.

I also explore how society penalizes those who don’t follow conventional paths. From marriage-based tax benefits to social exclusion, the system is designed to reward traditional lifestyles while making it harder for independent thinkers to thrive.

This is Part One of the discussion, and there’s much more to cover. Tune in to hear my candid thoughts on non-traditional living and why it often comes with unspoken consequences.

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, this conversation is for you.

Listen now and stay tuned for Part Two!

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 my perspective—like the time I was stranded in a ditch and the last person you’d expect helped me out, or how a man that most would write off because of his politics became one of my greatest mentors.

At the end of the day, we all want the same things—stability, peace, the ability to take care of our families. But somewhere along the way, we lost our ability to see each other as human. If we keep moving in this direction, it’s only going to get worse for everyone.

Let’s talk about it. And stay tuned for the next episode: Atheist and Christian Cruelty.

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 introductions. I once dated a man who flew me to meet his mother—not knowing he was engaged. Another had me staying in his house while his wife was away.

The Lies We Tell Ourselves

Wives tell themselves they’re winning because they have the ring, the house, and the status. Meanwhile, the other woman convinces herself she’s the one he truly loves. But the truth is, everyone involved is hurting.

Men don’t just call women for sex and leave. They spend time. They bond. They fall in love. And they chase these women—they are not being hunted down or seduced against their will.

Women often think men never leave their wives, but that’s false. People leave relationships all the time. Many already have their next person lined up before they walk away.

What You Need to Know

Not all men cheat, but many do. And if you think the other woman is just getting sex, you’re lying to yourself. Affairs are built on time spent, just like your relationship once was.

Ladies—stop rushing into relationships. Take your time. Get to know who a man really is before committing. And don’t sleep with someone before you fully understand what you want and what he wants.

Thank you for tuning in. Until next time, this is The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast.

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 calling other women all kinds of names—“whores,” “sluts,” “homewreckers”—blaming them for being with married men. She swore up and down that these women were chasing down men, that men only wanted sex, and that they never leave their wives for the “other woman.”

So let’s break this down, because some of y’all need to hear this.

Stay tuned for Part Two, where I’ll break down even more of this madness.

Thank you for tuning into The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast with Lois Lane Miami. See you next time!

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, and frequent moves. Despite these hardships, there were moments of joy, like when my mother managed to buy us something special, even when we had little else.

One major challenge I’ve noticed is the disconnect between those who are struggling and those offering financial advice. While financial literacy is valuable, it often doesn’t address the immediate lack of resources that makes saving or investing nearly impossible. People often assume that the poor are mismanaging their money, without understanding the reality of living with nothing to spare.

This episode challenges the idea that financial literacy alone can solve poverty. Instead, we need to think about providing people with the resources they need to improve their situations. I encourage those who want to help to dig deeper, understand the true experiences of poverty, and offer solutions that go beyond traditional advice.

My goal is to foster empathy and understanding. By sharing my experiences, I hope to help others see the world from a different perspective. Thank you for joining me. Until next time, this is Lois Lane Miami, the Equalizer, on *The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast*.
