From "Untitled" To Fiancée (Guests: Michael Elliot & Adia May)
2w ago01:35:19Tap to summarizeMichael Elliot spent years writing some of culture’s most beloved love stories, including "Brown Sugar", "Ruth and Boaz", and "Relationship Goals". Through unforgettable scripts, romance, and emotionally rich characters, he mastered the art of portraying love on screen. But behind the scenes, there was one thing he admits he had never fully experienced for himself: a love deep enough to make him completely choose commitment. In this heartfelt episode of Dear Future Wifey Podcast, Michael and his fiancée, Adia May, share the real-life love story years in the making. Long before the proposal, there was history. Timing pulled them apart when Michael wasn’t ready to define what they had. Though their connection was real, he wasn’t prepared to put a title on it. But life has a way of revisiting unfinished chapters. Now, years later, Michael returned—not just with words, but with intention, clarity, and a ring. Together, they unpack the evolution of a man who could write romance for Hollywood yet struggled to surrender to love in real life. This episode explores timing, emotional maturity, fear of commitment, second chances, and what happens when a man finally raises the stakes for the woman he was never truly able to forget.

Passport To Purpose (Guest: Kemoy Martin)
4w ago01:22:37Tap to summarizeWhat if the journey you take to find purpose is the very path that leads you to love? In this powerful episode, Kemoy Martin shares how stepping outside of his comfort zone—and outside of his country—became the catalyst for discovering who he truly is. What started as a pursuit of purpose turned into something deeper: a revelation that love isn’t just something you find in a person, but something you uncover within yourself along the way. Through travel, risk, and radical faith, Kemoy opens up about the moments that challenged him, stretched him, and ultimately aligned his heart with both purpose and love. This conversation will make you question whether you’ve been searching in the right places—or if your next step of obedience is the very thing that will change everything. Because sometimes… your passport isn’t just stamped for travel. It’s stamped for transformation.

Stocks Don't Cuddle Back (Guest: Kelly Ohgee)
Apr 1501:38:46Tap to summarizeShe built a million-dollar empire before she could legally drink. She called the market better than traders twice her age. And she did it all while slowly losing herself in the process. For the first time ever, Kelly Ohgee sits down with us to tell the whole story. Kelly gets vulnerable about something most high-achieving women won't admit out loud — that the same energy that builds an empire can quietly destroy a relationship. She opens up about how years of operating in her masculine, staying sharp, staying strategic, and staying in control, created a dynamic in her relationship that neither of them knew how to navigate. The softness got buried. The partnership became a competition. And by the time she recognized it, the damage was already done. She shares the intimate details of that failed relationship for the very first time — what the breaking point actually looked like, what she wishes she had understood sooner about feminine energy, and why no level of financial success could fill the emotional gap she had unconsciously created. Then she takes us back to the beginning. At 19 years old, Kelly became a millionaire — built on discipline, pattern recognition, and an obsessive commitment to the craft. She reflects on what that grind cost her personally and why hitting that milestone felt nothing like she expected. And then — the signals group. Thousands of followers. Consistent wins. A community built on her calls. So why did she walk away from all of it? Kelly talks about the moment she realized that the version of herself running that group was not the woman she was trying to become — and why choosing softness over strategy was the most powerful trade she ever made. This episode is about the tension that lives inside every woman who has ever had to be strong for so long that she forgot how to simply be. Kelly didn't just learn how to make money. She learned what it costs — and what it takes to come back to yourself. Kelly Ohgee is not just a trading story. She's a return story.

Stop Playing, Marry Me (Guests: Gabriel Barr-Redmond & Adrianna Turrentine)
Apr 802:17:35Tap to summarizeYou might remember Gabriel Barr-Redmond — he's the guy who had us laughing *and* thinking when he spoofed the Dear Future Wifey podcast in a viral video that caught Laterras's attention. But a lot has changed since then. Gabriel is no longer just talking about love from the outside — he found it. And this time, he's bringing his fiancée Adrianna Turrentine to the table. In this candid and heartfelt episode, Laterras R. Whitfield and Ashley R. Whitfield sit down with Gabriel and Adrianna to hear the full story of how their love unfolded — slowly, intentionally, and beautifully. Gabriel opens up about why the journey to "yes" took time: he was still healing from a past relationship, still doing the inner work to show up as the man Adrianna deserved. He didn't rush the process, and that patience made all the difference. Adrianna shares what it was like to love someone who was still finding his footing — the moments of uncertainty, the moments of grace, and the moment she knew he was worth the wait. Together, they unpack what real courtship looks like when two people choose to move with intention over impulse. From a viral spoof to an engagement ring — this is what growth looks like. This is what love looks like when you do the work first.
