Ladies Doing Stuff Podcast
Hosted by Aamber & Charlie B. · EN
Aamber and Charlie understand that adulting as millennial black women in Los Angeles is not easy. These best friends started Ladies Doing Stuff Podcast so that women can know they are not alone in their desire for perfection, or even just for survival.
After college graduation, the ladies simply picked up their high school friendship right where they left off; but they found that their adult lives were not that simple at all. Job losses, new marriages, and keeping friendships are just a few things that they learned to navigate along the way. All of this while living in Los Angeles, a city with not-so-many “angels” as it turns out.
Aamber and Charlie created Ladies Doing Stuff Podcast as a safe space to share hilarious experiences, contrasting opinions, and to create a proudly imperfect community for women of color.

Transcribe →That's what he said, now here's the TRUTH
Feb 1, 202401:03:01Tap to summarizeThey say us Ladies are complex, emotional, and hard to figure out...but are we thoooooough? On more than one occasion, Cheram and Aamber have put in overtime trying to figure out what men ACTUALLY mean when they say things. When he says, "I ain't trippin" after you talk to his friend a little too long. Or when you're not dating exclusively and he says, "I'm cool it." Is he? What does he really mean? We brought in some men that are experts at being men to find out 😂 Welcome Oguike @uncleguike and Kennedy @Kingkennedyhart to the studio to drop some XY chromosome knowledge for the Ladies!

Transcribe →No Good Men Out There
Jul 11, 202300:53:34Tap to summarizeThe Ladies wanna know if there’s any good men left because our track record - more specifically Cheram’s track record - has yielded negative returns on investments when it comes to trying to find a partner.That means something is wrong with the world, right? There’s just a bunch of unloved and unhealed men who don’t know what it means to love anyone outside of themselves right? Or what if we were the problem? Aamber and Cheram chat about the possibility that maybe we’re actually the problem when it comes to these unfruitful relationships. What if we’re choosing our partners based on the unhealed parts of ourselves? What would happen if we decided to spend our time with those who were more aligned with our goals? What do we need to do to protect our energy while dating but not lose faith in the process? Follow us on IG, Threads, and TikTok: @ladiesdoingstuff
Transcribe →30 Something, No Kids, No Marriage
Jun 23, 202300:50:43Tap to summarize"I don't know if you know this about us, but we're 30 something..." What's the difference between being in your 20s and being in your 30s? Low back pain out of nowhere and a good amount of life lessons, that's what. Cheram and Aamber look back at their 20-ish year old selves and ask "how were you feeling then versus now?" We've discovered a lot about ourselves: what we thought was important back then no longer is a priority, and how the decisions we made at 20 something affected us (for better or for worse) now in our 30s. Listen to BFFs Cheram and Aamber as they take you back into time, re-living beautiful and sometimes painful memories that shaped them into the women they are today.
