Season 6 Episode 10: Spin Tha Block.
Mar 18, 202500:39:33Tap to summarizeY’all! We’ve reached the season finale, and although we were originally planning to recap episodes 9 and 9.5, daddy duties took priority. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! The ladies stepped up and created an all-new episode on the fly.For all the millennials, do you remember the big moment when Swizz Beatz and Timbaland kicked off "Versus" in 2020? We witnessed some epic moments, like the Nelly and Ashanti reunion. Who would've guessed that iconic hug would turn into a marriage and a baby? Of course, not everyone has the same experience. Take Jessica, for instance, who’s spun the block on her high school first love over and over again. (Yikes)So, what would you do if your old love pulled a Nelly? Would you follow Ashanti’s lead or avoid contact like the pandemic?As promised, here’s the link to purchase Peggy’s first (but not last) book: Affirmations: Empowering & Healing Black WomenPvolcywrites.squarespace.com Connect with us:📧 Email: uncomfortablegrowthpodcast@gmail.com📸 Instagram: @Uncomfortablegrowthpodcast📘 Facebook: Uncomfortable Growth Podcast
Transcribe →Season 6 Episode 9.5: Parenting Vs. Emotional Connection.
Mar 11, 202500:50:37Tap to summarizeAfter last week's teaser, it was only right to bring you Part 2 of this heated debate, where we all had strong (and valid) opinions, but each of us shifted the goalposts to support our own side. We've got a dad of a 5-year-old, someone who dreams of having kids, and one person who was parentified at a young age and has zero interest in having children. We even had to call in a "friend" to offer a fresh perspective.Did we find common ground? Nope.Did we yell so much that the mics started peaking? Absolutely.Were any of us right or wrong? We’ll leave that up to you to decide.Connect with us:📧 Email: uncomfortablegrowthpodcast@gmail.com📸 Instagram: @Uncomfortablegrowthpodcast📘 Facebook: Uncomfortable Growth Podcast
Transcribe →Season 6 Episode 9: The Unprecedented, Precedented!
Mar 4, 202500:36:49Tap to summarizeWhat was meant to be a heartfelt episode where we reflected on the Black history moments we've personally experienced in our lifetime quickly took an unexpected turn. What started as a celebration of powerful memories turned into an intense (and often loud) debate about whether school uniforms were removing students self-expression or help reduce distractions.Enjoy part one of two…………Connect with us:📧 Email: uncomfortablegrowthpodcast@gmail.com📸 Instagram: @Uncomfortablegrowthpodcast📘 Facebook: Uncomfortable Growth Podcast

Transcribe →Season 6 Episode 7: Hi Younger Me, Its Older You.
Feb 18, 202500:50:25Tap to summarizeIt’s easy to get caught up in the rush of life and forget to take time to reflect. Reflect on your accomplishments, your setbacks, the dreams you’ve put aside, or the ones you’ve forgotten about and need to revisit.

Would they be proud and excited, or would they see areas for growth?Podcast Segments: Dirty DM’s: Should I change my filter to Caucasian? Defend This Virgo: Joe Budden in the nude.

Transcribe →Season 6 Episode 6: You Are Turning Me Off.
Feb 4, 202500:48:40Tap to summarizeNot sure if Peggy and Jess have learned their lesson about giving Cav creative control, but here we are with another C-Mic Takeover! In Episode 6, we tackle a conversation that’s bound to spark some debate: Why are some men turned off by women who seem to have it all—her own house or apartment, a car, a great job, and a solid career? The Irony- These are the same men complaining about women who have nothing to offer and would rather depend on the men. Are men’s egos really that fragile?

Jan 21, 202500:45:34Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Peggy takes the reins to discuss the often unseen struggles behind others' success stories. It’s easy to admire someone’s achievements without truly understanding the journey it took to get there. We all have our own unique purpose, and no two paths are the same. Sometimes, the key is simply doing what makes sense for you and what’s best for your own journey.

Transcribe →Season 6 Episode 3: I Cannot Rely On A Man
Jan 7, 202500:40:40Tap to summarizeWe’ve all encountered a woman who struggles to ask for help (ahem, Jessica), but why is that? Is it rooted in past trauma? A discomfort with vulnerability?
