147. Nurturing a Healthy Marriage. Meg on: how she refuses to lose herself in her marriage. (Guest Meg Watt)
"I am intentional about not losing myself in my marriage." - Meg
(host) Reka, sits down with the inspiring Meg Watt to explore the dynamics of her decade-long relationship with her husband, Darrel. Through their conversation, they uncover valuable insights on building a healthy marriage, the importance of proper planning and strategy, and the need to embrace personal growth.
Meg begins by acknowledging the widespread desire many people have for the kind of fulfilling relationship she shares with Darrel. However, she highlights the unfortunate reality that most individuals fail to listen to her advice, missing out on the secrets to long-lasting-healthy love.
The journey of Meg and Darrel's relationship takes an unexpected turn early on when Darrel breaks up with Meg after two years. Meg candidly shares this experience, explaining that Darrel felt unprepared and uncertain about their future together. Reflecting on this challenging period, Meg emphasizes the significance of therapy in their reconciliation and subsequent reunion.
The podcast delves deeper into Meg's decision to give their relationship another chance despite her initial reservations about Darrell's previous breakup. Meg challenges the notion of holding onto an immature attitude and emphasizes the importance of personal growth and maturity in nurturing a strong bond.
Furthermore, Meg reveals the 'trauma plans' she and Darrel have implemented in their relationship. She sheds light on the significance of recognizing and addressing past traumas, emphasizing how this awareness contributes to a healthier and more resilient partnership.
Throughout the conversation, Meg shares her perspective on how individuals often normalize suppressing their own needs and desires, especially within the context of relationships. She encourages listeners to break free from this pattern, advocating for open communication and self-expression as essential ingredients for relationship growth.
Meg also touches upon the importance of empathy towards those who break up with us. She suggests that, that maybe these individuals (men) may have only experienced our unique type of love in their dreams and how overwhelming that can be for them. So having grace for ourselves in 'choosing wrong' and their choice to retreat is a crucial approach to our healing.

146. So are we going to date the bus driver? Commentary on Eboni K. Williams, her preference and more. (Guest: Dr. Tiyahri Wilson)
"We have to stop internalizing people’s fruit inspection of us. - Tiyahri
In this podcast episode, my guest is Dr. Tiyahri Wilson and we explore the topic of preference when it comes to dating, specifically for Black women. We start off by discussing whether Eboni K. Williams is allowed to have her own preference and if Black women are allowed to be vocal about theirs. We also touch on Eboni's comment, "If he owns the bus," and whether men were too sensitive about her preference.
Dr. Tiyahri shares a quote that encourages people to stop internalizing others' opinions of them. Myself and Tiyahri also reveal whether WE would date a bus driver and while our preference isn't exactly aligned with Eboni's, we do express our support for her answer, her reasoning and more. Then we move on to the rebuttal made by Dr. Iyanla Vanzant about the criteria used to measure men being off, which sparks a conversation about the cultural push for marriage and motherhood and how it may maintain patriarchal control and dominance.
Dr. Iyanla Vanzant said: "The standards and the criteria we use to measure men are off, for who we are as women and who they are in this society.”
The conversation then turns to the difference between "finding love" or "falling in love" versus "choosing love." This episodes ends with us discussing the idea that as long as the competition is "I'm not gonna let you out love me," the marriage will work. Overall, the episode provides thought-provoking insights on preference, love, and the societal norms that surround relationships.

145. Stop giving love with the intent to change. Plus what is the difference between falling in love and choosing love? (male perspective)(Guest Bryan Thomas)
In this episode of the podcast hosted by (Me) Reka Robinson with guest (life coach) Bryan Thomas, Bryan talks about his divorce and the lessons he learned from it. He explains why he was with her for a few years but only married for months and that when love is given with the intent to change instead of cover, problems arise. We discuss the concept "Love is meant to cover and not change, according to God." (1 Peter 4:8)
We also discuss the concept of loving blindly and how it can lead to problems. Bryan stresses the importance of finding someone who matches our values and needs. He also discusses his decision to remain single until he finds someone who matches his discipline. Bryan believes that we should stop giving potential partners the benefit of the doubt. They also talk about what marriage taught Bryan about women and himself. Finally, they delve into the difference between falling in love and choosing love.
16:47: "When love is given with the intent to change and not the intent to cover. That is where you will run into a problem. God never says that ‘love changes’ but he says ‘love covers." - Bryan
26:53: becoming the person that I’m called to become that is my responsibility, that is not the responsibility of the person I’m with. The thing that I’m asking you, is that when I make mistakes, will you hold my hand and say “I got you” as I’m elevating or are you going to push me to the side because maybe what you signed up for didn’t included the capacity to be able to handle the downside to the evolution that I’m bringing. 50:24: What did marriage teach him about women? 1:01:04: What did marriage teach him about himself? + “Falling in love vs. choosing love”.-----

144. 'They' really think that a Black women's hyper-independence is self imposed and that narrative is so tired. Plus MAFS commentary. Let's talk (Guest Tiyahri)
"Share what you want him to know and then allow him to ask the questions that go along with that." - Dr. Tiyahri Wilson. Find her here.
In this episode of the podcast hosted by (myself) Reka and mental health therapist Tiyahri, we dive deep into the societal pressure on women to measure their worth by marriage and kids (The Ashanti of it All). We discuss the harmful comments that are often directed towards unmarried women in their 40s and question why finding true love is not taught as an uncertain reality of life. We emphasize the importance of not measuring one's value by marriage and instead being careful about the way we perceive and understand this beautiful institution (around 14:46). Then of course we analyze MAFS (Married at First Sight. Season 16) couples, such as Jasmine and Airris, to understand what emotional unavailability looks like and whether the therapists on the show are ethical (around 25:50). Here is where Tiyahri defines "emotional unavailable" and we give tangible examples.
The podcast hosts also take a closer look at Kirsten and Shaq (around 44:45), discussing what it means to be extremely guarded and questioning why someone so shut down would go on a show like MAFS. They explore what "doing the work" looks like for someone who is guarded and provide advice on how to open up in a relationship. Additionally, the hosts discuss Dominique and Mackinley and analyze the way Dominique mishandled the situation (around 55:43). They question whether 25 is too young for marriage and discuss the importance of being honest about what one wants in a relationship. This podcast episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand societal pressures on women, emotional unavailability in relationships, and the intricacies of marriage.
"Ya'll really think that a Black women's hyper-independence (general speaking) is self imposed and that narrative is so tired. All these Black women are out here asking for help and expressing their needs, receiving nothing. That is what breeds hyper independence address that." - IG Streets. (around 19:14)

143. Masculine and Feminine energy is not real life. Lets talk! (Plus let's celebrate Cameo for being on the Red Table... yes that Red Table!)
The first 28 mins is my discussion with my friend Cameo King (of the Good Girl Podcast) about her experience on the Red Table (Talk).
The episode she was on is titled: How to Find and Keep a Healthy Relationship and you can listen to that here.
Then we get into the following;
28:10 When it comes to 'finding and keeping a healthy relationship' what did we learn from; Dating coach Matthew Hussey, author Stephan Labossiere, podcast host Lewis Howes and relationship advisor DeVon Franklin? 30:00 Masculine and Feminine is not real life. 31:08 Being a 1 dimensional feminine woman can be boring... here is why... 34:01 Again what is the difference between compromise and settling... I think we found our answer through Matthew Hussey. 36:54 Why is dating so fun and intentional in the beginning but 3, 6 months down the road he falls off? 39:00 I fear making the wrong decision yet again. 43:03 That masculine and feminine energy conversation puts people in boxes. 45:58 Seriously who am I dating? Ever dated a man who couldn't locate himself? 50:21 I can't heal this side of me until I get on the other side of a relationship.---

142. What is the difference between settling vs. compromising? Marriage requires personal sacrifice... but what does that mean? (Guest: Cameo King + MAFS commentary)
Lets all welcome my friend, Cameo King back to the show, you can find her here.
Jump off discussion is about "MAFS" up to episode 8. Points were made & topics were talked about;
3:11 Overall thoughts on Dominique and Mackinley for Cameo. Was Mackinley's response about never dating a Black woman a red flag? Will race play into their issues? 9:58 How I've switched from Dominique's side to now feeling sorry for Mackinley. Who is Cameo rooting for and why? Is there gaslighting going on? 13:45 Is Dominique over judging Mackinley's living situation? We assume her fear is that he is a moving target and not serious about marriage... are we correct? 16:26 If you were entering this MAFS situation do you 'slow burn' (treating it as a dating situation) or 'hard launch' (already treating it as a marriage)? 21:30 Is there a difference in his love for you if he WANTS to 'take out the trash' vs. him doing it just because you want him to? Is that part of the love languages? 24:31 How Dominique's actions are very childish and predictions. 27:48 Shaq & Kirsten is actually Cameo's favorite couple but why? 32:26 Is she crazy due to no pictures in her house? Is she really minimalist for real? 37:20 What is the difference between settling vs. compromising? Marriage requires personal sacrifice... but what does that mean? 47:33 How us believing men 'should just know' is at our detriment. We need to get better at emotionally expressing ourselves. 51:52 Predictions on Shaq & Kirsten. 53:25 Airris and Jasmine. The awkwardness & the drama. How Jasmine's attraction to Airris is blinding her. 56:22 Is Pastor Cal right, that Airris is feeling the pressure of having to have all the feelings for Jasmine because they are already married? Can he turn that around as time goes on? 01:00:00 Is Airris' cousin stepping over the line? Especially how she is treating Jasmine? 01:04:41 When we really like a guy and we are holding out hope, what is the limit? How long do we hold out hope? 1:07:14 Walking in uncertainty and being uncomfortable, as a phase, is that what we are to expect in a relationship? 1:15:00 Why I lean into the slow burn space. Why I hate words from men, especially in the beginning. (let's be clear I do want it later). 1:16:04 Our predictions on Airris and Jasmine. Will they stay married?Statistic; "Married At First Sight" Has Matched 59 Couples So Far — 15 couples are living happily ever after since the cameras stopped rolling. That's 25.4% of staying married. LESS than finding someone to marry on your own. (source)
“Marriage requires a lot of personal sacrifice” - Pastor Cal
141. How often are you trying to be someone your partner will like? Plus MAFS commentary & predictions. (Guest; Dr. Tiyahri Wilson)
Welcome to Season 3 of Single You the podcast. I started this podcast in August of 2020, thank you for every listen, every review, every DM & every share. You have helped me stay consistent.
Now let's get into the tea of S16 E5 & E6 of the reality show "Married at first sight": Marry Me in Tennessee, Nashville. What can we learn from the behaviors of these 3 couples? What behaviors do we not want to execute in our own dating lives?
Statistic; "Married At First Sight" Has Matched 59 Couples So Far — 15 couples are living happily ever after since the cameras stopped rolling. That's 25.4% of staying married. LESS than finding someone to marry on your own. (source)
Points were made;
2:56 Dominique & Mackinley. Are they really meant for each other? Red Flags we see. 4:52 How much is trying to change for someone at our detriment? 6:50 Do opposites truly attract? Is that a good or a bad thing? 11:32 How often do you try to be someone your partner will like? 14:39 Fast launch or slow burn when it comes to this show and making it to decision day. 16:52 Jasmine & Airris. Red flag that he's never been in love and he's 39? 26:10 Would Dr. T tell Jasmine to pack it up and go or wait it out?More discussion on the following;
How I see love very differently now at 39 vs. 22. What questions should we be asking about sex? Should we be that honest when it comes to our attraction to our partner? Shaquille & Kirsten. What does all that complaining mean for Shaq? Can attraction grow? Can we date someone long term we aren't attracted to? Why I no longer say "this is God" especially when it comes to men.-----
The first two seasons of “Single You” have been about the journey into a toxic, abusive relationship and the journey out and into healing. They served a specific purpose and those shows will always be there.
Now it’s time to pivot; I want to go on a journey of proving that a marriage can be healthy, people can be happy but it all depends on the truth we tell to ourselves and the work we do.
I speak to the Black woman of faith who desires to be married. Who wants to date with intention.

138. Should we be mad at God for our terrible relationship(s) or is it more about our accountability? (Guest; Claudia Noriega-Bernstein)
What about those moments we should leave but don't and why don't we? A conversation with Abundance Coach, Published Author, Creative and Art Director; Claudia Noriega-Bernstein.
Some great moments.
10:28; What do we need to unlearn "about love" from our parents? 23:58; When your "vibe" "energy" is off and your always scared is a great indicator to leave but we don't. 25:12; Other moment(s) we should leave but we don't. 32:27; How do you know if he loves you? 38:17; What is the difference between lust vs. love? 43:14; Communication is key but what does that mean? 45:10; How did religion affect the way you saw relationship negatively? 49:00; Life is about choice but should we be angry at God for those terrible relationship(s)?"I have dedicated the last twelve years of her life to empower people, especially children, and women. As a life/abundance coach, I have helped people from different backgrounds to discover and implement the full potential of their own creative powers for personal growth and self-healing.
Born in Peru; I come from a culture of taboos and beliefs that had not always empowered me to become what I believed was my calling. In the process of self-discovering, I fell in love with myself again and found my passion for helping others.
Giving back, paying forward, gratitude, and kindness are my pillars for a better world, and I credit them for inspiring my belief system and transforming my life." - Claudia

136. Mel on: Honk for Jesus (movie). Our commentary on the movie and his thoughts on loyalty from his lens of not growing up in Church.
Today's guest is Mel from the PreInternet Friend's Podcast. You can find him on IG here and his podcast here.
Flow of show;
Has anyone ever had a conversation with you about what makes a healthy relationship vs. unhealthy? Not having those conversations… Was that at your detriment? You didn’t grow up in church — so how would you feel about dating a women who felt she could change you solely by praying for you? Do you feel sorry for women like Trinity? Would you ever advise a woman to continue to stay with a man she wasn’t happy with? Who continuously embarrassed her/broke her trust? Can a man like that change solely because she wants him to? Have you ever stayed too long in a relationship— hoping she’d change? If you worked harder? If you love her harder? What should be the cut off? Back drop: loyalty is #1 on most Men’s list for a woman - what does loyalty look like to you in this situation? do you have the same expectations for yourself to her? What does loyalty look like in general and explain. How did you view relationships/love (20s) vs. how do you view relationship/love now? (35+)---

135. Did you watch Honk for Jesus yet? Cause it's almost time to discuss....
Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. is a 2022 American dark comedy-drama film written, directed, and produced by Adamma Ebo, in her feature directorial debut, and is a feature-length adaptation of Ebo's 2018 short film of the same name. Starring Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall.
This movie has SUCH A LOUD message and I want to discuss. So coming up next week, I ask my homeboy Jay... who didn't grow up in church the following;
Has anyone ever had a conversation with you about what makes a healthy relationship vs. unhealthy? Not having those conversations… Was that at your detriment?

Have you ever stayed too long in a relationship— hoping she’d change? If you worked harder? If you love her harder? What should be the cut off? When do you leave said relationship? How did you view relationships/love (20s) vs. how do you view relationship/love now? (35+)Leaving you with this scripture;
And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief (Matthew 13:58)
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. (Matthew 10:14)

134. Nikita on: Yes, single can be loud but let's discuss.... How do you manage being single? How do you manage being alone a lot?
Flow of show:
1. Yes, single can be loud but let's discuss.... How do you manage being single? How do you manage being alone a lot?
2. Question from DM.
I was sharing scenario of why I’m single to a non believing relative and some church friends … one said “opposites attract, so where your put together be prepared to fill in his gaps” while another argued “science” says that “like attracts like, so you will always pull broken brothers because your broken”- I honestly was stuck to think, this is how people see me??? Damned either way. I’m not perfect, but I surely am not broken, I’m on a journey to be better and heal to be ready and equipped in my authenticity nor will I be codependent for someone either.. have you ever been pigeon holed with these statements & how do you respond?
3. Are you 'dating' and what are you running into as of late while dating. Plus the question I've been asked by a man that I've never been asked before.
4. What do you think single women have to give up once they get married/have kids?

132. Sis, if you just ended a toxic relationship (yet again)... Do this so you can stop this cycle you keep having with men.
Excellence comes from order > which brings peace.
"In the Bible no one is called your blessing unless they have the power to produce well-being in you and are deeply connected to you in faith and social bond". - God's wisdom for navigating life by Timothy and Kathy Keller
You are going to have to decide, do you want what the word has been offering you for the rest of your life or do you want to see what Gods got for you, like for real? Not the level you're settling for cause God loves you regardless but if you want more peace, the peace that is promised from God. You have work to do.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10-29 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10Let's reverse engineer this thang and start from with in instead of outside of you. Seeking the attention of men.

Today we go deeper on what Lu'Cretia's journey has been to her beautiful awakening and self love path.
Intro 1:00: Lu'Cretia says that her Dad (more so) would tell her about the bad things that men can/will do. 3:00 Men weren't necessary and option. 4:30 Doing girlfriend things hoping he'll pick me. 6:00 I knew my value but I went about it the wrong way of tying to get a man to see it. 8:20 Having walls up to protect myself but it attracted emotionally unavailable men. 11:00 Not being able to admit "I want a man" which is causing dysfunction in your dating life. 14:16 We focus on professional development so much but don't focus on personal development 14:50 It's not bitterness, it's hopelessness. "he's not even out there". 18:10 How is Lu'Cretia dating today?... to be continued next week!

117. From back-to-back dysfunctional relationships, to my solo trip to Mexico... to finally becoming the woman I said I wanted to be! How'd I do it? (Conference)
For those of you who are just finding me and you haven't been able to hear my full story yet. Well here it is, I did this speech in 2019 at a conference called; Inspired. It was a woman empowerment event and I asked the audience full of women, who's your mirror? Society? Men? Your kids? Your parents? I challenge you to make YOU your only mirror..
The Reka I was was in 2017 and before: my issue was thinking that how men saw me (mirror) was correct. You see I thought, I couldn’t see myself and only other people could see how I was coming off. God forbid I come off as a cheater and I wasn’t.... or a 'bad' girlfriend and I wasn't. I was looking in the wrong mirror. Instead of questioning ‘why do they always think I’m in the wrong’ (projection) I always blamed me.. for them not being happy or cheating. Unfortunately, I was a target for insecure men and didn't know it. I had no idea what I was doing in these dating streets. So passed up a lot of red flags (when you know better you do better) and dating insecure men is the opposite of guarding your heart. Insecure men will do 1 of 2 things; abuse you or leave you.

If you’re new to me. Here is what you need to know… I’m REALLY good at helping women shift their mindset around being single. I also need you to know that I’m not an expert in God. I just know what I’m experiencing in my relationship with God. So I hope that this conversation I have with my friend Cameo encourages you to lean into your relationship with God. My constant goal is to figure out ways to introduce relationship with God differently to the woman of faith, who knows that the 'church' failed her... which in the end caused you to see yourself as 'less than' because you're single. To the woman who has a lot of frustration around men and dating... we have got to get away from the ways of society and religion and get into figuring out who we actually are.
00:00 I'm not here to tell you want you're doing is right or wrong. I'm just here to make you think and I pray he leads you to having a deeper relationship with God. 8:00 Do you just know Jesus? Or do you believe in Jesus? (Do you believe in Jesus vs. Do you actually BELIEVE Jesus) 14:46 Praise breaks are cute but that's not gonna heal your trauma. Correction = suppressing your trauma through praise breaks does not equate to healing. Posted by Jay Barnett. 15:14 How come we don't talk about unanswered prayers? What about the girl who was told at 12 to pray for your husband and she's 45 and still not married? 16:48 Not cultivating a relationship with God. 18:40 How we feel when people just say 'pray about it'. 21:15 Is there a such thing as unanswered prayers? 31:05 Why do we want a husband? 35:35 Do you hear God say no? What does God saying no look like to you? 50:00 Is God still good to you if you don't get the husband? 57:20 "she" said her biggest fear is that she'd be a woman who is not married and with out kids.Listen to part 2 over on The Good Girl Podcast.
What does it mean to say I want Gods will. When we say we want a husband... I bet we mean more of 'this' we're just not honest. Our thoughts on Devon Franklin & Megan GoodSingle You the Pillow Collection; Shop Here.

115. Why all the commentary on the 'Tinder-Swindler' is all about how stupid the women were and NOT about how evil the man was... (Part 2 with Skyy)
Let's talk the tinder-swindler (on Netflix)
What I wrote on Facebook....
"I wonder why all the commentary I see on the “Tinder-Swindler” is all about how stupid the girls are/were and NOT about how evil the man was? Rhetorical.
Ps. Some of you want your girls to be married so badly but give her ZERO schooling on what love actually is. She’s out here already believing at 12 that when a boy says “I love you” … he means it."
What Skyy B. wrote on Facebook...
"My thing is on most days the rhetoric is that todays women don't know how to support a man, too independent, etc. However extremely naive these women were they also believed that this man who had shown them a nice time was in danger and they tried to help. Extremely naive, foolish, etc. I realize not everyone has the same life experiences that we do that make us ultra on alert and can smell bs immediately upon arrival.
There's A LOT of women, hell even us, they may not have been swindled out of cash directly but definitely swindled out of time, love, panties, you name it for men we thought we really took real time to know!!
They definitely gotta take the L tho because I think they did it not only because they thought he had it to return but also because they wanted to be chosen by this billionaire. They fell for the dream of the lifestyle. So there's that truth too."
So let's discuss... in this episode. Reach Skyy here.

114. {Bonus} How not knowing who you are is (negatively) affecting your life… what’s on the other side of doing the work?
Listen... we get so bitter and upset about being treated poorly and we don’t realize once we stop fumbling our boundaries being treated poorly significantly minimizes.
So really what’s on the other side of doing the work?
Knowing exactly who you are Showing up as you in every room Having the audacity to believe you can get what you want. Which equals you being able to walk away from a man who isn’t right for you. The first time you feel that.Can you honestly say with a straight face that you are that woman? The woman you actually want to be, are you her?
If you're saying; I know that I need the change but I need direction on that... that's my constant prayer for direction on how to change. Then let's get you signed up for Single You Academy.

113. Skyy B.E. on: Her 7 year abstinence journey (2x) and is that the true key to cutting off dysfunctional relationship?
I speak to faith based women, especially Black women who grew up in church. So I absolutely suggest that you listen to this episode before or after this episode about abstinence.
In this episode Skyy B. (my friend and Howard sister) speaks on her journey with abstinence.... twice... 7 years... twice and how the first time didn't really change her behaviors with men or stop the frustration or pain. She explains why. On your journey think about; the woman that you want to be, how can she show up in your behaviors? We also discuss; our grandparents before us got married in their teens... do we have to? The sex shame... 'God is mad at me' because I didn't wait.... plus Valentine's has passed, did you 'slip' up? If you did... we discuss why. Reach Skyy here.

112. Ce (licensed therapist) on: How we emasculate men (yes we have work to do sis)... what is he gaining by being with you?
The continued discussion on... do men say "there are no good women out there". What is their frustration with women?
1:40 Men say "she won't let me be the man". 2:20 Explaining what emasculating him looks like. 8:42 Men are sensitive... human... 12:58 What is a husband... what do you want? 14:14 Is there a level of seeing 'where is this going' with him? Or is that wasting time... 19:00 The narcissism word... and is he truly one just because he got angry? 22:50 Not judging the situation so much. His character and your actions. 23:45 Adjusting his level of access to me (you). 26:10 Giving men grace but not to my (your) detriment anymore.Single You the Pillow Collection; Shop Here.
