It’s not just hair. Did you know, the way you care for your hair is the way you care for yourself. For many Black women, our hair is more than just hair—it’s a reflection of identity, culture, and self-love. In this powerful episode, hosts Alechia and Dani sit down with Adria Marshall, CEO and founder of the clean haircare brand EcoSlay, to unpack the complex relationship Black women have with their hair and how learning to love and nurture it can transform the way we see ourselves.

Adria shares her journey of creating EcoSlay and why using products that are safe, effective, and made with intention matters. She opens up about the emotional weight hair can carry, from societal pressures to personal insecurities, and how changing the way we talk to ourselves—and our hair—can heal more than just our strands.

Alechia and Dani also reveal their own experiences with natural hair, including the struggles, setbacks, and the patience it takes to embrace every stage of the journey. Together, they dive deep into how our inner dialogue often sabotages our self-confidence, and why it’s time to hype ourselves up with the same energy we give to our friends.

📌 Why the relationship Black women have with their hair is deeply tied to self-love

📌 How negative self-talk affects not just confidence, but hair care routines

📌 The importance of patience and grace when dealing with natural hair

📌 Tips for nurturing your hair with intention—inside and out

📌 Why hyping yourself up is just as important as the products you use

✨ Listen and be reminded: the way you care for your hair reflects the way you care for yourself.

Welcome back to TriggeredAF! In this powerful Season 12 opener, hosts Alechia and Dani get real about something we all say but rarely do: checking in on your strong friend.

This episode isn’t just talk — it’s a raw, unfiltered example of what it actually looks and sounds like to hold space for someone who seems like they’ve got it all together. Alechia and Dani open up about what’s been heavy on their hearts, the weight of being "the strong one," and how easy it is to miss the signs that someone you love might be breaking inside.

You’ll learn:

📌 How to recognize when your “strong friend” is silently struggling

📌 Practical ways to check in that feel safe, supportive, and non-invasive

📌 What NOT to say when someone finally opens up

📌 Why vulnerability between friends is a two-way street

📌 How to protect your peace while still showing up for others

This is the episode you didn’t know you needed — equal parts emotional release and masterclass in emotional intelligence.

Because being strong doesn’t mean being unbreakable. And sometimes, the strongest ones are the most overlooked.

🎧 Press play and share this with your circle — especially the ones who never ask for help.

💥 Messed up? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break down exactly how to rebuild your confidence, reclaim your life, and find redemption after failure.

In this powerful and transparent episode, we sit down with Chief Activator, international speaker, author, and Executive Director of Activate Your Life, Lucinda Cross, for an unflinching look at what true redemption means after a fall from grace.

Lucinda shares her wisdom and lived experience around how leaders — especially those in the public eye — can navigate the aftermath of mistakes without being permanently defined by them. We dive deep into the uncomfortable but necessary conversation about what it means to hold space for those who have stumbled, and how true healing and growth happen not in private isolation, but often under the very spotlight where the failure occurred.

Together, we explore:

• What authentic redemption looks like beyond performative apologies

• Why cancel culture often robs individuals of the chance to genuinely transform

• The crucial role community and compassion play in a leader’s healing journey

• How public figures can model resilience and integrity through their comeback stories

• Why embracing the full arc of failure and redemption is essential for collective growth

Lucinda challenges us to rethink how we treat fallen leaders and reminds us that no one is beyond restoration if they are willing to do the work. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in second chances — not just for others, but for themselves.
