Facts!! He is losing her & as men, we know, once you've lost your woman, she's gone!! I've lost one over my own stupidity & she was not replaceable & she would have killed for me & I fucked it up!! Every woman has a breaking point & there is no fixing it!
This was a vent session for Michi. She has a lot of underlying issues that should be addressed with her marriage. I know it’s hard to feel so unappreciated. Sharelle is definitely solid. I love how she listens, doesn’t interrupt, and empowers those around her. Like Chad said, the women are going to take over the podcast. ❤️
@@tiffanyjones8730 watching episodes that have followed, I think that’s her personality and could be why she and Brandon don’t see eye to eye. He over talks people and she has a rebuttal for damn near everything. Great people nonetheless and I applaud them for this podcast.
Yepp I’m a workaholic and my close friends are getting sick of me flaking on them. I’m either too tired from working or in the mood to just work. No in between for hangouts
@@seantorres4787 and that's a problem. Work work work work work work work is NOT balance. When one doesn't know how to relax, be still, be silent that is a problem. The battery is never recharged despite what the workaholic thinks or says
You need people like sherelle around you. Everyone needs someone to question their thoughts and not always agree with them. I like her a lot. I think being in the army has made her a mentally strong woman. Chad won for real she bout to change his life i can see it
I was so surprised by how much I warmed to her in this. You can tell she has a good head on her shoulders and adds value in the things she says. I love this podcast on the whole, special shout out to Michi, that's my babes!
Sharelle is definitely the wolf in the room with no runner ups. She doesn't fit in with the other women on the show because of it. Not to down talk the other women at all but Sharelle is far far out of their league. She needs to be in a conversation of bosses not house wives.
I have so much love for Michi in this episode. She bared her soul to us. I'm sure Brandon is great but she needs his support now and he needs to pay attention because she is on the brink of breaking apart. I love her mind and awareness and strength. She deserves TIME and his effort in helping her be the best Michi she can be for herself right now. I am praying for her. Great show, ladies.
These black women are so amazing, I love listening to them.. As a black man , I’m 26, i just want to understand women emotions, feelings , point of views and etc. This is a great show for me to get some game from. God protect these beautiful black women, every beautiful black women. I’m talking beautiful heart & soul.. God bless everyone who is watching this episode
It’s amazing that you want to learn at that age. Very commendable. Along with this great show, follow “black love” on UA-cam. It will teach you so so much about relationships, on both ends.
My mother in law worked her self to death. Couldn’t wait to retire. She was set to retire this July. Finally 65. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and within 6 weeks, she died. Paid her entire life to Uncle Sam only to die right as her time to rest was within her grasp. Don’t work yourself to death. Cut any and all toxicity from your life. Balance life & it’s inevitable stressors. Including people who rob you from happiness.. Stress kills. I can’t hate anyone for prioritizing themselves. No one else will.. 💯
I'm sorry to hear that. I agree with u 100%. And what I can't stand is when ppl try to make u feel guilty or call u lazy for resting and taking time for yourself. I'll never kill myself for a job or in general, for anyone.... Without ur health and happiness, u are nothing.
Thank you for your kind words, you are wise beyond your years to put your mental health & overall happiness as a priority, far from being lazy. It’s proactivity & you’ll thank yourself too. If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for so many who never had the chance to. 🥂
As a guy I’d never normally take time to sit back and listen to a group of women talk but damn listening to these strong amazing women has given me different types of perspective. Listening to the dudes speak is always great being a huge football fan but damn ladies yall got me wanting to see more of you beautiful smart women :)
I love Sharelle’s personality. She’s such a genuine person who’s gonna give it to you straight no chaser. She’s the friend who isn’t gonna tell you what you wanna hear.
Sharelle is solutions oriented. It’s obvious she’s self made, and has maneuvered life challenges to place herself and family on top. She’s different. Giving BIG BOSS energy.
Listening to Michi talk about her birthing experience made me cry, it hits really close to home. I have been a nurse for 20 years and I have seen situations like hers over and over. Black women have the highest maternal mortality rate in the US. It is simply because they don't listen to us and still view us as subhuman.
To me, the most infuriating part is Black medical practitioners treat Black people as bad as the non-black. Black people are not safe with the medical community, sometimes we get lucky and meet someone who cares or takes the job seriously.
@Stock Starters Taking all of your sage advice into consideration, it is a damned shame that we cannot trust Black medical staff anymore than the non-black practitioners. Michi has money and I assume good insurance, yet she was dismissed by a Black nurse. The poor and uninsured have far fewer options and practitioners know it, so they mistreat, misdiagnose, and ignore Black patients. I have been advocating for my mother's medical care since 2007, she would be deceased if I did not. If we have worked 100 Black medical professionals, 99 have been trash. I wouldn't recommend their services to anyone.
@Stock Starters When a person is ill they shouldn't have to be a PhD level scholar on their illness to get treatment. We should be able t trust the expertise of the people who went to school and residency for a decade to treat patients properly, that's not naive that's a duty of care (Hippocratic oath).
@Stock Starters 😂😂😂You are the expert in the room. Yeah, Ok. Just so we are clear, I DO NOT TRUST MOST THEM! Give advice to someone who asked for it, I got this! I gave my opinion about Black people believing they will get better care from Black practitioners which I see as a fallacy. People arrive at hospitals uneducated, mentally ill, mentally disabled, unconscious, disoriented, in pain, and many times alone. According to you they should know enough to advocate for themselves. Your theory makes perfect sense to a fool.
@Stock StartersClowns do not hurt feelings they make people laugh. I am ok with being called an "angry black woman." James Baldwin said, "To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time."
She doesn’t have children, and she’s very new to the life of being “with an athlete.” So, she lacks experience on those particular topics to even add anything of value to the conversation.
This episode was an awesome eye-opener. Fellas please do not take the homemaking skill that your wife provides for granted. This has made me raise my standard of how to respect my wifes feelings and needs.
Aww I feel like Michi has soo much going on like one day she will break down and cry. It broke my heart when she stated “I see him less after football” 🥺🥺
You can see tears in her eyes if you look closely, but she didn't let it out completely. I love how she expresses herself, hope she takes time for herself from now on ❤💯
I know this sounds easy on paper, but they seriously need to actually schedule a date into their phones, where they both show up at a designated location and sip wine, get team massages and walk barefoot hand-in-hand on a beach. Once a month. One day a month is not going to make or break B. Marshalls dream/business.
I love sharelle on the show. She is the balance needed. She is not one sided and not afraid to disagree. I love it, that’s so important when discussing these triggering topics.
I love how passionate Michi gets when talking about mental health and the fact that the ladies talked about books & therapists she referred them to shows it not all talk. Sharelle is really smart, I liked how she pushed back on Ashley about telling her man she wants to get married. There is no shame and knowing what you want and telling your man if you can't give me what I want, I'm leaving. Yes it's hard to do but I rather be alone, than taken advantage of. Asia is really sweet. I can see why Channing gushes about her all the time. And Ashley is really pretty.
Word! I like that! I can see some being put off by it though because many people expect women to cater in these moments. She’s giving empowerment. I can see Chad and her being identical in this.
Michi’s explanation of how she was treated in the hospital after she was bleeding profusely explains why black woman die from maternal deaths at alarming rates.
I love Sharelle.🤗 She had that one eyebrow up when that conversation about settling for what you truly want in a relationship came up. She was not having it. Lmbo
Ashley gave phenomenal and underrated advice! Ladies, learn to step back! He doesn’t have to parent exactly like you or even similar to you to be a great parent. His value does NOT have to look valuable to you in order for him to still possess it. That’s gold...translated by me...but GOLD nonetheless.
That’s true to an extent, because he sounds like he is very educated and makes educated decisions concerning raising his children. Some people don’t realize they lack the skill or knowledge and just go off what they think which could be harmful to the children’s well being.
@@sweetpea3249 So what constitutes a mother automatically being right about such decisions though? If a woman is in question about their partner’s (who they chose) parenting skills, then perhaps the conversation should be on another subject altogether. Just my thoughts. The points she brought up in this episode didn’t seem harmful to their child’s well-being. It appears to be more of a control factor on her part. Michi even addressed their children as ‘My child.’ There is an element in there that is dangerous and one possessed by many women. Whether that’s a cultural affect or something more-it still poses as a problem for many family units.
Sharelle is on point...the friend that tells you what you need to hear, not want you want to hear ... she was on point be selfish and make away to set aside some time for you!!!
I agree somewhat. But I also feel like she don’t get where their coming from as much cause she didn’t go through any of what they did with their husbands. She doesn’t have kids with him etc... but I definitely think moms have to be selfish sometimes. They got decades in with these men, she can’t relate. (Love your comment tho)
This channel is so refreshing, so many important topics are being discussed especially when Michi spoke about mortality rates of black women and her own experience.
I want to thank you all for being so transparent in this discussion. I want to share that my wife, who is a black physician, had an experience that was similar to Michi's while pregnant. After my wife's water broke, and this is our second child by the way, we went to the hospital. She checked to see how dilated she was before we left the house. She indicated to me that she was nearly ready; so, I put my foot to the pedal. When we got to the hospital, my wife immediately let the nurse know that she is a doctor (as she is aware of the treatment that you may get as a black person). This didn't seem to matter, as we were left in the room for at least fifteen minutes after my wife told the nurse that the baby was coming. Finally, I had to speak up and remind the nurse that my wife is a doctor and has had a child before; in other words, you should take what she is saying seriously. I didn't feel like my wife was being heard, despite screaming as if she was dying... The nurse then alerted the doctor who came quickly. By the time the doctor got there, the baby was crowning... (coming out). The baby came ( the chunky dude in the picture with me) out within two minutes of the doctor getting there... My child was healthy and my wife survived, thank God. However, the level of care was very poor and we complained afterwards. Wealth and status/position doesn't always make a difference when you are black... Obviously, we know what often happens to us when we don't have either...
Thank you for sharing and being transparent yourself! I’m sure everything was moving so quickly and you were all so shocked with all that went on. Very happy to know you made it through. Prayerfully you will never have to experience something like this again brother
I want to be Sharelle when I grow up I'm grown and stuff lol! But I love her energy I strive to be a no nonsense straightforward woman like her. She seems to stand her ground and I appreciate that.
I love Sharelle. Beautiful, ambitious, genuine...when she was talking about her struggles with PTSD, I literally FELT that in my own spirit. Looking forward to more from these outstanding women.
@@querlinestsurin i agree. Sad to see men over 35 still talking about fixing themselves instead of seeking help the right way. He should be building his legacy by now.
Just realized, Sharelle and I are similar and that she is no nonsense and honest. These traits are rare and hard to come by and I respect them from friends especially!
That's probably why they are all married and she's not. Also if she has not gone through any of these life experiences then she doesn't know what she would do. It easy to sit back and coach without actually playing in the game.
Awe man I can hear the hurt in Michi voice. B. Marsh get it together and spend time with your wife bro. Nothing is more important than your woman and family! If you nurture your woman you going to be successful. Put your foot down Michi!! You deserve that. 💁🏿♀️✨
I think it’s just more than putting your foot down. Hardworking men don’t know when enough is enough, especially when you come from a background of poverty. You feel like you need to do everything in the world to not put your family in that situation again. She needs to show him that she’s content with where they are now financially and she feels empty like she’s not getting to pursue her purpose. Also you don’t get to live the lifestyle if he’s not bringing in what he does. It’s a give and take situation that they must figure out together.
@@frankazzuri8984 exactly like she been over it is just a new born is involved now but she stabbed him in 2011 and him in intensive care and by her eyes she might be thinking to do it again lol
That's what happens when you meet a woman who had nothing going for herself. They get use to the life and money, have kids and never think about doing something until the bread winner is working his ass off to provide for family and they get jealous and want that opportunity.
I could cry for Michi....I’ve been in her shoes before, it’s very important as women that we don’t lose ourselves while caring for the people we love! I’m praying she finds the balance 💜💜
I really like Sharelle! On the kid's thing, I love how she listened, showed empathy bc she's been there, and ended her response to discuss a plan of action for solutions. She doesn't want you to feel stuck or lose your identity.
Man! Gotta love the real from SHARELLE and her voice of reason as well as her ability to tell it how it is without excuses! Great addition to the show!
@@Dira501 😒🙄 everyone has moments of desperate, and thats how I saw he life displayed. I dont know her to say what I like or dislike...you know her like that? It's great that you explained the purpose of your comment. I gave my opinion...that's it!
I despise using the word “strong” to represent our women. Yet they are, this shouldn’t be the first thing said about all the things they are capable of. The story of the “black mom experience” with doctors is REAL! I’m a man that has seen and heard of similar things happening to people I know. Accountability is hard to prove when they neglect you...
Y’all are doing something very spiritually powerful and I thank God for the insight to see it happening. PLEASE DONT STOP. I have faith that the message through these shows are gonna be received by the masses whole heartedly
Michi's story gave me chills 😥. I went through horrible treatment throughout my whole pregnancy and afterwards. Black women are treated the same way in 🇨🇦 too. By doctors, nurses, etc.
Sherell is that friend that will remind you to not forget about you. Yea you’re a mom & a wife which is great but who/what do you want outside of that. I love her ambition. Love & respect to all of the ladies.
I love Aja so much. Everyone brings something so valuable to the conversation. I’m not married or a mother lmao but I love this conversation, especially about getting counseling and going to therapy. ❤️❤️
In support of what the ladies have said, remember ladies that these men have been about themselves their entire lives. This focus is what has allowed them to become the athletes they became. This is not an excuse, just a reality. So the change in mindset will take some time and be gradual but you have to work through it with them and hold them accountable through the transition.
Emotional Intelligence is everything, it shapes a childs world and making sure my kids know that their voice and feelings matter is soooo important to me❤
Great conversation, as men sometimes we do get caught up in our own drive & determination that we forget our wife’s goals. My Wife & I had this conversation years back, I was so focused on what I was doing that I didn’t stop to think about what she wanted to do. It wasn’t necessarily intentional, I was just so focused on I am the man of the house & it is on me to make sure that my family is good! I’d get one business established & then move on to my next venture. I was so focused on building generational wealth for mine that I didn’t stop to see what my wife wanted to do. She fully supported me & I looked at I’m supporting you by just simply saying I support you, I wasn’t necessarily providing the physical, mental, or emotional support. After having a true conversation with her she gave me a true prospective & I understood where she was coming from. I had to do better & truly be there for my wife & children. Now I do so much better with this & enjoyed not only watching my wife level up in her business ventures, but also watching my children level up in their ventures @ such a young team. Now we are a power team instead of me just being the driving force.
It’s absolutely necessary for us as women/ mothers to take care of us first! If we are not well we are no goo to ourselves or our families! I loved this episode ladies!! 💚
Michi is so right about how black women get treated in health care. My wife went through similar shit when she was pregnant. I know Brandon was HOT, cause I was too. My wife and I have been together for 14yrs and I still go to her Dr. visits with her just to make sure they don’t bullshit her. They don’t give a shit about Black women.
Sharelle is absolutely right! Step up and take charge. Trust.. it’s the only way! Love her strength & go getter mentality. She’s the MVP! Ladies don’t be weak! I’m a mother of 3, it takes time but it’s a must. You are no good to your family if you are in shambles. Best thing I’ve ever done.
So I clicked on this, even though a big fan of I am Athlete, honestly wasn't expecting much from the ladies version. However I'm about 10 mins in and wow this is so powerful. I can see and hear the struggle from Michi. Not to throw rocks at Brandon but I hope he sees this because you can see she needs to him take some stuff off her plate so she can do what she needs to do. Also liking hearing from Sharelle - I'm with her on the vibe of a) you have to be a bit selfish and b) you have to JUST DO IT. Easy to make an excuse but just go for it
Sherrelle is offering solutions but Michi just wants to vent/complain which is perfectly ok but when Michi REALLY hits rock bottom she will listen to Sherrelle and take that advice.
I think Michi has had a very different exp as a football wife (10+ years) and she needed support not a "buck up" speech. Michi's feelings are very valid and a lot of women can empathize. Further she has LIDDLES and did that during the NFL and the transition out- that's strong. Sharelle is strong (admittedly due to her PTSD and not getting the help she needed when she needed it from the VA) but Michi's strength is a quiet strength and equally valid. Sharelle in a previous episode said she left her small child in the care of her grandmother to join the military and that takes strength for "the bigger goal" as she said in this episode but at some point we may have to classify Sharelle's "strength" as detachment or disassociation which is common for PTSD survivors. There's a coldness which allows for "selfishness". I would be curious Sharelle's thoughts after a few years of marriage to Ocho. I'm sure there will be venting. Grace is always in order; cute and a Gucci bag can cover alot of undiagnosed dispositions.
I think it's hard to "just do it" when you have very small children....ESPECIALLY if you don't have a village. I don't have a village my parents have passed... my husband and I never get a break together. I watch the kids for him to get time to himself and he does the same for me....It has to be a give and take. We both have careers, he wanted me to be a stay at home mom but I let him know from day 1.... that's not happening, I have dreams and goals too. Marriage and Motherhood does not mean I have to give up on my dreams
This episode gives me so much appreciation for Michi and Brandon. So much.. This episode was everything. As a non married person, we need this type of honesty and vulnerability.
Sharelle has such a great way of challenging the group to CHOOSE themselves! She’s the type of friend everyone needs!! Love it! Keep it REAL and support your friends like Sharelle!
Sharelle whew this woman is Gold! Michi resilient woman I tell you Ashley exudes an alpha Aja is just goals PERIOD! All of them tho are just Beautiful!
Michi being a mom of twins also adds another layer to the stress starting from the day they were born. I have twin little sisters and I saw their mom go through copious amounts of stress and over whelming anxiety doubled lol shit ain’t no joke
I love Sharelle’s POV. She see’s both sides and expresses her real life experiences as feedback. Everything doesn’t have to be a problem more like what’s the solution to it before I make this bigger than what it is. I love her!
Yo Family, B Marsh this is prolly my favorite episode and i watch this weekly. Since the start. As an active duty soldier for 8 years and being a black man who has been avoiding mental health. Seeing black queens be so vulnerable is truly inspiring. Keep up the good work
"Channing would have them kids in the same pair of clothes everyday" 😆 Boy i remember dem days. When my grandaddy had custody of me and my sistas and brothers he would take us school shopping and get us bout 5 pair of jeans for the week. The same exact pair. Lol. We was fresh tho literally and well fed. Thank God! Grandaddy called dem dungarees(jeans) back too fyi. 💯
There's so much to appreciate here! I'm glad you all were able to show that black women can have a conversation, and disagree respectfully. The vulnerability, the honesty and the diversity of experiences and thought... Absolutely refreshing. I can absolutely relate to the mom guilt, finding time for yourself and a husband who is not around a lot. Despite net worth and status, many relationship/mom/black female struggles are the same. I pray this continues and I pray for each of you on your respective journeys.
Another amazing show!! Ladies, we HAVE TO take care ourselves, PERIOD!! A lot of the guilt that we have as mothers and wives are self-inflicted!! We are listening to society’s standard or how mama and grandma did it! It’s unrealistic because the times have changed and so has your circumstances! WE HAVE to be good mentally, emotionally, physically, and most of all spiritually in order to support, nurture and elevate everyone else! Support has to be shown by our men not just spoken! Counseling is critical especially for the Black community!! Our DNA is embedded with trauma and we have no idea how it’s going to show up and show out!! It’s a generational stigma that we have to destroy and it has to start before we commit to relationships and bringing children into the world! Personal accountability comes first!! I say Hooah to my sisters-in- arms once again!!! That bond is a real one!! Lastly, we must realize that we are women, wives and/or mothers. Postpartum, work/home balance, depression, weight gain, low sex-drive, mom guilt, and PTSD don’t give a damn about our socio-economic status. Yes, it’s relative but, these issues hit us just the same. Queens, y’all looked beautiful as always. Continue to share resources and experiences to support one another.
I feel Mishi 100%! I feel so guilty, I feel less then when leavening for being selfish! I’m still trying to figure out how to get back to ME! I love this show because it’s giving me more perspective from women ❤️
Sharelle=Truth. I can understand what Ashley was saying about her husband's view on marriage at one point. I think that is always a conversation you should have before becoming serious and having children. I am very glad I had the conversation before my husband and I got married and we did attend counseling before marriage. Women should not be afraid to have that conversation with good men! There are amazing men out there and I would hope those good men are open to hear their significant other if they see themselves spending forever with them. If there are men who do not believe in marriage and the woman you are dating does, don't string her along. If there are women out there who believe in marriage and the man you're dating does not, don't try to change him.
I love the openness of this conversation! They’re not worried about being fake or their image...just a group of women being HONEST about how hard motherhood and marriage can be. God bless y’all for doing this!
@@JT1600_ sorry for the late reply.... these women are human and have goals & feelings too. A lot of women dreams are on hold so they can cater to their husband & family full time. These men retire and pursue other goals without thinking about their wives. It’s selfish af & hurtful to make comments about them being married to millionaires stating they should be thankful and be quiet and just focus on being a “wife”. A lot of women married to athletes are very talented and should pursue any dream of theirs with the support of their husband 100% no excuses.
Ashley. How do you know he would've proposed/married you if you had to convince, explain and council him into it? If you didn't take those measures you would've more than likely remained a girlfriend. I like Sharelle! Keeping it 💯
OKAY?! I understand what she meant by Phil not knowing the benefits/ importance of marriage, but as a tweet, I read a few weeks ago said "You can't raise someone you are dating/ in a relationship with". I do admire them going together and we don't know their full story, but the way Ashley tells it does indeed come across as convincing and she did indeed state she was willing to settle by staying his girlfriend.
@@sos12484 Right. Ashley really tried to convince Sharelle otherwise. Girl. She really raised him. He didn't have the same upbringing as her. You're absolutely correct on that one. But hey... it's working for them. They've been together for a long time.
She was very contradictory talking about her beliefs but then willing to compromise to make him happy...Sharelle was very straight forward and honest... Definitely a real friend everyone needs...
Blessing for those Men To have chosen True Queens..The Respect, Grace, Knowledge,Power That these Women Shows on this Screen Is Admirable and flat out Genius!!!👌🏿👋🏿✊🏿💪🏿
I loved Ashley and Phil on WAGS. He's so giving and supportive. He understands that the way he grew up isn't normal and encourages his wife to write their story better.
Sadly, there’s still a stigma in the black community as it relates to therapy but it’s a badge of honor in other communities. Literally, I had white girlfriends who bragged about having a therapist.
I don't think the stigma is the problem as much as cost. Black people walk around gravely ill because medical care is cost prohibitive for many. They tend to be cared for through emergency services. Furthermore, the care Black people receive is often substandard even when the providers are Black.
People really missed Michi’s point when she was expressing that Brandon isn’t as present or helpful with the home life as she wants him to be and that it’s overwhelming. Self-care can only do so much. What she was saying is she wants him to be more present. How will a girls trip help or time away help when she is coming back to him still not helping as much as she wants. The ladies immediately started talking about self-care and I felt Michi in that moment. She’s literally crying out for help from him and the advice she’s getting is be selfish and take more time for yourself. That’s not what she was saying, she was saying HOW CAN I GET HIM TO HELP MORE?!
Brandon, this is a serious call to action. Be there for your wife and prioritize the family more... she's overwhelmed, exhausted and underappreciated.
Facts!! He is losing her & as men, we know, once you've lost your woman, she's gone!!
I've lost one over my own stupidity & she was not replaceable & she would have killed for me & I fucked it up!!
Every woman has a breaking point & there is no fixing it!
This was a vent session for Michi. She has a lot of underlying issues that should be addressed with her marriage. I know it’s hard to feel so unappreciated. Sharelle is definitely solid. I love how she listens, doesn’t interrupt, and empowers those around her. Like Chad said, the women are going to take over the podcast. ❤️

I said the same, there are other issues going in with her marriage

some people’s balance is work
Yepp I’m a workaholic and my close friends are getting sick of me flaking on them. I’m either too tired from working or in the mood to just work. No in between for hangouts

Sherelle is DOPE!! I like her perspective and I think her and chad are gonna be GREAT!!!
Sharelle is definitely very transparent love her😍🥰💪🏾
Sharelle is definitely the wolf in the room with no runner ups. She doesn't fit in with the other women on the show because of it. Not to down talk the other women at all but Sharelle is far far out of their league. She needs to be in a conversation of bosses not house wives.
I have so much love for Michi in this episode. She bared her soul to us. I'm sure Brandon is great but she needs his support now and he needs to pay attention because she is on the brink of breaking apart. I love her mind and awareness and strength. She deserves TIME and his effort in helping her be the best Michi she can be for herself right now. I am praying for her. Great show, ladies.
She almost brought tears to my eyes. You said it best

Balance life & it’s inevitable stressors. Including people who rob you from happiness.. Stress kills. I can’t hate anyone for prioritizing themselves. No one else will.. 💯
I’m so sorry to hear about ur mom in law ... I agree not killing my self to die later anyway
Well said so true 👍
I'm sorry to hear that. I agree with u 100%. And what I can't stand is when ppl try to make u feel guilty or call u lazy for resting and taking time for yourself. I'll never kill myself for a job or in general, for anyone.... Without ur health and happiness, u are nothing.
@@hrh7886 this is real facts here ...... take the time out for urself ladies we deserve and need it I know I do and will continue
Thank you for your kind words, you are wise beyond your years to put your mental health & overall happiness as a priority, far from being lazy. It’s proactivity & you’ll thank yourself too. If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for so many who never had the chance to. 🥂
As a guy I’d never normally take time to sit back and listen to a group of women talk but damn listening to these strong amazing women has given me different types of perspective. Listening to the dudes speak is always great being a huge football fan but damn ladies yall got me wanting to see more of you beautiful smart women :)
Same
I appreciate this❤️
I love Sharelle’s personality. She’s such a genuine person who’s gonna give it to you straight no chaser. She’s the friend who isn’t gonna tell you what you wanna hear.
Sharelle is solutions oriented. It’s obvious she’s self made, and has maneuvered life challenges to place herself and family on top. She’s different. Giving BIG BOSS energy.
Listening to Michi talk about her birthing experience made me cry, it hits really close to home. I have been a nurse for 20 years and I have seen situations like hers over and over. Black women have the highest maternal mortality rate in the US. It is simply because they don't listen to us and still view us as subhuman.
To me, the most infuriating part is Black medical practitioners treat Black people as bad as the non-black. Black people are not safe with the medical community, sometimes we get lucky and meet someone who cares or takes the job seriously.
@Stock Starters Taking all of your sage advice into consideration, it is a damned shame that we cannot trust Black medical staff anymore than the non-black practitioners. Michi has money and I assume good insurance, yet she was dismissed by a Black nurse. The poor and uninsured have far fewer options and practitioners know it, so they mistreat, misdiagnose, and ignore Black patients. I have been advocating for my mother's medical care since 2007, she would be deceased if I did not. If we have worked 100 Black medical professionals, 99 have been trash. I wouldn't recommend their services to anyone.
@Stock Starters When a person is ill they shouldn't have to be a PhD level scholar on their illness to get treatment. We should be able t trust the expertise of the people who went to school and residency for a decade to treat patients properly, that's not naive that's a duty of care (Hippocratic oath).
@Stock Starters 😂😂😂You are the expert in the room. Yeah, Ok. Just so we are clear, I DO NOT TRUST MOST THEM! Give advice to someone who asked for it, I got this! I gave my opinion about Black people believing they will get better care from Black practitioners which I see as a fallacy. People arrive at hospitals uneducated, mentally ill, mentally disabled, unconscious, disoriented, in pain, and many times alone. According to you they should know enough to advocate for themselves. Your theory makes perfect sense to a fool.
@Stock StartersClowns do not hurt feelings they make people laugh. I am ok with being called an "angry black woman." James Baldwin said, "To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time."
I love the vulnerability of this show. That's why its so helpful to us.
yes like they dont have have sugar coat things
yes!
Yes!!!
I really love the women’s podcast! Everything the ladies talks about, I can relate to!
Totally agree with your comment
I’m Team Sharelle. Make solutions, not excuses.
She a solider literally lol she the shit
The way Sharelle think is me. I do not like people who make excuses. Do something about it🤷🏽♀️
Eh idk her relationship is kinda new so it’s easy to say things when you’re not at that point yet
@@sunnc she was a married women to a military man or was in the military so she understands on a different level.
She doesn’t have children, and she’s very new to the life of being “with an athlete.” So, she lacks experience on those particular topics to even add anything of value to the conversation.
This episode was an awesome eye-opener. Fellas please do not take the homemaking skill that your wife provides for granted. This has made me raise my standard of how to respect my wifes feelings and needs.
Aww I feel like Michi has soo much going on like one day she will break down and cry. It broke my heart when she stated “I see him less after football” 🥺🥺
She is letting it all out and it breaks my heart hearing it.😕
You can see tears in her eyes if you look closely, but she didn't let it out completely. I love how she expresses herself, hope she takes time for herself from now on ❤💯
Side chicks @ 3am
I know this sounds easy on paper, but they seriously need to actually schedule a date into their phones, where they both show up at a designated location and sip wine, get team massages and walk barefoot hand-in-hand on a beach. Once a month. One day a month is not going to make or break B. Marshalls dream/business.
She's young, things will change when she gets older, she's going to wish he stay gone once the kids get older.
I love sharelle on the show. She is the balance needed. She is not one sided and not afraid to disagree. I love it, that’s so important when discussing these triggering topics.
I love how passionate Michi gets when talking about mental health and the fact that the ladies talked about books & therapists she referred them to shows it not all talk. Sharelle is really smart, I liked how she pushed back on Ashley about telling her man she wants to get married. There is no shame and knowing what you want and telling your man if you can't give me what I want, I'm leaving. Yes it's hard to do but I rather be alone, than taken advantage of. Asia is really sweet. I can see why Channing gushes about her all the time. And Ashley is really pretty.
awww thats so sweet, I love when women uplift each other
Sharelle is tough, solid woman “Go Do It” ain’t nobody stopping you but you, make it happen
Word! I like that! I can see some being put off by it though because many people expect women to cater in these moments. She’s giving empowerment. I can see Chad and her being identical in this.
Agree 100%
Strong black woman right there 💪
@@mswestmoreland11 Chad is very strong minded as well. So it’s a good match
Period
Exactly! Bc all I hear is complaining. If u want it go for it.
Michi’s explanation of how she was treated in the hospital after she was bleeding profusely explains why black woman die from maternal deaths at alarming rates.
Happened to me & I lost the baby
@@softness1 I’m so sorry for your loss❤️ sending you love
@@ThatOGShelby Thank you🤗
@@softness1 I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
I love Sharelle.🤗 She had that one eyebrow up when that conversation about settling for what you truly want in a relationship came up. She was not having it. Lmbo
Right! I wish she could've made her point.....but it was time to eat
Ashley gave phenomenal and underrated advice! Ladies, learn to step back! He doesn’t have to parent exactly like you or even similar to you to be a great parent. His value does NOT have to look valuable to you in order for him to still possess it. That’s gold...translated by me...but GOLD nonetheless.
That’s true to an extent, because he sounds like he is very educated and makes educated decisions concerning raising his children. Some people don’t realize they lack the skill or knowledge and just go off what they think which could be harmful to the children’s well being.
@@sweetpea3249 So what constitutes a mother automatically being right about such decisions though? If a woman is in question about their partner’s (who they chose) parenting skills, then perhaps the conversation should be on another subject altogether. Just my thoughts. The points she brought up in this episode didn’t seem harmful to their child’s well-being. It appears to be more of a control factor on her part. Michi even addressed their children as ‘My child.’ There is an element in there that is dangerous and one possessed by many women. Whether that’s a cultural affect or something more-it still poses as a problem for many family units.
True...It took my husband 5yrs to get me to understand this.....
Sharelle is on point...the friend that tells you what you need to hear, not want you want to hear ... she was on point be selfish and make away to set aside some time for you!!!
I agree somewhat. But I also feel like she don’t get where their coming from as much cause she didn’t go through any of what they did with their husbands. She doesn’t have kids with him etc... but I definitely think moms have to be selfish sometimes. They got decades in with these men, she can’t relate. (Love your comment tho)
I am loving Michi's honesty. I think these ladies all add a good perspective based on their experiences. This is a good mix and a hit.
This channel is so refreshing, so many important topics are being discussed especially when Michi spoke about mortality rates of black women and her own experience.
I want to thank you all for being so transparent in this discussion. I want to share that my wife, who is a black physician, had an experience that was similar to Michi's while pregnant. After my wife's water broke, and this is our second child by the way, we went to the hospital. She checked to see how dilated she was before we left the house. She indicated to me that she was nearly ready; so, I put my foot to the pedal. When we got to the hospital, my wife immediately let the nurse know that she is a doctor (as she is aware of the treatment that you may get as a black person). This didn't seem to matter, as we were left in the room for at least fifteen minutes after my wife told the nurse that the baby was coming. Finally, I had to speak up and remind the nurse that my wife is a doctor and has had a child before; in other words, you should take what she is saying seriously. I didn't feel like my wife was being heard, despite screaming as if she was dying... The nurse then alerted the doctor who came quickly. By the time the doctor got there, the baby was crowning... (coming out). The baby came ( the chunky dude in the picture with me) out within two minutes of the doctor getting there... My child was healthy and my wife survived, thank God. However, the level of care was very poor and we complained afterwards. Wealth and status/position doesn't always make a difference when you are black... Obviously, we know what often happens to us when we don't have either...
Wow thank God for your wife 🖤🙏 I’m glad she survived it !!
Thank you for sharing and being transparent yourself! I’m sure everything was moving so quickly and you were all so shocked with all that went on. Very happy to know you made it through. Prayerfully you will never have to experience something like this again brother
Can we get a “nail cam” please?
I thought I was the only one looking at their nails 😍
Yessss I was thinking that almost all episode
Needed.
Yes please!!!!! 😍😍
Great idea ❤
I want to be Sharelle when I grow up I'm grown and stuff lol! But I love her energy I strive to be a no nonsense straightforward woman like her. She seems to stand her ground and I appreciate that.
I love Sharelle. Beautiful, ambitious, genuine...when she was talking about her struggles with PTSD, I literally FELT that in my own spirit. Looking forward to more from these outstanding women.
Wow 😳 Their listening skills are impeccable! They were so patient through her dialogues...
I peeped that. She spoke a lot...
Seeing beautiful educated black women like y’all makes me raise my standard on what type of girls I’m looking for now 😭
You should be looking for woman. Not “girls” brother.
@@SADDIQ-ALI true and he have make sure he is up to the level of the standard of women he is looking for
💯💯
@@querlinestsurin i agree. Sad to see men over 35 still talking about fixing themselves instead of seeking help the right way.
He should be building his legacy by now.
Facts‼
It’s really good to see woman coming together to discuss a deeper side of themselves and their struggles
Just realized, Sharelle and I are similar and that she is no nonsense and honest. These traits are rare and hard to come by and I respect them from friends especially!
Im the same way Sis. She all about solutions. Sometimes people want to complain but never get to the solutions
That's probably why they are all married and she's not. Also if she has not gone through any of these life experiences then she doesn't know what she would do. It easy to sit back and coach without actually playing in the game.
Awe man I can hear the hurt in Michi voice. B. Marsh get it together and spend time with your wife bro. Nothing is more important than your woman and family! If you nurture your woman you going to be successful. Put your foot down Michi!! You deserve that. 💁🏿♀️✨
I think it’s just more than putting your foot down. Hardworking men don’t know when enough is enough, especially when you come from a background of poverty. You feel like you need to do everything in the world to not put your family in that situation again. She needs to show him that she’s content with where they are now financially and she feels empty like she’s not getting to pursue her purpose. Also you don’t get to live the lifestyle if he’s not bringing in what he does. It’s a give and take situation that they must figure out together.
@@levonoutten8534 Agree, great perspective. Hope they can work it out
His wife stabbed him lol
@@frankazzuri8984 exactly like she been over it is just a new born is involved now but she stabbed him in 2011 and him in intensive care and by her eyes she might be thinking to do it again lol
That's what happens when you meet a woman who had nothing going for herself. They get use to the life and money, have kids and never think about doing something until the bread winner is working his ass off to provide for family and they get jealous and want that opportunity.
I’m a male and I learn a lot from these ladies. 💯
I’m so happy they came out with the woman version of the show
Aja is the sweetest
Wich one is ajay
I love her energy She is calm, peaceful. She is a good communicator ❤️
I could cry for Michi....I’ve been in her shoes before, it’s very important as women that we don’t lose ourselves while caring for the people we love! I’m praying she finds the balance 💜💜
I really like Sharelle! On the kid's thing, I love how she listened, showed empathy bc she's been there, and ended her response to discuss a plan of action for solutions. She doesn't want you to feel stuck or lose your identity.
Man! Gotta love the real from SHARELLE and her voice of reason as well as her ability to tell it how it is without excuses! Great addition to the show!
Loved Ashely’s truth about not leaving if Phil would not have married her. So honest so real. Love her!!!!
Chad has a type, Evelyn is my girl but baybee his new woman I just love everything about her... she is just sooo much more than a pretty face!!
Exactly!! She has substance
Evelyn can't touch sherrelle. Sherelle is a real woman
Sharelle isn't desperate and she knows boundaries. Evelyn just wanted to prove she could get married!
@@raesweety I doubt she’s desperate, if that were the case she’d be married now. This comment was not to bring her down bcz I like her.
@@Dira501 😒🙄 everyone has moments of desperate, and thats how I saw he life displayed. I dont know her to say what I like or dislike...you know her like that?
It's great that you explained the purpose of your comment. I gave my opinion...that's it!
Sharelle would definitely help me get my life together She would probably call me weak a couple of times but it’s okay😂
I was thinking the same thing 😂
I despise using the word “strong” to represent our women. Yet they are, this shouldn’t be the first thing said about all the things they are capable of. The story of the “black mom experience” with doctors is REAL! I’m a man that has seen and heard of similar things happening to people I know. Accountability is hard to prove when they neglect you...
Y’all are doing something very spiritually powerful and I thank God for the insight to see it happening. PLEASE DONT STOP. I have faith that the message through these shows are gonna be received by the masses whole heartedly
All of them are absolutely beautiful and super insightful. I love Sharelle's energy!!
Michi's story gave me chills 😥. I went through horrible treatment throughout my whole pregnancy and afterwards. Black women are treated the same way in 🇨🇦 too. By doctors, nurses, etc.
Sherell is that friend that will remind you to not forget about you. Yea you’re a mom & a wife which is great but who/what do you want outside of that. I love her ambition. Love & respect to all of the ladies.
These women are soooo likeable Very easy to watch and actually interesting! They have good chemistry too...
I love Aja so much. Everyone brings something so valuable to the conversation. I’m not married or a mother lmao but I love this conversation, especially about getting counseling and going to therapy. ❤️❤️
As a Army veteran myself, I understand Sharelle’s no excuses mentality. Her perspective is always motivating! HOOAH 😤
In support of what the ladies have said, remember ladies that these men have been about themselves their entire lives. This focus is what has allowed them to become the athletes they became. This is not an excuse, just a reality. So the change in mindset will take some time and be gradual but you have to work through it with them and hold them accountable through the transition.
Emotional Intelligence is everything, it shapes a childs world and making sure my kids know that their voice and feelings matter is soooo important to me❤
💯🙌🏾💯🙌🏾
Great conversation, as men sometimes we do get caught up in our own drive & determination that we forget our wife’s goals. My Wife & I had this conversation years back, I was so focused on what I was doing that I didn’t stop to think about what she wanted to do. It wasn’t necessarily intentional, I was just so focused on I am the man of the house & it is on me to make sure that my family is good! I’d get one business established & then move on to my next venture. I was so focused on building generational wealth for mine that I didn’t stop to see what my wife wanted to do. She fully supported me & I looked at I’m supporting you by just simply saying I support you, I wasn’t necessarily providing the physical, mental, or emotional support. After having a true conversation with her she gave me a true prospective & I understood where she was coming from. I had to do better & truly be there for my wife & children. Now I do so much better with this & enjoyed not only watching my wife level up in her business ventures, but also watching my children level up in their ventures @ such a young team. Now we are a power team instead of me just being the driving force.
It’s absolutely necessary for us as women/ mothers to take care of us first! If we are not well we are no goo to ourselves or our families! I loved this episode ladies!! 💚
I’m seriously loving this series with the women. I wanna be like them when I grow up
Sherell can't relate lol I love her. She's strong and don't take that shi!
I'm with her on the being selfish though 💪🏾
Right
How does she not relate when she's with a man that has 7 kids with 6 different women????
lol she really can't. I totally understand what Chad meant about her giving him structure.
@@Rad200G2B yep!
Michi is so right about how black women get treated in health care. My wife went through similar shit when she was pregnant. I know Brandon was HOT, cause I was too. My wife and I have been together for 14yrs and I still go to her Dr. visits with her just to make sure they don’t bullshit her. They don’t give a shit about Black women.
All of the ladies are dope but Chad and Channing got some real ones 💯
Someone explain to me why Aja is so beautiful
God
Wich one is Aja
@@mlbonfox8199 in the white shirt
@@MadMax-ui3tw
Got it / I like the one in the cream sweater myself
It's called make up
Sharelle is absolutely right! Step up and take charge. Trust.. it’s the only way! Love her strength & go getter mentality. She’s the MVP! Ladies don’t be weak! I’m a mother of 3, it takes time but it’s a must. You are no good to your family if you are in shambles. Best thing I’ve ever done.
So I clicked on this, even though a big fan of I am Athlete, honestly wasn't expecting much from the ladies version. However I'm about 10 mins in and wow this is so powerful. I can see and hear the struggle from Michi. Not to throw rocks at Brandon but I hope he sees this because you can see she needs to him take some stuff off her plate so she can do what she needs to do.
Also liking hearing from Sharelle - I'm with her on the vibe of a) you have to be a bit selfish and b) you have to JUST DO IT. Easy to make an excuse but just go for it
Yeah as I guy I like it you get to hear a women’s point of view and that could help us with or own relationships
Sherrelle is offering solutions but Michi just wants to vent/complain which is perfectly ok but when Michi REALLY hits rock bottom she will listen to Sherrelle and take that advice.
I think Michi has had a very different exp as a football wife (10+ years) and she needed support not a "buck up" speech. Michi's feelings are very valid and a lot of women can empathize. Further she has LIDDLES and did that during the NFL and the transition out- that's strong. Sharelle is strong (admittedly due to her PTSD and not getting the help she needed when she needed it from the VA) but Michi's strength is a quiet strength and equally valid. Sharelle in a previous episode said she left her small child in the care of her grandmother to join the military and that takes strength for "the bigger goal" as she said in this episode but at some point we may have to classify Sharelle's "strength" as detachment or disassociation which is common for PTSD survivors. There's a coldness which allows for "selfishness". I would be curious Sharelle's thoughts after a few years of marriage to Ocho. I'm sure there will be venting. Grace is always in order; cute and a Gucci bag can cover alot of undiagnosed dispositions.
I think it's hard to "just do it" when you have very small children....ESPECIALLY if you don't have a village. I don't have a village my parents have passed... my husband and I never get a break together. I watch the kids for him to get time to himself and he does the same for me....It has to be a give and take. We both have careers, he wanted me to be a stay at home mom but I let him know from day 1.... that's not happening, I have dreams and goals too. Marriage and Motherhood does not mean I have to give up on my dreams
"After every storm there's sunshine. "
This episode gives me so much appreciation for Michi and Brandon. So much.. This episode was everything. As a non married person, we need this type of honesty and vulnerability.
I am living for this I Am Woman series, such incredible women. Hearing your perspectives on life topics is so inspiring!
Yassssss its 🔥 I love it!!! They are all amazing!!
Everybody needs someone like Sharelle in their life. So steady and amazing
Sharelle is so so beautiful and strong!! I am praying for her! She is a hero!
Hey everyone. Have a great day.
Thank you
You do the same
Appreciate it
Sharelle has such a great way of challenging the group to CHOOSE themselves! She’s the type of friend everyone needs!! Love it! Keep it REAL and support your friends like Sharelle!
SHARELLE IS THAT FRIEND THAT WE ALL NEED.
Putting your queens on is a power move.........
Much respect
Sharelle whew this woman is Gold!
Michi resilient woman I tell you
Ashley exudes an alpha
Aja is just goals PERIOD!
All of them tho are just Beautiful!
Michi being a mom of twins also adds another layer to the stress starting from the day they were born. I have twin little sisters and I saw their mom go through copious amounts of stress and over whelming anxiety doubled lol shit ain’t no joke
I love Sharelle’s POV. She see’s both sides and expresses her real life experiences as feedback. Everything doesn’t have to be a problem more like what’s the solution to it before I make this bigger than what it is. I love her!
Best channel on UA-cam 👌🏾
💯💯💯

Yo Family, B Marsh this is prolly my favorite episode and i watch this weekly. Since the start.
As an active duty soldier for 8 years and being a black man who has been avoiding mental health. Seeing black queens be so vulnerable is truly inspiring. Keep up the good work
"Channing would have them kids in the same pair of clothes everyday"
😆
Boy i remember dem days. When my grandaddy had custody of me and my sistas and brothers he would take us school shopping and get us bout 5 pair of jeans for the week. The same exact pair. Lol. We was fresh tho literally and well fed. Thank God! Grandaddy called dem dungarees(jeans) back too fyi. 💯
There's so much to appreciate here! I'm glad you all were able to show that black women can have a conversation, and disagree respectfully. The vulnerability, the honesty and the diversity of experiences and thought... Absolutely refreshing. I can absolutely relate to the mom guilt, finding time for yourself and a husband who is not around a lot. Despite net worth and status, many relationship/mom/black female struggles are the same. I pray this continues and I pray for each of you on your respective journeys.
Definitely one of the best episodes.. Ocho did say once the women came on we probably wouldn't wanna hear from the men again and he may be right lol
Facts
Another amazing show!!
Ladies, we HAVE TO take care ourselves, PERIOD!!
A lot of the guilt that we have as mothers and wives are self-inflicted!! We are listening to society’s standard or how mama and grandma did it! It’s unrealistic because the times have changed and so has your circumstances! WE HAVE to be good mentally, emotionally, physically, and most of all spiritually in order to support, nurture and elevate everyone else! Support has to be shown by our men not just spoken!
Counseling is critical especially for the Black community!! Our DNA is embedded with trauma and we have no idea how it’s going to show up and show out!! It’s a generational stigma that we have to destroy and it has to start before we commit to relationships and bringing children into the world! Personal accountability comes first!! I say Hooah to my sisters-in- arms once again!!! That bond is a real one!!
Lastly, we must realize that we are women, wives and/or mothers. Postpartum, work/home balance, depression, weight gain, low sex-drive, mom guilt, and PTSD don’t give a damn about our socio-economic status. Yes, it’s relative but, these issues hit us just the same.
Queens, y’all looked beautiful as always. Continue to share resources and experiences to support one another.
I appreciate these ladies being authentic I get emotional knowing that in the healthcare industry we don’t matter.
Michi was letting it out in this episode. Like she spoke her mind MIND. I hope Brandon watched this closely. Very insightful.
I feel Mishi 100%! I feel so guilty, I feel less then when leavening for being selfish! I’m still trying to figure out how to get back to ME! I love this show because it’s giving me more perspective from women ❤️
Sharelle doing the “call me” like ocho in the intro is hilarious 😂😂
I hear exactly what you're saying Michi and Aja. There are levels to motherhood and some women don't see it the same way.
Chad’s future wife is so dope! I love her perspective and independence. They are all strong and independent women. Such a beautiful show ❣️🥰
I hope Michi has a therapist. She holds a lot and her voice needs to be heard and supported.
The vulnerability and honesty that Michi displayed resonate with me so much. Most women aren't being honest about wifehood and motherhood. Thank you!
Sharelle=Truth. I can understand what Ashley was saying about her husband's view on marriage at one point. I think that is always a conversation you should have before becoming serious and having children. I am very glad I had the conversation before my husband and I got married and we did attend counseling before marriage. Women should not be afraid to have that conversation with good men! There are amazing men out there and I would hope those good men are open to hear their significant other if they see themselves spending forever with them. If there are men who do not believe in marriage and the woman you are dating does, don't string her along. If there are women out there who believe in marriage and the man you're dating does not, don't try to change him.
I love the openness of this conversation! They’re not worried about being fake or their image...just a group of women being HONEST about how hard motherhood and marriage can be. God bless y’all for doing this!
I love show Sharelle just sitting there with that " I can't relate " look on her face 😂😂😂😂
Everyone who is saying they are complaining about being a “wife” is really missing the point. 😒
Not being smart but what was the point ? ( I don’t feel any way , I’m just asking ?)
They are basically having real women’s talk and the camera is the fly on the wall. You honestly don’t want them to sugarcoat this. Lol
@@JT1600_ sorry for the late reply.... these women are human and have goals & feelings too. A lot of women dreams are on hold so they can cater to their husband & family full time. These men retire and pursue other goals without thinking about their wives. It’s selfish af & hurtful to make comments about them being married to millionaires stating they should be thankful and be quiet and just focus on being a “wife”. A lot of women married to athletes are very talented and should pursue any dream of theirs with the support of their husband 100% no excuses.
Ashley. How do you know he would've proposed/married you if you had to convince, explain and council him into it? If you didn't take those measures you would've more than likely remained a girlfriend. I like Sharelle! Keeping it 💯
OKAY?! I understand what she meant by Phil not knowing the benefits/ importance of marriage, but as a tweet, I read a few weeks ago said "You can't raise someone you are dating/ in a relationship with". I do admire them going together and we don't know their full story, but the way Ashley tells it does indeed come across as convincing and she did indeed state she was willing to settle by staying his girlfriend.
@@sos12484 Right. Ashley really tried to convince Sharelle otherwise. Girl. She really raised him. He didn't have the same upbringing as her. You're absolutely correct on that one. But hey... it's working for them. They've been together for a long time.
@@tamichristine8560 and convince herself but I agree! It worked out for them and they seem solid.
She was very contradictory talking about her beliefs but then willing to compromise to make him happy...Sharelle was very straight forward and honest... Definitely a real friend everyone needs...
I see some of you are just watching to compare and judge.
Blessing for those Men To have chosen True Queens..The Respect, Grace, Knowledge,Power That these Women Shows on this Screen Is Admirable and flat out Genius!!!👌🏿👋🏿✊🏿💪🏿
Love Sharelle, can definitely relate and understand her military takes. I see it everyday in the Army. Glad she is taking care of herself 💯💪🏽
I loved Ashley and Phil on WAGS. He's so giving and supportive. He understands that the way he grew up isn't normal and encourages his wife to write their story better.
Loving these conversations, for Black Women by Black Women. Thank you "I AM ATHLETE"
Sadly, there’s still a stigma in the black community as it relates to therapy but it’s a badge of honor in other communities. Literally, I had white girlfriends who bragged about having a therapist.
I won’t say that is the problem though when some people go to therapy they lie to there therapists
its so sad, people still don't understand the benefit of therapy. A good therapist can make you move forward and identify issues.
I don't think the stigma is the problem as much as cost. Black people walk around gravely ill because medical care is cost prohibitive for many. They tend to be cared for through emergency services. Furthermore, the care Black people receive is often substandard even when the providers are Black.
yes white people see going to the therapist as self care, their perspective is totally different
@@Miss-Ann-Thrope The stigma is most definitely there.
People really missed Michi’s point when she was expressing that Brandon isn’t as present or helpful with the home life as she wants him to be and that it’s overwhelming. Self-care can only do so much. What she was saying is she wants him to be more present. How will a girls trip help or time away help when she is coming back to him still not helping as much as she wants.
The ladies immediately started talking about self-care and I felt Michi in that moment. She’s literally crying out for help from him and the advice she’s getting is be selfish and take more time for yourself. That’s not what she was saying, she was saying HOW CAN I GET HIM TO HELP MORE?!
Michi's honesty is so refreshing!!! I am woman is the space we need in 2021! have a blessed day if you're reading this.
