In this episode, Monica reflects on the current situation. She talks about the arguments for and against the quarantine, her health challenges, and her plans for the future. While most people probably can’t afford to stay home without income, others are upset because they want to get haircuts. Some people have large enough homes or apartments that they are not forced to stay in one spot for all this time with nothing to do. There are people who say it’s necessary to quarantine, and there are people who say otherwise. Monica finds herself stuck in the middle – on one hand, the people who want to get out and work can find temporary jobs in essential services; on the other hand, putting more people’s health at risk by opening everything is not the most responsible thing to do. While all the tension was building around the world, Monica has been taking steps to optimize her diet – she switched to eating only raw fruits and vegetables as part of a program that is geared toward people with autoimmune issues. She talks about her experience, how her body reacted to the change, and what she’s doing to keep making progress toward improving her overall health. To make the most of her time, she has spent a lot of time thinking about her future – what is the next step? Will she go back to studying? The pandemic has also been another opportunity to highlight “The Tale of Two Cities”. You have the “white city”, where large groups of white people were sunbathing in Central Park. Police officers were handing out masks, but generally not interfering with the people having a good time. In contrast, you go to Brooklyn where smaller, less compact groups of people are soaking up the sun on their patios or just outdoors in general – the police were pinning people up against cars, slamming them into the ground, and kneeling on someone’s neck for not social distancing. The flagrant racism that permeates society shouldn’t exist at all, nevermind during a global health crisis. In lighter news, relationships are still flourishing, and Monica reflects on virtual interactions. She’s still tentative about dating.

In this episode, Monica gives a brief update on life amid today’s uncertain times. Living with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), Monica was forced to make a variety of lifestyle changes that have challenged her physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. She remains optimistic in spite of her many health obstacles and accepts in her heart that God has a reason for putting her through all these trials. Monica relates that there have been many who suffered from lupus who, after making deliberate tweaks in their nutrition, became free from any indicators of their disease after a period of time. This is in spite of the fact that the mainstream medical community has not established the existence of a cure to this day. She attributes this phenomenon to how America, and many other countries around the world, have ramped up the production of food chock-full of artificial preservatives and other ingredients that are detrimental to your health in the long-term. By simply choosing to eat all-natural foods with little to no processing, you can potentially live out your years disease-free. Listen in as Monica reflects on her myriad of health challenges and how she is currently coping, the state of modern-day America’s nutrition and certain aspects of healthcare, and her dating prospects and the question of marriage.

My homegirl Equan and I continue where we left off in the previous episode. Relationships are complex. Ignoring and forgiving somethings in a relationship can be challenging.

Tune in to hear our thoughts on love, forgiveness, spontaneous meetups, and more. Plus, Equan faces my “Quick Draw” questions for some very funny answers.

In this women-centric episode of Balanced Insanity, I and my homegirl Equan discuss what makes a man a man and how the definition of a man has changed over the years.

Are men not men anymore, or it shows some deep-rooted problems with our overall behavior? Let's find out!

In this interview-style episode of Balanced Insanity, I sit with my longtime friend Alvin for a chat. He brings a totally different point of view to the table. I ask him questions about religion, lifestyle, love, dating, relationships, and much more. In particular, the focus of my questions is on relationships and dating. Some of the questions are very personal. But Alvin manages to answer them with ease. His answers are mature, raw, candid, and honest. With occasional jokes here and there, this is one of the more serious hours of Balanced Insanity. Tune in to find out more!

It’s a new season thus new and exciting topics on this podcast;I will be giving a new spin on things. All great changes are preceded by chaos. However, today’s episode is about ‘Google and dating’. Would you google someone before actually meeting them for a date or you rather the suspense and excitement? Lies and deceit in the initial stage of meeting someone is never a good move. Why start a relationship or friendship with a lie that might trail you in the future and ruin it all?
