QUESTION EVERYTHING

My ultimate go-to podcast. Danielle Robay has truly outdone herself, creating a continuous body of work that invites deep reflection and asks the kinds of pretty smart, pretty cool, and pretty intuitive questions that can only further your personal growth from within. From learning how to be bolder in my life with Bozoma Saint John, to embracing the hustle and going after what you want regardless of where you're from or what your background is, with Tika Sumpter. Reaffirming my love for Love itself, as the ultimate lover girl, with one of my favorite authors, Tia Williams. Confirming that everything truly begins and ends with mindset - even in the smallest daily moments through the wisdom of the mother of mindfulness, Dr. Ellen Langer. As a Philly girl myself, I connected deeply with Eve’s story…her trials, her triumphs. I’ve been practicing getting out of my head and into my heart through daily heart exercises I learned from Kimberly Snyder. The much needed episode with Ego Nwodim reminded me of the importance of listening to my intuition, something I’ve always struggled with, despite it never steering me wrong. A love letter to complicated women, Jada Pinkett Smith’s episode gave me permission to revel in being a complex, layered woman. In a society that often demands women be perfect in every way to earn respect, love, kindness, compassion, and understanding, her voice and words were a balm. And then, Ashlyn Harris. Just simply… Ashlyn Harris. That episode gave me life. As a competitive woman striving to be excellent in everything I do, with myself as my own greatest competition, her story struck a powerful chord. A woman driven to close the gaps of racial and gender inequality. A woman who should be the face of pivoting after planning. She was everything. There are parts of people that remind me of myself and then there’s Ashlyn Harris, she felt most like me. Danielle herself is one of the few journalists who consistently asks all the right questions, without ever crossing boundaries to get there. She knows what we want to hear, the answers we need, and how to follow her own pretty bold intuition to get them. Pretty Smart…Danielle and her guests make me feel pretty ready to tackle everything, one day at a time…and to question everything, one pod at a time.

There’s always an episode that I resonate with deeply. I walk away heard, seen and inspired. Danielle has such a gift. She asks thought-provoking questions that blows me away as well as her Guest!

I love PRETTYSMART! Danielle Robay has a way of making every conversation feel deep, interesting, and totally relatable. She brings on such a great mix of guests, and the topics always make me think in a new way. It’s the kind of podcast that leaves you feeling inspired, curious, and just a little bit smarter after every episode. Highly recommend!

Couldn’t have grown as much as I have without listening to this podcast. I get chills every time from the intro itself to every word of her interviews!
