It’s the 5555 for me The spiritual meaning of 5555 is that everything you've wished for will soon become a reality in both the material and the spiritual world. Self-discovery, self-growth, and receive plenty of spiritual guidance from the Divine. this conversation was very healing for me thanks Amanda!
Such an intellectual and authentic convo between two beauties. I literally just discovered your channel today, Amanda and subscribed immediately! It's refreshing to listen to a podcast that has substance. Most of these podcasts regurgitate and gossip about meaningless subjects...I'm a new FAN!!!!!
I appreciate this open and honest conversation. Growing with integrity is a challenging process. I appreciate your personal experiences shared, which show that this is not easy.
Enjoyed the conversation... felt as though I was also sitting there with you two. Thanks for allowing me in the room😊 Integrity, an intentional choice that so few live by. Love Small Doses!
Having integrity as a regular-degular ass human out here is difficult, so I can't imagine what it's like to stand ten toes down in an industry/business that 1) doesn't reward it and 2) is testing it ALL. THE. TIME. PHEW! 😮💨 Continued strength to both of u amazing ladies. This was a vibrant convo between two matching energies. Thoroughly enjoyed. ✌🏾&❤
Am I the only one that rewound several times to learn what the rapper said to no avail? Amanda, I appreciate how you walk in your truth unapologetically. This was a great display of an earnest conversation between two grown women speaking and vibing as such. It almost felt like I was listening in on a personal chilling at the house come on by and grab a glass of wine conversation. Thank you for the visuals and for your voice.
This is exactly the conversation I needed to hear right now. 🔥🔥🔥Perfect timing. Thank you ladies for sharing your experiences choosing integrity. I’m so glad to see that I’m not crazy to always choose to be integrated especially in this industry. Sending you 💜 from Paris.
One of the artist I’ve always felt was underrated. I’ve always respected how classy she carried herself in terms of fashion. And I’m glad to see some women haven’t sold their morals to the industry. Or watered down their craft to be more acceptable in mainstream. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Also I love seeing Amanda in interviewer mode I’m sorry I think I enjoy this more than her stand up she’s just so comfortable and intelligent. And I love how Melanie talks about being multifaceted. Society does like to put you in a box.
Love this podcast and my fellow Cancerians might I remind you… you don’t have to get ready if you what? STAY READY! 😊 our personalities are the definition of 0-100 ❤
Thank you for this topic/podcast Amanda 💗. I appreciated this topic and Melanie’s story so much! Navigating the music industry can be so tough and I’m glad she stuck with her integrity, gut, and morals. I’m happy to hear another story of how the love for and talent of music doesn’t mean you have to sell your a** or ya soul to thrive. Y’all are beautiful examples of how you can just be and do you in doing what you love to do. Her story is so encouraging and beautiful 🫶🏾. And she was right, in 2007- I would say still today the big industry wasn’t looking for or signing blk women who can sang (this was similar to my experience as well), I remember a lot of promoting of ppl of a shade that “traditionally” ppl wouldn’t expect could sang. Hoping this will change soon however ppl like you and Melanie have shown finding your own success creatively can still be done 🤸🏾♀️👌🏾✨
Yas cancer gang ♋️ were the bomb I love your friendship with Melanie you guys are so funny and cool it such a vibe . I love Melanie she’s so talented she can really sang I am sorry that she went through that the industry is so messed up sometimes I hate the way they treat people it’s disgusting good for her for speaking out about that because not a lot of people would feel comfortable discussing the stuff that happens within the industry I am glad she exposed them . I am proud of her for standing up for herself and not tolerating that disrespect from people . Staying true to herself not letting people put her in a box . I miss her music I hope she makes more music soon .
I love Melanie and wished her time wasn’t cut short as an artist. But i def believe her bringing up Ashanti was low key shade. Think about it… Ashanti peaked at 2002-2003. Melanie came out around 2006-2008… the RNB acts that were new & big was Keyshia Cole, Jazmin Sullivan, Keri Hilson. It’s crazy how Ashanti name keeps getting brought up the past few years in ppl stories ☹️
This was so good! My first episode of small doses that I have watched (read the book) but never caught the podcast! Might have been a bit bias (loves Melonie and phux with AS) to enjoy watching my Caribbean sisters talking about such an important topic of Integrity!
When I tell YOU … That for ME …. This was the funniest, realest , heartwarming, conscious forward version of Small Doses EVER !!!!! Part 1 AND Part 2 !!!! Baaaaayyyybeee …. It’s like a Elevated Adult revised version of The Queens Court !!!! If the two of you as content creators don’t come up with a vehicle for the masses to enjoy the BOTH of you like YESTERDAY…. !!!!!!! You TWO ARE MAGIC !!! Cis & Sis … I’m HERE FOR ALL OF IT ( and if y’all hauxe use that for a title , imma need a fee - cause you know Madison will copywrite check a bitch REAL FAST 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 LOVE THIS EPISODE AND LOVE YOU BOTH !!!!
She have the right to say her side of the story but let's be clear I'm still trying to find how they "pick" Ashanti when Ashanti music was slowly going down around 08/09 so I'm lost about that! But at the same time it was big artist around 08/09 like(Beyonce,Ciara,Rihanna,Mariah Carey,Mary J Blige)... ASHANTI(❤👑) can't never catch a break.... Amanda I see you
Right!!! I love Melanie! But i def believe her bringing up Ashanti was low key shade. Think about it… Ashanti peaked at 2002-2003. Melanie came out around 2006-2007… the RNB acts that were big were Keyshia Cole, Jazmin Sullivan etc

In grade school they didn’t tell us that Canada was so save that people sleep with their doors unlocked I do distinctly remember that But I also grew up in Florida, 😂😂
I hate when people who don't have kids equate owning pets to raising children. If I leave my dog in the backyard for a weekend with food and water he'll be a'ight. Not the same with a child!😒
I was trying to see if Irv Gotti sponsor this interview…Melanie Fiona is a phenomenal woman and singer but if she took to her career as she did in this interview watching other pockets, pictures and contracts..I now see the error!
"The integrity is heavy but so is the crown." Dope conversation between these two eloquent queens. ✨
So true. I'm to the point that I don't want to be in spaces where I have to fake the funk.
"The climb will be longer because of carrying integrity" THAT IS A WORD!
Loved this conversation. Such good energy between the two of you and it flowed so naturally.
that's double Cancer energy girl. they SEE each other
This convo is so refreshing. Yall kind of sound alike also. Respect Queens!
She always shows Brandy so much love. I miss Melanie's beautiful voice too
til this day I'm a melanie Fiona fan ! the most richest beautiful voice! I still have this photo she took with me in 2014 in Times Square nyc 💗
No. Is a complete sentence.
What a great and real conversation. Ya'll have GREAT chemistry
You too have such great chemistry! And she is a phenomenal talent!!

The Bridge is EPIC! No skips, Melanie killed that debut album.
Please bring Melanie Fiona back for another interview going forward. You have incredible chemistry.
Lotta gems in this episode. Especially the part about integrity being how you move in the world when no one’s looking. 💜

Absolutely loved this interview, I wanted this episodes to go on forever! Can TS come back to the show ❤
Is the relationship with a famous person Melanie referred to, Adam Rodriguez?
If so, that wasn't a secret. . . He was the leading man in her video.
Loved this! Integrity is not for the faint. Def a road less traveled. Whew chile! 😅♋️❤️
Such a great interview.. hilarious & insightful, thank you !! ❤
Amanda doesn’t need a co-host, but I would love to hear more of their conversations on a regular basis.
This was so good! My first episode of small doses that I have watched (read the book) but never caught the podcast! Might have been a bit bias (loves Melonie and phux with AS) to enjoy watching my Caribbean sisters talking about such an important topic of Integrity!

I hate when people who don't have kids equate owning pets to raising children.

Not the same with a child!😒
I hate when people can't tell the difference between exaggerated hyperbole for comedic effect and fact.
@@TheAmandaSeales And I hate when people take youtube comments for facts. It's not that deep. AND I just bigged you up in the following comment. BYE
Man no wonder nobody like you. If people cant tell that you joking you probably shouldnt be a comedian. Im only here for Melanie

I think Lori Harvey is one of those women that accept dating ppl for a look
