I see myself as fundamentally flawed, so the idea that kev is the only person doing the adjusting is so far from the truth. What you're witnessing in real time is me making my needs and wants known outwardly in a way that's never been done in my life (just say it campaign). So while I still work on myself a lot ( in fact the very day we filmed this I was listening to a marriage podcast), what I am asking of kevin is to do the same in a way that was never required of him in the past. What goes unnoticed are the adjustments and accommodations that I make that are implicit or unspoken (remember the podcast episode about This Is Us). I also wanted to point out the podcast is from my POV, what I will do better about is making sure kevin's side is told. This is a matter of formatting rather than a view into our reality. He mostly hears the topic once we start filming so I've already thought out points and topics to discuss where he hasn't had that time. hopefully this all makes sense.
Thanks for allowing us to see you in a vulnerable way. I hope it was therapeutic for you as it was for us. You are not alone in thinking of our own flaws and the barriers they create. Imagine how much happiness we'll all be once we let go and release more. Thanks again. 👍🏼
I really feel like God used the same ingredients to create me and Melissa. I relate to you on almost every level. Keep pushing forward because you are an inspiration to many!
There is a place in THE BIG LEAP that states, "You dissolve it( the ULP) by shining a laser like beam of awareness on it's underpinnings- the false foundations that hold the Upper Limit Problem in place." You did it!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Shined you lazer of truth on the false foundation of your upper limit problem and it dissolved right before our very eyes. It was inspiring to watch. You probably already knew that though.
Melissa thank you for BEING YOU! Thank you for your YES! I identify with a lot of things that you have shared and I appreciate knowing I’m not by myself. You’re a strong woman! Yes you have things to work on but WE ALL DO! Please know when you say “hi I am people and people is me” I identify with you!!! So hopefully this make sense! But thank you my sista!
lol - "to be like Christ does not always line up to be like church people". I swear sometimes Kev can be so reckless when he's talking and it's so funny and then he stop smiling and come with that word. Amen
I started crying before Melissa had that revelation because I have the same issue. Whenever I assume that I'm not a good fit for an opportunity that someone else offers, I convince myself that they don't really know what they're asking for and turn it down. But people don't see us the way we see ourselves. I often view myself through a painfully critical lens, and people don't see me through that lens, they think I'm dope lol. I have to constantly remind myself that my view of myself is not always the most accurate. The truth is, I'm useful, impactful, and pretty great JUST LIKE THIS. It's a rough concept, but I'm finna grasp this because self-sabotage is not the wave.
Melissa's vulnerability had me in tears. I have struggled with this my whole life and I never could pin point it until she expressed her self tonight. Thank you Melissa! FLAWS & ALL, YOU ARE ENOUGH!!! May God continue to Bless you!!
I hear you, sis. I too feel a disconnect from people. Never feeling I fit in, always trying to see if there is an alternative motive behind a request for me to be part of different groups. I feel like why would they possibly want me? This makes me come off as serious because I'm always on the defense. God's still working on us!
I see the reverse psychology that Kev used to turn this non-topic into a topic!!! 🤣🤣 Liss, your revelation about how people are just people and that we can't build our foundation on people is where I am RIGHT NOW!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Melissa! I am you and you is me! Sometimes it feels so exhausting to constantly be “under construction” and on the road to your best self when all I want to be is just me! Lol like not have to overthink
YES!!! I am SO proud of you Kevin and Melissa. You greatly explained the core of the gospel of Jesus is love. Being a Jesus follower is to be like Jesus NOT like church people. And that means loving people that others may look down upon.
You can’t listen to that conversation out of context you need to hear the whole thing it’s really beautiful...she was talking about even when you don’t feel good even when feel inadequate “LIE” to me like you do the world...smile at me like you smile at those you don’t like ! etc...it’s similar to the expression “keep the peace”
Yes! The gist of the conversation was missed. To reiterate, she was coming from a place of dealing with a man who more than likely goes through hell at work, but keeps a smile on his face in the process to keep his job. However, he unleashes his frustrations and anger onto his wife who didn't contribute to that behavior and destroys the peace at home. Plus, let's not forget the things black men had to go through during those times at work and as result, black women suffered at home. In that case, I would say the same thing, LIE TO ME LIKE YOU LIE TO THEM WHITE PPL AT WORK. All this talk about being honest regarding going to bed when you're tired is true (honestly is needed), but doesn't correlate to what the women in the video was saying as she was talking about peace.
I love when a podcast is so good, you watch it live then come back & watch it again. Melissa is da bomb... she is truly ALL THE THINGS! 🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬 #MKOS #StageKrew #KOSS
That clip made sense because of the times it was created in... that haven’t really changed. No one really wants to be lied to, but your lover still wants the best of you. It’s both a lot to ask and so little. Liss is correct, there’s a balance of selflessness and self-affirmation.
Girl! This is right here!!! The idea that I am enough as is, is NOT what the world, the church, anyone really lets us believe. It is always, become your best self then you get what you want and deserve in your life. Single people like me out here feeling like we are not enough for relationships or even to give to society because we are not more than we are right now. Man!! That really made me think.
I'm only 3:30 mins in but for the Nikki Giovanni clip, you really should watch their full talk. That clip makes a lot more sense when you see their full conversation. She's not talking about "tired from work" fake she's talking about how Black Women catch physical and verbal abuse from Black Men because we're the only ones they can release their frustrations out on. She's saying fake niceness and happiness to me.
I hope that they watched the entire interview, and not just that small excerpt. It was a nearly two hour conversation, and I felt like she was pushing back on the point of view that Mr. Baldwin represented as a black man. She gave him her point of view as a black woman. He comes to the conclusion that he must choose for whom he can wear the mask. Wearing a mask for the "white man" leaves him with no outlet for expressing anger, aggression, and other unacceptable emotions during work hours. Those emotions get unloaded at home with the ones he loves. He brings his toxic energy home to her because he has no other outlet.
Yes, thank you for your comment. I saw the entire interview and felt that the excerpt was related more to how the black man acts inside/outside of the home partly due to racism and that your family should get the same smiling and pleasantries given outside of the home.
So weird my son used to watch Kevin on add now I'm watching him and his beautiful wife! Melissa is a wonderful woman that has a lot to share with ppl.. I'm learning a lot from u guys!
Come on MELISSA.. this Transparency is so freeing. God Bless you!! I’m in my living room screaming at the tv and rooting you on as I thank God for this release. See YOU as complete and whole my dear, because I promise you that is how WE see you. Glory!! The Love hour is so therapeutic. 😀🥰🥰🙏🏾😍
Melissa... we would love to journey with you as you reveal the Fullness of you. You transparency is so reflective (for me at least) and is a blessing in more ways than maybe you realize. Rooting for you!
This! All of this! And Liss is me, I am Liss. The breakdown is literally verbatim what those around me have said about who I am today, not even the potential part. I always feel like “no, no, wait, lemme get THIS together, and you’ll really want me, right now, you’re impressed with this MOMENT, not me. I can’t carry on this moment.”
Yes! I totally agree, I've had so many disagreements/spirited talks with my Husband about this. How dare you give your best to those outside of our home, then come home and give me 💩💩! 😡🤬
The full context of this conversation makes good sense. It might seem like she is telling him to not be his authentic self at home, but that is not true. She point out that he is selective with his authenticity, and thus brings home his misplaced anger. His family experiences him through a "the world kicked my behind all day long" filter.
This was a great episode! I'm glad Liss stopped Kev from talking about Patreon and Keep Your Distance. Not everything needs to be shared. I think behind the scenes Liss gives Kev advice on the business side, including the financial aspect of how much to charge Patreon members. However, when Kev shares it comes across as pitting Liss against the Stage Crew and makes her seem greedy which is not the case. It's all about how and what you share.
I could not have loved this particular episode more if I tried!!!! The best part of this program is watching two solid, Christian, humble, God fearing, articulate, and gifted people offer up their opinions in such a relatable manner. What Melissa said about "making sure you have a solid foundation for your next step...even if you don't know what that next step might be"...STANDING OOOOOOOO!!!! Kev, that statement about "church folk" was so on point, it left me with my mouth gaped open. We must build a relationship with Jesus...not ideas about Jesus! I love you both! Keep shining!!
This was a good episode. Lis' moment was amazing. I'm glad she chose to share it with us. You're a star, Lis. A wise woman once said "shine bright like a diamond".
Melissa your revelation moment about yourself was amazing... i struggle with that same feeling and you almost had me break down. It’s inspiring to see you expose that truth because it let’s me know I’m not alone in that feeling and I can overcome that. Thank you for that, I know this will help me in my season of growth.
When I thought black was Lis's "look" (from last week) then Queen shows up in this pink and hat, 🤯😍 baby idky I even tried to put her in a box cuz she's everything in every color 😍😭😍
Lis!!! All The Things should be your next podcast because you are a whole influencer sis. I encourage you to fully let us see you because we do. We're here for it. Your growth & transparency has definitely helped me over the years of watching this show.
It is not fair that Lis has me sitting at my desk crying. My therapist gave me an assignment that surrounds THIS EXACT THING and I couldn’t figure out what it was that bothered me until she articulated. It’s the fear that someone will see all of you and deem that you’re not enough.
Get out of your comfort zone, Liss. You are too talented, beautiful, smart. You need to see that and the way that you will do that is getting out there. My therapist recommended small things like just taking a different route to the store or work or wherever. Take your time but push yourself. You are too strong
Y’all are such intelligent, conscious individuals 😌 it’s extraordinary to take a glimpse into the vulnerability of your growth as beautiful black people, parents, married individuals, siblings, business owners etc. I do not take you all’s platform for granted 💙 Together you are healing many many people 🙌🏾🗣🥰 ty for sharing
Let your guard down sis your uniqueness is your super power. I have some of the same struggles and I have to remind myself that God does not require perfection!!! Thank you for being vulnerable with us 💕 Oh and I love the way your husband kissed your hand to encourage & comfort you, ‘feel your feelings’.
I woke up thinking about this video so I’m back today to make this comment. The podcast is awesome & transparency is amazing! You already know that and I really resonated with what Melissa was saying. As we focus on our own flaws and compare ourselves to others sometimes we feel like we’re not qualified to be in the room because of our “difference” that we mistake for inadequacy... We often never consider that we were supposed to be in the room because it needs the difference we bring In our authentic way. Y’all feel like family and all of us wants the world to see what we see! Blessings
Sending you so much love and light Melissa! This is a beautiful journey you are on, and please remember to celebrate your small victories. You have to give yourself the same space, grace, support, and love you give other folks.
I died at 1:07 when Kev didn't know what to do when Melissa just agreed 😆 but I totally get Melissa because I struggle with that at times, too! Some of us "serious" women, don't always feel light enough to be fun!!! This is very limiting for us when it comes to other opportunities we don't think we're capable of but God may be putting in our path just for us. You ARE NOT alone, Melissa. It does stem from a nervousness of putting our whole self out there to the world because with that comes a show of our flaws, too. I'm 26 and get it 1000% ❤
It's so crazy to me that I look up to Melissa, and feel the same way. This episode has me all in my feelings. Melissa, I love you so much! Thank you for sharing.
Such a great episode! Kev was lowkey preaching. I totally relate to Melissa's revelation, that's my issue too and why I've held myself back on some things that I am currently walking forward in.
Kev preached a whole sermon!!!!! Said what I've been telling people for so long. U have to love people into coming to know Christ not beat them into it!
I love this show! You guys are so real! I appreciate you being so vulnerable! @Melissa - I think you are absolutely amazing! You have such a unique perspective that I feel the world needs to hear! I understand your journey and completely identify with many of your areas of growth. Keep up the great work! 🤗 PS. Anytime Kev is doing the sponsorship message and he says keyword love. You have to sing LOVE. It cracks me up every time I hear it lol
No cap, S/O to Lis just for being able to say she switch it up at will. As a husband that lil bit of honestly hit like the first sip of McDonald’s sprite.
1:13:15 not even potential, but really just the actual value as is!! Kevin is right that people see that in themselves. Melissa ain't none of us out here with it all together. Also, I would like to request that I be able to offer that you don't even need to be explaining yourself to folks that don't get it mama. Like you out here being vulnerable and so darn transparent. How can you take anything away from this but appreciation. Anyway. I'm talking real tough right now, but you really be verbalizing my inner thoughts and emotions (even where you were talking about just accepting that one thing works for you here and not there). Like are you watching me?!! I just appreciate you. 💐
Melissa, I want to encourage you to embrace those so called "broken pieces". Because those are part of what draw people to you. People appreciate genuineness and transparency. You are not just a broken person. You are in your words, "ALL👏🏿OF👏🏿THE👏🏿THINGS👏🏿". I want you to walk whole heartedly and boldly in that!! Never shrink or try to dull your shine. The things you have to offer to the world are God given and God makes no mistakes. I love you and continue to glow❤❤❤
Liss.... Had me cry on cue and dried my eyes everytime and started again. Sigh I kinda feel like I'm going through this. I want to feel enough but more importantly I want to feel enough gor my own self. Working on it.
I see myself as fundamentally flawed, so the idea that kev is the only person doing the adjusting is so far from the truth. What you're witnessing in real time is me making my needs and wants known outwardly in a way that's never been done in my life (just say it campaign). So while I still work on myself a lot ( in fact the very day we filmed this I was listening to a marriage podcast), what I am asking of kevin is to do the same in a way that was never required of him in the past.

There is a place in THE BIG LEAP that states, "You dissolve it( the ULP) by shining a laser like beam of awareness on it's underpinnings- the false foundations that hold the Upper Limit Problem in place." You did it!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Shined you lazer of truth on the false foundation of your upper limit problem and it dissolved right before our very eyes. It was inspiring to watch.

Melissa thank you for BEING YOU! Thank you for your YES! I identify with a lot of things that you have shared and I appreciate knowing I’m not by myself. You’re a strong woman! Yes you have things to work on but WE ALL DO! Please know when you say “hi I am people and people is me” I identify with you!!! So hopefully this make sense! But thank you my sista!
The freedom of being who you are authentically and with transparency...Priceless.
Whooo!! To be like Christ is not always to be like church people. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Exactly
Say it again for the ppl in the bacc
That was good!
lol - "to be like Christ does not always line up to be like church people". I swear sometimes Kev can be so reckless when he's talking and it's so funny and then he stop smiling and come with that word. Amen
Amen CHILE!!!
Wait... Did Kev called Melissa ''an artist'' and she didn't protest ? Look at her walking into her purpose
"I didn't grow much as a Christian until I was allowed to question things..." Kev!!!! This. Right. Here. 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I always appreciate the vulnerability and realness of Melissa. I'm 23 and I want to be as self-aware as she is as I grow.
If you are watching this at 23, you are definitely on your way!!
the fact that 'I choose you' by Tobe Nwigwe is your open is everything to me.
Wow. This whole time I thought the intro singer was singing "aaaaaah jo jo"
Woooow I thought it was saying naaahhhhh Jo jo...”tusamusamassa ahh jojo...” I’m glad y’all know how words sound
Thank you, I've been trying to figure out what the song was. Great song!
Same here!! I only realised last week and now I’ve been playing the song non-stop.
@@tamialuster4666 me too 🤣🤣🤣
I started crying before Melissa had that revelation because I have the same issue.

It's a rough concept, but I'm finna grasp this because self-sabotage is not the wave.
I know that feeling I just meditate and listen to abide affirmations on youtube it helps God helps
Melissa's vulnerability had me in tears. I have struggled with this my whole life and I never could pin point it until she expressed her self tonight. Thank you Melissa! FLAWS & ALL, YOU ARE ENOUGH!!! May God continue to Bless you!!
I hear you, sis. I too feel a disconnect from people. Never feeling I fit in, always trying to see if there is an alternative motive behind a request for me to be part of different groups. I feel like why would they possibly want me? This makes me come off as serious because I'm always on the defense. God's still working on us!
The exact thing I've been going through. How do we get out of that?
@Anissa Barnett ....you’ve written my feelings perfectly
I see the reverse psychology that Kev used to turn this non-topic into a topic!!! 🤣🤣
Liss, your revelation about how people are just people and that we can't build our foundation on people is where I am RIGHT NOW!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
To: Liss
From: Us who feel your feelings
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Everyone needs a friend like Kev that can push you to show up for yourself!
Melissa! I am you and you is me! Sometimes it feels so exhausting to constantly be “under construction” and on the road to your best self when all I want to be is just me! Lol like not have to overthink
YES!!! I am SO proud of you Kevin and Melissa. You greatly explained the core of the gospel of Jesus is love. Being a Jesus follower is to be like Jesus NOT like church people. And that means loving people that others may look down upon.
You can’t listen to that conversation out of context you need to hear the whole thing it’s really beautiful...she was talking about even when you don’t feel good even when feel inadequate “LIE” to me like you do the world...smile at me like you smile at those you don’t like ! etc...it’s similar to the expression “keep the peace”
Yes I was thinking the same thing. The context has to be understood.
Yes! The gist of the conversation was missed. To reiterate, she was coming from a place of dealing with a man who more than likely goes through hell at work, but keeps a smile on his face in the process to keep his job.

YEEEEES Pastor Kevonstage!!! "To be like Christ doesn't mean to be like church people." Yes and Amen! Melissa be having me crying at work!!!!!
Liss, that sweater and hat got me online eye-buying. 👍🏾👑💖
I love when a podcast is so good, you watch it live then come back & watch it again. Melissa is da bomb... she is truly ALL THE THINGS! 🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬 #MKOS #StageKrew #KOSS
That clip made sense because of the times it was created in... that haven’t really changed. No one really wants to be lied to, but your lover still wants the best of you. It’s both a lot to ask and so little. Liss is correct, there’s a balance of selflessness and self-affirmation.
Great episode again. Melissa, we need OOTD on IG after you post episodes! (And on the ODH podcast 👀)
I said that on Kev's ODH episode. I would love if Melissa was on ODH.
@@micalaking1904 i asked the question in the live because I WANT IT!! We gotta get Precious in these comments!!
What is OOTD?
@toni smith OOTD- Outfit of the Day
Liss be rocking these hats!
ODH & ZWTH
Girl! This is right here!!! The idea that I am enough as is, is NOT what the world, the church, anyone really lets us believe. It is always, become your best self then you get what you want and deserve in your life. Single people like me out here feeling like we are not enough for relationships or even to give to society because we are not more than we are right now. Man!! That really made me think.
She said “No, I agree” 😂😂
We be contradicting ourselves and knowing it but standing it that truth. So God give these men grace 😝❤️
I'm only 3:30 mins in but for the Nikki Giovanni clip, you really should watch their full talk. That clip makes a lot more sense when you see their full conversation. She's not talking about "tired from work" fake she's talking about how Black Women catch physical and verbal abuse from Black Men because we're the only ones they can release their frustrations out on. She's saying fake niceness and happiness to me.
"To the right person, they can see the potential" - Thanks for that reminder yall❤
Melissa, you look so pretty! I love this color and look on you🥰
OMG 😭😭 the whole part where u got emotional is me! thank you for putting words to my feelings/unspoken insecurities
Liss looks so beautiful it is almost distracting. The entire look just WORKS!
I hope that they watched the entire interview, and not just that small excerpt. It was a nearly two hour conversation, and I felt like she was pushing back on the point of view that Mr. Baldwin represented as a black man. She gave him her point of view as a black woman. He comes to the conclusion that he must choose for whom he can wear the mask.
Wearing a mask for the "white man" leaves him with no outlet for expressing anger, aggression, and other unacceptable emotions during work hours. Those emotions get unloaded at home with the ones he loves. He brings his toxic energy home to her because he has no other outlet.

This! All of this! And Liss is me, I am Liss. The breakdown is literally verbatim what those around me have said about who I am today, not even the potential part. I always feel like “no, no, wait, lemme get THIS together, and you’ll really want me, right now, you’re impressed with this MOMENT, not me. I can’t carry on this moment.”
I've seen that Nikki Giovanni/ James Baldwin clip before. It actually made perfect sense to me 🤷♀️
It was a word frfr
Exactly
Yes! I totally agree, I've had so many disagreements/spirited talks with my Husband about this. How dare you give your best to those outside of our home, then come home and give me 💩💩! 😡🤬
The full context of this conversation makes good sense. It might seem like she is telling him to not be his authentic self at home, but that is not true. She point out that he is selective with his authenticity, and thus brings home his misplaced anger. His family experiences him through a "the world kicked my behind all day long" filter.
I want Melissa to watch the entire video, that two minute clip doesn’t give the conversation justice.
Melissa look goodttt 😍🔥🔥. Her outfit is really pretty.
This was a great episode! I'm glad Liss stopped Kev from talking about Patreon and Keep Your Distance. Not everything needs to be shared.

Liss is wearing autumn transition well. Lovely in that blush pink.
Melissa... We see you, we accept you... Live and SHINE in your greatness! You are beautiful, brilliant and genuine!
Kev you do be showing up for this podcast for Liss regardless of your exhaustion😅👏🏾🎬👒❤️
Those peices you call broken are just peices to everyone else.
Shout out to This is Us
Melissa your revelation moment about yourself was amazing... i struggle with that same feeling and you almost had me break down. It’s inspiring to see you expose that truth because it let’s me know I’m not alone in that feeling and I can overcome that. Thank you for that, I know this will help me in my season of growth.

Melissa...gurl... I saw your face when the real time moment hit and my tears started flowing.
I truly appreciate your transparency. ♥️♥️♥️
Look at God! Melissa showed up and showed out to zooming with the homies yesterday
It is not fair that Lis has me sitting at my desk crying. My therapist gave me an assignment that surrounds THIS EXACT THING and I couldn’t figure out what it was that bothered me until she articulated. It’s the fear that someone will see all of you and deem that you’re not enough.
Get out of your comfort zone, Liss. You are too talented, beautiful, smart. You need to see that and the way that you will do that is getting out there. My therapist recommended small things like just taking a different route to the store or work or wherever. Take your time but push yourself. You are too strong
Y’all are such intelligent, conscious individuals 😌 it’s extraordinary to take a glimpse into the vulnerability of your growth as beautiful black people, parents, married individuals, siblings, business owners etc. I do not take you all’s platform for granted 💙 Together you are healing many many people 🙌🏾🗣🥰 ty for sharing
Remember, the Pharasees & Sadducess followed the laws . Questioning & Researching has made me embrace the WORD all the more so.
I love this look Melissa 😍😍😍
Im really just here for her smile. Thats all 😊
Melissa got me crying at my desk 😭! Girl we see you!!! 👏🏾
Melissa's real time honest moment is MY LIFE. My God! Thank you for this podcast. Its genuinely All of the Things MKOS. xoxo
Let it happen Lis. We love you!!!
Kev picking up on Mel reading the sign and stopping her before she said more is hilarious
Melissa, you are so awesome! You made me cry with your honesty. I think we all feel that about ourselves. Thank you for sharing.
Let your guard down sis your uniqueness is your super power. I have some of the same struggles and I have to remind myself that God does not require perfection!!!

Great point because there is no formula....it is important to be honest in each moment.
Sending you so much love and light Melissa! This is a beautiful journey you are on, and please remember to celebrate your small victories. You have to give yourself the same space, grace, support, and love you give other folks.
I died at 1:07 when Kev didn't know what to do when Melissa just agreed 😆 but I totally get Melissa because I struggle with that at times, too! Some of us "serious" women, don't always feel light enough to be fun!!! This is very limiting for us when it comes to other opportunities we don't think we're capable of but God may be putting in our path just for us. You ARE NOT alone, Melissa. It does stem from a nervousness of putting our whole self out there to the world because with that comes a show of our flaws, too. I'm 26 and get it 1000% ❤
Melissa, I loooove your style. Some of your outfits inspire me as I put together
some of my own 💗🤘🏽
Melissa you preached a whole word about being seen fully. I FELT that, thank you for sharing!
This was so refreshing thank you for being you Liss!
I think you'd be great on ZWTH. Your episode of Wording is Hard was HILARIOUS
It's so crazy to me that I look up to Melissa, and feel the same way. This episode has me all in my feelings. Melissa, I love you so much! Thank you for sharing.
Such a great episode! Kev was lowkey preaching. I totally relate to Melissa's revelation, that's my issue too and why I've held myself back on some things that I am currently walking forward in.
This was such an amazingly beautiful podcast. Melissa - I really appreciate your vulnerability and am so ecstatic for your personal revelation!
Liz with the honest emotions😭😭😭 thank you for all of that.💪🏾❤️
This podcast has so many LAYERS!!!!! 🙌🏾
I love ‘Liss. She is all the things.
Melissa you look really pretty. That color is very much you!
Lis 💕💕🥰🥰 better serve looks!
This one had me journaling and crying and laughing at the same time.
Melissa looks good!! C’mon formation hat with the off the shoulder top👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That's my fav clip of N.Giovanni!
I'm just finding your podcast today. I'm a psychotherapist and I can really appreciate your content. Keep it coming.
Kev preached a whole sermon!!!!! Said what I've been telling people for so long. U have to love people into coming to know Christ not beat them into it!
I love this show! You guys are so real! I appreciate you being so vulnerable!
@Melissa - I think you are absolutely amazing! You have such a unique perspective that I feel the world needs to hear! I understand your journey and completely identify with many of your areas of growth. Keep up the great work! 🤗
PS. Anytime Kev is doing the sponsorship message and he says keyword love. You have to sing LOVE. It cracks me up every time I hear it lol
That subtle nga at 1:19:25 or so is CLASSIC! Kev had to grab her real quick. haha
Thanks for letting us see you in all your vulnerability. You a real one ✌
No cap, S/O to Lis just for being able to say she switch it up at will. As a husband that lil bit of honestly hit like the first sip of McDonald’s sprite.
Kev is out here PREACHINGGG!!! C'mon sir!!
Mr. Kev and Ms. Kev y'all are bringing the messages today!! This is so good. Real talk.
1:13:15 not even potential, but really just the actual value as is!! Kevin is right that people see that in themselves. Melissa ain't none of us out here with it all together. Also, I would like to request that I be able to offer that you don't even need to be explaining yourself to folks that don't get it mama. Like you out here being vulnerable and so darn transparent. How can you take anything away from this but appreciation. Anyway. I'm talking real tough right now, but you really be verbalizing my inner thoughts and emotions (even where you were talking about just accepting that one thing works for you here and not there). Like are you watching me?!! I just appreciate you. 💐
Melissa and Kev, yall be preaching low key, great insight 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
This was my favorite episode by far. Thanks for being so authentically you.
Melissa, I want to encourage you to embrace those so called "broken pieces". Because those are part of what draw people to you. People appreciate genuineness and transparency. You are not just a broken person. You are in your words, "ALL👏🏿OF👏🏿THE👏🏿THINGS👏🏿". I want you to walk whole heartedly and boldly in that!! Never shrink or try to dull your shine. The things you have to offer to the world are God given and God makes no mistakes. I love you and continue to glow❤❤❤
Melissa! ❤ the hat! Where did you get it????
You preaching Kev!!!
Nothing is absolute. We can change our mind at anytime about anything.
Liss.... Had me cry on cue and dried my eyes everytime and started again. Sigh I kinda feel like I'm going through this. I want to feel enough but more importantly I want to feel enough gor my own self. Working on it.
beautiful couple yall blessed😊😊
