Welcome back, Queens!
Real Talk Love Therapy is our new podcast where we hope to create a productive space of discussion to challenge traditionally held views about love, and redefine what it means to be a millennial navigating love, sex, and relationships from a POC perspective.

For this week's episode, since Eli and I are super hustlers out here grinding non-stop, but both in long term relationships with partners that have more of a 9-5 energy (and thus more time to focus on the relationship), we decided to tackle the age old question of whether or not it's possible to realistically manage a successful career, and a successful relationship at the same time, or if you really do have to choose one or the other.
We had a very special guest this time to help us pull apart this age-old dilemma...
Boss Queen Becky Harris is a veteran BuzzFeed video producer responsible for creating classic hits such as What It Felt Like To Lose My Hair From Alopecia, This Is What Happens When You Replace Women In Everyday Situations With Men, This Man Changed His Name From José To Joe And Immediately Got More Job Interviews, Day In The Life: A Man Vs A Woman, and When You Physically Can't Have Sex to name a few. I highly suggest checking them all out when you have a moment!
So as you can see from Becky's video background, she is the Queen of all things that have to do with love, relationships, and feelings.
Another Becky classic.
But being the fierce Boss Queen that she is, and having just gotten out of a 5 year relationship, Becky is wresting with the idea of whether or not it makes sense to date seriously any time soon since having a successful career is really important to her, and her last relationship really made her feel like she had to choose being good at one or the other.
So she decided to stop by the Real Talk Love Therapy couch with me (Daysha) and Eli to get some opinions.And seeing that it's Eli and I, you know she definitely left with a lot of them LOL.Check out our full conversation by clicking on the button below!Conversation Highlights:
"You're the character that we hope arcs in act III." -- Becky to Eli
"I fear that when you become really happy in a relationship, you no longer have that hunger [to go after what you want]."-- Becky
"I think I'm challenging so many things that had been ingrained in me since I was a kid, that I thought would make me happy, and that I've [recently] come up against, and I'm realizing don't make me any happier." -- Daysha
So what's your thoughts? Do you think it's actually possible to manage having a successful career and relationship at the same time? Or will it always be one or the other?Do you think two hustlers could survive being a relationship together? Or a hustler and a 9-5er?
And lastly, why is Eli so salty towards Michael Bae Jordan?
Check out this behind-the-scenes moment of our recording session as we play our favorite closing game, Scroll, Double Tap, or DM with Mahershala Ali, Michael Bae Jordan, and Donald Glover. The only words I had for Eli after this round was...

About The Blog
When life gives you frogboys, you can kiss'em. You can even fuck'em. But don't you dare try and put a frogboy in a king's clothing.
Your queendom is strong enough to be run by one crown, and too valuable to pass off to frogboys because of silly things like societal pressure, nagging families, and the infamous "biological clock."
When Life Gives You Frogboys is my blog that is devoted to building care-free single queens. I hope you enjoy all my blog/vlog posts where I analyze my various (and honestly way too many) encounters with frogboys, and how I (Daysha) used the 4 Queen Commandments to become unapologetically care-free and single.
