Cozy Season Chronicles:
How to Dodge the Hype and Find Real Love?
With Jadis DeShong-Venay!
Hey Ladies!
In this blog post, Jadis will explore how when the air gets crisper and the “cuffing season” hype takes over, it’s easy for individuals to feel the pressure of finding someone to keep them warm through the winter season.
But this season, we are flipping the “status quo” and exploring how Black women can dodge the short-term hype and focus on building long-standing connections.
We will discuss how to approach dating with a fresh mindset, hold ourselves accountable, and stay open to finding authentic, meaningful love.
But more importantly, we will discuss how, in this “cozy season,” we can leave the hype behind and focus on cultivating connections that have the potential to last well beyond the winter chill.
Real love isn’t seasonal; finding it is all about staying true to yourself and your growth journey!

I Am Changing
What If Others Don’t Accept Me?
With Jadis DeShong-Venay!
Hey Ladies!
In this blog post, Jadis will explore how navigating personal growth can be challenging, especially when those around us can’t or won’t see our evolution. Specifically, she will offer a heart-to-heart for Black Women in adulthood who may wonder, “Is there something wrong with me?” or “Does everyone have to eat at the same table as me?“
It’s natural to worry about losing connections when changing, but Jadis will remind readers that growth is a powerful and necessary part of life.
Letting go of the need for acceptance allows individuals to step fully into their evolved selves. This freedom liberates you to pursue your vision, dreams, and best life unapologetically, without the constraints of others’ expectations.

Hey Ladies!
In this latest post, I will explore the power of voting for Black women and how our voices shape the future. Despite a history of exclusion, our votes have been crucial in influencing laws and policies that impact our lives and communities. 🗳️✨
While celebrities often encourage us to vote, it’s essential not to rely solely on their endorsements. Instead, we must do our research, check candidates’ track records, and talk with family and friends to make informed decisions.
As the presidential race approaches, our voices are more important than ever. Vote from an informed place and be the change we deserve!

Are More Black Women Dying Alone: A Review of Hulu’s How to Die Alone!
With Jadis DeShong-Venay!
Hey Ladies!
This week, I’m diving into Hulu & Onyx Collective’s How to Die Alone, a show that sheds light on Black women’s unique experiences. We’re exploring the question: Are more Black women “dying alone?” 🖤
We’ll talk about the emotional and societal complexities the show highlights, focusing on themes of loneliness, self-worth, and societal expectations that hit close to home for many of us.
I’m asking two key questions: 1️⃣ Can you recognize when you’ve stopped caring for yourself? 2️⃣ How do you find your way back when you do?
Let’s talk about the early warning signs of burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure to always be “strong.” It’s time to rewrite the narrative.

Second Chances: Do People Deserve Them?
With Jadis DeShong-Venay!
Hey Ladies!
In this blog post, Jadis will explore giving second chances in relationships by examining two essential questions: “Is severing bonds necessary? Are all of your relationships disposable?” Drawing on inspiration from Bell Hooks’ All About Love as a foundation to analyze the complexity of adulthood relationships, Jadis will explore how adulthood relationships often come with higher stakes and deeper emotional investments, which requires making concrete decisions around severing bonds more nuanced.
Hooks’ view of love as an active practice rooted in care, commitment, recognition, respect, and trust suggests that severing ties may not always be the only viable option. As a result, Hooks reminds adults to shift their focus from throwing away love to whether love can be practiced through a lens of forgiveness and understanding, even when mistakes happen.
Therefore, Jadis will explore if relationships in adulthood are disposable, which reflects human beings’ tendency to compartmentalize or sometimes discard connections for self-endurance or convenience. Thus, by the end of the post, you will be able to determine if Hooks’ theory that love requires a willingness to work through challenges is necessary or if individuals should not receive second chances.

Do You Always Feel Very Demure?
With Jadis DeShong-Venay!
Hey Ladies!
In this blog post, Jadis explores the internal conflicts many of us face when engaging with social media trends.
While these trends can promote discussions, they can also create comparisons. Jadis shares how the struggle of not fitting into the idealized version of social media that highlights certain personality styles can lead individuals to feel like they have to conform to something they are not.
Social media can feel like a “pressure cooker of trends.” As a result, this post encourages us to find our rhythm online and remain authentic to who we are, even if it doesn’t fit the mold shared on social media.
As a result, we need to create safe environments to share our identities in digital landscapes, so others know their version of themselves is good enough.
Jadis will also share how fear has limited her expansion on social media and how a personal experience, which she refers to as ‘AUGUST RESET, ‘taught her that being yourself is best!

Trying to Grow in the “Wrong” Environment!
With Jadis DeShong-Venay!
Hey Ladies,
Tupac once said, “Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s law is wrong, it learned to walk without having feet.”
These words have constantly replayed in my mind as I have grown into adulthood because they represent us all somehow.
We grow in environments others may not believe will benefit our well-being.
But, shocker, it does!
We can look at individuals like Oprah, who overcame a challenging childhood to become a media mogul, Jasmine Crockett, a successful lawyer and politician, and Taraji P. Henson, an acclaimed actress. Their stories are a testament to the power of resilience and determination.
Despite the less-than-ideal environments they may have experienced, these women, like Oprah, Jasmine Crockett, and Taraji P. Henson, defied all odds and became the inspiring figures we know today.
Today’s post is a reminder that we’re all navigating our own rocky territories, and we shouldn’t let these environments dictate our outcomes.

The Vicious Cycle of Toxicity: How to Stop Spreading It?
With Jadis DeShong-Venay!
Hey Ladies,
The word toxicity is often thrown around in our society like a yo-yo stick. Or, one may say it is a word used like a broken record.
It repeats repeatedly throughout movies, songs, poems, and books, but I think people forget why that is.
It’s not because people are trying to be annoying. Instead, they are trying to bring awareness.
After watching Divorce in the Black this past week, I have been reminded constantly that toxicity isn’t always a habit that starts in adulthood but sometimes stems from childhood.
Unhealthy jealousy, gaslighting, disrespect, and manipulation don’t just miraculously appear. The signs of toxicity grow over time.
But how does one stop it? That’s where we will start our conversation this week, cracking the code on toxicity.

Elevating Our Dating Relationships:
Removing Gaslighting Behaviors From Our Romantic Situations!
Hey, Ladies!
Let’s keep it 100 with one another for a few minutes. Relationships are not always a walk in the park.
While they can be a beautiful thing, they can also be challenging. Some days are peace, love, and happiness; others can be stressful.
For example, love can be quite beautiful when individuals show each other mutual respect, understanding, forgiveness, and consideration.
But, when individuals demonstrate toxic behaviors, love becomes like a thorn in the side of a rose.

Oops, I Did It Again:
How To Stop Making the Same Mistake Again and Again!
Growing up, I thought Adulthood would be a lot easier than it turned out to be. Now, I am not saying there aren’t some moments where I have peace and happiness, but Adulthood is an everyday task.
And, I’ve come to realize that most tasks we complete regularly. For example, if we live independently, rent is due at the beginning of the month. Or, if we have a credit card, the bill is due the same day every month.
But, for some reason keeping up with all of the tasks associated with Adulthood is quite complicated because Life be Life’n.
And, the more Life be Life’n the more mistakes we make. But, there are some mistakes we can avoid.
Join us this week on IHateAdulthood to find ways you can stop making the common mistakes associated with adulthood.
We will be dropping GEMS and keeping you elevated.

How To Get Over Your Fear of Commitment in Relationships ?
The great poet Mario Barrett, once said, “Oh baby, you got what I need. But you say I’m just a friend. You say I’m just a friend” (Mario, 2002).
I don’t know about you all, but as I get deeper into Adulthood, I meet more individuals unwilling to place titles on their situation with someone.
For example, individuals will use words that represent a commitment, but when you break it down, it means they are just friends.
Don’t get me wrong, individuals can choose to live their lives in any way they want, and this post is not trying to convince them otherwise.
But, I sometimes wonder if there is a reason why some individuals do not like the titles “boyfriend, girlfriend, partner wife, or husband.”
One reason may be that they are not interested in having a relationship in that form. And, if that is the reason, I respect it.
But, if it’s because they are afraid to use those titles, I wonder how individuals can overcome their fear of commitment in relationships.
As a result, join us four our latest post on IHateAdulthood to hear some ways we can do so.

To Procrastinate or Not:
Is Procrastination Costing You Money?
Ladies, one thing that can hold you back in this life is Procrastination.
Like kryptonite, Procrastination is “something that can seriously weaken or harm” someone (Oxford Languages, 2023).
Procrastination can take you out and stop you from reaching the goals you wish to achieve in life.
And, if I am being honest, we are all guilty of procrastinating.
For example, we may need to work on filing our taxes, applying for a new job, moving away from our comfort zone, paying our bills, trying new hobbies, and going to the gym!
For some reason, our favorite line becomes, “I will do it later.” And, when later comes, we still don’t get up to do it.
Join us on IHateAdulthood this week to discuss ways we can stop procrastinating, so we don’t lose money!

Living Life on Deadlines:
Is it Worth It ?
Hey, Ladies!
I cannot believe we are more than halfway done with 2023. The year is moving so quickly; soon, I will blink, and it will be December.
But before we get there, let’s talk about something that has been on my mind for a few weeks.
After watching The Breakfast Club on Youtube, as I do every morning, I came across an interesting conversation between Jess Hilarious and a caller.
The caller’s question was about proposing to his girlfriend because she had set the deadline for being married by a certain age.
Jess immediately responded to the caller’s question and explained that women often put themselves on deadlines, forgetting that it takes two people to tango.
Jess explained that although she had set deadlines in the past, she realized she didn’t need to.
As a result, we are going to address the topic of whether deadlines are necessary in our post today.
For example, what will you do if you set a goal of being married by 30 and don’t reach the goal?

I know it’s been a long time since we last spoke to each other, and you have probably been wondering what I have been doing during my break from IHateAdulthood.
Honestly, before I tell you what I have been doing, I should be honest and share why I took some space for a little while.
There will always be transparency on this blog, even if it means that sometimes we have to be vulnerable with each other about the hardships in our life.

Money, Money, Money:
Let’s Talk, Money, Honey!
Ladies, my favorite notification on my iPhone every two weeks is that my direct deposit was successfully cleared!
It is something about knowing all of your hard work is paying off that makes me very happy.
And although I am not in my DREAM job yet, I am climbing up the ladder of success to reach my goals.
But, you know what the problem is when you
have $, you also have bills!
The phone bill!
The credit card bill!
The grocery bill!
The car note!

Girl, You Look Good:
5 Ways to Build Your Fashion Wardrobe!
One of my favorite compliments of all time is, “Girl, You Look Good!”
Whether it is coming from my friend, significant other, co-workers, or even a stranger on the street, hearing those words makes my day ten times brighter.
It makes me feel like I did the dang thang when I was spending hours searching through my closet for something to wear, trying on things that I know don’t fit, and praying I can get dressed for my outing all in 25 minutes because I spent too much time catching up on the latest episode of the CHI or Basketball Wives!
Ladies, we have all been there destroying our bedroom, closets, and drawer sets trying to put together a cute outfit, so not only do we look presentable, but we don’t look like we just woke up thirty minutes ago.
And, while sometimes that process can be fun! You get in the right mood, play some good music, and run around your room to put your next fashionable outfit together.
It’s the clean-up afterward that gets me! I’ll come home to a disaster and am too tired to want to clean it until the next day!
Independent Grown Woman Chat!

Good Morning Gorgeous:
Girl, Your Morning Routine Matters to Your Success!
Ladies, after listening to Mary J. Blige discuss her last album on The Breakfast Club, I wondered how many other women in the morning use affirmations to get their day started.
Blige, who uses the words Good Morning Gorgeous, explained that through saying those words every day, she was able to overcome and conquer the hardships she faced post-divorce.
While I know not all of us out, there are experiencing the side effects of divorce. We may be experiencing breakups, significant life changes, hardships, or just seeking to elevate our everyday lives.
This post will address some ways as Independent Grown Women; we can create happiness, peace, and joy by implementing a few changes to our daily morning routine.
Chapter 8:
Elevate, Elevate; The Only Obligation We Got is to Tell it Straight!
Elevate!
Elevation!
I seek to become something I’ve never been before.
And to elevate, I must be honest and tell it straight.
Because otherwise, as Diddy said about Caresha, I will not be living authentically!
Chapter 7:
Love Don’t Cost A Thing:
So, Should You Settle?
I’ve often wondered if it is a good idea to settle in Love.
After having conversations with fellow women in my life about if settling is a good idea, I was given many answers.
Some said settling is okay, and others said no!
One woman said, “compromising on your “wish list” because you want to find love and don’t want to be lonely is not a good excuse to stay with someone.

Chapter #6:
We Need “Superwoman” Too:
It’s Ok Not To Always Be Ok!
I don’t know about you all, but it’s hard for me to express myself when going through something.
More importantly, it’s hard to tell others what’s going on during rough times because no one wants to be judged for their emotions or feelings.
Often, as Black women, when we are going through things or life is not going according to the plan we have created, we feel like we are failing.
Chapter #5:
Ladies, It’s Time to Stop Blocking Your Blessings:
The Importance of Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone
Everyone in the world is trying to learn how to grow. Individuals may want to grow personally, financially, and or mentally.
Everyone is looking for a new hot-fix to get themselves further than they are now.
But, what if I told you the remedy people are often looking for is not something they can buy, it’s not something they can receive from others, and it’s not something they can get from the next women’s conference.
Chapter #4:
Girl, Don’t Leave Your Voice at Home:
The Importance of Speaking Up For Yourself
Therefore, sister, NEVER forget your voice! Like you, never forget your phone, handbag/backpack, lipstick/lip-gloss/Chapstick, or even lotion at home!
Don’t forget your voice at home either!
Carry it with you everywhere you go!
Chapter #3:
Price Ain’t Nothing But a Number
I can’t lie; I love me some perfume!
*DISCLAIMER: The following post is no shade to the ladies who love perfume, but Sister to Sister try it on in the house before you wear it in the wrong room.
Chapter #2:
Let’s Talk About User Friends, Baby!
From the beginning of time, the necessity for companionship has existed.
I mean, let’s be honest, even Adam was still friends with Eve after she ate the Apple in the Garden.
So, if we have needed fellowship since Biblical times, why the hell is it so hard to find friends in the modern days?
