SJR has to work overtime to convince Cora to rescue anyone, you’ll cry laughing the ENTIRE episode and you’ll get a word word that’ll make you want to cashapp her a love offering.

Spirit Check
May 21, 2019 17:38 - 1 hour - 75.2 MBIs this mom’s confrontation an out of line threat or a legit “catch me outside” promise? What about a “rollie” at age 5, #TeamTooMuch or nah? SJR takes a moment to check in on the delegation members who are fans of Game of Thrones, y’all alright?! Hail Joseph to Robert F. Smith for paying off student loans for recent Morehouse grads; HBCU’s are winning right now!

In My Feelings
May 08, 2019 18:01 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBLadies (and some gentlemen)!!! This is not a drill, the squad is linking up again for another season! After a LONG 10 week sabbatical, we picked up where we left off. Handing out grace, coming to a collective understanding and shouting out others that are making positive moves in pop culture. Single moms, the advice question just might bless your soul! The snack...if you know, you know. If not, grab a notebook and a pen because SJR is forever dropping gems. WE Read Chiiillleee: Integrity by ...
Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself
March 13, 2019 17:29 - 1 hour - 90.2 MBAnd just like that, our weekly party has come to an end. Season 3’s finale included rescue attempts for Jussie Smollet and Auntie Oprah. We took a moment and said all Hail Gayle King. Her hostage negotiator level of calm is unmatched and inspiring! Learning how to handle evolving from a close friendship that has become stagnant was an advice topic and WE came together for a woman-down situation — let’s just we’re too grown to be “friends with benefits”! The snack needs no explanation other t...
Invite the Girl
February 28, 2019 23:30 - 52 minutes - 59.8 MBSJR dropped us a speed round podcast while on the road in Charlotte. Let’s just say she needed more time and a life raft for the rescues because the delegation was not having it. It became evident during the advice section that one our sisters knows the Lordt, because her self control was real when she caught her husband in a less than ideal situation. SJR gives us insight into how she’s handling life on the road in a snack that challenges us to look at our lives in wonder.
Night in the Wild Takeover
February 21, 2019 05:20 - 50 minutes - 57.9 MBChiiiiilllleee get ready to join SJR on the road for the NITW tour. She tried to rescue Dapper Dan and Ja Rule in front of a live Detroit Delegation audience and well....we’ll let you hear how that went.
Big Sister Take Over
February 13, 2019 06:52 - 1 hour - 79 MBSurprise, surprise! For the first time ever, W.E. podcast had a special guest host — Cora Jakes Coleman and she did not miss a beat! She managed to get the Delegates to agree with rescuing Lori Harvey from the Bee-Hive, Wells Fargo from its customers and gave a much deserved shout out to the legend that is Ms. Cicely Tyson! The advice (remaining abstinent and handling infidelity within a marriage) and snack given this week we’re filled with wisdom. Cora challenged — “give yourself permission...
Common Miracles
February 06, 2019 08:20 - 1 hour - 90.9 MBThe Delegation came together to touch and agree (or disagree amicably) with the potential rescues of Demi Lovato, Bow Wow and Liam Neeson. Hail Mary Candice Payne is proof that not all life saving, superheroes wear capes! Some of the Delegates made it known that they’re willing to have their honesty tested by bank tellers like Hail Joseph Dane Gillespie — sir gave back the MILLIONS that were given to him by mistake...chile, he’s saved saved. The responses to the advice questions were full of...
Soul Care
January 31, 2019 07:36 - 1 hour - 101 MBNews of actor Jussie Smollett’s hate-filled attack was a major story today. SJR took time at the beginning of the episode to say a thoughtful prayer for him and everyone impacted by this incident and similar incidents. The Delegation then went from righteousness to ratchet thanks to SJR’s first rescue attempt, one that even she couldn’t find a good defense for. After a few more rescues, there were lots of feel good stories in the Hail Mary section. Advice topics — celibacy after already havi...
Rest In It
January 25, 2019 05:48 - 1 hour - 85 MBIt’s rare but it happens, the Delegates rescued everyone this week, including a Delegate. SJR admitted that there could have been another rescue but sis refused to have her MYBM card revoked so it remained a mystery...kinda sorta. Hail Mary’s and Joseph’s included a life saving nurse, a heroic dad and a congregation helping during the government shutdown. Honorable mention is Rihanna’s blueprint to building her legacy — Alexa play Whitney Houston’s “I’m Every Woman” because sis is securing a...
Build A Gate
January 16, 2019 17:52 - 1 hour - 87 MBOur fearless WE leader was so vulnerable this week that sis tried to hand out rescues for everybody like she was Oprah...including making the executive decision to rescue herself. SJR explained how her becoming a rescue may have disappointed the Delegation and she apologized. She challenged us to take the time to process situations by separating feelings from the truth, then hearing from God about His thoughts of it all. Unanimously, WE canceled haters/enemies in 2019...the motto: ”you’re ei...
Get Your Life Together
January 09, 2019 20:22 - 1 hour - 85.9 MBSiiiiiis! It’s our anniversary, we're 1 year into this thing and season 3 of the podcast has arrived! It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t start like we finished, by having REAL conversations. This week's rescue covered Survivng R. Kelly and was so long that there was no room to help anyone else get on the boat (although, TSA did sneak in. We had a LOT of sex talk so parental advisory is advised. We also dove into the seriousness of seeking help from mental health professionals and the importan...
New Year, Same You
January 03, 2019 18:09 - 4 minutes - 4.32 MBSJR gears up for the premiere of Season 3's podcast by helping us find our center. Join us for a quick snack and learn how she's maintaining her peace all 2019. Engineered and Theme Song by: Dx
Breathe in Your Moments
November 29, 2018 00:34 - 1 hour - 84.6 MBIt’s never ‘goodbye’, always ‘see you later’. Season 2’s finale started (a few weeks) late BUT sis, we made it!! So much grace was in the midst, we even had an overflow for some honorable mentions to rescue (or not). SJR got her Iyanla on by trying to find a solution for a mother-in-law that has no clear boundaries within her married son’s home...as usual, the Delegation preferred a more petty solution!! The finale ended with a challenge to, “breathe in your moments” - process 2018’s lessons ...
Closing the Gap
October 25, 2018 05:28 - 1 hour - 84.4 MBThis week’s episode just might be the game changer of season 2! The topic of forgiveness seemed to be a theme this week, including parental forgiveness which really hit home with many of the delegates. SJR offered perspective on the topic regarding forgiving too quickly without processing your pain — “just because you know where you want to land does not mean you have to force yourself to be there” (issa word!). SJR’s snack was a whole meal for those that are in the gap between persecution an...
Cora, You Can't Say That...
October 18, 2018 16:54 - 1 hour - 76 MBSJR surprised the delegation with her HIGH key funny sister Cora Jakes Coleman!!! It’s voting season and the delegation is ready to cast their 2044 Presidential ballot for Cora & Kenzie...although SJR may need to be their Press Secretary for obvious reasons. SJR had some valid points during her rescue attempts but the delegation seemed to be riding with Cora this week. The duo discussed alternative disciplinary approaches in parenting, prayed for the edges of women of all hues and Cora spoke ...
Balance
October 12, 2018 14:40 - 1 hour - 89.9 MBBecause this is a grace-filled, judgment-free zone, we’re going to silently rescue SJR for being a day late. Our fearless leader struggled with trying to get her empathy on for this week's rescues, but we pulled together and broke out the floaties for a couple of people. She did take a moment to educate us on the three levels of raggedy - it's revolutionary. Also, SJR may or may not have told married ladies to never forget the power of circles...or triangles...Prepare for some epic realness, ...
Strength Where You're Strong
October 03, 2018 14:40 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBWe never imagined the day would come when we would have to rescue Chickfila? Well -they TRIED it in a major way. A Florida teacher is out here keeping it a little too real for the school she's in and did you know you could steal “free breakfast”?! The strength of the W.E. sisterhood is tested.....over how to cook scrambled eggs - to use or to not use Lawry’s seasoning salt is apparently a deal breaker. What are you doing as a form of self-care? SJR is likely hiding in her bathroom and trying ...
No Loss in Purpose
September 26, 2018 17:31 - 1 hour - 83.8 MBApparently, pop culture had a secret meeting and they took an end of summer vacation because SJR couldn’t find any good rescues for this week!! The delegation offered to rescue The Cosby Show but everyone wasn’t willing to gas up the private jet. Have you ever noticed how the music you listen to will become the soundtrack to a period of your life? Well, SJR discusses how her personal growth has also influenced her playlist. Still searching for your purpose? Remember that you don’t lose parts ...
Playing to Win
September 19, 2018 17:19 - 1 hour - 89.9 MBWould you be surprised if we rescued Kenzie again? No?! Good, because it happened! Is it time for you to activate your inner “Vontae Davis”? Would you let your child’s school paddle them as a disciplinary method? Chile, the Delegation’s opinions to these topics varied but we managed find some boats and life jackets! SJR’s snack was so good (“Play to Win” instead of “Trying to not lose”), so tune in to The Potter’s House at One LA’s podcast (9/21) for the full word! W.E. Read: Sex, Jesus and t...
Feelings vs. Reality
September 13, 2018 17:18 - 1 hour - 76.7 MBWhere is your “Hideout Ministry”?! This week, ours was SJR’s closet! Chile, we saved Nicki and Cardi but we put them on separate boats.
