NOIRPOISED Podcast
The NOIRPOISED podcast is a front-row seat to the real conversations Ruth & Sam have off-mic—now shared so you can grow from them too. If you’re building a career, raising kids (or co-parenting), caring for aging parents, healing old patterns, and still chasing purpose, this is for you.
Each episode goes beyond talk to transformation: we unpack the echoes of childhood that shape adult relationships, challenge outdated norms, and practice unlearning so we can relearn what’s true. Expect candid stories, evidence-minded insights, and practical takeaways you can use that week—on communication, boundaries, money, intimacy, leadership, and legacy.
We believe wisdom is a currency. As we navigate life’s lessons in real time, we share what’s working (and what isn’t) so you leave richer in perspective, not just entertained. Tune in for honest, relatable, no-fluff conversations that help you grow—in love, in life, and on purpose.

Women Need Safe Spaces, Too
In this episode, we found ourselves delving into an unexpectedly deep conversation about what women crave in safe spaces. With many moments of raw honesty, this openness paved the way for us to explore the significance of validation and emotional security from a woman's viewpoint.
We faced the question: What does emotional security look like in practical terms? Through our personal experiences and thoughtful discussions, we began to unravel the layers of emotional labor and societal expectations placed on women, especially black women. We ventured into the historical contexts that have shaped certain stereotypes, pondering how these perceptions influence women's ability to express vulnerability and seek support.
This episode was a journey into understanding the complexities of gender dynamics and emotional well-being. With a commitment to continue this vital conversation in our next episode, we left our listeners with reflections to ponder: "Are we truly listening and providing the emotional security our partners need?"
We're eager to further this enlightening exploration of validation, security, and the process of unlearning to relearn. How do we engage in these conversations in our own lives? And how can we better support the women around us to feel heard, validated, and secure?
Stay tuned for next week’s episode, where we continue the conversation on creating safe spaces for women.
