Do Your Habits and Routines Match Your Goals?
If you say you want to lose weight but you’re eating cake every day, your habits are telling on you. This week me and Chance got into whether your routines actually line up with your goals — in your finances, your health, your relationships, and your spiritual walk. We got personal about where we’ve fallen short, how we got back on track, and how to forgive yourself when you went off script. New episode every Friday.

Do Men Think Happiness Is For Them?
A D.L. Hughley clip stopped me in my tracks — his dying father told him happiness is a woman’s word. This week me and Chance got into it about whether men actually believe happiness belongs to them, why “happy wife, happy life” puts the wrong pressure on everybody, and why your internal happiness can never be somebody else’s responsibility. Black men, this one is for you — you deserve it too. Let's get into it!

The Importance of Mental Health Awareness and Personal Accountability
Mental health is real — but are some of us using it as a pass to avoid accountability? This week me and Chance got into a real conversation about how to tell the difference between a genuine struggle and just not wanting to show up. We talked about resilience, generational trauma, why you should ask permission before dumping on people, and when you actually do need to talk to somebody. Let's get into it!

When Your Spouse's People Don't Like You
What do you do when your spouse's friend — or their family — just doesn't like you? This week me and Chance got into it: the difference between not liking someone and being disrespectful, what you should expect from your spouse when you bring it up, and who's really responsible for checking their own people. We even role played some scenarios for Quest and y'all… I almost lost it. New episode every Friday.

Pass or Play: Marriage Q&A We're Not Holding Back
This episode we played a little game — marriage questions, pass or play. And baby, we did not hold back. Chance's biggest complaint about me? I bring up business right before bed. Mine about him? He never reads the text that has all the answers and then asks me anyway. We also got into what used to be cute that now gets on our nerves, what only your spouse can say without catching hands, who'd survive longer without the other (he can't cook, so…), and Tab's plans to become a tree when she dies.

How Do You Choose Your People?
This episode we got into something real — how do you choose your people, and for what? It all started with a family argument about who got to ride in the funeral limo, and it went from there. We talked about how Chance picks his golf partners, how he's had the same barber for 16 years (and why that matters), how Tab chooses her hair stylist and her trainer, how we each chose our wedding party — and why someone always gets their feelings hurt. Chance closed it out by telling me why he chose me, a

What Ship Are You On? Where is your focus?
This episode started with a simple thought — so many words end in "-ship." Friendship, relationship, mentorship, ownership, entrepreneurship, fellowship, kinship… and Chance realized it was helping him understand why he's been feeling the way he's been feeling lately. We got deep about which ship is most present in your life right now, whether you're driving it or just riding, when it's time to get off, and what it really means to take ownership of where you are. Plus the real meaning of "blood

Things That Used to Exist (But Don't Anymore)
This episode, Chance and I went on a full trip down memory lane — talking about all the things that used to exist that this generation has no clue about. Toys R Us, Blockbuster, the mall, record stores, 106 & Park, phone books, pay phones, encyclopedias, cutting coupons with your granny, Sunday comics in color, knowing your friends' phone numbers by heart… we got into all of it. We also got real about what kids are losing when these things disappear — real-world skills, independence, and the kin

Do You Know What Love Looks Like?
This episode, Chance and I are talking about love — where it starts, how your childhood shapes the way you give and receive it, and why some people miss it when it actually shows up. We got real personal about how growing up without a father in the home can affect how you connect with people and what happens when somebody tries to love you in a way you've never experienced before. If you've ever pushed love away without realizing it, or wondered why certain things just don't feel like love to yo

In Sickness & In Health — Did He Really Show Up?
A follower asked us something that stopped me in my tracks: how did watching my mama get failed by her partner during her illness shape what I needed from Chance? We got real honest — about the hardest season of our marriage, how Chance admits he wasn't there for me the way he should've been when mama was sick, and how that fear made me hide my own sickness from him for years. Then fast forward to my hip surgery, and baby, he surprised me. We also get into my very real concerns about possibly ne

Does Death Erase the Trauma They Left Behind?
This episode, Chance and I are getting into something a lot of people don't talk about — what happens when someone who caused you real trauma, or was absent from your life, passes away? Does their death erase what they did? Do you owe them grief? Do you have to show up? Chance got deeply personal about his absent father and what he imagines he'd truly feel and do if that day came. We also talked about why "don't forget where you came from" gets used as a weapon, Brandy's powerful story about car

We Have Strong Feelings about the Raising Kanan Season Finale
⚠️ Spoiler alert — we mean it. This week me and Chance did something we've never done before: a full TV show recap. And it got heated. We broke down the Raising Kanan season finale, debated who was really responsible for the family falling apart (Kanan or Rock?), mourned Uncle Marvin like he was real family, and Chance made his position very clear — he has never liked Kanan, not even once. If you're a Power fan, this one's for you. New episode every Friday.

Red Flag or Green Flag? We're Judging Your Dating Decisions | Fridays with Tab and Chance
We played a game this week and it did NOT disappoint. Me and Chance went through a full red flag, green flag relationship quiz — and let's just say we don't always agree. Work wives, exes' stuff still at the house, going through phones, splitting the bill on the first date, sex on the first night… we covered it all. Chance added a whole yellow flag category. I stood my ground. Blackie may or may not be a red flag depending on who you ask. New episode every Friday.

We're Tired — An Honest Conversation About Black Life and Nolan Wells
This one is heavy — and it's supposed to be. Me and Chance sat down to talk about the weight of being Black in America. The weight of raising Black children. The weight of still showing up with joy and grace in a world that doesn't always value our lives. This conversation was sparked by the Nolan Wales case and everything it stirred up in us as parents, as a couple, and as Black people. Chance shares things he was reluctant to say on camera. I share things I carry since I was 10 years old. We s

Vacation vs. Field Trip — Are Do We Have different expectations?
Me and Chance got into something that sounds simple but went deep fast — what's the difference between a vacation and a field trip, and are couples even going on the same kind of trip when they travel together? Chance broke down why family trips, itineraries, and historical sites all register as "field trips" in his brain, and why that goes all the way back to childhood. This one is going to make a lot of couples look at each other differently. And yes, Africa came up. New episode every Friday.

Natural Born Leaders: Knowing When to Lead and When to Follow
This episode started as one thing and turned into something so much deeper. Me and Chance got into what it really means to be a leader — not the performance of it, but the real thing. Chance talks about leading from childhood, protecting his friends before he even had words for it, and why his mama refusing to make him say "yes ma'am" to someone who hadn't earned it changed everything. We also talk about code switching, knowing when to follow your partner, and why some of us are born leaders whi

Who Are You When You're Not Needed?
This one got deep fast. Me and Chance are talking about who you are when all the titles are stripped away — no mother, no father, no provider, no caretaker. Just you. We both realized we've been needed by somebody since we were kids, and we unpack what that does to a person. Plus Chance gives his very thorough, very Chance breakdown of the difference between a need and a want — and let's just say his look alone will make you reconsider asking him for $20,000. Let's get into it!

Should Married Couples Sleep in Separate Bedrooms?
Me and Chance are getting into something I never really understood until now — couples sleeping in separate bedrooms. My grandparents did it, a lot of your grandparents did it, and apparently it goes all the way back to kings and queens. We talk about why people do it, what it means for intimacy and connection, and whether it's actually a red flag or just smart living. Chance made it very clear where he stands. I may have considered the role play option. New episode every Friday.

New Rules after 23 years: Relationship Report Cards & Holiday Planning
Me and Chance are out here trying to create new relationship traditions — and accidentally exposing ourselves in the process. We heard about a couple who does a yearly relationship review on their anniversary and we loved it, so we're starting our own. Then we got into alternating holiday planning because I've been planning everything out of habit and it's time for that to change. Sounds simple, right? It wasn't. Chance figured out pretty quickly that if he's not required to plan travel, he migh

Father's Day vs Mother's Day: Why Father's Day Doesn't Get the Same Love
Me and Chance got into something I didn't expect — why Father's Day never seems to get the same energy as Mother's Day, and whether we're the ones contributing to that. Turns out Chance has been quietly downplaying his own celebration for years, and we dug into why: how he was raised, what he saw modeled growing up, and what it means for how he shows up for our son now. We also found out when Father's Day actually became an official holiday — and y'all, it's not what you'd expect. New episode ev
