Meanwhile, She with Aisha Beau

Aisha Beau Frisbey

Meanwhile, She is a podcast hosted by Aisha Beau Frisbey, where conversations unfold from her own couch—honest, layered, and reflective of how women actually live.


It feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on something real. Across conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us, the show explores what women choose, what they carry, and what it takes to stay connected to themselves.


Some moments are reflective. Some are sharp. Some are unexpectedly funny—because the best conversations aren’t one-note.


If you’ve ever found yourself in between who you were and who you’re becoming… you’ll feel at home here.

    If Your Life Feels Like It’s Moving Too Slowly, Listen to This

    If you’ve been feeling like your life or your career is moving too slowly — this one is for you. For years, I’ve been telling anyone who would listen that I’ve had “slow growth.” It was my shorthand. My peace with the process. My way of making sense of the eight years I’ve spent building this thing from the ground up. Then one comment from a longtime community member broke the mantra open. In this solo episode — released on my 37th birthday — I walk through the one line that rewired how I see my career, take you through the receipts of everything I’ve actually built in the last eight years, unpack why the highlight-reel version of growth is a trap, and share the new question I’m carrying into this next year instead of the old label. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    You Don't Know Where Your "Yes" Is Leading To with Janesha Moore

    What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the yes you keep saying no to? This week I sit down with Janesha Moore — the Philadelphia-based creator behind The Strategic Influencer, Move Moore, and the faith-based jewelry brand The Merciful Collective. Janesha was laid off from a corporate marketing role in 2023 and used that moment to build a multi-brand business that now reaches hundreds of thousands of women. But this conversation isn't about how she built the business. It's about who she's had to become to hold it — and what it actually feels like to be in what she calls a fighting season. We get into how one yes to skydiving turned into the New York City Marathon and eventually Move Moore, why she believes God gives you assignments no one else can confirm, the “productive distractions” framework she uses to protect her focus, what her DMs have taught her about being an affiliate creator in a world that looks down on them, and the mantra she leans on every day: "I’ma cry, but I’ma continue." 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Never Treat a Man as a Financial Plan with Danica Nelson

    What if rest and freedom aren't luxuries you have to earn over 40 years — but line items you can budget, plan, and take right now? This week I sit down with Danica Nelson, a Toronto-based money educator and founder of Liberty Leave, the platform teaching women how to fund career breaks and sabbaticals without going broke. Danica grew up in social community housing raised by a single mother, put herself through university debt-free, and then engineered her own six-month solo sabbatical through Southeast Asia after saving for 18 months. She's on a mission to be "work optional by 45" and she's teaching women how to do the same. We get into the three money buckets every woman needs to understand, why you can't budget your way out of not making enough money, the grandfather story that convinced her every woman needs a money binder, what slow travel actually looks like when you're not on vacation, and the 5 things to have in place before you take your own career break. And beneath all of it, the deeper thesis: that building wealth is the best form of love you can give yourself. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    The Six-Figure Rule That Built a 7-Figure Business with Amber Mayfield Hewett

    What if the follower count everyone said mattered… doesn't? This week I sit down with Amber Mayfield Hewett — event producer, founder of To Be Hosted, author of Your Turn to Host, Forbes 30 Under 30, and the woman behind the New York Times–covered Central Park picnic 'To Celebrate Black Life and Leisure.' At 33, Amber is the youngest guest we've ever had on Meanwhile, She, and she's built a seven-figure event production business with clients like Pinterest, Spotify, Peloton, and Pepsi — all while barely touching Instagram. We get into her non-linear path from the NBCUniversal Page Program to shooting Snapchat content for the Real Housewives at Bravo to producing $200K+ dinner parties, the Six-Figure Rule she gave her team about when she'll start posting on social, why she calls laughter "an underrated KPI," the truth about being married and refusing to be defined by it, what watching B. Smith taught her about what her career could be, why "on time is late" and she's fired people over it, and what it actually feels like to have accomplished this much this early. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    The Real Luxury Is Owning It, with Beverly Beal

    What if real luxury isn’t simply being able to afford more—but owning enough of your life that no one else gets to decide what happens to it? This week I sit down with Beverly Beal, an intellectual property attorney, founder of Fine Line Non-Alcoholic Spirits and GiftBiz, and part of the family behind a growing community coffee shop in Detroit. Beverly has never been especially interested in following the timeline handed to her. Her philosophy is “delusion over doubt,” and beneath the humor and audacity is a woman who has spent years building the experience, skills, and self-trust to know that even if she lost everything tomorrow, she could build it back. We get into the mother who made sure Beverly saw a world beyond her immediate surroundings, how moving to a new city without much of a social life unexpectedly led her to start her own law firm, and the thread of ownership running through everything she touches—from helping people protect their ideas to creating businesses, investing, and building gathering spaces in her own community. We also talk about the ulcerative colitis diagnosis that reshaped how she moves through work and wellness, why confidence comes during the process rather than after the achievement, her growing obsession with day trading, why women need to talk about money without shame, and the difference between earning a living and constructing a life that truly belongs to you.

    The Real Privilege Wasn't Money, It Was Being Allowed to Stay Creative with Andrea Lewis

    What if the greatest privilege you could give a child isn't opportunity — it's being allowed to stay creative? This week I sit down with actress, filmmaker, and creator Andrea Lewis — Degrassi's Hazel, the mind behind Netflix's The Black Beauty Effect, and now the creator of Glam Culture, her regional beauty docuseries. Andrea moves through the world with a rare kind of peace about her own timeline, and this conversation is a masterclass in what that actually looks like in practice. We get into how Essence Fest became her manifestation machine, the two women who shaped her sense of style (her Kingstonian grandmother and her cowgirl-Jamaican mother), the Maya Angelou advice she got at 15 that changed how she ages, the honest reality of crowdfunding your own art — what she calls "Game of Thrones shame" — the PCOS diagnosis that reshaped how she moves through the world, why you need champions (not connections) to actually move a career forward, and why the most valuable thing she inherited was being allowed to stay creative without anyone trying to pull it back. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Landing Your Dream Career Without Code-Switching with Chee Smalls

    How do you build the career you actually want—inside an industry that was not exactly built for you—without softening who you are to fit inside it? Chee Smalls has spent fifteen years answering that question. She is Senior Director of Product Development at Coach, a style voice, and a content creator. She is also a Harlem girl who has never—not once, not in a single meeting, not in a single boardroom—code-switched a day of her career. That refusal is the whole conversation. In this episode, we get into how she got into fashion without the resume the industry usually demands, and how curiosity became her actual professional currency. We talk about the moments when she could have softened her voice to fit a room and didn't, and what that cost her at first, and what it eventually earned her. Her personal philosophy on luxury and why she refuses to follow trends—including the very sharp question she asks about whether the algorithm is quietly killing our individuality. The features she was insecure about for years and what changed when she stopped shrinking from them. Her marriage as a real partnership—the "we take turns climbing" model she and her husband built, where one goes head-down while the other holds it together, then they switch. And how she is thinking about ambition, identity, and the life she is building on her own terms. She closes the episode with an "I am" affirmation you'll want to write down: "I am beauty. I am woman. I am ambition. I am God's favored and blessed. I am me." This is also the first episode with our new behind-the-scenes intro. We shot Chee arriving at the door, the two of us mixing a rosé lemonade in my kitchen, and the moment before we settled onto the couch. The full recipe is below, make it while you listen: Meanwhile, She Rosé Lemonade Makes 4 cocktails (about 5 oz each) Ingredients 1 bottle (750 mL) chilled rosé (The Beach Ros√©) 1/2 cup (4 oz) freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 oz Grand Marnier 1 1/2 oz simple syrup 1 oz agave nectar Ice Optional Garnishes Lemon wheels Fresh mint Edible rose petals (if you're feeling fancy) Frozen raspberries or strawberries Instructions In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice, Grand Marnier, simple syrup, and agave. Stir until fully combined Pour in the chilled rose and stir gently so you don't lose too much of its freshness. Taste. Want it brighter? Add another splash of lemon. Want it softer? Add another ½ oz simple syrup. Fill glasses with ice and pour over. Garnish with a lemon wheel and mint. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Motherhood Is Harder Without Money with Tenicka Boyd

    Tenicka Boyd was 21 years old and a new mother when she took a job working for President Obama. Nineteen years later, her daughter is a college junior living in Japan, Tenicka is a fashion voice, former ACLU staffer, and one of the most self-possessed women I've had on the couch. She is also refreshingly honest about the parts of her story most women tuck away. In this episode, we get into the conversation Tenicka is best known for online—the honest one about money and motherhood. What it means to enter motherhood with resources, and what it costs when you don't. Why "living for your kids" is not the compliment we've been told it is. Why she believes we're not owed motherhood, and what it looks like to choose it with your eyes wide open. From there we get into her reflection on early motherhood and the loneliness of being out of sync with the girlfriends who are now having their first child, the leap from a full-time career in politics to content creation—when she eclipsed her ACLU salary in one quarter—and why she refuses to work a sixty-hour week for herself. We talk about the uniformity that's crept into creator culture, the political history of fashion, and why she wants us to expand the definition of luxury beyond European heritage houses. She names the African, Caribbean, and diaspora designers currently defining her closet—from Hertunba to FeNoel to Tongoro to Desiree Iyama. And then we get into decadence as refusal. Refusal of shrinking, of quiet luxury culture, of the mad dash to 40. Refusal of the small life the world has convinced women to accept. This is a conversation about what it looks like to give yourself permission to live a life your ancestors couldn't have imagined for you. Her affirmation this week: "I am my great, great-grandmother's wildest dream." Cheers to that. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    I Knew My Daughter Was Autistic Before Her Doctor Did with Asia Cabello

    We don’t talk enough about what happens to a woman when she has to fight for her child to be heard. Asia Cabello is here to put it on the record. This week, Aisha sits down with content creator Asia Cabello — mom of three, longtime partner to Dwayne Cabello (whom she met at 13), and one of the most honest autism advocacy voices on the internet—for a conversation about the years that nearly broke her and the ones that rebuilt her. Asia walks us through what it took to get her daughter diagnosed with autism: the pediatrician who told her to wait, the bias she ran into as a Black mom in the medical system, and the decision to uproot her family and move states so her children could get the care they deserved. She talks about parenting two children on the spectrum 13 months apart in years she barely remembers being present for. And then she talks about how she found her way back—through the gym, a book club, friendships she made in her 30s, and a marriage she’s intentional about choosing every single day. They get into the racial bias Black mothers face in healthcare, why her husband had to push her to make new friends in her 30s, the morning routine that changed her marriage, the Cabello Couture mommy-and-me line, why “put your spouse first” is the controversial advice she stands by, and the affirmation she’s carrying into the next chapter. If you’ve ever been told by a professional that what you knew was true wasn’t true—this conversation is for you. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Single, Happy, and Done Waiting, with Allure’s Jessica Cruel

    We’ve been taught that adulthood doesn’t really begin for women until we’ve found a husband and had a baby. Jessica Cruel is here to push back on that — and she has the research to back it up. This week, Aisha sits down with Jessica Cruel, Editor-in-Chief of Allure magazine and the author of the forthcoming book Single Happy Female, for an honest, layered conversation about what it actually looks like to build a full life without waiting on partnership to start living it. Jessica is clear: she still wants partnership. So do 48 of the 50 women she interviewed for her book. But the difference is that she’s no longer treating singleness as a holding pattern. She’s traveling, throwing herself promotion parties, picking out the white dress for her 40th in Greece — and writing the book she wishes she’d had ten years ago. They get into the loneliness of being the boss (and what nobody tells you about reaching the top of your industry), Jessica’s openness about therapy and Lexapro after years of watching her mother navigate bipolar disorder, the “twirlers vs. toilers” framework Jessica uses to describe how women rise in their careers, the unspoken hardship hierarchy among friend groups, and the radical act of throwing the damn party for yourself even when there’s no wedding or baby shower to attend. If you’ve been quietly waiting on a milestone to start living the life you want, this conversation is for you. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Your Talent Alone Won't Get You There, with Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins

    We're taught that if we put in the work and the talent is there, the opportunities will come. Ashley is here to tell us about the other half of that equation — the one most people aren't honest enough to name. This week, Aisha sits down with her dear friend, sorority sister, and Howard alum Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins—actress (Dear White People), former host of OWN's Trials to Triumphs, and soon-to-be author—for an honest conversation about access, the doors that opened her career, and why she's so committed to opening those same doors for the women coming behind her. Ashley is clear: the work matters. Her talent is what's allowed her to play the long game and sustain a career that lasts. But she also names something most successful people won't: that there's a locked door between most talented people and the careers they're capable of building—and that door doesn't open without someone on the other side knowing your name. They get into the friendship that landed her the Dear White People role, the Instagram Live moment that turned into her OWN podcast, the intensity of mothering her 20-month-old daughter Aspen, her IVF journey and why visibility matters for Black women navigating the same path, and the 365-devotional book she's quietly writing for the woman who wants to spot her blessings and become her best self. If you've been doing the work and wondering why the opportunities haven't come yet, this is the conversation for you. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    Individuality in the Age of Algorithms, with Fashion Creator Tiffany Battle

    What does it actually take to stay yourself in an industry that rewards sameness? This week, Aisha sits down with Tiffany Battle — fashion creator, creative director, storyteller, and one of the original voices in fashion blogging — for a conversation about what it really takes to build a creative life on your own terms. Before she launched The Werk! Place in 2012, Tiffany was a chemical engineer at a major semiconductor company. Six years in, she made the decision to leave stability behind, book a course at the London College of Fashion, and bet on herself fully. That leap is what shaped the distinct voice so many of us know her for today. In this episode, they get into the rise of the algorithm and the death of individuality, the lost regional style cultures of the 90s, the quiet luxury aesthetic creators are adopting to access luxury brands, why she's building her own show Sunday Stroll instead of chasing brand deals forever, the real talk on managers and money in the creator economy, and what it means to choose joy as resistance. Honest, sharp, and refreshingly direct — this one will have you rethinking how you show up online. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

    People Are Afraid to Be Seen Trying, with Fashion Executive Tiffany Reid

    Fashion used to be built behind the scenes. Before influencers, before front row became content, there were editors pulling all-nighters, sleeping under desks, forecasting trends, and shaping culture long before social media existed. This week, I’m joined by Tiffany Reid — fashion executive, stylist, former SVP of Fashion at Bustle Digital Group, and one of the most respected voices in fashion media. We talk about what it was really like coming up in the magazine era as Black women, the hazing culture of fashion, how the industry has changed since the rise of influencers, why editors were originally the tastemakers, and what gets lost when everything becomes fast content. We also discuss ambition, leadership, survival, motherhood, identity, and the kind of work ethic that builds lasting careers. And somehow through all of it… we laugh a lot too. 🎧 New guest episodes every Tuesday 🎧 New solo episodes every other Thursday Website: aishabeau.com Instagram: instagram.com/aishabeau TikTok: tiktok.com/@aisha.beau YouTube: youtube.com/@aishabeau Subscribe to the newsletter: aishabeau.substack.com For inquiries: aisha@aishabeau.com Multimedia Producer: Starr Callahan (https://www.instagram.com/starr_callahan/) Video Editor: Abiola Aina Original Music by Krisblak + Boo Follow them on IG: https://www.instagram.com/9.5.4 https://www.instagram.com/stezus — Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.
