  • EP 40: Can Men And Women Truly Ever Be Friends? FT. Becky Harris and Jess
    Apr 6 2026

    While it’s coming a little late, in honor of Women’s history month, Daysha decides to tackle the age-old question of whether or not men and women — and more specifically hetero men and women can ever truly be friends. While the question can seem silly and slightly regressive, Daysha invites her bestie, Becky Harris, to sit down and ponder with her since Becky has had a lot of successful male friendships. But they soon realize, at what cost are women stifling themselves in order to maintain male friendship and discuss the impact that the media has had over societal norms about opposite sex friendship. And a jaw-dropping revelation forces Daysha’s boyfriend, Jess, to get in on the conversation as well.

    So, if you’ve always wondered:

    • Why do opposite-sex friendships get complicated?

    • What are healthy boundaries in male-female friendships?

    • How to make your partner comfortable about your opposite sex best friend

    Then I hope you are sat and ready because Real Talk Friend Therapy with Daysha Veronica is in session!

  • EP 39: How Living In Contrast Is Keeping You From Your Best Relationships
    Mar 20 2026

    Contrast, as defined in The Law of Attraction by Michael J. Losier, is “anything you don’t like, doesn’t feel good, or causes you to be in a negative mood.” And when we live in contrast for too long — aka we observe people who make us feel negative, but continue to engage with them and give them our attention, then we are only inviting more negativity into our lives.

    In this week Daysha goes over:

    • What is contrast and why it’s keeping us from the relationships we want

    • How she’s approached getting out of living in contrast

    • And how to reframe using what you don’t want to get what you do

    So, if you’ve always wondered:

    • Why do I keep attracting the wrong friends?

    • How do I break out of toxic friendship cycles?

    • How do I shift my mindset to attract better friends?

    Then I hope you are sat and ready because Real Talk Friend Therapy with Daysha Veronica is in session!
