06/10/20 • 62 min
The recent deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Abery and George Floyd, the unarmed black man who tragically died while a police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes, have all sparked outrage igniting uncomfortable conversations about race, justice, and politics. People across the country are confused about how to be supportive during these turbulent times. Discussing racial inequality can be difficult, but the conversations are critical. On today's episode, Grammy Award winner and Contemporary Christian Music Recording Artist, Mandisa, joins Gretchen and Slade for a raw and honest open dialogue to help shed light on this topic. Why is it so hard for people to talk about racial inequality and what do you say if you're scared you're going to say the wrong thing? What is the real difference between ALL lives matter versus Black Lives Matter and how can people be supportive without being offensive? Plus, if you don't say anything at all, are you not being supportive? When all is said and done, what are the things you can do to create change and how long will this conversation stay alive? Mandisa helps break down answers to all those questions and more with her real-life experiences and personal opinions. It's a powerful and insightful episode that comes straight from the heart as an effort to educate and evoke change for the better. Mandisa is a voice of encouragement who speaks truth and recently debuted her new single, “You Keep Hope Alive”, which is an important and timely message.

On today's episode, Gretchen & Slade come full circle in the real estate world as they welcome Tracy Tutor, the first-ever female to star on the hit reality show "Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles". From waiting tables to becoming a bad-ass mogul in a tough business to starring on a successful reality show, the single Mother of 2 dishes on everything from her favorite co-stars, the juicy behind-the-scenes moments that didn't air, how the real drama lies with her male co-stars and how her insecurities almost prevented her from joining the show. Tracy holds nothing back and sets the record straight on how reality TV was not the reason for her divorce and why she thinks marriage should be a lease.

As a hard-working Mom, she gives Gretchen & Slade parenting advice on the toughest years raising her daughters, her current co-parenting experience and what it's really like to be called a “hot mom.” Tracy is also the author of a new book called, "Fear Is Just A Four-Letter Word: How To Develop The Unstoppable Confidence To Own Any Room”. She gives essential tips to help women stand out in business and teach them how showing vulnerability is just one of the things that's made her successful. Slade gets in touch with his feminine side, while the ladies chat about what it means to fight like a girl, why women's intuitions are better than a man's and why Tracy embraces being called a bitch!
