Summary

This week on Lip Service, Angela Yee sits down with Raheem DeVaughn and Dr. Mimi from Married to Medicine for one of the most honest conversations about love, mental health, marriage, and modern relationships.

Raheem opens up about losing his father, therapy as a Black man, and how grief reshaped his approach to love and self-care. He shares powerful insights behind his new project Quiet Storm Lover Vol. 1 and breaks down key takeaways from his song “20 Lessons of Love,” including why love is a verb, why actions matter more than words, and why the grass isn’t always greener.

Dr. Mimi gives an inside look at marriage, accountability, and doing the personal work required to sustain real love. She talks about therapy, emotional growth, and navigating reality TV while protecting your family. She also shares her journey as a mother raising a son with autism and why representation matters.

From social media boundaries and “posting your partner,” to hygiene debates, bedroom dynamics, gray areas in relationships, and when to apologize quickly — this episode blends vulnerability, humor, and real-life experience.
