Summary

What does healing, purpose, and partnership look like for a woman at the top of her game? In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Shari’ Nycole—TV producer, media personality, and co-host of the Willie Moore Jr. Show—to unpack her journey from public success to private introspection.

Shari’ opens up about:

Her powerhouse career with TV One, ESSENCE’s Women in Sports initiative, and more

How a season of solitude became sacred preparation for marriage

Why the Church must expand its language around singleness and womanhood

Whether she's open to dating outside her race based on modern relationship statistics

This episode is for every woman redefining what it means to be whole—and every man who wants to understand her better.

0:03.5	I think I'm a little nervous.
0:04.8	The people are out here dragging you right now.
0:07.3	The people said defund.
0:08.7	Defund the Dear Future Wifey Podcast.
0:10.8	Can y'all fund it first?
0:12.0	Fund it so then you can defund it.
0:13.9	I'm a television and film producer.
0:15.5	TV1, currently with Essence right now,
0:17.6	doing some great things for Essence Black Women in Sports
