I am a GOAL-getter living life with no regrets (with Lauren!)

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:54:00 GMT

It's a What Are You? and The Naked Truth with Lauren crossover episode!
We're SO excited to have Lauren Roche (friend of the pod and in real life) on today's episode! Lauren is the host of the podcast, The Naked Truth with Lauren, where she and guests destigmatize authentic discourse about mental health. She is also a badass solopreneur and runs The Naked Truth with Lauren LLC, a community wellness platform helping ambitious individuals combat loneliness and define and pursue their dreams through structured conversations, guided workshops, career coaching, and more! BUT first and foremost, she is Leaza's friend and neighbor :)
In today's episode, Lauren defines what being a "goal-getter and living life with no regrets" means to her, how she realized that these ideologies were intrinsic facets of her identity, and why these passions inform her current business ventures. She and Angeleaza also chat about older-sisterhood, perfectionism, dance, mental health, this infographic...andddd Six Flags Looney Tooning (Leaza is Lola)🐰

I am a first generation, Haitian-American, multi hyphenate (with Tabitha) | Part 1

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 22:24:34 GMT
Welcome to the PREMIERE EPISODE of “What Are You?”, the podcast brainchild of your host, Angeleaza. On today’s episode, we hear the first part of Angeleaza’s conversation with her roommate/friend Tabitha. Tabitha identifies as SO many different things, from musician to improv QUEEN, to consultant (her day job) to friend/sister/daughter. She is also the daughter of two Haitian immigrants, and as such, she identifies as Black…but not necessarily African-American Blackness (as Angeleaza does). Listen to Part 1 of their conversation, and stay tuned for Part 2, dropping Tuesday! Please subscribe! Follow us on Instagram @whatareyou_pod or follow Angeleaza @angeleaza on IG and TikTok. Questions? Comments? Send an email to whatareyoupod@gmail.com. Thanks for listening xo

So often, we expect to define and be defined by others in a singular way, whether that is through our race, career, sexuality, or our relationships. We move through society as though our identities can be packaged away into neat, little, asynchronous boxes. However, human beings are so complex and unique; how can we expect to define each other in this minimalistic way? During each episode, we will reclaim the question "what are you?" by transforming a crude, belittling comment into an opportunity to explore the infinite facets of identity. We are all diamonds, so let's shine!✨
