May 6 · 17m
Send us Fan MailHave you ever thought about working with a dating coach? What if that decision didn’t just impact your love life but also changed how you show up for yourself? In this soul-shifting solo episode, Head Honey Felicia Pride opens up about what inspired her—at 45—to hire a dating coach. From confronting deep-rooted childhood wounds to rethinking what it means to be “too accessible,” Felicia shares her transformative experience with raw honesty, relatable lessons, and her signature Honey flair. This adventure started with a scroll on Instagram… and led to a year-long program that’s changing her life far beyond the dating apps. Felicia dives into the emotional work of asking for help, the power of being “inconvenient,” and the dating revelations that are reshaping her sense of self. Plus, she dishes on how coaching compares to matchmaking, her boundaries glow-up, and what she’s finally ready to ask for in love and beyond.

Felicia Pride on Building a Brand for Black Women Over 40
Apr 8 · 26m
Send us Fan MailI wasn’t one to shy away from entrepreneurship, having started my first business in my late 20s. But I was tired of not seeing stories that spoke to me or other Black women my age and decided to do something about it. I was also very clear that the business favored youth and chose to see creatives like myself as work for hires. Starting HONEY CHILE felt like a calling and allowed me to have some skin in the game, but that didn’t make it any less scary. I’ve learned so much about myself on this entrepreneurial journey and share all that goodness for my fellow Honeys and creative entrepreneurs as HONEY CHILE celebrates our four-year anniversary. Becoming a CEO ain’t for the faint of heart, but my heart is so full of gratitude for the leap I took and for everyone that has continued to support our journey along the way. Sign up for The Sweet Build Salon: From the Ground Up: Building Hollywood Production Companies taking place Saturday, April 12, from 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET. You don’t want to miss this insightful and intimate conversation between me and SuperSpecial founder Amy Aniobi, who’s also an award-winning writer/director/producer best known for her work on the Emmy-nominated, NAACP-award-winning comedy series Insecure (HBO).
