Why We Do It

The Hella Friends Podcast is important because it gives voice to stories that often go unheard. In a world where so many women—especially Black and Brown women—are expected to stay quiet, push through, or carry the weight without complaint, this podcast says no more.!

Brandy, Krissi, and Kayla create a space where honesty, healing, and humor collide. They talk about the hard stuff: identity, motherhood, friendship, trauma, growth, relationships, and self-love. But they do it in a way that feels like sitting on the couch with your girls—raw, supportive, and without judgment.

This podcast is a reminder that:

You’re not alone.
Your voice matters
Your story has power.

It’s not just conversation—it’s connection, community, and a source of strength for listeners navigating their own journeys. Hella Friends proves that healing happens in honest spaces, and that sisterhood is still one of the most powerful forms of resistance.

Episode 3: What's the skinny on Ozempic

Let’s break the silence. Weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are becoming the thing in Hollywood, influencer circles, and even quiet suburban neighborhoods. But while the results are showing up in photos, the conversations aren’t.

Brandy, like many, has experienced body image pressures, health challenges, and private transformations. Her journey — and the silence around it — mirrors a broader cultural hush-hush around medically-assisted weight loss.
