Are we even safe?

About this episode

This episode discusses mental and emotional health amidst rising violence against women, community accountability, and authenticity in the influencer space.

This week on Conversations With Toi , we’re starting with a real check‑in — the kind that goes beyond “I’m fine.” I’m sharing where I am mentally and emotionally as we move through a heavy news cycle and try to stay grounded in our own lives. From there, we’re diving into the rise in viral violence against women and the emotional toll it’s taking on all of us. These stories aren’t just headlines — they’re reminders of the fear, exhaustion, and hyper‑vigilance women carry every day. We’re talking about the impact, the desensitization, the need for community accountability, and how to protect your peace while staying informed. To close things out, we’re shifting into something a little lighter but still very real: Bran Flakes, Philly culture, and the influencer community. What does authenticity look like online? How does the Philly creator space move? And what can we learn from the chaos, the humor, and the lessons that come out of it all? If you’re navigating the weight of the world while still trying to show up for yourself, this episode is for you.
