Meanwhile, She is a podcast hosted by Aisha Beau Frisbey, where conversations unfold from her own couch—honest, layered, and reflective of how women actually live.
It feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on something real. Across conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us, the show explores what women choose, what they carry, and what it takes to stay connected to themselves.
Some moments are reflective. Some are sharp. Some are unexpectedly funny—because the best conversations aren’t one-note.
If you’ve ever found yourself in between who you were and who you’re becoming… you’ll feel at home here.

What if real luxury isn’t simply being able to afford more—but owning enough of your life that no one else gets to decide what happens to it?
This week I sit down with Beverly Beal, an intellectual property attorney, founder of Fine Line Non-Alcoholic Spirits and GiftBiz, and part of the family behind a growing community coffee shop in Detroit. Beverly has never been especially interested in following the timeline handed to her. Her philosophy is “delusion over doubt,” and beneath the humor and audacity is a woman who has spent years building the experience, skills, and self-trust to know that even if she lost everything tomorrow, she could build it back.
We get into the mother who made sure Beverly saw a world beyond her immediate surroundings, how moving to a new city without much of a social life unexpectedly led her to start her own law firm, and the thread of ownership running through everything she touches—from helping people protect their ideas to creating businesses, investing, and building gathering spaces in her own community. We also talk about the ulcerative colitis diagnosis that reshaped how she moves through work and wellness, why confidence comes during the process rather than after the achievement, her growing obsession with day trading, why women need to talk about money without shame, and the difference between earning a living and constructing a life that truly belongs to you.
Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.
The Real Privilege Wasn't Money, It Was Being Allowed to Stay Creative with Andrea Lewis
Season 1 · Episode 15
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 01:35:13
What if the greatest privilege you could give a child isn't opportunity — it's being allowed to stay creative?
This week I sit down with actress, filmmaker, and creator Andrea Lewis — Degrassi's Hazel, the mind behind Netflix's The Black Beauty Effect, and now the creator of Glam Culture, her regional beauty docuseries. Andrea moves through the world with a rare kind of peace about her own timeline, and this conversation is a masterclass in what that actually looks like in practice.
We get into how Essence Fest became her manifestation machine, the two women who shaped her sense of style (her Kingstonian grandmother and her cowgirl-Jamaican mother), the Maya Angelou advice she got at 15 that changed how she ages, the honest reality of crowdfunding your own art — what she calls "Game of Thrones shame" — the PCOS diagnosis that reshaped how she moves through the world, why you need champions (not connections) to actually move a career forward, and why the most valuable thing she inherited was being allowed to stay creative without anyone trying to pull it back.
What if the thing that scares you isn’t the real danger?
In this solo episode of Meanwhile, She, Aisha Beau Frisbey opens up about being laid off, ignoring her intuition, accepting what looked like the perfect opportunity, and eventually realizing that staying in the wrong place was costing her more than leaving ever could.
She shares the story of choosing an uncertain leap into entrepreneurship, learning to trust herself again, and understanding the difference between what feels scary and what is truly dangerous.
If you’ve been stuck at a crossroads, questioning your next move, or feeling called toward something bigger, this episode will meet you right where you are.
In this episode of Meanwhile, She, Aisha Beau Frisbey sits down with Angelique Miles for a candid conversation about reinvention, confidence, beauty, wellness, and becoming more yourself with time.
Angelique reflects on her journey from music executive to wellness entrepreneur, the personal seasons that shaped her, and why women never have to accept fading, shrinking, or settling as they age.
Together, they explore discipline, identity shifts, starting over, beauty treatments, and the mindset required to keep evolving through every chapter of life.
If you’ve ever felt behind, boxed in, or unsure whether it’s too late to change—this conversation will remind you that some women are just warming up.
