  • EP 16: “CONSISTENCY IS MY ❤️ 🤟🏽!” MONALEO, MOTHER/SISTER HIGHLIGHTS, RELIGION & SONYA MOSSEY!
    Jan 3 2026

    EP 16: “CONSISTENCY IS MY ❤️ 🤟🏽!” | Mental Health, Family Legacy, Faith & Accountability✨

    In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Respectfully, Ebony & Destini, the ladies unpack what consistency truly looks like—in relationships, faith, healing, and purpose.
    Ebony and Destini reflect on why showing up consistently matters in romantic relationships, family dynamics, and personal growth, especially when love is being tested.

    The conversation flows into hip-hop, culture, and vulnerability, spotlighting Monaleo and her openness on The Breakfast Club, where she courageously discussed mental health, childhood trauma, and navigating the music industry with honesty and self-awareness.

    This episode also honors legacy and resilience, highlighting two phenomenal women:

    Althea Belton, Destini’s mother — Founder of “Love Thy Neighbor”
    non profit organization, realtor, entrepreneur, resilient mother, and devoted grandmother👵🏼

    Ronnie Rose, Ebony’s sister — a powerhouse businesswoman, loving mother, self published author, self healer & more 🧘🏽‍♀️📚

    Their stories remind us that consistency is often modeled long before it’s spoken.
    The episode closes with a sobering and reflective moment, acknowledging the sentencing of Sonya Massey, and holding space for accountability, justice, and the ongoing conversations surrounding humanity, dignity, and faith.

    ✨ This is an episode about showing up, even when it’s hard.
    ✨ About healing out loud.
    ✨ About honoring the women who paved the way.
