The AW Confidential Podcast is a place to discuss everything you may think about but will not share out loud. Episodes cover a wide range of topics with a fantastic group of guests.
Host, Yvette Bodden, and guests have unfiltered conversations about love, dating, authenticity, men, relationships, motherhood, childhood, mental health, death, friendship, trauma, intimacy, empowerment, beauty, cheating, career, entrepreneurship, community, identity, Latinidad, everything in life!
The podcast spotlights male and female guests from all walks of life. You will hear from public figures in comedy, entertainment, journalism, television, beauty, and business. Pop-up guests help AW explore different perspectives on all things. The takeaway will always be something to motivate, entertain, or plant a seed that offers an opportunity for the audience to learn how to open a dialogue with friends and family in their own lives.
Episodes are sure to be anything but confidential. Sometimes, educational and other times, provocative. Listen, as we put everything on the table and engage in honest, candid adult conversations.
The podcast is now available on Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music, and other streaming services. Some episodes can be watched in their entirety on the AW Confidential YouTube Channel.
