When Magic Happens

When Magic Happens Final Bow

There are not enough words to describe the journey of bringing to life When Magic Happens. In our series finale of When Magic Happens, we reflect on the moments, the people, and the magic of the show. Week after week, we have brought stories that made us think, laugh, and cry, and we are so grateful for our When Magic Happens family for rocking with us. To our magical guests, we thank you. To our producers and contributors, we appreciate you, and to the “Destiny’s Child” of podcasts, Cheryle, Jennifer, and Taylor, we did that, and we won a Regional Murrow Award! See you all somewhere on the internet, and don’t forget to stay magical.

Dating Smarter, Not Harder

These dating streets are not for the faint of heart, y’all. As Black women, dating can be, well, complicated.

She specializes in holistic transformation in career and love for women of all ages. As we explore our approaches to dating, Cheryl (without an e) shares some tips that could land us a Russell Wilson.

What is their secret to being our mothers, why did they instill certain values and while they’ve helped our dreams come true, what are theirs? This week, in honor of Mother’s Day, Taylor, Jennifer, and Cheryle sit down with their moms to ask questions they’ve never asked before, and the answers might have you shed a tear. Grab your tissues and let’s celebrate the mamas!
