Superfrau Energy|Amo & Monèt Get Real About Top Notch Human Experiences

What’s a top-notch human experience for you? Like the kind where you’re so present you can feel the follicles of your hair and the tips of your toes?

In this episode of You’re So Real For That, we kick off the year with a nourishing, hilarious, unexpectedly tender conversation about the moments that make life feel worth living. We talk gratitude, presence, childlike wonder, and the small specific ways love shows up, especially when the world is loud and your nervous system is tired.

We get into:

  • Feeling like a Superfrau after a hard season (and how self-care is not a vibe, it’s a survival plan)

  • What makes a moment “top notch” (being a child again, wonder, awe, and being in the good times and knowing it)

  • The science of gratitude: dopamine, serotonin, stress regulation, and why gratitude can shift how your brain processes life

  • How hardship can flip the switch that teaches you how to recognize joy

  • Love in the details: being remembered, being witnessed, being tended to

  • Black joy as holy work: elders, auntie love, community pride, and the little rituals that keep us human

  • And yes, we also discuss the extremely humbling experience of being taken out by spice. If you’ve ever been attacked by paprika or had a near-death experience with Takis… welcome home.

This one is for the Black women who are tired, brilliant, trying, and still choosing softness. For the nerds who love research and romance. For the people who want to feel more present inside their lives, not just productive.

Now tell us: what are your top-notch human experiences? We want your list.
