One year of MarKei Unfiltered… and we’re still having the conversations people avoid.

This week, we’re talking about sex — but not in the way you think. Not the performance. Not the stereotypes. The conversation.

Why is it easier to have sex than it is to talk about it?

Why do so many couples avoid expressing what they actually like?

And what happens to a relationship when intimacy goes silent?

In this episode, we unpack:

• Why sex is still such an uncomfortable topic — even between partners

• The real importance of sex in relationships (and what it represents beyond the physical)

• How to teach your partner what you like without criticism or shame

• Navigating different sex drives and expectations

• Practical ways to start the conversation and build comfort

Because good sex isn’t about perfection — it’s about communication.

And comfort doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by intention.

If couples can talk about this, they can talk about anything.

🎙 Stay real. Stay raw. Stay unfiltered.

Holidays can feel very different when you’re building a life together.

In Episode 12 of MarKei Unfiltered, we have an honest conversation about couples and the holidays — how traditions change, how family expectations can create tension, how blended families navigate the season, and how grief reshapes what the holidays look like after loss.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Creating your own traditions as a couple

• Navigating family time and holiday expectations

• Blended and mixed families during the holidays

• How grief and loss affect family traditions

• Keeping families connected after loved ones pass

We also kick off the episode with our favorite segment, Rapid Fire, before diving into the deeper conversation.

This episode is for anyone in a relationship who has felt the emotional weight of the holidays and wants to approach the season with more intention, honesty, and grace.

Making friends as adults is already hard… but making friends as a couple? That’s a whole different level.

In this episode of MarKei Unfiltered — where we keep it real, raw, and unfiltered, we’re joined by guest couple Caleb & Sophie to talk about the realness of finding couple friends in your 20s and 30s — especially while building Black love as millennials.

We get into:

• Why couple friendships feel like dating again

• “My friends vs your friends vs OUR friends”

• Couple friendship red flags & green flags

• Awkward double dates and vibe checks

• Outgrowing friendships when your relationship gets serious

• Social media friendships vs real life community

If you’re trying to find your tribe without losing your peace, this one’s for you.
