In this thought-provoking episode on No! But Seriously… Let Me Explain…, we delve into the uncomfortable truths surrounding Thanksgiving, a holiday shrouded in myth and glossed over with narratives of gratitude and family. “Turkey, Lies & Genocide: The Truth Behind Why Your Plate Is Heavier Than You Think,” invites listeners to challenge their understanding of this widely celebrated day.

Join us as we explore the real history behind Thanksgiving, revealing the darker origins rooted in colonization, violence, and the erasure of Indigenous lives. We question the traditions that have evolved from a day of mourning into a national festival, where gluttony is celebrated, and the true meaning of gratitude is lost. Our conversation tackles how capitalist America has commodified abundance and turned a day meant for reflection into a frantic shopping spree known as Black Friday.

Throughout the episode, we confront the cognitive dissonance that many feel as they partake in these traditions while acknowledging their troubling history. We urge listeners to rethink the significance of Thanksgiving and to forge their own meaningful connections, breaking free from societal expectations.

This episode isn’t about guilt; it’s about awakening to the truth and redefining what it means to celebrate. Are you ready to challenge the status quo? Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that promises to change the way you view the holiday season.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into credit building... the smart, low-risk, and powerful way to raise your score without going broke or playing into predatory finance. We unpack tools like Self Financial (formerly Self Lender), Credit Strong, Kikoff, StellarFi, and Grow Credit in which each one giving you a strategic path to building or repairing credit with minimal risk and real long-term impact.

Here’s what we cover:

• How Self Financial’s Credit Builder Account works: you pay monthly while your “loan” is held in a secure account, your payments get reported to all three credit bureaus, and at the end, you get your money back (minus fees).
• Why using Self is cheaper and safer than many other “credit building loans” with no hard credit check, and you build savings as you build credit.
• How Credit Strong provides a similar installment-style account, helping you build long-term credit with no hard inquiry and monthly payments that report to all three bureaus.
• The beauty of Kikoff: for as little as $5/month, you get a revolving credit line (used only on their store) and optional Credit Builder Loan — both reported to bureaus, no interest, and you get your money back after 12 months.
• How StellarFi uses a virtual bill-pay card to report on-time bill payments (rent, utilities, etc.) as a credit line — boosting your payment history and credit utilization.
• Why Grow Credit is a secret hack: pay for your regular subscriptions (Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime, etc.) using their virtual Mastercard and build credit by reporting those on-time payments.

By combining one or more of these tools, you can build real, meaningful credit history — not just for credit repair, but to set yourself up for better financial freedom, better loans, and a more empowered money life.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start strategizing, this is your episode. Let’s build credit the smart way, with intention, consistency, and a blueprint for real change.
