The Friendship and Flow Show

Inside Ava and Ava: Building a DMV Psychological Thriller | Friendship & Flow
The DMV is getting a new psychological thriller.
This week on The Friendship & Flow Show, we’re joined by Isaac Loyal, Danielle Bowman, and Janae Smith, the creators and producers behind the upcoming film Ava and Ava.
The team takes us inside the vision behind the film, the process of bringing an independent production to life in the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia area, and what it takes to move a project from an idea into casting, auditions, production, and ultimately the screen. With Ava and Ava planned for release in 2027, we talk about the story behind the project, their filmmaking journey, and their plans for building something special right here in the DMV.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be Friendship & Flow without the conversations going completely off the rails along the way.
We get into relationships, adult friendships, money, faith, self-reflection, boundaries, and personal growth, including:
🎬 Inside Ava and Ava — Meet the creators and hear how this DMV psychological thriller is coming together.
❤️ Choosing Familiar Over What You Really Want — Why do we keep choosing what's comfortable, even when we know it isn't what we truly want?
💰 Your Network Is Your Net Worth — Why getting outside, meeting people, and building genuine relationships can create opportunities money can't buy.
🙏🏾 Adulting Ain't Easy — How do you deal with overly critical Christians without allowing someone else's judgment to affect your faith?
📱 What's the Tea with E — How long is too long to stay in the DMs before somebody finally makes a move?
👯 Friendships as Adults — Have friendships become too low-maintenance, or are some friends simply asking for too much?
🚩 Flag It or Respect It — Should your partner be expected to come to your doctor's appointments?
🧠 The Hard Truth — Sometimes we're so busy investigating everybody else's behavior that we forget to investigate ourselves. What happens when the person who needs the most examination is you?
😂 Group Chat — If your best friend's business isn't good, are you honest enough to tell them?
🔥 Come Get Your Friend — The crew reacts to the wildest stories, celebrity moments, and internet conversations of the week.
🏈 Mahd-Set Moment — Stop measuring your life only by touchdowns. Sometimes progress looks like getting the first down, moving the chains, and putting yourself in position for the next play.
It's filmmaking, friendship, relationships, growth, laughs, and the kind of conversations that could only happen on Friendship & Flow.
Special Guests: Isaac Loyal, Danielle Bowman & Janae Smith — creators and producers of Ava and Ava

New conversations every week. Real friends. Real perspectives. Real flow.

Who actually comes first in your marriage your spouse, your kids, your parents, or yourself? The Friendship & Flow crew gets into it this week with a full Bestie Breakdown on honor, order, and the hierarchy nobody wants to talk about. Plus Brittany breaks down "no other woman comes before your wife, and no man comes before your husband" and things get spicy fast.
Then it's Money Moves: are you saving what's left or paying yourself first? The crew pulls a lesson straight from I Will Teach You to Be Rich and breaks down how to put your money on autopilot before you spend it on Netflix and nights out.
Later, Adulting Ain't Easy and common sense isn't as common as you think. The Hard Truth this week hits close to home: everybody wants a village until the village has an opinion. What happens when the people who love you most are the ones telling you you're wrong?
The tea gets hotter with What's the Tea with E, featuring Flag It or Respect It including the wild scenario of dating someone who's straight but has been with people of the same sex, and the internet moment with Adrian Broner that had the whole group hollering. Come Get Your Friend goes two rounds of rapid fire, and the Mahd-Set Moment ties it all together: the people who really love you cannot be afraid to hurt your feelings.
A full hour of friendship, flow, real talk, and the laughs that happen in between.

Is there a cutoff point for financial support from an ex?Come prepared to share: How you feel about lingering support after marriage, long-term relationships, shared kids, shared property, or financial obligations.

Single parents are often praised for being strong, independent, and able to “handle it all,” but that strength can come with a real cost. This episode gets into the pressure of raising children largely on your own, balancing work and parenting, financial stress, loneliness, burnout, and the guilt that can come with needing help.
