Hold My Purse with Rho featuring Aria
This show is all about unapologetically putting yourself first and embracing self-love with courage and confidence. Hosted by Rhonda Nelson (aka Rho), Hold My Purse is your space to prioritize YOU, take back your life, and own your journey without guilt or hesitation.
Just like trusting someone to hold your purse, self-care is your partner in power, giving you the strength to conquer life’s challenges like a boss. But this isn’t about clichés or surface-level fixes—Rho dives deep into how self-care ignites self-awareness, builds unshakable boundaries, and empowers you to reclaim your worth and live authentically.
Life is about sharing experiences, finding connection, and learning from one another. Through raw stories, expert insights, and unfiltered conversations, Rho becomes your no-nonsense guide to personal growth and transformation. And with the joyful perspective of her 7-year-old granddaughter, Aria, you’ll be reminded to savor life’s simple, meaningful moments.
It’s time to reclaim your time, your energy, and your peace. Tune in to Hold My Purse and join the movement that’s redefining self-care as the ultimate act of badassery. You’ve got this, and Rho’s got your back. Let’s get this party started!
