Lamonique on Miracle Territory: Healing, Accountability, + Her First Public Words on Her Separation
Big Conversations. No Filler.
Big and Lazy is the interview podcast hosted by Big B Fines, where creatives, entrepreneurs, and musicians sit down and actually talk. No surface-level questions, no PR-polished answers. Just real conversations with the people building something worth talking about.
From Louisville legends shaping the Black community to independent artists and business owners making moves on their own terms, every episode centers the guest and the story they've been waiting to tell. And when the conversation calls for it, current events, industry takes, and unfiltered commentary find their way in too.
New episodes every week on YouTube, Patreon, and every major audio streaming platform. If you're tired of interviews that waste your time, Big and Lazy is built for you.
Your story deserves a seat.
Lamonique is a mother, author, and entrepreneur, and her new book Miracle Territory walks readers through 10 chapters from resentment to liberation. In a Big and Lazy exclusive, she speaks publicly for the first time about her separation, and opens up on accountability, daily healing, teen motherhood, and how a $30 sewing machine turned into a viral pillow business that put her backstage at concerts across Louisville.
