Life in The D

Life in The D

Life in the D is where porch talk meets real talk—the kind of conversations you’d have posted up outside with your favorite cousin, a cold drink in hand, telling the truth with love and a little humor.

Hosted by Tila G, former TV anchor turned full-time storyteller and hype woman, the podcast dives into the highs, the lows, the wins, the lessons, and those “whew… life really be life-ing” moments of living, growing, and figuring it out in Dallas.

We chop it up with entrepreneurs, creatives, community builders, and everyday people out here making something out of nothing. Expect laughs, honesty, gems you can actually use, and that unmistakable Dallas energy—bold, resilient, and full of heart.

Whether you’re driving down I-35, stuck in traffic on 75, or winding down after a long day, Life in the D is your weekly reminder that you’re not alone, your story matters, and there’s always room to grow—right here in the city we love.
