The silent struggle of smiling and laughing all while pretending to be alright when all you want to do is sleep.

My Healing Journey: Learning to live with loss one day at a time.

In this deeply personal episode of Conversations with Myself, I return after a hiatus, reflecting on grief, healing, and the fleeting nature of life. Following my father’s passing in November 2024, I’ve spent months processing the weight of loss.


Inspired by a quote that struck me late at night: Does the fact that nothing lasts forever make life meaningless, or does it free us to truly live? I share my personal journey through grief, the lessons I’ve learned, and the ways I’m finding solace in the present moment.


Join me in this quiet, introspective conversation. Have you ever wrestled with the idea of impermanence? Let’s talk about it.


Listen now and share your thoughts. #Grief #Healing #Impermanence #Podcast

Laugh it Off

Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting; then they said among the nations,

"The Lord has done great things for them." (Psalm 126:2)

Too many times in life, we let some insignilicant, minor irritation ruin our day. Even if we allow it to ruin an hour, or as little as five minutes, those are minutes we aren't enjoying the life God has given us.

It has taken a while, but with God's help, I've learned not to take everything in life so seriously. It's important to make time each day to have some fun and take advantage of every opportunity to laugh.

Laughter is vital in battling the stresses and worries that try to find their way into our lives.

Whether it's something as silly as spilling coffee or something as serious as a major life decision, if you decide to lighten up a little and not take everything too seriously, you'll be surprised at how quickly your stress will decrease and your joy will increase.

Here’s a reminder to schedule a time for Mental Check ups

Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health. This can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. Even small acts of self-care in your daily life can have a big impact.

Checking in on yourself means taking time to pause and reflect on your personal feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations. It's an act of self-care that involves tuning into your inner world to understand how you're doing.

This episode I remind you to mentally check up on your self

You are a Badass: 4&5
You are a badass. You were one when you came screaming onto this planet and you are one now. The Universe wouldn’t have bothered with you otherwise. You can’t screw up so majorly that your badassery disappears. It is who you are. It’s who you always will be. It’s not up for negotiation. You get to choose how you perceive your reality. So why, when it comes to perceiving yourself, would you choose to see anything other than a super huge rock star of a creature?

You are a badass: 3- Present as A Pigeon
We’re on a planet that somehow knows how to rotate on its axis and follow a defined path while it hurtles through space! Our hearts beat! We can see! We have love, laughter, language, living rooms, computers, compassion, cars, fire, fingernails, flowers, music, medicine, mountains, muffins! We live in a limitless Universe overflowing with miracles! The fact that we aren’t stumbling around in an inconsolable state of sobbing awe is appalling. All the stuff we’re so worried about creating and fixated on becoming is already right here, right now. The money you want already exists; the person you want to meet is already alive; the experience you want to have is available, now; the idea for that brilliant song you want to write is here, now, waiting for you to download the information. The knowledge and insight and joy and connection and love are all wagging their hands in your face, trying to get your attention. The life you want is right here, right now.

You are a Badass: 2- The G Word
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. —Nokola Tesla. Wherever you happen to stand on the God issue, let me just say that that this whole improving your life thing is going to be a lot easier if you have an open mind about it. Call it whatever you want — God, Goddess, The Big Guy, The Universe, Source Energy, Higher Power, The Grand Poobah, gut, intuition, Spirit, The Force, The Zone, The Lord, The Vortex, The Mother Lode—it doesn’t matter. The Universe, The Vortex, Spirit, The Mother Lode (all of which I will use interchangeably throughout this book, FYI). Whatever you choose to call it isn’t important, what is important is that you start to develop an awareness of, and a relationship with, the Source Energy that’s surrounding you and within you (which is all the same energy), and which will be your best pal ever if you give it a chance.

You are a badass - 1. My Subconscious made me do it.
You can start out with nothing, and out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made. —Reverend Michael Bernard. it’s not your fault that you’re fucked up. It’s your fault if you stay fucked up, but the foundation of your fuckedupedness is something that’s been passed down through generations of your family, like a coat of arms or a killer cornbread recipe, or in my case, equating confrontation with heart failure.

Independence and redefining what it means to be a successful woman in our society today.
Today, we're diving into a topic that might get some conversations fired up: independence and redefining what it means to be a successful woman in our society today. Now, hold on before you hit that unsubscribe button! This ain't your grandma's lecture about finding a husband. We're all about empowering young people, both women and men, to break free from outdated ideas and build the future we want to see. Let's be real. We all see it on social media: the #couplegoals, the vacations dripping with luxury, the implication that a woman's worth is tied to the size of her rock. But here's the thing: that narrative is tired, and it's holding us all back. There's nothing wrong with enjoying the finer things in life. Treat yourself, honey! But true fulfillment comes from building your own dreams, not relying on someone else's bank account. So it's not about men vs. women. It's about dismantling limiting expectations and building a future where success is about passion, purpose, and personal growth. So, here's the real tea: being a lazy gold digger isn't cute, for anyone. But there's a huge difference between wanting nice things and being solely defined by material possessions.
