This was the last episode of Season 5 that I was supposed to do with my girl group The Fantastic Four. Unfortunately our dear friend Shanjala Irving passed unexpectedly and my voice has been silent. Join me as I open up and talk about the levels of discomfort that come with growth.
Chatting with Dr. Mosadi Porter about being a successful black woman in a room full of white men. She tells a bit about her diagnosis and struggle with PTSD major depressive disorder and being the master of the mask.
Chatting with my girl group the Fantastic Four about marriage, struggleships, past baggage and relationship necessities. Anything goes when we get together. Come join us.
Talking about my latest move and how I realized that I had shit on top of shit that seemed compounded. I relate this to life and discuss how to get from under it as well as future prevention.
I talk about how time management spills into other areas of our life. How often times our eyes are bigger than our stomachs so to speak because we take on more than we can manage and we don’t know how to manage what we already have. Weeeeeelll.
Sharing a few conversations about getting to the root of things. Included in this episode is my TedTalk style presentation Broken Crayons Still Color that I presented at the Early Educators Leadership Conference in Virginia.
Discussing why women cheat with the girls turned into an entire conversation about being side pieces and having open relationships. It doesn’t get anymore invitingly real than this.
We often hear about men and their cheating tendencies but why do women cheat and what qualifies as cheating? Let’s talk about it. Part 1 I talk alone. Part 2, I’m bringing in the girls.
Society has somewhat brainwashed us to believe that it’s weird to do things alone. That if you are alone something is wrong with you. Let’s talk about why that is.
Special Guest: Dr. Bisa Batten Lewis talks about her struggle with anxiety and the freedom she experienced when Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child committed to walking in her truth regarding mental health and sought help for her dis-ease.
This episode is jam packed with get up and go motivation. I talk about children being deprived of recess because of their inability to listen when it’s really the recess that helps them listen in the first place. Adult wise: We need to know that we deserve recess so we can function at our highest level.
Talking about the ins and outs of lying to self, in relationship to save face and avoid conflict. When is a lie appropriate and when does it cross the line?
Reppin for my single mothers. Sometimes it gets extra complicated, tough, rough and bumpy as hell on this single mother road; and oftentimes we are really hard on ourselves if everything doesn’t go according to the plan in our head or in our ear by others.
Closing out this 4th season with a thoughtful moment about encouraging the community, allowing self to become lowly so that others can be elevated. Understanding that when one succeeds, we all succeed.
What are your non negotiables in friendship? How are your opinions shaped by what your friends do to honor you or not? I talk about the: “try(ers)” “can’t say no(ers)” “the overcommit(ers)” and the “I’m sorry (ers)”. Don’t judge a book by its cover but definitely believe what’s on the pages.
I share some of my favorite morning rituals that are non negotiable. These things help me be the best possible version of myself. Try some of mine or develop your own.
I just had to chat about the recent news of Simone Biles withdrawing from The Olympics citing Mental Health. If we don’t self preserve, society will cause us to self destruct.
Are you experiencing an influx of gnats in your space? Are they annoying you to no end? I liken these gnats to the overflow and relay of thoughts going through your head that are EVERYWHERE, that’s why you can’t get nothin done. Let’s figure out how to get rid of em!
