How are you feeling? We're 2 weeks into the new year and we have a lot of time to implement some change, it's time to be refreshed and renewed! This weeks episode is a reflection on where we came from to who we are today, or at least who we want to be.  Reference: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ten-ways-to-renew-refresh-and-rejuvenate_b_6979424

Change is necessary sometimes to reach your goals and aspirations. I changed my mindset completely and re-dedicated my life to God, my life has been so amazing ever since. In this episode, I am going to talk briefly about how good God was to me this past week/weekend amongst other things. Check it out now! 

2023 is almost here and I am BEYOND excited! Are you? In the words of Issa Rae, "its feeling like me season!" I hope all of you can say that for yourselves. If you can't, don't worry, we're gonna talk about some things to focus on in 2023, I got you! 

It's been so long since we've talked, 10 months to be exact! But thats neither here nor there, IM BACK! And I am here to stay! In this episode, I am updating you on life and the lemons it tried to throw at me and how I've dodged each one...with some help of course :) Missed yal so much, enjoy the episode!

IT'S BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!!!!!!! "And the category is"...black health and wellness. Never knew there were themes, but from this point on we are acknowledging them :) Ahhh...its the most wonderful time of the year! LOL References: https://davenport.libguides.com/bhm/themes https://asalh.org/black-history-themes/

Anyone else struggle with consistency? No matter what it is, let’s figure this thang out together…please help 😬😂

Ever want to just reset and refresh? I mean that can literally happen at any time, but the start of a new year can feel like the perfect "reset" button at least it does for me. So join me this week in addressing the things we need and want to consider doing differently start now and forever! :)

I know I am not trippin right? This year came way too fast! But whatever, we are here! So let's make the very best of it, it is important to get to a place of healing and growth and actually focus on implementing the changes. Who's down for the challenge?

No FOREAL...what is a soulmate? Are you like me and starting to call BS on the term as a whole? Like seriously, throw the whole term away LOL...Oooooorrr, are you the type of person that understands and believes that soulmates are true and that everyone has 1 out there somewhere...(or 2...maybe 3? 🤷🏾‍♀️😂) Either way, this episode is all about soulmates and what they truly are, where they're hiding, and if you even have one to begin with. Let's figure this thang out together 🤗  References:  https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/soul-mate-vs-twin-flame  Cuffing Season Image Reference:  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/139541288442054158/

Our precious babies are suffering in ways that many of us are unaware of, in ways that is sure to shock us all! In this episode, we will touch on how mental health negative affects our black youth and focus on ways in which it can be aided.  References: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40653-020-00319-9 https://theconversation.com/african-american-teens-face-mental-health-crisis-but-are-less-likely-than-whites-to-get-treatment-140697

I've come to understand that mental health isn't black and white, it affects us all very differently. My experience as a black woman isn't necessarily the same for a black man. For this week's episode, we dive into how mental health affects black men and ways to find the help that they need.  References: https://www.naminys.org/images/uploads/pdfs/Souls%20of%20Black%20Men.pdf https://www.nami.org/Your-Journey/Identity-and-Cultural-Dimensions/Black-African-American

Being single is a great thing if you allow it to be! I never allowed myself to be single and to enjoy what it has to offer but once I finally did it was truly invigorating. Can you relate?

This week, I am speaking to all of my beautiful, dark brown, chocolate sistas. Do you love the skin you're in? If so, did you always or was there a time when you felt unattractive because of it? Well as a fellow chocolatey brown sista, I can say that I didn't always love the skin that I am in. In honor of Black History Month, I want to touch on a somewhat touchy subject. Let's talk!

Is it wrong to expect your friends and family to have your back and support you? Is it wrong if they don't? We often hear people say, "oh well I am busy," or "something came up, my bad." Yet that same person, had ALL the time in the world to post on instagram..etc. This episode is all about that, understanding if our feelings toward the lack of support is valid or invalid. Lets talk :) Reference:  https://www.risinginnovator.com/2019/04/how-to-deal-with-friends-and-family-who-dont-support-your-business/

Queening 101: The sperm chases the egg, not the other way around 😉 Don't chase a man sis, plain and simple! Maya Angelou says it best, "I walk into a room. Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me." ❤️👑 References: https://www.tdjakes.com/posts/if-a-man-is-interested-he-will-pursue-you Phenomenal Woman: Four Poems Celebrating Women, Book by Maya Angelou
