A Personal Reflection
Issa solo-sode again y’all. Mainly because I needed some space to reflect out loud. I hope that my honest reflection allows space for you to slow down and reflect too. This has been A WEEK! Murders. Crimes against Black and Brown bodies hit harder and harder every time. I struggle with what I need to do/say because I mostly feel like there’s nothing to say. I’M GRIEVING. Because I’m a mom. Because I hate that my communities keep being attacked. Because….because living in the USA is really elfin’ hard and scary.
I'm trying to align myself with sources of light. Please take time to do the same,
xoxo, Vanessa Sujey.

MomPreneurSh!t
Here's a solo episode with me, myself, & I---Vanessa Sujey! I'ma walk you through some past and present samples of how I had to check myself (before I wrecked myself--ayyyyy 80s/90s babies! I hear your chuckles LOL) and make sure I was/am extending myself grace, forgiveness, & compassion.
This episode isn't all about me though. I've got some questions and pieces that can get your thoughts going on how you can extend those same things toward your present and future Self.
