Giving Yourself Grace with Codie Elaine Oliver (Episode 25)
Hey guys! On today's episode, I have invited Codie, co-founder of Black Love + director of the Black Love Docuseries, to answer the following three questions: [1] Who/What did you want to be when you grow up? [2] Who are you now? [3] Who do you want to be when you "grow up?" I love so much of what she had to share, and I even learned quite a bit more than what I knew about her. Listen in as she reminds us to have grace with ourselves. Happy Hump Day, y'all!

Perfect Mom Syndrome with Shayla Caldwell (Episode 22)
Whether or not you're a mom, I think it's safe to say many of us have an ideal of what makes a "good" or "perfect" mom based on our own experiences with our mom, being a mom and/or observing motherhood in others. In this episode, I sit down with Shayla (@junkdrawermom) to discuss what she calls "Perfect Mom Syndrome," and how she suggests we remedy it. I love this woman, and I believe you all will grow fond of her as well!
Her Bio:
Shayla Caldwell is the creator of JunkDrawerMom, a YouTube channel that focuses on sharing her experiences and challenges with motherhood. She is passionate about inspiring women and moms to be their most authentic self and to be confident in their ability to overcome fear and insecurity, and has coined the phrase “hiding is overrated”.
Most recently, she has been featured in Melanated Gold Homeschool Magazine and the Mommifacted blog. She’s looking forward to the next steps on her journey of parenting and being able to help women do the same nationwide. You can find out more about Shayla by following her on Instagram (@junkdrawermom), visiting her website www.junkdrawermom.com, or subscribing to her YouTube channel www.youtube.com/junkdrawermom.

Little Fires Everywhere with Jenaye Arbelo-Figueroa, Ann Givens & Carmelita Rogers (Episode 14)
Based on Celeste Ng's 2017 bestseller, "Little Fires Everywhere" follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. In this episode, we look take a look at the theme of motherhood in this series. This series is full of so many themes that include: motherhood, surrogacy, race, class, sexuality, art, adolescence, choice/abortion, finance, white matriarchy, etc. However, this month the focus is motherhood. In this conversation, if you've seen the series for yourself, you will know we were not able to capture even half the conversations we could've had on motherhood. However, we got the conversation rolling. There are definitely spoilers in this episode, so if you have not watched the series and plan to, you will want to hold off on listening to this conversation. Enjoy!

The Courage to Stay with Anjuli Paschall (Episode 10)
In this episode I welcome last week's WCW, Anjuli Paschall. She recently released her first book, Stay. Here is a little note about her book:
"As women, we are exhausted. Our hearts are being wrung out to dry--squeezed and yanked in every direction. We take care of everyone but ourselves. We've gotten lost in bedtime routines and our Costco lists. We have lost our voices in the storm of everyday life. We need to be reminded to reach inward and heed the quiet voice whispering, Stay."
There was so much goodness in this episode, I hope you all will take a moment to listen in as we discuss trauma, friendships and courage!

Yvette, The People Pleaser! (Episode 1)
In this episode I share with you all my discovery that I am a people pleaser. A couple of months ago, my husband & I were able to sit in on a session with Milan & Kay Yerkovich, the authors of How We Love. In their book, they kind of take a deep dive into the ways that we love and the root of it. Today I take a deep dive into the chapter that highlights the love style of the pleaser.
