2SIPS of T with Tamica Tanksley

May is my Birthday month and I decided to give myself the gift with lessons learned from doing something I've always been afraid to do!  Today I share how my adventure on the Schuylkill River opened up a sea of possibilities for me!  Join me for our last episode of the season for sips and tips on how to live the dream you fear will never be a reality. 

I must admit all this Ashanti and Nelly "Love2K Replay" got a girl in her feelings just a little bit.  So when I received a message from a Ghost of Boyfriend's Past asking me to call with a praying hand emoji, I thought is this a sign? And it was a NEON sign that said, I thought you blocked his number LOL?!  So against my better judgement I call and he answered.

On this episode I'm sharing a page from my recent Ex-Files with sips of encouragement on the side for my communiTy of women worth their weight in waiting for Mr. Right not Mr. Right Now.  So join me for 2SIPS of T and Tips on why Mr. Get Right is Wrong and what you can do to make it right and work for you!

Do you feel like you're always bringing up the rear, year after year? Perhaps you find yourself at the end of the line time after time and when you do get to the front the light goes out and a sign pops up that says next line please so you start all over again.  If this sounds like you then this episode is for you.   Meet me in the T-Room for sips of encouragement that will bless you with a Disney Fast Pass to the front so don't fret just focus because things are about to turn around in your favor!

On today's episode we meet Mariama Bah, a 25 year old mental health advocate and founder of Nation of Diversity an organization dedicated to addressing homelessness and promoting mental health through the transformative power of creative arts.  

Some people think speaking out of turn isn't lady like but Laurel Thatcher Urlich once said "Well behaved women seldom make history."  Mariama is definitely HERstory and today she talks about the time she found the courage to speak out of turn which gave others a chance to speak their truth in return. 

Ladies, meet me in the T-Room as we talk about the power of truth telling coupled with creativity and communal therapy.    Now grab a cup and pull on up as we love, listen and learn what inspired a little girl with a big heart to invest in the most vulnerable by creating a safe space to stand in and be healed by their truth! 

Cheers!

Remember the days of rotary phones and one way telephone lines?   Well, the only thing more annoying than the time it took to dial a telephone number was getting a busy signal.   If you find yourself struggling to answer your life's calling because of busy signals then this episode is for you.  

Did you know that when you overthink, you underperform?  And who ever said practice makes perfect lied.  Practice makes excellence while perfection makes paralysis.   These are just a few busy signals that can block your path to purpose.

It's time to clear the line and answer your life's calling  so meet me in the T-Room for sips and tips that will help you unlock the blessings that will call you to be a bigger blessing! 

Cheers!

Remember when you were a little girl and someone asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Well it's been said that a little girl with a big dream becomes a woman with vision but what they don't tell you is that everyone won't have 20/20 vision when it comes to seeing your dream.  On Today's episode I'm join by one of my favorite sistahs to the show Jo Lavern and we're sharing how our big girl dreams were shattered by someone else's vision.  Ladies sip with us as we share how we healed the broken heart of our Dreamgirl and helped her become a woman with vision! 

Cheers!

One of my favorite quotes is "Leap and the net will appear" and while I consider myself a strong woman of faith I've made the difficult discovery that I rarely take a leap of faith.  On this episode I'm spilling all the T on how 3 C's (clarity, confidence and courage) can make you an "A" student in the school of life.  Only if you want to leap into your best year yet, I suggest you grab a cup and pull on up and meet me in the T-Room for an overflow of sips and tips!

It's been said that a single woman especially over the age of 40 has a better chance of being struck by lightening than getting married.  But what they don't tell you is that if marriage is the end goal many of us could have gotten that goal over the goal line long ago.   On today's T I'm enjoying sips with my play cousin Farrah about being a hopeful romantic while still enjoying the often unspoken joys and benefits of living your best single life!  

Helen Reedy's song I am Women (Hear me Roar) still rings true for women over 50 year later.  Ladies it's time to turn up the volume on your voice and let your presence be known.  We didn't win the right to vote by being silent and we won't achieve equal pay by being quiet.  Silence is a cost we can't afford to pay so Ladies let's get ready to ROAR!  In this episode I share why it's important advocate for ourselves and our sistahs! 

Oftentimes vulnerability is seen as a weakness but it's not.  Learning to tell the real from the fakes starts with opening your heart so you can heal from heartbreak and build better relationships.  And the first person you need to be real with how you feel isn't your family, friends or partner it's you! In this episode I'm sharing that good T and Tips about the value in being vulnerable.
