Mama, May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we are all up in it! I love this month because it’s all about awareness—no one’s asking us to fix it or even take action. But if you are a person that hasn't sought help for any issues, any trauma, any ill that you may have, then this isn't judgment. This month is all about taking another look at where your trauma lies and how you can possibly make it disappear by doing the work of wellness and healing.

Today, I’m talking to Kaywanda Lamb, an author, a speaker, a blogger, and an incredible single mama. Kaywanda started her professional journey when her boys were babes and has spent the last 16 years showing other women that they can parent, thrive, and win.

Tune in and listen to episode 72 of Mamaste with Tanika Ray. Kaywanda is telling me about why dating shouldn’t be transactional, learning to be a single mom, and what we’re missing out on by not learning a second language.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• Trauma doesn’t always have to begin with a capital T—sometimes it’s the quiet stuff (05:11)
• A little about Kaywanda and her love affair with the Spanish language (14:34)
• You can be proud to be American and still scared about the direction the country is headed in (26:07)
• How Kaywanda tackled the George Floyd conversation with her sons (29:58)
• You can do it on your own and kill it—you shouldn’t have to settle for someone who’s not committed to you (36:50)
