AccountableLove Podcast

Wounded By Wounds podcast features Mahagony B. She is working on a series of films, books, and short videos addressing our traumas. “Wounded” is the name of the series. Her purpose is to start the healing process by giving people a platform to face these traumas openly and honestly. The goal is to examine the scars people talk about, don’t discuss, and don’t know they are experiencing.

Yet, Mahagony and Aziz will be talking about her wounds in this podcast discussion. She has experienced most people’s traumas in her lifetime, but she refuses to be her traumas. So, Mahagony takes the first step by showing the world the importance of showing every aspect of ourselves.

If you aren’t examining your wounds after this, I don’t know what would cause you to examine them. It took courage to allow Aziz to ask on camera, but Mahagony was willing and able. I hope you listen, learn, and apply.

Check out this podcast, examine your wounds, start healing and stop being Wounded.

Mahagony is planning a tour in 2022. She will show the film, answer questions, encourage people to share their experiences, and hopefully, the book will be available for purchase. She is very passionate about this project because she knows everyone is a work in progress, but they must be progressing.

Big Things Are Coming!

Enjoy!

Why Words Need Context In Relationships? We use words like Change, Judgment, Cheater, Joy, Partner, and Friend without giving direction to form a genuine connection. All these words have definitions, but they are vague without contexts. Believing our general statements have clarity without context is like moving our mouths without words. We are not communicating effectively. In this week’s discussion on “The AccountableLove Podcast,” Aziz will further discuss the importance of taking the time to forge a connection to the words we use. 

Change: There is a variety of ways we can change. We can change to improve our standing or change to worsen our livelihood. Change is happening all around us. So, when we use “change,” we should provide context.  

Judgment: Judgment is required to make good or bad choices. People typically use “judgment” to say someone is being overly critical. Yet, we are constantly judging; who, what, where, when! We are “judging,” deciding who is being judgmental. Words Need Context!

Cheater: We cheat physically, emotionally, and psychologically. How do we deem who is a cheater and who is not? we need context to explain we can call someone a “cheater.” 

Joy: Joy has a definition, but sometimes we use it to express feelings of revenge, hurting someone, and hiding pain from a breakup. Joy as a stand-alone means to bring relief or pleasure. Without context, how do we know when we are misusing a word.

Partner: Partner can be romantic, business, workout, etc. When we use the word independently, the receiving parties are left to discern the relationship and can cause complications. We need the identifying ord to give it context and show a connection.

Friend: Like the word partner, friendship has degrees. Everyone is not our friend, nor can they be, which further supports we all must “judge.” Because of that “friend” standard, we must give it context. The context allows us to identify the traits that separate friend from foe from a stranger.

From Romantic Partners to friends and co-parents

We tend to look at our relationships in a neat, orderly fashion. Our spouses aren’t our friends, our friends could never be our spouses, and co-parents can’t be friends. We disagree. We believe it is healthier to see our spouse as a friend before romantic partners if we single our friends as possible spouses. Co-parents can continue to be friends after a disconnect romantically. Aziz & Jasmine are proof. This week’s podcast discusses how we went from romantic partners to friends and co-parents.

AccountableLove is looking at why someone is in your life and if they continue to have value in your life. We encourage our listeners to listen closely to why the choices were made and reexamine their choices. You don’t have to be enemies with someone you Love because the tended relationship didn’t work out.

So, listen, learn, and apply. Enjoy this week’s Podcast From Romantic Partners to friends and co-parents.

When “Maintaining Accountable Relationships,” multiple variables come into play. In this podcast, Aziz highlights four important ways to identify accountable relationships. The four-component Mr. LoveSnob will address “Knowing Who You Are,” “Knowing Who They Are,” ” Forming and Honoring Agreements,” and ” Understanding Where You Disagree.” All four of these indicators will assure your relationships remain healthy and Accountable.

Understand your likes and dislikes, dos and don’ts, Your hows, whys, whats. Being self-aware is an essential component in joining and maintaining accountable relationships.

First encounters are a great tone starter. Ask questions that allow you to understand their core values. What people believe will ultimately make their decisions. Also, discuss preference, hobbies, future goals, how much the past affects them, etc. Understanding what makes them tick is vital. 

Forming and Honoring Agreements: 

Once each person can identify each other identities, it is time to build the agreements. When discussing arrangements, both people must start with their convictions. All the attributes that make them who they are. What they will not change or adjust. After all, beliefs are understood, start planning a life together—for example: what they can enjoy together and what is cool to do apart.

Understand Where You Disagree: 

If you avoid conflict, it will create unhealthy relationships. When you disagree, discuss those disagreements as soon as possible. Everyone must be on the same page when talking about faith, future settlement plans, children, and purpose. Tv shows, books, vacations, and some topic discussions can remain parallel. Yet, the ultimate goal is to come to agreements.

If you are on social media, you already know that Jerri will not be joining me this season. Jerri will work more behind the scene than in front of the camera. She juggled podcasting, a 9 to 5, accountable relationship-building sessions, and daily messages. We thought it would benefit the company if she weren’t spread thin. How can our message be Love Is A Group Journey if we do not care about one of our own?

So listen, learn, and apply.

Enjoy The AccountableLove Podcast.

Lean into our relationships for AccountableLove is a podcast all about leaning in when you’re afraid. The LoveSnobs examine five reasons people tend to fear leaning into their relationships. The five ways are heartbreak, death, happiness, commitment, and Love. 

We tend to close up when we are most vulnerable when it’s time to open up more.  

Heartbreak: We are still breathing, but we feel like we are dying. Heartbreak causes us to retreat in our minds and lose track of our hearts. The pain is so intense and actual. We start to question everyone in our life, but they are the people who should be supporting us. The pain is a sign we need to lean in, not close up. The LoveSnobs will give tips and encouragement regarding how to lean into our relationships during heartbreak. 

Death:  When someone we Love passes away. Our heart leaves our chest, and we can’t comprehend the loss in our minds. Either we are in a state depressive or denial state. Communication is the last thought. Yet, it is the healthiest course of action ( no matter how many people state the opposite.) Lean into your friends, spouse, and family. 

Happiness: So many people avoid happiness because they connect it to boredom. We watch many shows where “happy people” are obnoxious. Therefore, when we feel any signs of joy. We default to drama. Our state of happiness isn’t the end. It is the beginning. Lean into your satisfaction and try the maintain it over a lifetime. 

Commitment: What is the goal in relationships? Is it to remain alone for a lifetime, jumping from one relationship to the next? or is it to find people to build a relationship. Commitment is the goal, not a prison. We have to start seeing calling people our friends and someone our spouse as the destination. Lean into our relationships! Settle down, unpack, and see your future.

Love:  Love, the famous want but fear! We are scared to say it for two reasons; fear of pushing someone away or disappointing someone. Guess what? If Love is present, they will reciprocate the faith, and you would disappoint someone you Love (not intentional) So, what’s the fear? Nothing! It is all in our heads. I Love you means we are both invested in making things work. Don’t run! Walk forward!

These five reasons are why The LoveSnobs believe most of us fear leaning in. This podcast gives some reason to lean into our relationships when you are going through heartbreak and death, experiencing happiness, working toward a commitment, and ready to honor Love.

Are You An Accountable Parent? As parents, we decided to have children without their vote. They don’t choose to have life, but we expect them to be grateful we gave them life. As parents, we believe our children owe us for given birth to them. When it is the opposite, we owe them for allowing us to be parents. 

Our children will ultimately show their gratitude when they become adults themselves when they acknowledge all that we put into their upbringing and are ready to have children themselves. And the cycle continues! Our gratitude will come solely from the adults our children become. How they forge relationships, and they become Accountable Adults and parent themselves. Isn’t this the goal? 

This podcast asks the question, 

To answer that question, 

we must ask and answer six questions:

Support is an accountable parent’s best friend. Suppose we couldn’t give ourselves a chance to breathe. We will unintentionally suffocate our children. Love Is A Group Journey and Raise Children Takes A Village!

Never become blind to your children’s strengths or weaknesses. See them in their entirety. Please get to know them fully to support them where they need support and encourage them where all they need is encouragement. 

Children should be seen, and they need to be heard. As they develop, we must develop as parents. No more, Do it all for them. It becomes more of giving and take. Allow your children to become part of the process.

We should encourage everyone to get on the same page. Not just our children but every adult who is in their lives. Our children must be getting the same message from multiply voices. Direction is the key to decision making.!

It may be a cliche, but Knowledge is a superpower. Understanding each development benchmark makes you a superhero. They will assist you with making informed decisions when issues arise. Yes, people are different, but we all have similarities, which allows us to predict behavior. Arm yourself!

What is the Parent-Child Dynamic? It is a relationship between a child and parent/s. The Parent-child relationship is an investment into our legacy and the framework of conceiving an accountable adult. It recognizes that we are an us, and we both enhance each other’s quality of life. 

If not, listen to this podcast and start working on becoming one.

Let’s be clear here with Mahagony B. The LoveSnobs are joined again by Mahagony B. of Mo’ Art Entertainment. If you watched all four seasons of The AccountableLove Podcast, you know Mahagony because she appeared every season. So, it only fits she be the first guest on season four, “Let’s Be Clear Here!”

The LoveSnobs ask Mahagony on the podcast to discuss the importance of “being clear” in our relationships. They also discuss how that clarity starts with matching Core Values. They discuss parenting, friendships, and partnerships. Mahagony expresses the joys and disappointments in building these relationships.

First, Mahagony shares her connection with her two adult daughters and how both daughters take different paths to build their core values. She was a young parent and wanted her children to have a strong foundation. While creating that foundation, she played the bad guy. She endured her children, calling her closed-minded, rigid, and unfair. As Adults, they now see the method to her madness.

Next, The LoveSnobs and Mahagony discuss building friendships. She recently challenged herself to complete a week of silence. During her silence, she realized how much her friend depended on her voice. She also noticed how angry they got when she was at their beck and called, causing her to rethink her approach to picking friends.

Last, They broached the topic of romantic partnerships. Mahagony stated she was stuck between meeting women who share her sense of humor or her core values. They never had both. She also discusses today’s dating scene, being a hopeful romantic, and never losing hope in finding a romantic partner.

Lets be clear here with Mahagony B isn’t just one woman’s relationship journey. It is one woman using her journey to encourage more people to build Accountable Relationships, hopefully.

“We Expect People To Lie In Our Relationships!” The Lovesnobs (Aziz & Jerri) never make any statements without explaining. This Podcast will provide that explanation. Take a step back. How many people do we see justifying why they lie or are being lied to or avoiding relationships altogether because people lie? Too many! 

We decided to discuss this topic because it’s time to repair our expectations. People do lie, but the person you are starting relationships with has not lied to you. We shouldn’t enter any connections creating the standard so low. Yes, high expectations mean the fall is more significant. Yet, we must believe we deserve the best. 

The LoveSnobs always start at the top and work never to fall. We encourage everyone to join us. Accountable Relationships are all about peaks and spending a lifetime preventing the valleys. In this podcast, The LoveSnobs will answer four questions. 

Answering these four questions will help people be more mindful while encouraging our listens to be a part of genuine relationships.

” Identifying who has a superiority complex in our relationships.”  In this podcast, The LoveSnobs explains, “What it means to have a Superiority Complex in our relationships?” We illustrate why it is crucial to it as a problem. As well as determine if you, your spouse, or friends suffer from this infliction. We give examples from our lives, movies, life, etc. Each example will provide our listeners further clarity on the topic. As a result, they will start reflecting on themselves as well as their relationships.

One example, The LoveSnobs reference is the movie “Something Borrowed.” We illustrate how movies paint the antagonist as the outgoing, go-getter who gets what they want—in contrast, painting the protagonist as the silent, introverted pushover who hopes to have the courage to go after what they want in life. We ask our listeners/viewers, Who indeed has a Superiority Complex?

The other points, The LoveSnobs, discuss are:
