It’s been two years since I’ve been out of corporate America and one year since I was thrusted out of the "upper middle class" due to not being able to find adequate paying jobs.

There is a generation of us, Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980 that, I believe, are the closest targets in this new economic normal of the have’s and the have nots. Sure, most people I know are not affected by this lackluster job market nor the high cost of living because they have it. But here is the thing, it happened to me and its silently happening to others within our generation and others (e.g Gen Z,) where we are being phased out of the job market, housing market etc. and faced with a very different reality than the one we have been building for the last 10, 15, 20, 30 years... 

 I just want to send out a quick PSA for you to keep your head on a swivel and most importantly to be prepared, not scared.💜

#PODCAST 

In this episode I talk about my uncle’s recent passing and how his unconventional lifestyle was an example of  authenticity  for me and a reminder that people can change but more often than not, are unlikely to. 

I have a 1 day challenge to encourage you to be exactly who you are and give others the space to be exactly who they are. 

Sometimes the struggles of being an adult and ordinary life can seem like the only thing going on. I for one, have wanted to just not participate in life as I say,  but then I’m reminded that life ebbs and flows, there is a bigger picture and I am a part of that bigger picture, no matter how crappy I feel. 

I noticed a pattern in my life that consisted of four seasons:

1. Growing Season 
2. The Goal/Mountaintop 
3. Have (5) Seats 
4. The Valley 

In this episode I talk about each of the four seasons. If you need a little pick me up or encouragement to keep going, Check out this latest episode. 

There aren’t many things that we all can say we need. Air, water, food and REST are the exception. We ALL need rest. I am sharing what I am learning on this journey to living a rest based lifestyle, Tips so that you can invite more rest into your life and how rest is so much more than sleep, it’s a mindset and a state of being.

I'm wrapping this up.

In part 2 of this real talk I get into what faith is like for me and what I've observed with the religions of the world. 

In today's episode, I open up about what has been on my mind concerning my world perspective, what I believe the point of life is and how faith is not for the faint of heart. 

My Aunt has  been a nun for 70 years. Many people have never known a nun let alone a black nun. I spent time with her on a recent visit to Cleveland, Ohio and wanted to share a snippet of a candid conversation we had. She drops some gems  on race, children, self love, kindness. and more. Just a lil something to break the monotony..... 

My friend of 11 years tried to fight me and I'm here to talk about what led up to that moment and how I handled the situation in our first real talk of season 2. 

 Who wants to stay the same and deal with the same personal struggles year after year? Not us! So lean in to discomfort and embrace your own growing season!
