ALL THINGS DVN

How many times have you told yourself, “I’ll step forward when I feel ready” or “I just need to be better, and then I’ll deserve it”? The weight of not enough lingers in the spaces between who we are and who we think we need to be. It shows up in self-sabotage, in the fear of failure and success, in the perfectionism that keeps us stuck.

But what if the truth has been here all along? What if you don’t need to earn your worth? What if you are already enough—without conditions, without proving, without waiting for permission?

In this episode, we break down the deep roots of self-doubt, the stories that have shaped our unworthiness, and the power of reclaiming ourselves. Because healing begins with truth. And the truth is: YOU. ARE. ENOUGH.

Affirmations to Hold Close:

✨ I release the need to prove my worth. I am enough just as I am.

✨ I am not my fears, my doubts, or my past. I am whole, worthy, and capable.

✨ I honor my journey, knowing that every step forward is a testament to my strength.

In this episode of Hidden Thorns: The Names They Gave Us, The Stories They Told, we explore the profound impact of the names and labels we’ve been given—by our parents, families, and society—and how they shape the stories we live by. These words, whether uplifting or painful, often become the foundation of our identity and self-worth. Join me as we examine how these labels have influenced us, and discuss ways to reclaim our personal narrative, heal from past wounds, and redefine the names that no longer serve us.

Have you ever felt like you were never someone’s first choice? Like you were hidden, unchosen, or only valued when it was convenient for someone else? This episode dives deep into what it means to be the second option—not just in relationships, but in all areas of life.

I share my personal experiences of feeling unseen and the emotional, physical, and spiritual impact of accepting less than I deserved. We’ll explore the deeper layers of self-worth, the patterns that keep us stuck in these dynamics, and how we can break free to embrace real love—starting with self-love.

This conversation isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. I also reflect on the resilience of Frida Kahlo, an artist who transformed her pain into power and never settled for being unseen.

So pull up a seat at my table, and let’s grow well together.

On today's episode, we talk about "What happens in the house, stays in the house". The phrase that forms a thin line between home privacy and home trauma. While the home should have privacy because it is your sacred place, but when there was trauma in your physical home or an environment you inhabited, we tend to keep that locked up in OUR HOMES; our mind, body and spirit, not releasing it so that we can heal and grow.

So, let's get deep. Thank you for taking a seat at my table. You are always welcomed.

Today, we engage in a meaningful discussion about the process of rebranding oneself on a spiritual level. This transformation goes far beyond merely waking up each day and developing new habits or routines.

To successfully embark on this journey, it is essential that we first undergo a thorough spiritual cleanse and allow ourselves to flow freely in this transformative experience.

We need to gather all of our unique gifts and innovative ideas that we often struggle to bring to fruition, alongside the burdens of our past woes and challenging situations that have left their residue on our lives.

These remnants, which have embedded themselves in our beings and created invisible cords, must be addressed to truly rebrand ourselves. We can do this by actively seeking wisdom, guidance, and a deeper spiritual closeness.

By the end of this intentional fast, I sincerely hope that we will all emerge stronger and truly "rebranded" in ways that surpass anything we have experienced before!

Today’s episode is focusing on the intriguing topic of the “annual” adult week of the New Year.

We delve deeper into this often non-recognized holiday, exploring its significance and the reasons behind its lack of widespread acknowledgment. Additionally, we encourage ourselves to be mindful and hold ourselves accountable by recognizing our individual triggers and personal patterns.

I challenge you to extend your awareness beyond just this adult week and strive to create a consistent practice of holding ourselves accountable, as well as working on changing our habits and behaviors.

This approach will promote our growth and help us find balance within SELF.

Happiest New Year to you!

On today's episode, I delve into the significant impact that the recent election results had on women of color, with a specific focus on black women.

The detailed results of the election statistics illuminated the vital role played by the black woman vote, but they also revealed the underlying sentiments held by many people across America.

Unfortunately, this outcome is not entirely shocking; it is profoundly hurtful because we are now compelled to confront a harsh reality that we have long tried to ignore or bury deep within.

The fact remains that we are among the most disrespected groups in America, and it is imperative that we unite and stand together rather than allowing ourselves to be divided.

We are ONE in a country that is often split, and together we will not only rise but thrive. We will WIN!
