Because Life Can Be a Niche

We sit down with Egypt and Rita McWilliams, the dad and stepmom of Atlanta's hot boyband, M3. The music industry is tough, and managing and producing teen sensations isn't for the fainthearted, but this beautifully blessed, blended family makes it look easy. They share some of the secret sauce ingredients to the their music industry journey, faith, parenting, maintaining balance and keeping the "happy" going in their marriage.

This year has been one of adjustments. We've cancelled travel plans, rearranged events, signed up for virtual learning and learned to live with a new way of doing things. Honestly, I thought we would be allowed to roam about the earthly cabin freely again, but here we are some eight months later and entering flu season. We changed the game plan altogether for Thanksgiving. I was supposed to host our extended family this year, and instead I've issued a raincheck as several family members have compromised immune systems. It wasn't what we expected, but we have accepted it. This time is more about spending time together, serving others and thanking God for all He's done and is doing, and those are things that we cherish every day. What about you? How have your plans changed? Get in the comments and let us know how you're impacted this year.

This pandemic has changed the game for so many things. If election season wasn't already a high-stress event in and of itself, add in the new moves the pandemic has added and it's a season where I can't get enough woosah and hot tea. We recorded this episode on Wednesday, Nov. 4, where I share some post-election day thoughts about how we're navigating this unpredictable season and how I had to step-up my parenting game on the political process. This pandemic isn't just about COVID-19. It's another pandemic that we're dealing with - the humanity pandemic. With two curious kiddos watching it unfold, I had to reach deep in my back-hip for real-talk conversation. We can't Pollyanna our way through this, so here we go.

Get in the comments. How has this election season differed for you? If you have kiddos, what are you teaching them about where we go from here?

Family, friends, relationships, situationships, life, work and a pandemic. Sometimes keeping it all together looks near impossible. You're not in this alone. While you're taking care of all the things, put taking care of your mental health at the top of the list, too. I did it about a year before losing my dad to cancer, but oh how I wish I had done it sooner. The Pandemic Revelations series continues. Come on in the living room and let's talk about getting your mind right.

We sit down with the birthday guy - my 13-year-old son, Bryant, for some uncensored conversation about what life has been like so far. Thirteen years ago, I left the hospital with a few swaddle blankets, a big A bill and a brand new baby. Neither of us knew what to expect or what we were in for, but here we are out here living and learning as we go. Hear from the kiddo's perspective about my parenting and his kidding so far. Come on in my childhood bedroom for some laughs and lessons with the one who first made me a mom.

Everything happens for a reason, even the setbacks and inconveniences of this season. If you're like me, the pandemic has changed the game on plans, relationships, finances, parenting, dating, vacations, you name it. If I sat here long enough, I could find fifty-leven reasons to be disappointed, or even sad about things not turning out the way I thought they would. There is no escaping reality when the world is closed. I can't day-trip, spa-day or shop my situation away. So, I embraced it instead. Come on in the living room and let's have some tea and real talk about embracing the setbacks.

Tea of the Episode is Paris because I totally forgot to say the name while recording. This tired mama brain was in overload, especially with my kiddos running through the house like they missed the Fortnite bus.

We're continuing our Pandemic Revelations series over some tea and real talk with Beauty & Fashion maven, D'Veda Ferrell, owner and founder of In a Blink Eyelashes.

This episode is packed with gems for all the single and not-so-single ladies! We talk about the value of embracing singlehood, even in a pandemic.There's nothing wrong with being boo'd up, in fact, we encourage it. But if you're single, the pandemic is the perfect time to connect with God to find your purpose. If you're married and feeling like you're not living out the purpose God has for you, this show has something for you, too.

Then, we get down to business and little things you can start doing today to change your life. D'Veda shares how one step took her from $0 in the bank to owning multiple businesses and turning a profit, even in a pandemic. You don't want to miss this. Plus, we have some beauty giveaways, including a Lip Gloss Starter Kit, retail value of $60!

Watch the show on the YouTube channel to find out how you can win.
