I discuss the growth I have experienced in these past couple weeks and how I feel like I am preparing myself for the next chapter in my life of growing in age and starting a family. I also give an update on my transition process and you can follow me on my social media to keep up with it more. This week I have a brand new artist for you who goes by the name of TD Pettway, his flow is captivating and he speaks truth in his lyrics so make sure to stream his music and follow him to catch his wave!

I'm baaaaaaaccck! Today I have brand new artist joining the growing list of Naturally on a Wave artist who are making waves in the independent lane. Joining me on the podcast is a soulful RnB powerhouse by the name of The Alona Decade. From the ATL to Rhode Island she spoke her truth about the journey from big city and loads of connections to small town close communities who seldom let new people into the already functioning circle. We talked about her background in music from her family, the obstacles she's had to face on her path, and we also discussed her latest single 'So Good' which is out now streaming everywhere. Make sure to follow The Alona Decade for brand new music coming soon which we talked about as well and stream her current music now to catch her wave and add some soul into your playlist!

After a long Grown up week and facing my communication fears I break down what it has been like communicating as an adult vs as a kid, how I am learning to understand others who express themselves to me, and why I some times get afraid to express myself even if I know it could turn out to just be all in my head. Make sure to subscribe and stay tuned to the end for some brand new music for the Naturally on a Wave segment. This week I got some dope afro-beats vibe for you straight out of Lagos with his versatile sound, Bolaji the Prime will add some spice to your playlist so make sure to stream his music and follow him to stay up with new drops!

Welcome back to another week of Grown Up life and independent music with me. This week I'm sharing my thoughts about learning how to do a reset from my perspective. I talk about why I think it is important to look at things in your life that you can change, what can potentially come from making those decisions, and I share my journey of what I have been doing to reset things in my life in order to prepare myself for the next level of opportunities in store. This week I have brand new N.O.W music from the artist known as Hazok who is straight out of New York with the flow. Follow him and check out his Youtube to stream his music!

Back again with more adulting and more learning. Today I confess that although I have made it this far in my life I am admitting today I have no idea what I am doing. As I am approaching new journey's, new people, new jobs, and new relationships I am figuring out the hard way of trying to make it all make sense together. I discuss feeling pressure from society to show off "success" on social media, figuring our new adulting levels like throwing parties asa grown up, and of course all the while taking in the understanding of a soon to be new path of parenting. Make sure to check out the N.O.W interview with Your Man Alex Smith and stream his latest album Slow Burn out now everywhere! Tune in next week for some brand new music on the way!!!

Disclaimer: This episode contains touches on subjects that will definitely be sensitive to children and those who think we don't have a problem here in America. Today I am joined by pancreatic cancer survivor Matthew. We opened the dialogue about the drug/opiod addiction which has been a serious problem many struggle with and it's getting worse. Matthew tells us his story of addiction and his testimony about how discovering Club Nirvana literally changed his everyday life now. This is a subject close to my heart because I have a family member who struggles with drug abuse and it is the hardest to watch the one you love go through a cycle of abuse. If you or someone you know is seeking help for substance abuse reach out to SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357. Stay tuned to the end and check out new N.O.W music from the artist Your Man Alex Smith.Go follow him on social media and stream his latest album Slow Burn out now!
