Welcome back to another wonderful episode of "Candid conversation with friends." This month guests were Jessica, Jeanelle and Shermonica who are all no strangers to "Chronicles of a Virgo podcast." In this episode, we discussed the overall importance of healing and self-discovery, personal experiences from our own healing journeys, and maintaining the proper mindset vs having a "fake it till you make it mindset" while healing. We were also able to give our own insight and thoughts on the overturing of Roe vs Wade and so much more! 





Our goal for this conversation, was to continue raising positive awareness about mental health in the black community and to shed light on the importance of being consistent in your own healing journey. Please tap into this episode and get your cup filled with some love and motivation.

This week, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with certified life and chronic pain coach Ms. Serita Valmond. In this episode, we discussed Serita's healing journey after being diagnosed with chronic pain after being hit by a drunk driver. After being told by numerous doctors that there was nothing else that could be done for her treatment and tons of medication, Serita decided to take her healing into her own hands and learn ways to approach her health and pain management. 





Serita continues to work proactively to live a healthy lifestyle all while helping others to regain their own personal power over their lives to heal. As an advocate for men and women of the black community and POC, Serita strives on helping her clients and others to learn healthy holistic alternatives to their healing as well as support her clients through stress management, nutrition, mindfulness and so much more! If you are someone that is battling the constant stressors of living with chronic illness or pain, then this episode is for you!

Zion and Storm both currently live in the neighborhood where this racially targeted tragedy took place. Zion and Storm was able to discuss the current culture of their neighborhood and how many others have been affected and ways other people can help their community.  





On May 14, 2022, a armed 18 year old entered the Tops market in Buffalo, New York on Jefferson Ave and opened gunfire killing 10 individuals and injuring 3 others. The shooter targeted this Black community and streamed the encounter online in which has been taken down. This incident has been labeled as a "hate crime" and "an act of racially motivated violent extremism" by the Department of Justice. Please continue to keep the community, victims and families of the eastside of Buffalo New York as well as Uvalde Texas in your prayers and please lets continue to raise awareness for the voiceless and those in these communities that are in need of help and resources.

In life, we have all faced situations and heartbreaks that have left us feeling stuck and even filled with rage. We did everything just to get by and in the meantime held so much resentment and anger towards others and even ourselves. We neglect ourselves and allow the inner critic in us to hold a place of negativity and hurt for others that soon diminish the hope for future positive relationships and even growth within ourselves.   




In this episode, I am joined by the beautiful Shaylah Monique the host of “The Honesty Hour podcast" as we dive deep into getting out of our own ways and learning the true meaning of forgiveness. Remember, forgiveness is supposed to be for you and not other people! Tap into this episode as we walk you on a embracing journey of cultivating and elevating through forgiving.
