  • Baby Mama

    I don't know if you all feel this way but sometimes it feels like we are moving backwards as a society. What do we think of the phrase "Baby Mama" because I know my mom would feel disrespected being called that. I might be old-school but when it comes to having children, I think you need to make sure you have your partner's love and support before you commit to that. It might not always be possible, but let's try are best to take a step back and not rush these relationships.

  • Don’t Let Them Tell You No!

    Alright, Alright, Alright! On this episode I am talking about what “No” means to me! For those people chasing your dreams, sometimes you need to breath life into your own vision so stop listening to the negative opinions of those around you. Put your plan on paper and go get it. Personally, I don’t understand “no” because there is always a way to overcome those obstacles if you put in the work. Take a breath, get yourself together and execute your vision.

  • Don't Let Other People Define Your Destiny

    I am back and I'm on my mission to help my fellow dreamers. This episode is for those entrepreneurs and those go getters! You don't need to share your dreams and aspirations with everybody because they may hit you with some negativity. Don't let other people tell you how to live your life because they may not believe in you and the vision you have. There is only one you so start living the life you want to live.

  • Stop for the Ambulance

    Why don't we all just learn the rules of the road. The next time you see or hear an ambulance, STOP! To the man behind me in the F150 the other day, please don't just lean on the horn when we have to pull over for a potential emergency. Have some common sense and don't act a fool because there could be somebody in that ambulance thats in dire need. Why are some people so focused on themselves that they would put their impatience before someone's life?

  • Acceptance

    You heard it here today! I want you start practicing acceptance. It’s time to start accepting people for who the the are and more importantly I need you to accept yourself. God made me who I am so why would I go out of my my way to be something I’m not. Today we live in a world where everyone is trying to be perfect so stop comparing yourself to people on the internet and start loving who you are. Embrace your imperfections because that’s what makes you unique.

  • First of All

    If you are in an argument, do not start it off by saying "First of All." This gives a way the element of surprise. Find something else to say rather than making this big proclamation. You don't have to be dramatic just give someone the facts and get over it. Saying "First of All" sets a negative tone to the conversation so let's try to just keep it simple and be direct.

  • Just Get Over It

    I am back for another juicy episode! Today's episode is all about just "getting over it." Nobody wants to hear you complaining so you better start changing your thought process because life doesn't wait for people who sit around and complain. So flip the script and don't dance around your problems, confront them.

  • Summer Body

    Stop talking about your summer body! Your summer body doesn’t happen and it’s been all winter so how come all of sudden you are rushing into shape? Just be happy with who you are and know that changing your life doesn’t just happen overnight. Also, be careful with these risky shortcuts and plastic surgery! Let’s just start exercising more and if you want that summer body, you better be working on it all winter long.

  • Assassination of the English Language

    People are speaking crazy and lazy these days and what happened to using proper English? Let me run through some words that are frequently mispronounced. For example, it’s not “Valentimes Day” it’s “Valentines Day” and it’s not “Liberry” it’s “Library.” I’m not an English expert but y’all better stop tearing up this language!
