Conversations with Toi

We discuss the epic Verzuz TV battle between the Isley Brothers vs. Earth, Wind, and Fire. This was hosted by Steve Harvey who waited his entire life for this moment. Ya'll got to see Steve Harvey pretend he's the member of both groups

Did you hear the Nick Cannon song, No weapon featuring Gospel's angel, Kierra Clark Sheard? It's a sample from Fred Hammond's No weapon. I also mention my favorite Fred Hammond song.

Self-care for this week may surprise you because it definitely shook me.

Also as a blogger of Toitime, https://www.toitime.org I had to retire my best tool-hear that at the beginning of the show-I was way too hype.

Cheers to the weekend!

Listen forgiveness and forging relationships at the same level as before...it doesn't always happen.

We talk about counting up whether or not to forgive or not and what goes into the process and self-care through it all

Its been an entire media storm this week. Derrick Jaxn has been living an entire lie. He is a "relationship guru" who has sold a lot of women the story line of what to look forward to when they find the man of their dreams. Yet he is a living and walking nightmare.

His wife is a victim. However in her eyes....listen in!

This week we had to discuss the accountability of when parents go left. Also kids can go left too. Such as the perceived notion of the leaked snippet of Kirk Franklin and his grown son.

Can parents push kids grown or not too far? We discuss this as well as accountability of owning yourself.

This week I had a personal blow up that was seasoned from childhood silent treatment tactics.

This has been a year to remember. A year of loss and emotional ups and downs. The hardest part is not being able to see loved ones. Watching my children lose their social skills and being in the house for the betterment of the year.

The joys have been there as well. Although a large majority of my extended family had Covid-19 we were safe. Reminding myself of that point daily has been crucial.

This week's self care has been about honesty. Taking time out when necessary and doing it without guilt.

Grace we surely do need it. We need to give ourselves more grace because of the challenges of life, we have to do better at supporting ourselves better..

Trigger alert!

This notion that elders are incapable of bad vibes or even bad intentions have to be dispelled. Even with that in mind, you can disengage with a parent and not out right disrespect them. You can stand up for yourself and not hit below the belt.

We talk about this culture of embarrassing children on social media channels. It's disheartening to say the least. I understand being a parent that children are from the Try it School of life. We as parents are not supposed to act aggressively towards them.

How do you heal from a friendship break up? I discuss this as a request from a friend. People may be seasonal even if that season lasted quite some time.

First comes love than marriage, than the baby in the baby carriage or something like that.

What happens when the love of your love wants to stop having kids and you may or may not want to? Do you get your tubes tied out of his request or benefit of your health for a man who asked for your hand in marriage but isn't your husband? That man now has had more babies with his new wife because changing of minds is real..

Who makes that decision?

We explore the notion of permanent decisions with temporary folks and situations...

Its amazing for those who have a desire to experience motherhood to hold that baby for the first time. Unchecked trauma can creep almost instantly. Having to be told by a child that your delivery is of off putting can be hard to swallow.

Parenthood comes with a lot of gut checks and laying the ego down to give a child what they really need

Blac Chyna's mom goes on a rampage calling her all kinds of names and dragging her. Aren't parents supposed to protect? Can moms be jealous of their daughters or children in general-the answer to both is absolutely both! to see the dragging (strong language-watch UnwinewithTashaK on YouTube)

Boosie needs to lay low and mind the business that pays him...

Self care is important, what were this week's helps?

I interviewed Ms. Katrina Hall of Philadelphia, PA. She is an actor, director, and playwright. She is Phoenix Theatre's 2021 Virtual Artist in Residence.

Listen in as we discuss the production and the surrounding themes such as forgiveness, relationship, and how religion can sometimes influence us good or bad.

Get tickets here: http://www.thephoenixtheatrepa.com./

The play runs from Friday February 19-21st virtually!!

In Hall's adaptation of William Shakespeare's, The Winter's Tale, abandonment, loss, jealousy, and redemption all play out in their Time, across the lands of Sicilia and Bohemia. The jealous King Leontes falsely accuses his wife Hermione of infidelity with his best friend, and she dies. Leontes exiles his newborn daughter Perdita. With time at the center of this story, audiences pick back up in the story 16 years later, where audiences meet Leontes’ now grown daughter, who was raised by shepherds in her exile and falls in love with the son of Leontes’ former best friend. In Hall’s adaptation, Bohemia becomes a carnival.

“It was the play's overall oddness that initially drew me in,” said Hall about adapting this work. “The way some of the turns were just so quick and outsized in ways you don't typically see even from Shakespeare. It also inherently struck me as a woman's play, which I am generally oriented toward. The challenge of centering that aspect of it really appealed to me.”

She adds, “Among other things, The Winter's Tale is about jealousy. The way it is insidious in that it makes you believe you have clarity of vision, while the exact opposite is true. The longer it is maintained, the more progressively opaque your sight becomes. Here, in the King of Sicily's case, to tragically deadly results. For me, it is also about not only forgiveness, but what, if any, are its limits.

Enjoy the interview. I will also review the show on the blog https://www.toitime.org

We had to talk about the Gorilla Glue incident as well as Trey Songz. I am married not blind. However we do talk about adulting and the 3 things that got me through this hectic week. We all need some practical things that we can do in addition to therapy.

Happy Love Week. This week is full of emotions. Some couples fight more this week too. So don't think everyone is as in love as they post their trinkets.

Here is the Episode of my husband and I if you're finding your mate is dealing with mental health issues. The constant nagging and dissatisfaction in their life is coming off as complaining and misplaced anger. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conversations-with-toi/id1523002422?i=1000494949128
