Cool Ass Conversations

In this episode of Cool Ass Conversations, hosts Ashua Nicole, Big Gee, and Johnny Holmes a.k.a. Apostle discuss the concept of timing and how we evolve as humans, such as transitioning from childhood to adulthood. These ideas have a basis in social conditioning and agreements. Our culture defines 'appropriate' timing for some things, but we don't have to agree with these social structures. How do you understand timing? What does 'right timing' mean to you? There is a relationship between timing and manifestation and the secret lies in the power of your FOCUS! Listen in as we get into the dynamics of timing, manifesting and commanding our focus.

In this episode of Cool Ass Conversations, hosts Ashua Nicole, Big Gee, and Johnny Holmes a.k.a. Apostle examine the connections between African proverbs and African American adages. During a text exchange Nicole and Eyembe discovered that they knew of similar sayings involving a 'long spoon' or as Nicole's grandmother would frequently say, "Sometimes you have to feed people with a long handled spoon". This is a term used to indicate that you need to distance yourself from another party so they don't bite the hand that feeds them or exploit you. This lead to further exploration of the topic of things we always hear and say and how they persist throughout African cultures. Listen in as we talk about some of the funny and insightful proverbs we have heard. This podcast is brought to you by Enlighten One.

In this episode of Cool Ass Conversations, hosts Ashua Nicole, Big Gee, and Johnny Holmes a.k.a. Apostle discuss how we manage boundaries and grudges from a metaphysical perspective. When we have greater self-awareness, it changes who we perceive others. Do you know how to demonstrate unconditional love during a stressful interaction with another person?
