More often, we let fear deter us from achieving what we desire. However small it may seem, take a step of faith, get out there and trust God with the results.
Today’s episode is bitter-sweet for me as it marks our Season 2 Finale. It all dates back to August 2021, when I decided to help people on their journey. While helping others, my audience has also encouraged me in my journey.
In this episode, I appreciate everyone who has been part of the success. I share the main inspiration behind the podcast, why you should not let fear deter you no matter how small your desire might seem as well as taking a step of faith in your next move!

The Best of Season 2 Interviews
In today’s episode, we’re taking a dive into the best of Season 2 episodes, "interview style." So what we’re going to do is dive into specific episodes and pull out the nuggets and gems and put them altogether for this episode.
We're going to start off with Episode Seven from season two chasing your dreams while in a relationship where I interview husband and wife Charles and Ashley Jenkins. And then we're going to Episode Eight where I interviewed Dr. Kia Monique Jones about Mentorship in the Black Community, and then we're going to rewind just a little bit when I interviewed Ashley Jenkins on episode three, where we discuss blended families. And last but not least, we're going to end today's episode with the interview that I started the year off with, with my husband Corey in episode one with relationship goals for the new year. I really hope you guys enjoy this compilation that I'm putting together from the best moments of season two, "interview style!"
[02:51] Ep. 7: Chasing Your Dreams While in a Relationship: Interview with Ashley and Charles Jenkins
[03:19] I want to know tell us how you guys met. How did you guys become Charles and Ashley Jenkins?
Well, a lot of people don't know, we actually met online dating app. Yes, we met on a dating app. For myself, I had got on the app because I was engaged before I met my husband. And I had gotten out of a really bad relationship. So I just was like, I'm just going to, you know, get on the dating app, meet friends type of thing. And so I met my husband .
[04:30] Do you guys encourage it? (Online dating) You think that's a great place to start?
I don't think there's anything wrong with the dating app, you know, as far as a good place to start. Ashley Jenkins
[05:57] Do you guys think both parties can chase their dreams at the same time?
I believe both, both people can chase their dreams, and entrepreneurship at the same time. Charles Jenkins
[07:05] What did that look like? For you guys? Like, what if you had to give us summarization of who was chasing their dreams? And who kind of had to take the backseat while the other person chase their dreams?
To go back to our situation, personally, like Charles actually had a business before I did. So he had his own auto glass business. And so then it shifted to now I have the business and he's working. And so I think it changed for us with seasons, like it was his season, at one time because of the finances, but we just expressed like, we just don't have it where we can both pursue it at the same time. So we've both had our opportunities to support each other.
[09:48] How does that work when you're trying to raise young children and still chase your dream and your relationship?
Giving each other that time to get away and then work on yourselves is important for you have to be able to get those things done. Charles Jenkins
[11:51] Is there anything else before I let you tell my audience how to find you guys?
Just forgive. Remember why you said your I do. And I hope that y'all like each other on those days when that love tank is not as full as it was when you got married. - Ashley.
Don't give up on what you want to do or doesn't think you can't do something just because you know you look a certain way or you don't have something. Charles
[13:34] Ep. 8: Mentorship in a Black Community: Interview with Dr. Monique Jones
[14:00] If you wanted the audience to know anything about you, what would you want them to know about you, Dr. Jones?
I am a product of my environment. Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, I went to Jackson public schools here. I went to high school at Jackson State University for an undergrad and for my doctoral degree as well.
[14:56] What's your definition of a mentor?
A mentor is someone that someone looks up to. It can be in a pr

Who Are You Listening To?Have you ever had someone give you an opinion based on their experience? Maybe they told you not to try something or that wouldn't work out or you shouldn't do it that way because of their perspective? Because of how it worked out for them or did not work out for them?
It's hard to make the right decision when so many people around you have their own opinions. It's easy to get confused and stressed out about what you should do. You have so many choices and it is hard to know who has the best advice for you.
It's all about knowing who to listen to. So, who should you listen to? Tune in to today’s episode to find out more!

Why is Communicating in Relationships So Hard?Communicating in relationships is so hard. It's hard because we're all different. As much as we wish we could, we can't read each other's minds. We don't know what another person is thinking or feeling unless they tell us. And when it comes to relationships, it's hard to know when to tell your partner something.
So the question I often get asked is, how do you communicate in a relationship? How do you talk about things? Or how do you tell someone what you want or need from them without hurting their feelings or pushing them away?
If you’ve ever struggled with having a conversation with your partner or your spouse, you don’t feel heard, you don’t feel validated, or you don’t know what to say. If you want to tell them the truth but you don’t want to hurt their feelings or you feel like you’re walking on eggshells. Whatever it is that has to do with any difficulties with communication, this episode is for you.
Key Highlights
[03:29] What people struggle with the most in a relationship
[03:50] What the Word of God says about communication
[09:17] Whatever you say, let it be beneficial to others
[11:10] Having uncomfortable conversations with your partner
[14:55] Being honest and truthful to your partner
[17:43] Have self-talk before approaching your partner
[20:44] Scheduling a conversation and why it’s important
[25:29] When is the right time to have a conversation?
[27:08] The goal for communication
[29:48] Taking a break and rescheduling a conversation.

Notable Quotes
We have to begin to be the change we want to see.
The way to build your circle is by putting yourself out there and not being afraid to be uncomfortable.
Genuine relationships are based on like-minded people who have similar interests in whatever they like to do.
Children are beautiful relationships, and being married is beautiful, but those are additions to you as an individual.
You will never know until you try.
People won’t know what you need until you open your mouth and ask.
If you put the best foot forward and approach people with the utmost respect, you will have someone to help you.
If you feel you’re too busy to be a mentor, maybe this is not the adequate time to be a mentor.
