We enter into marriage not only to forge a bond with our spouses but also to embrace the role of being a bonus mom or a son or daughter-in-law. However, expectations and communication with our in-laws or bonus kids can sometimes lead to challenges that affect both our kids and our marriages. To restore and strengthen these connections, it is crucial to initiate open lines of communication and truly get to know one another on a personal level. Although it may be extremely difficult, engaging in difficult conversations paves the way for understanding and growth. Building lasting relationships relies on effective communication and the foundation of respect, which holds the power to bridge gaps and foster harmony in our relationships.

Join the conversation with Markisha Williams and Yolanda Agee as they share more about their experiences as a bonus/step mom and with mothers-in-laws. Yolanda is Monique's bonus mother, she's a wife, a mom, and a grandmother who loves her grandbabies. Markisha is Monique’s step-sister and has been on the podcast before. She is a wife and mother of four and enjoys spending time with her family and reading books. Markisha is a real estate agent and teacher who loves traveling and meeting new people.

Each year for Mother's Day, we focus on the achievement, relationships, and the incredible role that mothers play. Whether these are biological moms, step/bonus moms, mothers-in-law or adoptive moms, there are so many different roles and kinds of relationships that we have with them. The month of May is dedicated to all mothers, and in honor of this, we will talk about the different relationships we can build with our mothers and children.

We recognize the unique role mothers play. Throughout this month, we'll be exploring how we can nurture these relationships and show appreciation to these women who have given so much of themselves to raise and support their children along the way. We also recognize and understand that everyone does not have this kind of relationship with their mom. Some have broken relationships, some were abandoned, some are grieving on Mother's Day every year and most don't acknowledge these relationships exist. If you are a mother, this is for you. If you're not a mother, you have a mother, and this is also for you. So, join us in celebrating the diverse world of motherhood, and let's honor all the different types of love that make it so special!

Join the conversation with your host Monique and her lovely twelve-year-old daughter, Mariyah, as they kick off The Mother's Day Series. The series will be filled with everything from insightful discussions about motherhood to delightful anecdotes about their relationship, roles, and achievements. We want to appreciate them, and this is the perfect way to honor the special bond between mothers and their children.

• Parents should apologize to their children because it is the right thing to do.
• When we teach our children to be responsible for the other child, we teach them the good girl syndrome.
• We’re the parents, and our children, even if they may be older and able to help, should not be responsible for their baby siblings.

Just like seasons change, sex can change in marriage. If you don’t work through the valleys and transitions of sex, you will ultimately get to winter, a season where you’re bitter, nasty, and resentful because the sex and sex conversations have been neglected, and you are not getting what you need. Practicing open-sex communication with compassion in each season is critical, and it’s the only way to prevent winter, no matter where you are on your journey. Sex is important, it’s a healthy part of marriage, and you should prioritize and schedule it as much as you can, but it’s not the only clutch to intimacy. When it is not possible because of factors such as chronic illness, looking for other intimacy avenues is key. There are so many types of intimacy that you can explore that can help you stay connected and are just as rewarding as sex. 

Join the conversation with Christ-Lynn and Junior Smith (Husband and Wife) as they share how to prioritize sex in different seasons with compassion and how to find other ways to be intimate. Christ-Lynn and Junior have been married for 10 years, are parents to two girls, and Christ-Lynn is the podcast host of Black Marriage Therapy. Sex in marriage is important and should always be a priority, but it will look different in different seasons. Learn how to cultivate open conversations around your sex life and embrace the changes that come with it to thrive.

It is impossible to have a healthy relationship without setting boundaries. Boundaries are an important part of any relationship, whether it is between two people or within a marriage. Boundaries help us to understand each other’s needs and respect each other’s space, allowing us to build trust and maintain healthy relationships. This can help both parties thrive and avoid unnecessary conflict. However, without clearly communicated boundaries, it can be hard for someone to know how they should interact with you, leaving them feeling confused and frustrated, so it’s important to speak up about what your limits are.

Join the conversation and learn the importance of setting boundaries in your relationships, the best ways to do it, and what makes others respect and value the boundaries you set. Sasha Harris-Greenidge, a Certified IGNITE Mindset Coach, joins us to help us unravel this concept. She holds a BA in Psychology. She is also a wife and mother of 2 beautiful children.

[08:30] Are boundaries important in relationships? 

[11:07] What happens when we have unspoken boundaries in relationships

[24:19] How to approach a situation where one partner does not approve of a boundary 

[31:42] Do couples need to re-check and adjust boundaries as needed?

[44:53] Advice on what to do with a partner who doesn’t give the response you desire

[52:03] How people will respect your boundaries

[54:37] Wrap up and end of the show 

• Boundaries are not expectations of how one should live.
• People are not in a relationship with you to make you happy. They are there to be their best self to contribute value to your life.
• It’s healthy to set boundaries, but at the end of the day, it comes to what we can or cannot tell somebody to do or say. 
•  'Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.'—Brené Brown. 
• When you set your boundaries, you know they are working when other people don’t like them.
