When couples split, there is also a "legal" side of things that needs to be handled from assets, liabilities, child support, custody and/or spousal support.

Having a team during this process may involve having an attorney to help assist.

This week, my guest Family Law Attorney Andrea Harvey of "Harvey Law Office" of Chicago, Illinois joined me to answer some general family law questions on what to expect in court. From getting your paperwork in order to even how it's important to be as cordial and cooperative when appearing in court.

When someone mentions to me that they've been angry for years, the truth is that anger doesn't last that long.

Anger is a feeling that is short lived and if someone is calling it anger years, months and decades later, that is considered more to becoming "bitter",

Maybe that is a word that isn't as acceptable to name however, when you can't call it for what it is then it remains.

Join me this week as I discuss the difference between bitterness and anger, its characteristics, what causes bitterness and 3 different ways to cure bitterness.

"Getting Even" often sounds sweet right? Especially when you want someone to pay for what you think should be their karma.

However, we fail to see that in the event of wanting to see someone get what we believe they deserve, we often spend tons of time and energy on them that we're unable to focus on what's ahead for our own lives.

Real vengeance comes in doing what will elevate you and not minimize you!

Join me this week as I discuss 3 things you need to place your focus on if you want the real payback…

As speaker Eric Thomas says "If you're going to go through pain, then get an reward from it"

Many often let their pain become a ceiling where it keeps them stagnant and content with being uncomfortably comfortable.

They lose vision beyond where they are due to the unexpected circumstances only to remain a victim and not becoming victor.

However, it's in those challenging times that your pain births power in you that you never believed was there and purpose you thought you never had.

This week, my guest Jasmyne Reynolds aka "Black Fitness Mommy" discusses how she went from getting through the pain of her 2nd pregnancy alone and not making enough money to a full time entrepreneur, fitness expert as well as meeting her soulmate.

Trust is defined as "firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something". When this trust seems to be broken thoughts of fear, isolation, and even self-sabotage can take place. However, underneath those thoughts of trust issues is also another layer for deep connection.

Here's a truth: "You can never experience real connection and intimate relationships when you don’t lead from a place of building a trust"

This doesn't mean to blindly trust people neither does it mean to not guard your heart, but are you making your heart so guarded where you disguise it as protection to never establish real connection? Do you think that this is a "safe" practice to protect yourself from being hurt? Join me this week as I discuss 3 reasons on why you could have trust issues as well as 3 practical things you can do to improve and work through these issues.

It only takes a mental shift to begin a new chapter. 

We can often believe that what has taken place in our lives is the final chapter not realizing that it was only a season. That "fixed" mindset creates stagnation, develops fear and the inability to see what's ahead.

Ending the relationship is not the "End all be all" for your life. As a matter of fact, it can be the beginning of something even greater. This week, my guest and previous client Marquita Rias will share her relationship story on how changing the narrative changed her life.

From social media posts to even texting, we have all used writing to express ourselves in some way.

Did you know that  journaling is an effective self-care technique for your emotional health? It gives you the chance start putting those feelings down on paper instead of ignoring them. It manages the stress, depression, anxiety and boosts your overall mood.

Our world teaches us to "keep things moving" with no dealings of any kind. We're told to move on but we're not dealing with what we're attempting to move on from. With less than $2 and 20 minutes 3 times a week, you can start expressing your real feelings on paper by facing them and not running from them. This week my guest, Journal Strategist - Renee Ross will join us to discuss her story on how journaling has helped her as a single mom and when she lost her father, reasons on why you should journal, how your social media is a journal (something that many don't see), and ways you can start your journey of journaling today.

There's this misconception that when the relationship is over, all feelings are gone when that's hardly even the case. This can cause a person to believe that missing them is a sign to return back to a relationship that they may need to stay away from. The truth is you will miss them and you may still love them because that's a part of the healing process however that doesn't mean you should go back to them. Join me this week to discuss 3 things to consider when you find yourself thinking that you should go back or your find yourself consumed with thoughts of missing them and you still being in love with them.

Self care is often encouraged as "treat yourself and you'll feel better". Now make no mistake there is nothing wrong with an "indulge" but we don't want to confuse that as the only source of care.

Our "Real" care is sometimes overlooked due to not confronting those things that we need to face. But what happens when they don't get addressed? Do we really put the "past" behind or is it often traveled with us?

Ending a relationship is not about just walking away from the person, it's more about your mental and emotional health moving forward. My guest, Psychologist, Dr. Tiffany Bellamy will join us this week to give ma more detailed understanding of what care is, the long term ramifications when it's overlooked as well as things you can do in this season to make your mental and emotional health a priority.
