Dropping Dymes

Season 2 Episode 21

it's the season finale, and we ask the deep ans pressing question, and that's "What does it mean to be a Bad B!tch?"

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, to another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

It's the last one of the season, the last one before the holidays are in full swing, and we decided to go out with a bit of a bang!

I think we've all heard someone say "Now, that's a bad b!tch," but what does that mean exactly? Webbie even gave us a song telling us what he thought it meant, and according to that, I'm sure we all know a few, but what does it mean to you?

We'd like to think it's more than cooking and cleaning, and more about how you raise the levels of those around you, how you've taken yourself to the next level, how you...well, check out our take on what's a bad b!itch on this episode, but you know we want to hear your thoughts too! What's a bad b!tch to you? What does she look like, what are the obvious characteristics of her, and what arw the deeper ones too?

Season 2 Episode 20

When was the last time you didn't feel like you were enough?

Welcome back,  welcome back, welcome back, to another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

Episode 20, and we ask the question when is the last time you didn't feel like you were enough? As men, we sometimes want to be the hero in the lives of those we love, but what happens when we can't do those things? When you're not the best or at your best, you ever get that feeling? What left you feeling that way, and how did you manage it?

We talk about our times that we felt like it, how we managed it, or how we can keep ourselves lifted out of those spaces going forward. We'll have those feelings, it's somewhat natural but how we come out of those spaces is the key. So, know that you're not alone, you won't ever be alone in that feeling.

Remember, if you ever need to talk, we're here, and if we can't, we can point in the direction of someone who can help.

Dropping Dymes family, Happy Holidays, we appreciate you for subscribing, sharing, commenting, 👍🏾 and hitting that bell! Thanks, and until next time, we love y'all! 💪🏾 ✊🏾 🤞🏾 🤟🏾

SACRIFICE

WELCOME BACK FAMILY!

Dropping Dymes Podcast here, back again with Season 2 Episode 19 and we're talking Sacrifices. What have you had to sacrifice? Why do we even sacrifice at all? Some folks think it's overrated. We often see where we want to be but how do we get there. They say to get something you have never had you have to do something you never did. But these new things have to take the place of something. What are the things you feel are first on the chopping block. Once you decide those what keeps you consistent? All these questions and all you want to do is get to the goal, the what. But we must tap into not only the what but also the why. That why will help us when our old mind and our flesh are yearning for the comfort and pleasure we know oh so well and feels so good. I

Those question and those answers are what we are here to discuss. Tune in, but tap in with your experience with sacrifice. I bet this bring out some real truth, struggle, and triumphs. Let us know in the comments. Brandon gone read them and respond. "ONE DAY!"

Season 2 Episode 18

What is Your Vetting Process?

WELCOME BACK! To another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

Episode 18 and we're talking the Vetting Process. How do you vet the people the that enter your life? It's cool to think that everyone you meet will have your best intentions, but its also naive. Somethings and some people just aren't for you in this time. How do you see vet the world around your so you minimize your hurt, minimize your loss, maximize your gains, maximize your opportunities, and maximize your life?

The spirit of discernment is an evolving shield that helps us decide what and who makes it to our inner circles. But enough with the theoretical talk. Today we are here to talk about what it looks like in real life. As always each one of us are different and have lived through different lives. Those differences molded us and how we see the world. Which produce different perspectives. And, that's what you are about to experience, how we vet the world around us, from what we have grown through.

Shooooot we had to vet each other before this even became a thing.

You know we bout to throw our thoughts at you but please feel welcome to throw your in the comments. Really! How do you vet potential friends, romantic opportunities, business opportunities, etc. Let us know in the comments. Brandon gone read them and not respond.

Season 2 Episode 17

Ulterior Motives

Welcome back,  welcome back, welcome back, to another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

Episode 17 and we're talking Ulterior Motives. Have you had someone enter your life, had you thinking their presence in your life was about one thing, nothing but the best of intentions, and it turned out to be something completely different, and only to benefit them? When they're expecting something outside of the state motive, then we're entering that ulterior motive realm.

I think we've all encountered this, had to deal with it at some point, and some of us have operated with our own ulterior motives. Doesn't mean they're always bad, but usually concealed and some might see as selfishly beneficial.

In my life, I've seen a lot of my female friends not accept what some might consider simple help, favors, etc., just to avoid some guy's ulterior motive that would resurface itself later. I have guy friends who haven't accepted help because they knew it might be thrown back in their faces later, and used as leverage by someone to get something there wanted.

Have you experienced this, did you spot it before the situation took off, or were your "Spidy senses" tingling? lol  You know we want to talk about it, so let's hear those stories.

What power does music have over you?

Welcome back,  welcome back, welcome back, to another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

Episode 16 and its our ode to music! Rap gets us hype to play sports, at parties, sporting events, R&B can set the mood for a romantic evening, calm us after a not so good day, even help us sleep, gospel sets us up for praise and worship, makes us remember to be thankful, etc. Other genres of music do similar things for their listeners,  right? The one thing they all have in common is this form of art has a certain power over its listeners. Whether it's positive or negative, helping, hurting, dancing, singing, music has the ability to take over our minds and even our bodies.

We get into what types of music we enjoy now, what we enjoyed growing up, it's affects on us daily and how it's been somewhat of a guide throughout our lives.

This is one we cannot wait to hear your feedback on. What has music helped you through, helped you create, what's been it's role in your life? Let's talk about it!!!

Season 2 Episode 15

When's the Last Time You Cried?

Welcome back,  welcome back, welcome back, to another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

Episode 15 opened up a pretty damn good discussion, and the question posed is "When's the last time you cried?" As simple s it seems, some people will really have to think back, hard, to remember the last time they were able to release that level of emotion, while some of us can recall it like it was yesterday, because it might have been yesterday.

I think the question, alone, can open up a series of other questions, and with the Dropping Dymes crew, you better believe, some of those other questions will get asked.

Were your latest tears that of sadness, hurt, anguish,  or were they tears of joy, a happy moment, even being happy for someone else?

Either way, the tears are a direct sign that you at least acknowledge your emotion and your living in it. Nothing wrong with holding back at times, but it's definitely better to allow those emotion to run their course and allow you to be able to experience those emotions without judgement.

Of course the guys give their last few experiences, but when was the last time you cried? Were you somewhere you felt safe to release, or did you need to hold out until you were in a space you felt more comfortable?

This definitely one of more emotional and vulnerable topics, but we would still love your feedback, if you feel comfortable sharing with us.

Listen, tell a friend, then tell another one and have them tell someone about us!

PIVOTING

Welcome back,  welcome back, welcome back, to another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

Episode 14 brings us into a discussion that everyone has experienced at some point in life. When you get hit with the opportunity of change. Often times we didn’t ask for it. It just decided to find us. As we grow we understand that its more about how we respond than what actually happens.

You can be on a road you’ve known for years and out out of nowhere change smacks you in the face. Its uncomfortable, its scary, it ain’t fun . But you can’t sit and pout forever. If you take your steps in the new direction, into the new landscape, what we have found is this is the place you will find even more of you.

In true Dropping Dymes fashion, we discuss ours biggest pivots and what they did for our our lives.

Also in Doing Dymes fashion, we pose the question, what is your biggest pivot? And What did it pull out of you?

Dropping Dymes Season 2 Episode 13 LOVE LANGUAGES

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, to another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

Episode 13 brings us into a discussion that you've probably had if you've been in relationship as of late, and that's Love Languages. These are a huge deal because it's essentially letting someone know that this is how you like to receive love.

There are theoretically 5 love languages. Those are Quality Time, Physical Touch, Act of Service, Receiving Gifts and Words of Affirmation. It's said that we all typically enjoy each of these to an extent, but 2 of them will stand out more, and those are usually YOUR love language.

Once those have been discovered, how do you relay yours to your partner? We think this is a very important part of the equation to happiness in your relationships, minus the confusion.

In Dropping Dymes fashion, we discuss ours, how we discovered these were ours, making adjustments, if they've changed, so on and so forth.

Also in Doing Dymes fashion, we want t to know what your love languages are, how'd you discover them, was it through the test, or life had a way of showing you?

Come on and share with us in the comments! Let's talk about it!

Deal Breakers!

Welcome back,  welcome back, welcome back, to another episode of Dropping Dymes Podcast!

Today's we talk Deal Breakers! We talk about the things that we just can't deal with, can't tolerate, whether physical, emotional, spiritual or mental. Usually they're things that we figure out or notice during the "getting to know you" stages, but sometimes, things slip through the cracks, and you may not notice, but once you encounter it, you would have to end things. As harsh as that sounds, that's what we consider deal breakers. Whether we call them preferences, boundaries steppers or whatever, I think they're all related to deal breakers.

We give you a few of ours,  and even some that we've encountered. We can't give them all, because it's definitely one of those topics that can keep going and going, but you know we'll make it fun!

Now that you're here with us, drop a couple of your top deal breakers in the comments!
