Forget Them Kids

Today we are talking about virtual learning; something all moms are struggling with one way or another. We talk about our virtual learning schedules, why we thought our kids would be okay going back to school, and our motivation to making this virtual learning thing work. Ever wonder how our parents had the patience to help us with school? Yeah we are too. We discuss our take on "Experiencing Motherhood: Single & Black" podcast episode about virtual learning and ultimately say f*ck Teams, Zoom, Seesaw, Class Dojo, Clever, Xtramath, Prodigy, Epic, and whatever other school app these teachers make us use!

We had some fun with this episode! S/o to the City Girls for giving us the inspiration. We give our feedback to Yung Miami's video of why she can't be anybody's side chick. We acknowledge that there are levels to being a side chick, side chick perks, and we want to know why men confide in their side chick so much? Alexis takes over Story Time and tells us her story about the time she was a side chick and the time her ex's side chick did the most. We also called a former guest and asked him if men are actually using protection with their side piece.

Chate is back! In this episode, Alexis is catching her up on things that she has missed and realized it all boils down to having a dysfunctional family. Chate gives the real definition to dysfunctional and we get into our own view of what it is. We discuss why dysfunction in family occurs and if there is any way to mend those family bonds. We found that blood is not always thicker than water and sometimes the family we create is more "functional" than the family we were born into. We touched on estranged sibling issues, and how divorce or separation from your partner can interfere with the functional family you want your children to have.

In today's episode, I brought Kiyana, owner of Candid Candles, on to talk about the importance of taking care of your kids. When I say "take care of your kids", I don't mean in just the way everyone thinks. Acknowledge that you need some help and if that means sacrificing primary presence of your child, then do so. Kiyana is a mother whose son lives with their dad primarily, so we discussed:

Today, Alexis is all by herself talking about self happiness and poses the question: Do you even know what truly makes you happy? 

Most people don't. She didn't until life happened. She speaks on her journey of getting from being happy on the surface to truly being happy.

Today is all about them coins! Alexis invites her friend Stephanie on the podcast to give her expertise on budgeting, saving money and paying off debt. We get into ending the check to check cycle most of us are used to, teaching our kids about money earlier than we were taught, the importance of having an "emergency fund", and life insurance. 

We also talk about investing, but not in the way everyone usually thinks. Learn to invest in yourself! You can not go wrong when you invest in yourself first.
