  • Embrace Your Emotions w/ Platinum Butterfly

    Father's Day Special :)

    This week's episode is for all my Alpha dominant people who have a hard shell, but deep down inside have a soft side too but are afraid to show it sometimes. Tune into the conversation that I have with Platinum Butterfly about being comfortable with your feelings (good and bad) and expressing them as well. We all have feelings and it's okay to show/tell others how you feel. 

    "Remember you loved and you matter."

    ~Black Butterfly

  • Own Up To Your Sh!t

    With every action, there is a reaction. Or is it??? We are in control of how we react to things, but do we take accountability for these things? This week's episode dives into self-respect and not blaming our actions or words on others. 

    As always noted, everything I express is from my personal experiences and to be a support for others (if accepted) and not to be taken as any harm towards anyone because the Free Space Podcast is a safe space to all !

    Remember you are Loved and you Matter

    ~Black Butterfly
