Get Lost Life

“I realized my dissatisfaction in my daily life came from lack of FREEDOM. I spent 15+ years allowing others to define what good looked like for Ty. My favorite quote is “Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?””

The reason I love this quote is it resonated with me, because often times we allow our paths to be directed by those with more experience i.e. our Parents/Family and or Mentors/Managers. Although these individuals have good intention we start down a specific path, and before we realize it we are in so deep that we don’t know how to get out, but we know that it no longer fulfills us or never has.

This episode Quincy and I discuss how we found happiness through harnessing something we already loved. This love is now our business and we are using our LOVE of Travel to help others to improve their overall health & wellness. We believe that Experiences make individuals far happier than Material gratification. We’ve both lived the life of enjoying material things, and we found that it was just a temporary bandaid to fill a much larger void in our lives.

Join us this week and every Thursday!

Many of us celebrated Father’s Day this past weekend with the important men in our lives. Anytime I get to celebrate my husband especially in his role as a Father I am happy to do so. For those who don’t know I grew up in a single parent household never establishing a relationship with my biological father. Quincy showed me what a Father’s LOVE was all about in his role of raising our boys to be the fine men they are today.

This weekend while we were out celebrating I started thinking about how I have never been able to celebrate Father’s day in the traditional sense of enjoying the holiday with my own Dad, and it got me to thinking about how individuals who have this blessing may sometimes take it for granted. Specifically I was thinking of my own children, as I was telling my son on Sunday how he should not take this for granted as there are many out there who don’t have a father in their lives.

This episode is about celebrating those Men who are involved in their children’s life, but also encouraging those who are not. Although our sisters are out there doing their best to be all things and provide for their children it truly takes a village. Quincy and I reflect on our own upbringings as well as those around us and how we can see the impacts of how being raised either in a dual parent household or single parent household had on our lives.

Do you feel like you are running 100 mph, and not seeing any progress in any areas of your life?

Are you stretched thin, but have others depending on you to SHOW up?

Sometimes, we wish we could literally just GET LOST, and if someone else says all you need to do is find balance, I am literally going to Lose IT! Is the concept of balance REAL? Or is it more about finding peace? Balance to Ty is about Protecting her Peace but forging full speed ahead to accomplish all her goals, and for Quincy it’s about making short term sacrifices for mental stability. What’s your recipe for not going crazy and finding time to replenish your cup?

Find out what we have to say in this episode “Balancing Act”. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Have you ever walked in a room and felt like you didn’t belong; not because of who you were, but because of your RACE or Color?

Did you ever feel like you couldn’t win for loosing in both your personal or professional life?

If you have ever felt like being BLACK is exhausting then this is the episode you don’t want to miss. In episode 9 – The Great Divide we spoke with Karen Maarman from S. Africa who shared a rich history of the S. African culture, some family upbringing & background, as well as the struggles that still exist today.

This interview touched us in many ways, and there were several points shared that we thought were worthy of additional discussion. Quincy and I dive deeper into the discussion in Episode 10 – Color Lines, and share the personal and professional struggles that we have both experienced. We also talk about the unconscious biases we all have that are a product of our upbringing; which can be good, bad or indifferent.

Enjoy the Ride!

COLORED: “The formal government they named us colored; which means rubbish, germs, good for nothing, hopeless… they put that TAG upon us!” – Karen Maarman 

Today we have invited a very special guest all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. We met Karen Maarman in person while visiting South Africa in March. Karen welcomed our group of 11 into her home and shared intimate stories of her family, rich culture, and history of her country.

This week we got an opportunity to catch up again with Karen. She had a wealth of information to share when we visited her in Cape Town, so Quincy and I wanted to continue the conversation with her for our listeners.

This will be a two part episode as Karen has triggered some interesting points that we’d like to expand on further in regards to our individual experiences here in US and how although worlds apart we have similar experiences and challenges. So stay tuned to next week where Quincy and I will do a deeper dive into some of the critical points shared today.

Enjoy the RIDE!

What Lies Beneath… Remove all the BS in your life and what’s left? AUTHENTICITY – would you like the REAL reflection of you if you removed all the layers and looked in the mirror. Not the social media version of you? But the REAL version…

Join us back on Thursday, May 23, 2019 for Season 2.

This week’s episode is entitled birth of a brand specifically today we are discussing our BRAND Get Lost VIP. But even more importantly today’s discussion is more about what’s holding you back from starting your business. 

Quincy & I introduce you to our brand story and provide key nuggets on starting and growing a business. Owning a business is a huge step but attainable one if you’re ready to put in the work.

Have you ever wanted to ask God WHY!? Was there ever a moment of darkness that left you feeling all alone?

I know the y’all every SUNDAY I can do no wrong Christians are like nah Child how can you have these doubts if you claim to be a child of God, because fear and faith can’t live together. Well I have heard all the scripture and seen all the quotes; but when there are more things going wrong than right; when there are more losses than wins; when you keep getting hit while you’re down YOU TO WILL HAVE THIS MOMENT OF DESPAIR too. 

And to add insult to injury while you’re doing what you feel are all the right things and you scroll down your IG feed and you see others receiving blessings upon blessings and you know they not doing right … Go ahead and act like you’ve never had a moment of envy! 

Yes, I know we shouldn’t examine our lives by others success. I’m generally happy for others, but I’m also human and from time to time that envy demon sneaks it’s ugly head in and takes over. It’s not so much their success as it is my assessment of personal failure. 

The message in this episode is not to be discouraged, because SCATTERED SEEDS STILL GROW. I heard this message this weeks and before even hearing the sermon those 4 words struck me and I already knew what the message was about. I started thinking of all the “seeds” or conversations I had, doors I’d knocked on, doors that were closed, and how although disappointed we found away to keep pushing. Then low and behold one of those doors we’d assumed was closed actually opened months sometimes almost a year later. 

There are seeds that you have planted and forgotten about because you assumed that opportunity was not yours because the door has not opened according to your schedule. What you’re going through or have been through may look bleak, but what awaits you on the other side is worth living and fighting for. 

Join Quincy and I as we share how we’ve climbed out of darkness.

Quincy and I welcome special guest Desario Turner; she and her daughter Jerzi joined us on our South Africa trip along with 7 others. When we thought of discussing our African journey with our audience we knew she would be the perfect individual and provides an unique perspective.

Listen as we take you on a wonderful journey of history, culture, and exposure.
