In this episode, I talk about quitting and why I think it is ok to do so. Have you ever felt overwhelmed from doing something that you clearly did not want to do? What stopped you from leaving and doing something different? Did you ever think that you were wasting time? Well, you probably were wasting time and that is why I say that some things you need to quit doing, quit being and quit tolerating. Listen to today's episode of 6 minute Tuesday and let me know what you think.

Yes, I am giving you a 6 minute Tuesday on a Friday. Don't question it. Just let it happen. I wanted to share a quick talk about helping people and then talking about it. Do you think that people should announce when they help someone else? Do you think that people should be called to help other people? Well, tune in and hear what I have to say. Then, feel free to let me know what you thought about this episode by emailing me at [email protected]  Thank you in advance.

I had to speak on a subject that bothers me, especially since I am a mother who is currently in a co-parenting situation. I saw a post on Facebook that said, "Some people think that they had dead beat fathers. Whole time, the mother was keeping him away." Just because someone made that post, it allowed actual dead beat dad to step up and be like, Ohhhhh yeah, that sounds like me. Nah, it ain't you homeboy. In this episode I talk about what I went through when I tried to keep my son to myself. His dad wasn't having it. But I also talk about my relationship, or lack there of, with my own dad.  Two different men with two different mind sets and I was there to witness it.

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries. I discussed having your own boundaries in episode #6, but we can't talk about our boundaries without talking about everyone else's. No, we are not the only people who have lines that can't be crossed. Respect is a two way street. Are we perfect in respecting other people boundaries? No and we don't always notice it neither. That's why I had to make a part 2 for boundaries.  In this episode I will talk about:

1. Learning about yourself when dealing with other people.

2. Do not treat people the way you want to be treated. 

3. Listen to what they are telling you.

4. Don’t take it personally if they cut you off for their own peace. It’s not about you.

5. They might rub off on you in a good way. 

Now you can watch my episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq1ED3itfu5Yr6bTWpg-R9Q

The audio will be posted on your streaming apps on Thursdays at 6:00 am EST and YouTube videos of the podcast will be uploaded on Fridays at 10:00 am EST.

Do you have a story that you would like to share on my podcast? You can email me your stories, questions and feedback by submitting a form on my website Coachedbytasha.com , I will read each submission myself. 

Thank you for tuning in this week. 

Before the Coronavirus pandemic came, families weren’t getting together like I remembered they did when I was younger. But, why wouldn’t you want be around your own family members? In this episode, I’m going to share what I think happened then and what I think is going on now.

I will discuss

1. How often family would be together if it was up to the kids.

2. How adult family members talk to each other.

3. Why you might be or might not be the reason people do not come around any more.

4. How the behavior is passed down.

If you would like to share how you feel about today’s conversation or share with me a story of your own, you can go to Coachedbytasha.com and submit your stories, comments and questions. I will personally read each one. You can also submit a story or question for me to read aloud on my podcast. I’m looking forward to reading your messages.

Are you having a hard time telling people no? Do you feel like people take advantage of you? If you answered yes to either of those questions then you should definitely listen to this episode about setting boundaries and letting them be known. I used to get carried away with smiling when I should have been cussing somebody out. Or being overly nice when I should have stopped people from disturbing my peace. It's tough when you want to be the bigger person, see the good in people and try not to step on any toes. That may sound good, but when is it too much? 

In this episode I discuss:

1. What boundaries are.

2. Why we need to have boundaries.

3. What to say when someone crosses a boundary that you haven't made clear yet.

4. Why you should not feel guilty for making sure that people do not take advantage of you.

5. I also talked about telling people no.

In today's conversation we are talking about first impressions and why it is not a good idea to be the worst version of yourself the first time that you meet someone. Unless you are speaking with a therapist, counselor, mentor or someone in a similar profession, do not expect people to just accept you for who you are and try to adjust. Instead, bring the best representation of yourself and then act accordingly. 

We talk about ways to release negative energy and also how to make sure that the people you do like, know what keeps you in a good mood.
