Groove with Portia episodes

  • Being Critical Versus Critical Thinking
    We've all either been the employee who "told off" the boss or witnessed it first hand from a co-worker. Feedback can feel like a personal attack at times especially when it does not come across as favorable. On this episode of Groove with Portia, I invited our Human Resources Veteran, Dena Davis, to go over the difference between critical thinking and being critical when we receive feedback.

  • Systemic Racism and Mental Health
    I've been very open about my mental health struggles for a few years now. It was not an easy choice. Most people know that being an African American woman the stigma that follows are "strong", "independent" and "indestructible". I heard these all my life. On this episode of Groove with Portia, I am joined by Dr. Cheryl Wills from American Psychiatric Association's Task Force on Structural Racism, Dr. Farah Munir, DO from Signature Health Inc. and Megan Rochford from NAMI Greater Cleveland to discuss the impacts on systemic racism on the communities of color and ways to address these issues.

  • Keep Racking Up Debt
    In 2020, I managed to pay off 70% of my debt after years of carrying it around. I was tired of getting declined for credit cards or event house repairs. I knew the time had come for me to put my "change" into the right pocket. Tune into my conversation with Matt Martinez, Financial Representative with North Western Mutual, to learn about common misconceptions around credit and debt. He will even discuss why websites such as Credit Karma,  Nerd Wallet and Credit Sesame show a different score than what your actual score might be.
