All my life I was surrounded by 'hustlers.' People who were chasing the coins to provide, to maintain a lifestyle, to survive, and so forth and so on. I rarely  heard anyone talking about how toxic hustling can be. Or how there is a right way and a not so right way. American runs on money and it doesn't surprise me that a lot of Americans have a 'hustle' mentality. Or looking for quick ways to make money so ya know I had to speak on it just a little! It was so fun  and enlightening to get to talk to the homie, Tommie, about his thoughts on hustling. We talk music, brands, King Crabs and more on this episode! Tommie dropped some gems in this episode that I think we all can apply but if nothing else, I hope y'all enjoy these good vibes! AND If you did enjoy the vibes, make sure you check out Tommie's brand (https://www.umblife.com) and show some love!

Conversations are an amazing tool if you allow it. If you haven't figured it out yet, ya girl likes to have preacher moments uninvited LOL and luckily, they are usually welcomed. This episode I got the pleasure of reconnecting with a girlfriend of mine from when I first moved to Cali and was enjoying my young tenda' 20s! I'm not sure who else ever wonders about how saying 'no' has power or the impact it has to not say no; it was a concept I had been thinking about for a few weeks and it was nice to be able to have an honest conversation with Lien! The more we understand that we set healthy boundaries not only for ourselves to be happy, it's to also be able to SHOW UP when we need to for those we love. There is a balance with everything though...is there not?

Whew, now this is a topic we all can relate to because we all have to go through it. On this episode I get to connect with a Middle School (yes, wild) classmate, Denzell, and we talk about Finding Yourself and what it looked like for us. Life shapes us through experiences, the people we meet, and even the things that we hear. Ultimately, it is up to us to navigate our way through all the BS to find out who we are in order to really live this thing called Life. There were some good gems dropped in this episode that I hope you were able to take away, however, if nothing else, I hope you enjoyed the good vibes :)

Sidenote: apologies for any audio issues! It's one of those things where ya gotta decide do we have time to do ANOTHA ONE or we gotta make due with what we got cause what we got is still pretty good! Ya kno? Appreciate y'all for still rocking with me!

This episode for yall is a little different than our normal episode! For one, there are FOUR lovely women that I get to talk to and they are a part of this special Reality Show called SoulSister Reality (premiere date is Feb 23rd!) I always say the beauty of my podcast is the ability to have a space for honest conversations and on this episode we do that with multiple perspectives from women with a common goal: wanting to heal from their past traumas. We talk healing, friends, trauma, and everything in between. This episode is a little longer than the rest but I hope you are invested in the conversation as much as I was and if nothing else, enjoyed the good vibes.

What does Confidence & Mosquito repellent have in common? Well I didn't know it either until I got to talking to my good girlfriend, Diehl! In this episode we talk confidence, the importance of it, maintaining it, and what we do when we feel low on our confidence. One thing is for sure: you have to work at it. It is not something that is freely given to anyone and it is definitely not something that is maintained alone or by hope. It takes work and sacrifice and let me tell you, ya girl has been working on it for as long as I can remember! As always, I hope you gained some gems of knowledge  and if nothing else, enjoyed these good vibes!

Now listen, the beauty of this podcast is that I am always learning something new, expanding my point of view through different conversations with different people. This episode I think is a good example of that! Me and Destiny originally connected on this cool Podcast platform called PodMatch (which I had found a previous guest on for Season 2) and noticed that she had done her own episode on Soul-ties and I was intrigued to say the least. In this episode Destiny and I talk about defining soul-ties! Now listen, this still is a relatively new topic for me and so I loved learning more about this through some good keke's and haha's with Destiny! As always, I hope you hear some gem of information you did not know before and if nothing else, enjoyed the honest vibes!

Life, changes! Can I get an amen, or can I get an amen?! In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking to my good friend Jay about 'changes.' In life, every day is a day to experience something new, to explore uncharted territories, to experience change. We touch on career changes, life changes, even social media changes with a touch of some real honest conversation! I hope this is another episode you were able to learn something new or if nothing else, enjoy the good vibes!

We made it! I am so blessed to be able to have another Season and thankful to every OG listener that has kept this podcast going as well as every New Listener that becomes a part of the Blagical tribe! Thank you, thank you and let’s bring on Season 3 baby!!

Inspired by real conversations and real life events (in my narrator vc) 🤣. The fact y’all really listen to me ramble, will always make me feel a way 🥺❤️

You are not alone if the Festive Bug hasn’t hit you either! I am with you and it’s okay!! All we need to do is remember what matters: Us. Our mental health. Our physical health. Our happiness. Do what makes you feel good this Holiday Season even if it’s not Holiday related. Don’t get caught up in the superficial air that comes with Holidays. Be grateful. Be happy. Be intentional. Love y’all ❤️
