Living alone in my 20s has given me so much perspective. I'm trying to figure myself out and I don't wanna be around people who are asking me or who fault me for certain things (set boundaries). I was isolated but this time it's different, I'm healing and progressing, and I can't argue with that. What would you go back and tell your 14-year-old self? I've been in college for 3 years, all 3 of those years around this same time every 6 months I had a new boyfriend or "situationship" and its pitiful that I allowed the bare minimum. Find out how I stayed obedient to healing.

This episode talks about the heavy factors of healing and growth while in your "Season of change." A lot of times people aren't familiar with how to articulate every emotion they're feeling when this new season comes and it affects your way of judgment. The person that you were in high school is no longer you, maybe the person that you were a year ago has also changed, and that's okay. Swap out the negative narratives that come with healing and change for positivity and a chance to become new. Add daily prayer into your new season or a hobby and notice a difference. This is the end of an era and the start of something new, its just starting roughly.

Hope you enjoy this episode. Share with your friends.

Alyse Garcia is our special guest this week! She also has her own podcast called 'Always Bothered' available on all platforms. In this episode of GIRRRLL TALK we both agreed Scorpios should be wiped off the planet because the level of toxicity is unmatched. Have you ever considered the background you want your partner to have? Do you want a partner that grew up the way you were or whos almost or not the complete opposite? I've experienced both and all i can say is thought id end up happy but one left me broke and the other with a black eye. 

Trauma bonds, staying with someone whos manipulating you but you can't leave, and now there are certain things you won't tolerate from a new partner because it triggers you. Do you know what those are?

Some friends are not meant to be your friends! If that girl LEFT you at the club for a DUDE, you should never speak to her again. 

Heres an episode specifically for my people that want to visit Italy and/or study abroad. If you aren’t aware, I spent 4 months abroad in Italy, rome to be exact and it was an instant overwhelming culture shock. Now yes this experience is my own but ive found that alot of other people of color have had the same experience.

The goal for the 3rd party program (api) and the italian residents to me looked like they wanted abuse a black person so much that you would either give up and go home or show them the stereotypical true colors so that they could send you back to america or even worst, arrested. What i want you to take from my podcast, youtube, and tiktoks are me advising you to not lose your self in a country that already wants you gone. Research, research, and ask questions!

Now don’t get me wrong, I had some fun, while abroad. It was a huge eye opener for me.  Italy is beautiful. Its surreal. In one sentence: Italy was God throwing me in the water knowing i couldnt swim but now i can. If you have any stories about studying abroad or even advice, send me a direct message on any of my platforms. If you know someone in danger abroad or that fears for their life, tell them to contact or visit the US EMBASSY ASAP.

In this episode colorism, mental health, and the minimization of respecting the boundaries we deal with as POC are discussed. Anxiety can take a greater toll on your body than you realize so if you’re stressing, this is the episode for you. Trenkell opens up about how real active depression is in everyday life. In this episode, trenkell provides a safe space for speaking on how bad death has been taking a toll on her and even a sleep paralysis moment.

Have you ever felt that no one takes your pain seriously? It's time to speak up for yourself, not only as a person of color but as an individual who deserved more. Tune in to find out how I smash the seed before it turns into a plant. There was no way Trenkell should’ve allowed a grown man to throw a chair at her. If you have anything you’d like to share, please feel free to send me a message!

I send my deep condolences to anyone who has ever lost anyone to suicide and if you’re monitoring someone who’s battling depression I pray the lord gives you the strength to be there for them. Trigger warning, I'll be talking about that in this episode so if you need to click out, do that I still love you. This episode is raw, my apologies for my shaky voice, and thank you to everyone in advance who will send their condolences. Raven Jackson's girlfriend has just passed and I speak about the cheerleader Lana who attended SU that committed suicide a few months ago.

 I hope you enjoy this episode. Remember if you need someone to talk to call the suicide hotline(988) and my inbox is always open. Tell your stories or let me tell them, you never know who you might help.
