Life Her Podcast

Today on Life Her Podcast, we’re talking with Tahanee Zarinah, author of the Novel, “Lust Now, Cry Later.”

Tahanee’s journey as a creative includes hosting her popular YouTube Channel, “Bedroom Busters and Bites,” being a relationship columnist, expressing her heart through poetry, and being a novelist - now published by the prestigious street lit expert, Wahida Clark.

Today we discuss her writing process as she created the novel, why she chose to open the book with a realistic and stark depiction of abuse, and whether or not she thinks “writers block” is even a thing.

We’ll hear her thoughts on divine inspiration, and on the interplay between being a creative and being connected with the Creator, and we’ll talk about what that looks like for her in her own life.

Tahanee began writing after her family experienced a tragic loss. Her story of expressing grief through writing is a beautiful reminder of the healing power of expression through art.

Every episode of Life Her Podcast contains a story of Trial to Testimony, and Tahanee’s un-stoppable spirit is contagious as she shares hers. We know you’ll be inspired by her motivation to create, build, and express, and by her entrepreneurial drive to help others grow. She serves others through fostering creative communities online, by reminding us all that we’re never alone when we walk through loss, and by generating conversations about generational wealth.

Tahanee and Yvette also take a few minutes on this episode to discuss the different styles of relationships - traditional verses teamwork - and the beauty of black love. They drop some wisdom about what it takes to have a good relationship in the modern day.

Precious Monét learned the hard way that not every woman can be trusted to support us on our way to our goals. She gained experience in the corporate world, with a specialization in Human Resources, Project Management and Event Management. Her educational background with a BA in Administrative Management never prepared her for the gap so many women experience when it comes to gaining support, training and collaboration in their careers.

This obvious need led her to become a certified Life Coach, and building the unique organization, Be Her Support.

Be Her Support is a growing members-only community of women who understand the power of unity, respect and support. We offer members an exclusive and enriching experience through our masterminds, group coaching, roundtables, workshops, events and activities.

It is our honor to be a trusted platform and resource that assists and uplifts the everyday career woman. In addition to being a pillar to women, we are also a trusted resource for Brands and collaborators, as we are known for our solid network and our quality contacts.

We provide new opportunities and connections for like-minded women, and we help propel you forward to manifesting the Big Dreams that fuel you!

I would like to introduce you to the black women millennial owners of real estate brokerage, Harris Hawkins & Co., Tiffany Harris, and Brandi Hawkins. These ladies are making history in Baltimore, providing a space that offers growth and education for other black real estate agents.

Their goal is to accommodate women, especially black women, to run their potential large business without struggling to figure out specific challenges they have mastered themselves. Once the Harris, Hawkins, & Co. team opened its doors back in July, they’ve been able to assist first-time homebuyers, repeat buyers, and investors find the perfect property and ensure the staging of the houses they have sold was perfect.

This Episode is dedicated to my mother Sherice Thompson. She was an amazing powerful women. She didn't take no shit and made sure she made things happen for my brother and I.
