  • Building Trust in New Relationships
    As we go through life, we will encounter bad experiences with friends and romantic relationships that can leave us defensive and reserved. But, people come and go, and the new people in your life deserve the chance to prove that they aren’t like the old people. Allow them to build trust with you over time, don’t rush!

  • DVAM: Overcoming Manipulation and Brainwashing
    The hardest part of domestic violence for me was always the emotional and mental abuse. That stuff truly stays with you for awhile and you have to actively combat it in order to move forward into a healthier life. Domestic violence awareness month may be over, but our discussion has only begun. This show has roots to a variety of traumatic events, and mental illnesses so we will continue to discuss domestic violence throughout the series. As always, send me feedback, reach out if you need to talk, or just want to have some one on one time to get to know each other! Thank you all for listening.

  • DVAM: Survival Strategy and Safely Leaving
    Warm welcome to my best friend Jae (@_38jae on Instagram) as she discusses with us the red flags she noticed and immediately took action against to safely exit her relationship, what a survival mindset entails, and other important facts about domestic violence. What surviving and leaving all boils down to is, having a plan, sticking to that plan, and developing a survivor mindset. With the proper planning and thought process, you gain more tools to survive and safely exit an abusive relationship/situation. Side note: please disregard the background noise interferences we encountered 🤦🏽‍♀️

  • DVAM: Know Your Opponent
    October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this topic is one of the most important and overlooked aspects of domestic violence. Knowing your opponent in almost every way that you can gives you a leg up on the fight and can help you prevent the abuse from even beginning or help you safely exit the relationship. Acknowledge the red flags, and important things about your “partner” and their upbringing, this can be potentially lifesaving information.

  • Recharge Your Batteries
    We all need to do some self care from time to time. You can’t keep running at 5% and expecting great quality effort. Take time to connect with yourself and to feel better. You deserve the best version of yourself, and we can’t become that if we’re taking on too much and draining our mental and emotional energy along with our physical energy. Take care of yourself.

  • My Personal Apologies
    During this timeframe in my life I’m asking for understanding and time to grieve the death of my great grandmother. I understand that some people have been hurt and bothered by this podcast at times and I apologize for that as that was and never has been my intent. Take this message however you please but it is genuine. As always, thanks for listening and thanks for all of your support.🙏🏽

  • Being Mindful and Accountable
    As a caveat to the previous episode, I wanted to mention and clarify a few important things after reviewing the segment. Being mindful of others and what they may be dealing with is a very important part of releasing, as well as being accountable by understanding that we alone are responsible for our own thoughts, feelings, and actions. You and your situation is important, but others and their situation is also important.

  • Testify Tuesday Segment 1

    Not too long ago I mentioned that I wanted to start doing Testify Tuesday as a way for guest speakers to release and tell their story on the show. In this episode, our guest speaker Isaac will tell a personal story about his journey of self love after dealing with a very hard time in his life. It's important that we maintain our power and control over our emotions and never allow someone else to have this power. We alone control our actions and emotions and no matter how anyone feels about us, we must remember that how we feel about ourselves is what is most important. Without further ado, I introduce you to our very first Testify Tuesday!

  • 3 A.M. on a Sunday
    It’s been awhile. But it’s 3 in the morning on a Sunday and I’ve got some things to get off my chest. This is me, the real me, and I hope what I have to say makes you feel empowered.

  • Letting Go

    A topic that many people have come to me about and I had my own instance with quite recently. Letting go is imperative if you intend to ever move forward in any part of your life. Let go of the old memories and bad stuff so you can make room for new memories. If you nurture a plant in the same small pot for its entire lifespan, that plant will never be given the chance to meet its full growth potential. It is entirely the same process with you, you must uproot yourself out of this closed minded thinking box you are in, and allow yourself to grow and progress in life. Let go of the past, you cannot change what has happened. You CAN, however, change how you react to it. You can learn from it, grow from it, and move on from it. 


    Special thanks to all of the people listening internationally, I cannot begin to tell you how amazing it feels to know that you are all listening and that I have so much support in doing this. You are all amazing and I cannot thank you enough.❤️
