Special guest this week Camille Evans McKay... dropped jewels on everything from how to balance marriage, babies and a baby daddy... to how she added value to her gifts mixing grit, glitter and glam.

Reminding ladies we have got to hold ourselves accountable for what we want....Just like we figured out how to start businesses and get degrees! We need to be just as proactive in self awareness and aligning ourselves with relationships that will help us grow!

Hey guys we are back from Spring break!

Spring Break Recap-Kimberly and LaShana discussed how they spent their time on spring break. We also recapped the highlights of the salon event Curls, Kinks, and Confidence. The theme of the event revolved around topics such as beauty, wellness and empowerment. In this episode we discussed the importance of listening to the spirit inside of you to direct your path. Whether it's in parenting or career changes we can sometimes get stuck so we have to remember that God is always there to guide us and knows what we need!

Balance is the one thing most people are seeking to maintain! Especially for women trying to balance marriage, motherhood, career, me time, and friend time!!!!! It can seem impossible and overwhelming to even think about fitting all these things into your already busy schedule.

However, on this week's podcast Chief Justice/Former Attorney Kimberley Guillemet shares with us how she is able to balance, being a newly appointed judge, wife, mother, sister, friend, child of the Most High, meal prepping for the week for her husband and four daughters, yoga, president of the EPPO/PTA at her children's school and maintaining her self care and wellness after being diagnosed with Lupus.

Kimberley is a former attorney who was recently appointed to Chief Justice. The South Los Angeles Native was appointed by Mayor Eric Garcetti to lead the city's first ever Office of Re-entry. She has served as a Deputy Attorney General with the California Department of Justice and was also selected to serve as a member of the Division of Recidivism Reduction and Reentry Team. She graduated with high honors from Stanford University and received her Juris Doctor from USC Gould School of Law. All while still combing her four daughters hair every morning before school. She offers relief on how she runs a tight ship alongside her supportive hubby and has learned how to manage her multiple hats!!!

We are all human...therefore needing forgiveness is inevitable in order for any relationship to sustain over a long period of time. Some issues, conflicts, or incidents that you would consider minor, like leaving a mess in the kitchen , or leaving the toilet seat up are easier to forgive and move on...but what about issues of abuse, infidelity, addiction, or financial recklessness? It can be really hard. Especially when you're on the receiving end of the issue at hand. In this week's episode Kimberly and LaShana are discussing the power and benefits of forgiveness, and the steps to genuine forgiveness. Also having the type of love in marriage that needs to be demonstrated where forgiveness is possible.

After the honeymoon stage and life starts to kick into overdrive...... the daily tasks of juggling work and children can be chaotic..... sex can get pushed lower on the list of priorities, and many couples will find themselves in a sex-less marriage (less than 10x a year). On today's episode Kimberly and LaShana discuss the benefits and importance of having a healthy sex drive, and frequent sexual encounter's in marriage. Also common reasons why this can happen in relation to motherhood. How to stay out of the danger zone, and ways to improve the sexual climate in the house to keep it spicy for years to come!

Most people have hectic schedules and a lot going on all the time, but couples have to make their intimacy and sex life a priority. Being intentional about making your sexual experiences with each other magical on a regular basis is a MUST! If it's not happening make it a priority by being in communication about why or what is causing it not to happen so you can move on from the barrier and get back to the love!
