  • Mental Health: How Can You Win The War Inside?

    Former NBA player, MICHAEL BEASLEY, broke down in tears on The Pivot Podcast this week and many are concerned with what is KANYE WEST experiencing mentally as his divorce from KIM KARDASHIAN plays out publicly? Truth is you don’t have to be a star athlete or celebrity to experience a war inside your head. Psychotherapists, DR. LAURA TURNER-ESSEL (wholistic) and DR. GERALD HASSELL, also author of The Impact of Father Absence on African American Boys, drops by the show to share how we all can defeat the biggest opponent we will ever face in life: ourselves.

  • Why Should I Get Married?
    The Mental Dialogue talk show welcomes back the "Ossie & Ruby Dee of Marriage Counseling," "That Clay Couple," HASAN CLAY & HASAN-NAAILA CLAY, from Global Leadership Integrated Counseling, along with special guest co-host, LAWANDA JORDAN, founder of the upcoming event "Why Should I Get Married?" to discuss the benefits & purpose of MARRIAGE.  According to studies MARRIAGE RATES hit an all-time low in 2018, but the question remains what exactly is leading to this cultural trend and what does it mean for the AFRICAN-AMERICAN community who typically marries less than the broader society.  Should the AFRICAN AMERICAN community continue to role with this trend, or are there benefits to MARRIAGE and its purpose that individuals should take a closer look at?  If more BLACKS got MARRIED and stayed MARRIED what would that mean for the next generation?

  • Best Year In Business & The IRS Still Comes For You, Now What?
    It is quite common for SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS to depend on their ACCOUNTANTS to keep them in good graces with the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICES (IRS), but as revenue increases more oversight is often needed for the accounting practices of the business. Millennial mogul, KELA TAYLOR, is best known among ATLANTA BUSINESS movers and shakers for being the owner of Universal Salon Suites, a 10,000 Sq Ft facility in the midtown area of the city. For all her business success and HIGH EARNINGS in recent years, she recently received IRS TAX PENALTIES in part due to the negligence of her business accountant, and due to her own lack of oversight. TAYLOR has responded to this setback in her usual manner, which is to face it head on and to share the lessons learned along the way with others. When did she pinpoint the accountant's negligence? How does she vet her accountant(s) moving forward? Does she anticipate additional TAX AUDITS of her business now? What recommendations does she have for current & future entrepreneurs? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions Americas afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
