Mocha Message Podcast

Have you ever known a relaxed woman? For the season 4 finale, Jackie and Shani uncover why this question is profound and uncover the importance of pausing, sitting with it, and processing... Why the likelihood of your answer to that question is probably "no", what that means for Black women specifically, and what we can do to change that.

This is a WRAP for Season 4 and we can't head outta here without showing our appreciation for you Mocha Mavens! Please continue to share with a friend and interact with us on Youtube comments, social media, and in person! :)

In this episode, Jackie & Shani chat ALL about what it means to release. It's so unhealthy - mentally and physically - to hold in stress, anger, and negativity. So how can you release the bad feelings in a productive way, to make room for the great ones?

Happy Holidays! We figured it would be fun to gift you all with the Mocha Message, special edition since our last episode of the year lands right before the Holiday rush.

Join Jackie and Shani as they bring a mini year in review by going over what they achieved this year, are looking forward to accomplishing for next year, and highlight some stand out pop culture moments!

Have you ever pushed yourself for a particular job title or positions or had dreams of climbing the corporate ladder? At one point that was us, but as Jackie often says “We off that!”

It is okay to have dreams, goals, and aspirations for the future but never at the expense of taking care of self, quality time with friends and family, and your own interests.

Jackie and Shani share how they re-evaluated the way they think about work and where it fits into grand scheme of this thing called life.

Insecurities. How many of us have them??

In this episode, we get candid about underlying insecurities that we ALL have a tendency to have. Sometimes apparent, other times overlooked.

We're here to tell you that it's normal to have them, it's important to acknowledge them, and realizing that you can grow comfortable with them is the first step to overcoming them.

In this episode, we chat about the importance of lifting your voice. As Black Women - our voices are often minimized. Some of it has been learned over the years and some of it... unfortunately has been taught. But as we’ve grown over the years, we’ve realized the best way to find your voice is to practice using it!

As always, catch us on Youtube and continue the conversation under our video!

Have you ever been curious about what it would be like to start a therapy journey? Faced any resistance around the matter? Even wondered how to start?? Listen, we've BEEN there!
