In season 3, episode 20, I am encouraging us to just be! To not try and figure it out, to not try to plan it out. I want to encourage us to sit with ourselves and to be in tune with what is going on in our bodies. I want us to feel all the sensations and cravings that are coming up for us. Doing these things will allow us to be fully present with who we are and what we need. In western culture, we are convinced that we need to be on all the time, but sometimes we do not feel like it and this is okay!

In season 3, episode 19, I am speaking about how we go through transitions in life. Making a transition can be positive such as changing careers, having a baby, getting married, or buying a new house. Making a transition can also be negative such as death, an accident, or getting fired from a job. I discuss the stages of making a transition and provide ways to cope with it. I also go over a few quotes from my boy TD Jakes' message, The Courage to Change Course, which helped to inspire this topic.

In season 3, episode 18, I am tackling the question of do we find sometimes find it hard to accept compliments? Does someone giving you a compliment make you uncomfortable because you have a hard time believing what they are saying? Do you struggle with low self-esteem, cognitive dissonance, or setting high expectations for yourself? If any of this resonates with you, please listen in to this episode as I offer tips to help us move forward to being able to accept compliments.

In season 3, episode 17, I am breaking down the topics of fate and destiny. Fate is something that unavoidably befalls a person. Destiny is something that is to happen or has happened to a particular person or thing. Fate tends to be the things that are out of our control, while destiny can be altered by our life choices. These words are typically used interchangeably in conversation so listen in as I attempt to decipher the differences.

In season 3, episode 15, I am speaking about why faith is important. Faith gives us the strength to withstand in hopes that something better is around the corner. Having faith is needed to propel us to become the best version of ourselves and to get us to the place we want to be. There will be days we may feel like the not-so-good version of ourselves or the worst version of ourselves, so we need faith to live with the expectation that it won't always be like this.

In season 3, episode 14, I am speaking about the TV show David Makes Man. David Makes Man is executively produced by Oprah and Michael B Jordan. It was created by the Academy Award-winning screenwriter Tarell Alvin McCraney, who is known for the movie Moonlight. The show is a coming-of-age story that centers on a teenage prodigy named David who lives in the Projects, Homestead Village, in South Florida but attends a magnet school for academically gifted students. David is struggling with living in two words. He must be tough to make it on the streets of his neighborhood, and he must be his best in school to make it out of poverty. I am sharing this story to show that not everyone has it easy when they are on the journey to becoming the best version of themselves.

Here are the YouTube links to the two clips that I shared in the episode:
