Well, this is one of the episodes I recorded in August when I wasn't doing the best.  I decided to release it because my guest Loveli Brown Esteem  just made some awesome comments.  

She posted a meme that identified anger as a useful and purposeful emotion in our life.  When you've been wronged it so easy to tell people not to be angry or being angry is wrong.  However, the Bible says "Be angry and sin not." Anger is a natural emotion we were designed to experience.  Not engulf ourselves in, surely; but experience... yes.

I've been MIA.  I lost my spark for a minute.  Let's catch up on this loosely collected thought trail called an episode.  Follow me @OneFierceWoman on IG and Facebook.  I've got a BIG event planned for next year.  I need y'all in place on social media when I announce it!

The conversation with Certified Life Recovery and Addictions Coach Ashley Gilbert continues today. She begins with the concept of "freedom".  Having the  freedom to understand who you are and explore is where we need to begin.  She goes back to the beginning of her marriage and shares what she may have seen as red flags.  Not all marriages affected by pornography addiction can be saved.  However, Ashley makes some great points about the need to save yourself. Go, Ashley, Go!

And remember....Pornography isn't a problem, until it's a problem. That's the bottom line.

Pornography isn't a problem, until it's a problem. That's the bottom line.  Ashley Gilbert is my guest today. She is a certified Life Recovery and Addictions Coach.  Her newlywed years were spent navigating the discovery, admission, and recovery from her husband's addiction to porn.  Him seeking healing, led her to her own discoveries and healing process because of behaviors she learned as a result of childhood trauma and reactive behaviors she learned to cope with his addiction.

I'm not even sure how to describe this episode.  It's a continuation of episode 218, but we move on to my feeling that I'm heavy because of the loss of relationships with people. When you start caring more for yourself than you do pleasing others, you will lose a lot.  

Also, I'm heavy because I haven't received justice.  I want justice.  Can't have peace in my soul without it.  Each day that I live and I fake it to make it, I'm just not at peace.  No justice. No peace....damn it.

Get tickets to join me in person on August 25th here. Y'all connect and follow everybody from this episode!

Shavon Carter is the YOU relationship expert!  In this episode Dr. Trenace Richardson and I listen to Shavon share the healing journey she went on to recover from abortion, miscarriage, and childlessness.  A journey that took her eventually to the freedom to re-identify herself as child-free!  This episode may not be for you if you have not healed from abortion or pregnancy loss trauma.  Tune in and let me know what you think.

Do you really ask for what you want? Do you even know what you want?  My friends Compton (Nicole) and Marimba join me today and talk about how easy it is to never ask for what you want, and how hard it can be to start asking for-and receiving- the cheese.

What's your cheese?  Some of "my cheese" is fidelity, love, financial security, a healthy body and a healthy mind.  Listen to this episode and then grab a pen and paper and start thinking "What is my cheese?"

Save the date for "Who Told You That You Were Naked?".  It's an in person talk with me, Ree-Ree, scheduled for August 25, 2021.  I'd love to see you there!

Continuing with our Heavy series, Dr. Vikki Johnson and Dr. Trenace Richardson join me for this episode to talk about how the spirituality of our sexuality weighs us down.  

There is power in our sexuality.  It's an ancient power that is encoded in our DNA.  As Dr. Vikki explains in this episode, however, it is a power and a knowledge that we are taught to forget.  And in forgetting, we lose sight of loving ourselves and living authentically in every aspect.  Especially, living authentically in our sexuality.  

I am lightening up the 'Heavy' series with this bonus episode.  It's a  fun conversation with Shanella and Chef Lo.  Have you ever wanted to just jump out there and get your freak on and just dance?  Well I've been wanting to not only dance, but also dabble in pole dancing in a club for a long time!  

Watching Chef Lo dance seductively in Shanella's class inspired me take the Dancing in Heels class and a private pole and chair dance class.  What's your secret inner sexy goddess dream you're holding on to?  Connect with Chef Lo on Instagram at @ChefGoldenLo and @NFSDConsulting which is her Instagram for her CBD Infused products.  See all that Shanella is doing in the dance world by following her on IG at @TheRealShanella.

And..... watch out for me..Reeyonce', coming to a club near you... well not near you, I'm shy, but you get my drift!

This is the first in a series of episodes on "Heavy".  Yes, I'm talking about the physical weight we see on our bodies, but what about those emotional weights that plague as and show up as dissatisfaction, confusion, underachievement, procrastination?  Sounding familiar.  Listen in as Dr. Trenace and I talk about some things that weigh us down.

Not sure if you are heavy? Well, listen to this episode and let me know what you think afterwards.
