Focus on the ashes of your destruction; for it bears witness to your death and rebirth. ________ The ashes of your destruction may not be tattoo worthy but they represent what truly happened to your past life, past self and past situation.   Our ashes are evidence of our destruction both our gravesite and womb; they mark where we died and the sacred grounds where we were reborn.  I was consecrated by fire and now I'm being rebuilt by it's ashes. ________

Experts say that going through a divorce is akin to suffering the death of a loved one.  During my divorce I felt as if my heart had been removed from my chest.  For years I thought "I must be broken". I could feel passion and love for so many other things, but loving someone felt impossible.  I thought I could never again have that feeling of "falling in love". (This episode is dedicated to girlfriend/sistah and my relationship coach)

We often associate generational curses with finances, substance abuse, emotional and physically abusive relationships.  However, generational curses can also apply to our personal relationships.  How often do we find ourselves in toxic relationships? How often do we carry the scars and toxicity of previous relationships into new ones?  We are in essence continuing patterns of behavior that we learned from our parents or prior relationships. Listen in as my guest Josh Anglero, Actor at OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network To Have and To Hold: Charlotte and the the Co-Founder of PAC Public Relations speaks candidly about having to break generational curses in order to build healthier future relationships for himself and his children.
