Happy Hour: The Happy Hour topic this week is for the working mothers and the single mothers. Tasha and Khadijah talk to the listeners about the obstacles they have encountered being single mothers and some of the emotions that come along with it. They also have some sound advice for any mothers who can relate to their journey in navigating motherhood, as well as some encouraging words. Kiaya gives a different perspective of being a very involved Aunt who helps raise her two nephews. She gives some observations from the outside looking in and how helping raise her nephews has impacted her views on motherhood.
Shaken Not Stirred: "Shame hates it when we reach out and tell our story. It hates having words wrapped around it. It can't survive being shared. Shame loves secrecy. When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes. - Brene' Brown
The main topic for today is SHAME. We have all experienced situations or have something that is a part of us or our lives that we have felt ashamed of. Most times we will not share the things that eat us up inside, simply because we feel shame around the way it sounds. The ladies take shame head on, this episode. Khadijah reveals something she has felt shame around for years and has never shared with anyone but her mother, until this episode. Kiaya and Tasha also disclose experiences that they have gone through that they found themselves not wanting to share with people simply because they felt shame around it. The topic gets pretty heavy. Kiaya, Khadijah, and Tasha are hoping that by shedding light on their shameful experiences, it will encourage someone else to put shame to rest by sharing their truth and embracing their journey fully. As always "Its None of your business, but we gonna talk about it anyway!"
