Programmed Perceptions with TaNeisha Barton

In this last, for right now, maybe episode, I talk about my core principle based on what I have learned since paying more attention to things in my life. There is also a story here of something that has forever changed my life in the best possible way. I hope you enjoy this episode. 

In this episode, I expand more on what to do now that you know your worth! How to embrace your inner badass, what that means to me, and how it continues to show up in my life. One of my favorite things to do is share tips about things that have helped me and how different things have helped me grow as a human. Hopefully, this episode helps someone else. Enjoy. 

In this episode, I talk about the value of knowing your worth and living your life. We all know life is hard, full of ups and downs and things we can't control. However, knowing your value in this world and how you should treat yourself is your most valuable asset. We should all lean into knowing our worth and not letting anyone that devalues our worth get in our way. Enjoy! 

In this episode, I talk about how exhausting being Black can be and how everyone has a role to play in being better for each other. For example, the murder of George Floyd being so public for a moment in time made people more aware of situations and themselves. But how are we showing up for those people today? People marched and posted things on social media, but what actions are you continuing to take to show up and be aware? As a Black woman, it is exhausting for me, and this is an episode about various things that impact that exhaustion. Lastly, kudos to Black men for doing their best and showing up even when the world doesn't always give you the space to be who you are; I value and appreciate you.  

In this episode, I focus on the impacts of being grateful for getting the things you asked for and how changing your perspective can be impactful. Life is hard, and we often hope for certain things to happen. However, when those things happen, we quickly go to the next thing we want to happen instead of appreciating what is right. Therefore, I needed to make this episode a reminder to be obedient to the blessings you have received. 

In this episode, I talk about the importance of the people around you! In a past episode, episode #18, I spoke about the proximity to people around you and how they can impact you. Similar to this episode, I dive more into the circles of people who choose to have an around us and how building a solid circle is essential to building a strong foundation for yourself. 

In this episode, I talk about how I have started trying to tell myself "no" more often and giving myself grace periods. It has shaped my decision-making. Something always interesting to me is evaluating how I live my life and trying to improve myself. I will never stop trying to be better because it makes me happy and allows me to continue to flourish in different situations. 

In this episode, I talk about conflict and how it can rock our lives. However, the older I get, the more I have learned to embrace conflict as a way to grow. Of course, not every situation deserves your attention, and you will have to let things go in some disputes. But sometimes conflict can be healthy and be an excellent teacher to who you are, what you are dealing with, and how you can overcome situations. Hopefully, this episode helps some of you think of another way that you can embrace and accept the conflict that comes your way. 

In this episode, it was important to me to share why I have decided to end recording new episodes. People sometimes evolve as life changes; you must stop doing certain things to open yourself to new opportunities. While this has been a fun journey for me, all great things must end. However, there will be some other episodes left. Listen if you want to understand how I came to this decision and get more information about my life and embracing all of these changes.
