Programmed Perceptions with TaNeisha Barton

In this episode, I rant/talk about why I am tired of never-ending debates and how they waste time. If you are not communicating to understand someone else's perspective, you waste time. Sports debates have happened for years and years, but by no means do I feel like we should stop engaging in conversations, but I do feel like if someone doesn't want to understand your point, what is the reason for wasting time? 

In this episode, I talk about my goals for 2022, how I make them, and why they matter. It is new for me to publicly share these types of things because I used to create a vision board. But happy to share these out with the world in the hopes that this episode can help someone else somehow. 

As we head into a new year, nobody should be surprised by how much rest can help your life. However, since having surgery, getting rest has been my top priority, and it has dramatically changed my outlook on stations and even relationships in my life. Enjoy my first episode of 2022 and dive into how my surgery has impacted the way I view rest. 

I discuss things that nobody tells you about becoming a new leader in this episode! So many little things can impact your ability to develop or even be on the same page as other leaders. Hopefully, this episode provides some insight that can help you or anyone you know who wants to be a leader or who might be a current leader and is feeling isolated in their new adventure. 

In this final part 2 episode, the conversation picks up right where we left off in our therapy discussion. We also dive more into emotions, relationships, and ways to improve over the years. We discuss different areas we would love to live in at the end of this, and Willy has some genuinely excellent advice about moving forward and becoming the best version of yourself. 

In this part one episode, Willy and I discuss our love for Pittsburgh, privilege, his career in design, and what that looks like in a tech environment, our healthcare system, and a multitude of other things that we all should be talking more about. 

In this WTF episode, I rant about the annoyance of people acting like your success isn't that great OR worse when you have achieved something, and instead of saying congrats, they tell you the things they have done. Someone else's success is NOT a knock on anything you are doing in your life. The comparisons and lessening of someone else's achievements need to stop. 

In this episode, I talk through how I level set certain things, create a vision for myself and ask for the things I want. Life is hard, but it can be easier if we have a vision and start expressing ourselves, which helps us be more comfortable asking for things we really want. There are also some specific examples of how this happens in practice for me.  

In this episode, I talk about emotional maturity and how we need more in our friendships, relationships, and even business. Having conversations with people should be something we can all do naturally without feeling triggered.
