P.U.R.E. Moments

In this week's episode, I share with you my personal relationship with my mother. As a little girl, my mother and I did not have the best relationship. I rarely told her what was going in my life, at school or my relationships. My reason being is because I never felt as though she would understand me. My mother was the disciplinary of our family. Anytime you got in trouble at school, my mother was the one who gave the beating, put you on punishment etc.

So when I left for college I viewed that as my way to distance myself even further from her. I rarely called while away at college. I went home often, but I never really shared with her my full college experience. It wasn't until I had my daughter in May 2007 that my mother and I relationship began to rebuild. For the first year of my daughter being born, my mother was with me every step of the way. I was dealing with an emotional break up with my daughter father and my mother was there to remind me that all things will work and be ok. During that year she shared stories with me about her past relationships and how she moved on from them. When she opened up to me as if it was two friends talking, I started to see her in a different light.

As you continue to listen to the episode, you will hear more examples on how my mother and I have built an unforgettable bond. I encourage you to allow your mom to be who she needs to be for you. I know it may seem as though she doesn't understand you nor does she allow you to do much, but I promise it's only because her first assignment as your mother is to protect you.

I hope you enjoy the episode and I look forward to reading the comments. Also, if you love it that much, please rate this episode and others on Itunes!

Ok if you haven't listened to the song "Nice for What" by Drake I need you to stop what your doing and click here (explicit version). In this week's episode I share with you my running experience during the 10 mile Broad Street Run. Completing that race was such a great accomplishment for me. I never imagined myself running 10 miles, but God spoke to me during that run and told me that if I apply this method of one foot in front of the other. I will conquered my dreams sooner rather than later.

In the second part of this episode, I talk about how the song "Nice for What" is truly truly my anthem lol. When I saw the hashtag #niceforwhat being used by Mrs. Kahlana Barfield Brown I wondered what she meant by that. Then my cousin and few Philadelphia entrepreneurs made their own music video using this song and again I wondered who song was this. So one day after work I was listening to the radio, something I rarely do, and I heard the song. I looked on my dashboard and saw the artist name and the song!! I was sooo hype to have now put all the puzzle pieces together lol.

During the episode, I discuss how this song relates to me in more ways than one. The song is empowering and motivating. Majority of today's music doesn't shed light on women who are making positive moves within our communities, careers and lives. The top of discussion these days about women mainly revolve around our body types and so on. So for me this song is like a breathe of fresh air. Mothers I encourage you to listen to this song with your daughter and have a conversation about the lyrics. Click here for the clean version.

I would love to hear your thoughts about the song. You can send your thoughts and comments to [email protected] and I will happily read and respond to your comments.
