Sooooooo, this just might be my favorite episode yet! Y'all know how much I love to get personal and so I just let all that I've been feeling these past couple of days pour out of me.

I realized that while I'm so busy trying to handle everything, take care of everything, there's no one there to take care of me. I don't just want a #softlife, I want a #softlove. Just hear me out...

So much swirling around the world wide web and social media and I just had ENOUGH! I thought so much about how I felt while I was married, when I decided to separate, when I decided to go public, to speak my truth, and how it was received. I thought about how I felt throughout the process of it all. I thought about the things people said directly to me, behind my back, or thought but never said aloud.

I think about how hard it is to be a goddamn WOMAN! How HARD it is for US to speak OUR truths and how men can go public, write books and talk all about their wild lives, how they cheated on their wives, or were a shark in their field to get ahead and how they are PRAISED for their authenticity and yet the moment that a woman tells HER STORY, HER TRUTH, she becomes the laughing stock of the internet. The woman who is EMBARRASSING her husband and I have some shit to get off my chest!

Share your thoughts AFTER you FULLY listen to the episode.

“Queen Talks with Nerra” is back with track of season 4!!! I had the privilege of tapping into @drbridgetmd on the topic of using marijuana in the #softgirlera. We discussed the benefits of marijuana, the laws, the stigmas that have made many users feel guilty, and how and where you can purchase some of the amazing CBD products that the doctor has to offer! We had a wonderful, informative discussion so be sure to #stream it, #download it, #like it, and most importantly, #SHARE it!!!! We only grow when we do it together.

Each year I try to grow, to be a better version of myself than I was the year before. If I take an honest look at myself, I can say that in some ways I have and in other areas, a girl still has work to do! This year, I am all about surrendering to the Divine! Getting out of my own way and making room for what is meant for me and guess what? That shit is hard! Join me for this week's episode as I break down exactly what my mood/theme of 2023 is!

And how I'm holding the glass of Prosecco in the pic is EXACTLY how I'll be listening to tonight's episode dropping at 11pm EST, but with a glass of Brut.

I want to get comfortable so I can enjoy this episode with my sister and licensed counselor, @sen.tered who is currently attending an amazing PhD program as well, as we discuss trauma bonding more in depth.

Sis dropped some jewels that we can ALL benefit from hearing, acknowledging, and then putting into practice. Set your clocks, make sure you are #SUBSCRIBED and go on this journey with us!

Trauma bonding happens when an abuser uses manipulation tactics and cycles of abuse to make the victim feel dependent on them for care and validation, causing a strong attachment or bond. This often occurs in romantic narcissistic relationships, but can also occur in families, friendships, or work relationships. -Erica Laub

This topic needed more than one episode because it's such a heavy topic that so many of us are dealing with and so, this episode is all about recognizing the signs of trauma bonding.

As I was posting this to my story, I was thinking I should totally be dropping bombass Playlists to accompany my episodes!!! I just might do that but, my song of the week is "Sober" the acoustic version by Mahalia. Time to be sober and leave behind toxic, trauma induced relationships!
