Radical Alignment

What's up RAP Gang?! Feeling stuck? Or maybe unmotivated? Well these are some pretty common symptoms of "burnout" and its quite common around this time of year! Luckily today we can prescribe you a dose of Radical Alignment as we discuss symptoms of burnout and explore ways of managing it. When your cup is empty, do you listen to the universe when it's time to fill it or ask for help? When life demands you slow down due to an unexpected inconvenience, do you take heed? Grab a journal and answer some of these questions for yourself and tune in with the RAP Pack on one of our most uncomfortable conversations! But not TOO uncomfortable. This is always a safe space! 

The wait is over! Did you miss us??? Cause we missed y'all! Welcome to SZN 3 of Radical Alignment! How ya mama n'em? We are starting the season at full speed as we celebrate the final season of Insecure! We are discussing friend dynamics and the changes that they go through as we grow into different phases of adulthood. The adult trauma is real, and it's important that we learn to shift and show up for the people we love most as life's changes and challenges present themself. When your foundation is tested are you 10 toes down? Do you know when and how to show up, when called upon? Do you know how to be shown up for? When is it time to take the funny friend seriously? How do you know when shit gets real? Not all aspects of friendships were made to be comfortable. In fact, it is through that discomfort that we evolve and learn to love even deeper. Join us as we navigate these conversations and be sure to have them with your own tribe! 

Well well well RAP Gang! We have reached the end of yet another Season of Radical Alignment!!! To stay very on-brand as we like to do, we are discussing all aspects of ENDINGS. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Do endings really have to be so bad? A beginning always follows an ending and we are talking about all of the ways that we can embrace them. Forgiveness, gratitude, acceptance, rest, recuperation and planning for the future are all themes as we head into Fall Equinox and into Virgo SZN! Make your lists, reset those goals and clean out those closets!!! Until next SZN, the RAP Pack sends you ALL of our love!!!! And that's a wRAP!!!

WE HAVE ARRIVED!!! We are wRAPping up our final episode in the Relationship Series and we have THREE amazing and VERY moisturized guests on the show to offer a few male perspectives on the topics that we have discussed in the last two episodes of the series! The answer is, YES. IT GETS DEEP! Partnerships involve at least two parties, so to balance out the energy, we've absolutely GOT to examine a masculine perspective. The fellas were definitely on point in their arguments and dug deep to share some personal experiences that you do not want to miss out on hearing! Join us with our creative friends, The Royal Chief, Quinton Burnett, and Dominick of Huti Yoga (from episode 3 lol) as we explore relationships from the other side of the fence on this SUPER special episode of Radical Alignment!

Whew, we are coming in HOT for our second episode of our Relationship series! 🥵We are talking any and everything concerning Attachment Styles (Cori's blog article for reference: https://dariasmodlife.wordpress.com/2019/07/31/dating-attachment-styles/). Knowing your attachment style, as well as your partner's attachment style is SUPER important when trying to blossom a healthy relationship. We'd argue that it's even more important than your love languages! We re-visit our personal inner child work and dig deep to process our own attachment styles and how peeling back that layer of self-awareness is so crucial for personal development. Please take a look at Cori's article and figure out your own attachment style, if you don't know yours yet! You might need the whole bottle of wine for this one, but we invite you to share this safe space with us as we tackle this VERY important aspect of intimate relationships!!!

What's good, RAP gang?? We took a couple of weeks off to focus on mental health and wellbeing, but we are back with a BANG at the start of our long awaited RELATIONSHIP SERIESSSSS! We know your twitter fingers can't wait to see what we have cooked up for you on this episode. We start off with the giant topic of vulnerability. How do we create safe spaces in our romantic relationships for vulnerable communication? How can we conquer acceptance of ourselves and others to make our connections even stronger? Get your pen and paper because we want the thoughts of our amazing listeners as we navigate this series! Brew you some tea and enjoy, friend! This one's gonna be a doozy!

What's good RAP Gang?? Sorry for the wait, but we definitely made it worth your while! We are talking black athletes and what it's like to be one. With the world consumed by the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, it is vital that we discuss the very obvious differences between the black and non-black experiences in competitive sports. Needless to say, we will be discussing Sha'Carri Richardson and the very real challenges black female athletes face for simply being great at what they do. We all know that racism is commonplace in the world of sports, but where does it start? How does it feel? What does it look like? We are identifying normalized discriminatory practices, specifically for black women in sports; from micro-aggressions, to biased officials. We are covering it ALL on this highly anticipated episode of Radical Alignment!
