“Rewine-ing The Week" with K & J

Hey friends! So this episode is a little different from the others. We just decided to grab the mic and have an open discussion about various topics no structure just wine and chat. The noise with the bells is my dog going back and forth. Normally she is busy while we are recording but I guess she wanted to be part of the conversation. Take a listen and thank you for your support. 

Hey "friens", for this week's episode we wanted to talk about family relationships and in some cases the lake thereof! We talked about finding our family roots using ancestry.com. We also discussed that family doesn't mean always a blood relative but can be with friends who stick closer than a brother.  Oh and how can we forget the red silhouette challenge  We also talked about black history month #365 Wine - Merlot and sauvignon blanc

Hey "friens" Episode 2 we are talking about setting ground rules when it comes to relationships. How would you handle the open relationship question if it were to be brought up? What rules do you set when it comes to possibly move in with your partner? We were joined by our friend Ms Kee who just graduated from Bowie State 2020. We also talked about the upcoming final season of Insecure. We also gave a shout out to the black own business that has been around for 50 years in Falls Church, VA Smitty's Barbershop. 

Wine for the show "Sweet Bitch" - Mocasto and Rosè

Hey did you miss us!? We missed you thank you so much for the support. For our first episode of Season Three, we decided to breakdown the Etsy commercial where the couple meets the family during the holidays. We wanted to see when is exactly the right time to have your friends and family meet your partner. I suggested that after 5 months then my partner can meet my friends and then I will introduce them to the family! What do you think about our timelines we discussed on the show?

Hey friends! It's K & J again. We have been away for a while doing other projects for work and personals. For our season finale, we wanted to share how thankful we are for our listeners and friends of the show. We were joined by our friend of the show Brannon who did the "Pop the Cork" and "Grab Your Glasses" with us! It is always fun to have him on the show.  What are you thankful for in a time of so much going on from Covid to Elections, and more?  What we were drinking- McBride Sisters Sauvignon Blanc - Helping to empower women in the wine industry.

Brannon Edwards worked on Capitol Hill he has a degree in Political Science with a focus on American Politics. We talked about the importance of voting. We hear a lot of people say Your Vote, Your Voice. However, many people do not consider that to be the case. We dived into that statement and also discussed the importance of voting not just in the presidential election, your state and local ones as well. We always wanted to think about what words and information could we share with friends or someone who is undecided.  For the Black Owned Business Shout Out: DayLeighStyle.Com with Owner Leigh Walters!

Remember to Vote- Nov 3, Don't forget when its time for midterm elections as well and your local elections. 

For this week's episode of "Rewine-ing," we wanted to focus on mental health. I think in the Black community, it is not always a comfortable discussion. I know from personal experiences that if you are dealing with depression or a form of mental illness, some think its because you are not praying enough. Some would even go as far and claim you're not spending enough time with God. That if you are depressed, you need to take that to the Lord and pray. I am all for reading my bible, devotion, and the ten commandments. However, I understand that I can have a personal relationship with God and still struggle with my thoughts. Joyce Meyer has a book and teaching series called "Battlefield of the Mind."  I have had moments where I had to take time away from people to process what is going on in my life. Many friends see my smile, hear my jokes, and pictures and think I must have it made. Yes, I am blessed, but at times I don't feel like I am. I have my struggles, and when I do feel a mental moment coming, I call a friend or my counselor. I think it is important to have an outlet or someone you can vent too. Depression is something that we have to go through at times alone. I encourage people to try not to stay down and out for long without seeking help. When I feel overwhelmed, I tell my close friends that I'm going to take a "Me" day. If I am still not feeling like myself, I call my counselor.

In the episode, my friend Arturo Hill from "Real Tea Real Talk" joined in on the discussion. He works in the field of Sexual and Mental health. Together we opened up about our experience with mental health and finding the recourses to cope.

This week, I wanted to shine a light, on how Black LGBTQ Youth are not getting the help that they need for mental support. The rate of professional care and resources for Black LGBTQ Youth is at a low rate. Finding Support:https://www.thetrevorproject.org/2020/06/01/supporting-black-lgbtq-youth-mental-health/

Hey friends and family, Thank you again for the support, the feedback about this Season is amazing. We will continue to work hard and share content that matters to you and our community. For this week's episode, we wanted to talk about Vision Boards. I have a vision planner that is similar to having a poster board. The only difference is I can carry it with me. I think its important to have something in front of or beside you to remind you of your goals. That even if you set something to be done and realize that you didn't accomplish that goal, that's okay. Don't beat yourself up about it. It's part of your journey and testimony. Stay focus. Let us know what you think of Vision Boards. 

Wine- McBride Sisters - Riesling  - 

 Hey friends! Thank you so much for the support as we head into another season of the Podcast. For this episode, we were joined by a friend of the show Jamir Smith. He is the host of the "Jamir Smith Show Podcast." He has an amazing podcast that is available on many podcast platforms. He covers a range of topics Fashion, Mental Health, and of course the show Insecure. I am honored to have him as the first guest on our Podcast. Let's dive in! We talked about dating yourself. The importance of taking yourself out every once in a while. I know for me I try to treat myself to the spa, my own flowers, and dinner. I feel that if I am waiting around for someone to do that, then I lose my own self-value. Jamir, Ken, and I discussed whether we can find a partner or a potential one on the dating apps. "Grab Your Glasses " and take a listen. 

 Hey, "Rewiners"- We are Back! We popped open the champagne and toasted to a new season and new growth. For this episode K and J wanted to share what going to the next level/season means for us. Does it mean we change who we are, our circle, or our environment? For me, it seems like moving to another season can be a little "uncomfortable". I heard the saying from a Kirk Franklin song that in order to grow we need some "rain". That's true in our lives. We shouldn't stay in the same place year after year. We need the opportunity to find growth, to find ourselves. The hard part about new seasons in our lives is that some people who we know may not grow with us. I understand that though it may hurt it is necessary. So listen and tell us what you think! Follow us on Youtube: "Rewine-ing the Week" With K &J Gmail: [email protected] and JamalSGordon.Com
