On this week’s episode we talk our undercover identities. With the advent of social media we all live pretty public lives, sharing ourselves, our travels and our skin care routines for the world to see. However, chances are we’ve left some things hidden. Something that maybe we don’t share with most folks, maybe something that people would never guess of us. In this week’s episode we talk undercover identities and share that we may not really be who you think we are.

On this week’s episode, we talk the power and importance of having an accountability partner. When it comes to reaching our goals, we are better together. Having someone hold you accountable to your goals, affirm you as you climb, and be there when you meet challenges—you trust this person to keep you on the best path forward. Listen to Ashley and Marcy talk about who their primary accountability partners are, how they build trust with people who hold them accountable, and why these commitment coaches are essential for getting things done with integrity and character.

On this week’s episode we talk imposter syndrome. Self doubt is the thief of destiny and being unsure of yourself and your value can rob you of opportunities to advance in life and career.

On this week’s episode, we talk timing. We all have deep-seated dreams and long term goals that we work hard at but another challenge is in handing those over and trusting that God’s timing will deliver to meet your expectations. Many of us have envisioned a very specific future for ourselves, but is it the same one that God would have for us? On this week’s episode, join in as we talk about wrestling with God’s timing, the challenge of envisioning our own future, and what we do when the way we imagined things happening isn’t quite working out.

TVT: A very specific future with This is Us

On this week’s episode we talk making friends with women of other races. When it comes to making friends we often gravitate to people who have shared experiences and are from similar backgrounds and communities as ours. With re segregation & with tensions in this country being at an all time high, it can be hard to foster meaningful relationships with women of different races. Listen as Marcy & Ashley talk their experiences with white women over the years, things that have made these relationships challenging and why fostering meaningful with all women is important to us

On this week’s episode, we talk rejection, perseverance, and goals. When it comes to dating and relationships, “no means no,” but when it comes to pursuing our dreams, hearing “no,” may just mean that we need to find an alternate path. Once we build up the confidence to make an ask or to set a plan in motion, we can’t allow refusal or negative opinion to defeat us. Listen to this week’s episode as Ashley and Marcy discuss pushing past rejection, what workarounds they’ve taken in life to get what they want, and why “no” is rarely the final answer.

On this week’s episode, we talk judging others. Consider what you think when you see a woman with a child acting out in public—screaming, crying, throwing a literal fit. “How can she let him behave that way?” “Why can’t she control her?” or “I would never let happen because I’d…” This isn’t helpful, sis; this is judgement. We all have a natural inclination to watch and judge others, but being critical, particularly of other women, doesn’t provide space for the supportive and encouraging environment that we all need to thrive. Listen as Ashley and Marcy discuss how they themselves have been judged, how they combat judging others, and how to break the bad habit of judging altogether.
