Having a strong mental approach can be extremely helpful in overcoming some physical challenges in life. This week’s topic touches on importance of staying mentally sharp when going’s through a time of crisis, my experience that gave me that understanding, and more. Here is the T-Boz interview that sparked this conversation https://youtu.be/_KRkxFajCFc

On this Mother’s Day, I wanted to show what a mother {Nat} who is raising a beautiful daughter {Sav} is dealing with because of SIckle Cell Anemia. Nat speaks on her fears as a mother, her struggles as a woman and her hopes for her daughter’s quality of life with SCD. I share some of my POV to help ease her fears as we navigate through Sav’s first crisis and how she responded to it. Happy Mothers Day to everyone woman who is a motherly figure in anyone’s life!

Welcome • It’s been a few months since I’ve last recorded and released an episode, and saw the beginning of “Mental Health Awareness Month” as an amazing chance to discuss my “hiatus”. Ive been trying to become a better me and that means understanding and taking better care of my mental health especially if and when it relates to sickle cell anemia. Enjoy!

@JRock2416 and I literally have an open dialogue and touch some so interesting POV regarding Sickle Cell Anemia from Ego, your aspirations as a child vs the reality’s an adult, employment issues, fatigue, being a man with responsibility while having Sickle Cell and sooo much more. Digest these 2 hours + hours of information however you see fit! Thank you to everyone that’s pressed play and have allowed this dialogue to slowly open up in our community. Your opinions and concerns help making this something worth so much more than time so thank you for the support in 2018 and Lord Willing we all will have more meaningful and thought provoking conversations about Sickle Cell Anemia in 2019.

As we are well into the holidays, I wanted to talk about gratitude and appreciation. As much as we all can be so consumed with making sure everyone receives the perfect gift, just acknowledging the little things you have can easily fall to the waste side. This episode was inspired by some disturbing news I received a few hours prior which greatly affected my tone but reminded me that WE ALL need to be appreciative and grateful no matter what is occurring in your life because it can truly become worst in seconds. LOVE YOURS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

On The Bond of Brothers part 2, Remi and I continue our conversation and touch on the appearance of someone with Sickle Cell Anemia and those stereotypes, insurance and the importance of it to EVERYONE but especially someone with a pre existing health condition. Enjoy!

The first guest is my very own brother, Remi Adegbola also know to most as “Rem”. Having grown up with Sickle Cell Anemia, we discuss a few topics that we both talk about on a normal occurrence from work and hospital stays to our personal experience as brothers having a bond through Sickle Cell Anemia.
