SImply Straight Talk

Welcome to the Simply Straight Talk Podcast with your host Melissa Shaw and Reggie!

Chances are you have been through at least one breakup in your life. Nobody finds them easy, but because we are all humans with emotional needs and attachments, we have a natural desire for connections. Unfortunately, we may fall into traps that make breaking up with a partner even more difficult than it has to be.

"Breakups happen for a whole host of reasons," as we all know. When kids are involved, parents may become even more emotionally compromised. In come circumstances, the kids become weapons or pawns in the adult’s game of manipulation and strategic attacks against their ex. In this episode Melissa and Reggie are discussing the ins and out of breakups such as one partner not letting go, coping mechanism, depression, self confidence and so much more.

Welcome to the Simply Straight Talk Podcast with your hosts Angelique and Reggie. In this episode, they are discussing “Forgiveness and Shame”. We also discuss Angelique new website; the link is located below.

Sometimes we feel shame because we have been taught to think of ourselves as wrong or broken. Shame can occur when past choices haunt us or when we feel regret for what we did to someone else, including things we have done to ourselves. Without self-forgiveness, your shame may lead you to do things for which you feel even more ashamed. Emotionally you may begin to build shame on top of shame.

Forgiveness is the act of forgiving yourself or someone else for something they have done that has offended you or caused you some form of emotional or physical pain. To forgive someone is to let go of any harsh or judgmental feelings for a specific act. Many people struggle with forgiveness because speaking the words, “I forgive you” is a lot easier than forgetting the actions of a person that hurt. Especially it that person was a family member or close friend.

This discussion will share some tips and advice regarding forgiveness and shame. Share your thoughts and comments with us on how you deal with forgiveness and shame.

Welcome to the Simply Straight Talk Podcast with your host Reggie! Today's show is all about finding solutions for the police and the communities they serve. 

In many communities across the United States there is a lack of mutual trust and respect between law enforcement and minority communities, allegations of police misconduct, perceptions of racial profiling, excessive use of force, abusive use of authority has created a negative relationship between the communities and the police departments. On the other hand, building trust and nurturing fair-mindedness in behavior and actions on both sides is a critical aspect of strengthening the relationship between citizens and the law enforcement agencies that serve them.

Some people believe it's better to allow certain things in relationships to sort themselves out.

If you were to answer the questions below, how would you rate your communication and expectations in your relationship?

• If you would like something to change, do you feel comfortable asking?
