In this episode, Dr. Teresa A. Smith, Dr. TAS, welcomes bestselling author, ordained minister, dating coach, publisher, and media personality Dr. Velma Bagley for a powerful conversation about finding your voice after corporate life, rebuilding identity after loss, spiritual preparation, and learning how to walk boldly in your purpose.

Talk With TAS is a personal transformation and emotional wellness podcast featuring healing conversations about family, resilience, emotional healing, parenting, self-worth, leadership, and breaking generational cycles through love and connection.

In this episode, Dr. Teresa A. Smith, Dr. TAS, welcomes educator, parent trainer, community advocate, and author Dr. Ed Bell for a powerful conversation about the emotional impact of hearing the words “I love you” and why those words still matter deeply in homes, schools, and communities today.

Through honest life conversations and emotional wellness reflections, Dr. TAS and Dr. Bell explore generational trauma, affirmation, parenting, emotional healing, self-worth, youth development, relationships, and the importance of expressing care through both words and actions. This healing conversation unpacks how many adults grew up experiencing love through survival and sacrifice instead of verbal affirmation and how that silence can quietly shape identity, relationships, and emotional connection later in life.

Dr. Bell also discusses his children’s book I Love You, breaking unhealthy emotional patterns, affirming children early, jealousy, labels placed on students, and why love helps people celebrate others instead of competing against them.

If you are navigating parenting, emotional healing, generational trauma, self-worth, family relationships, youth mentorship, or searching for encouragement and connection during difficult seasons, this episode offers grounded wisdom, heartfelt reflection, and transformational encouragement for the journey ahead.
