On this week's episode,  I teamed up with Dr. Laura Sinko from Our Wave, a non - profit organization designed as a place of support and self healing for loved ones impacted by a traumatic event. This week's episode is an open dialogue about surviving, healing , and trauma. We dive into the work of healing and share our own personal stories. 

Healing is possible. 

Hey y'all, 

I have a special episode airing this week! Today, I am feeling extra thankful and wanted to just share my thoughts with you. This year has been a rollercoaster indeed, but I am so beyond grateful for what this year brought me despite the circumstances. Sending you all love and light this holiday season. 

ps. sorry for the weird background noise... smh! 

This week's episode is all about surviving, healing, and living unapologetically. I have my friend and fellow One Love Workshop Facilitator, Gina Mellish, who also happens to hold the current Miss New Jersey USA title! We are bringing you the real of the real of our unhealthy relationships, how we are moving forward and healing, and dropping some gems on spotting red flags. 

If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship or situation, know that there is resources available and you are not alone. Visit my blog for more information or my IG page at @taytalks for some helpful tips. 

In this episode,  we are talking all about faith, prayer, self care, and SOUL care. Advice topics - prayer, talking to God, and making time for yourself.

By  popular demand, I am chatting all things boundaries and self love. Joining me on this week's podcast is my college friend, Josefina, who is the QUEEN of setting boundaries and standing up for herself. Get ready to giggle giggle and be read to filth like I was. Don't forget to know your worth and add tax too. Period.  

Love is the most important thing in our lives, yet we are taught very little about it. This week's episode, is all about loving better and ways to identify healthy and unhealthy relationships.
