Continuing our conversation on boundaries from episode nine, Demario and I dive into how we parent differently than we were raised. Given the evolution of parenting styles, we chose which aspects to keep and which to let go. From the beginning, we’ve been able to keep our relationship with God the center of everything.

Recently I saw this question, “How do you take back control of your life?” and my immediate answer was “with boundaries”. In this podcast conversation, Demario and I confidently discuss what boundaries are and how they apply to our everyday lives—with family, friends, each other, and our kids. Together, we give a spiritual perspective on establishing boundaries for the Christian space.

Self-care is a very prevailing topic of discussion in today’s climate, but why does mental health seem disregarded, especially in the African-American community? Joining me on this conversation is my longtime friend Sharita Stover, CEO of Mind OK psychotherapy practice. Together, we expound on how the church should be the starting point for mental health discourse in our communities. We need Jesus and therapy.

What can women and young girls do to identify the baggage that they’re carrying around? In this episode, I sit down with Sue Magee Davis, a transformational life coach and soul care practitioner who focuses on emotional healing and well being.

How long do you go without "intimacy" in marriage? I learned the “48-hour rule” a long time ago, and it’s been a healthy part of my marriage ever since! In this episode, my husband, Demario Davis, and I discuss how intimacy can be an awkward conversation in some relationships. Demario gets transparent and shares how he likes to be pursued.
