Activist, Marine & Black Man, Justin talks about living in Orange Co., Ca. We have less than 1% of Blacks living here. Why is that? What’s up with the white supremacy? How do we make things more balanced here? In this 1st out of 3 conversations we talk about therapy, PTSD, mental health and where we can go from here. #blacklivesmatter #protest #activist #huntingtonbeachactivist #usmarine

Why do we let what others think of us hold so much weight? Let’s face it, we all are self conscious when we feel like we’re being judged. Feeling judged is not fun, but there are big fat lessons to learn from digging deep and looking at the situation and finding the learnings from it all. #feelingjudged #chasingjoy #makingmistakes #judgemental #judgemuch?

Hey Hey! Outspoken Women alert! Southern 30 something (Fiona) meets West Coast 40 something(me) meets MidWestern 20 year old(Amber) Three opinionated, gorgeous souls speak vulnerably about how we see our physical selves! Why are we so kind to our friends and so brutal with ourselves about body image? How did we become conditioned to think being “fat” was to be hideous? What is the new standard of sexy and is our culture changing its attitudes about body acceptance? Three strong women talk about body acceptance, and how we are trying to reparent ourselves into a healthier mindset about our bodies! #bodypositivity #lovetheskinyouarein #momlife #mombody #learningtolovemybody

Chatting about how coming home to your actual physical space is important, but coming back to another more important routine, Your “mental routine,”can feel like home too! We have our physical home that is comforting, keeps us dry in the rain. We also have a second home, one that we can take anywhere, I’m referring to our mental home! In this conversation we talk about how to protect your mental health by having a regular physical AND mental routine that you stick to. #mentalhealth #momsandmentalhealth #chasinggoals #momroutine #momlife

Scarlet and I got the true pleasure of interviewing a Huntington Beach Legend! Mr. Simmons is a staple at Huntington Beach High School and is a founder of the APA program which integrates music with media. In our conversation we discuss how he has worked the civil rights movements history in with his music history to give kids a very well rounded glimpse into our past. #musicandcivilrights #teachingthemright #activismandeducation #musicteacher #michaelsimmons

Have you ever found in yourself in that ugly place where you are judging others? I have. I’ve observed it as a habit and I’ve been trying to examine my judgement journey and at the same time not fall and too much judgment about myself for being judge mental. There are lots of reasons that we fall into judgment attitudes! Are we worried about a child who is under performing? Is it because we are worried about a loved one who was fell into addiction? How about our community members who are homeless that we pass on the street every day? When we stop to examine whether or not our judgment is serving anyone it is eye opening what we find at the bottom of the judgement barrel. #judgement #judgementalmom #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #momlife

A conversation with Alex from rural Alabama, a 19 year old college freshman who prefers they/them for pronouns. We talk about starting a group for LGBTQ support in high school , we discuss bias, about how much we all need a tribe, (and how hard that can be to find.) Alex and I talk about how sometimes just one person can make a huge difference. This beautiful soul makes space online for marginalized groups, So very honored to record this story with Alex who is shining a light with spectacular and engaging writing. #lgbtq #gayrights #bornthisway #lgbtqinthesouth #lgbtqactivist

Is our mental health and mental longevity as important as our physical health and physical longevity? Ummm YEP! I bought into making the time for physical health after I ran into illness from being inactive. I’m starting to realize that I’ve got to demand QUIET, aloneness and much needed me time. I’m seeing that if I don’t, I’m not able to show up as a whole person. #meditation #alonetime #momneedsalonetime #momlife #momneedsabreak #silenceisgolden
