Your boy is tired...It's been a long month and I've been on the move every day, every weekend, and it's my own doing. It's okay to rest and take time off if needed. I just needed the reminder for my body tells me to sit my ass down!

So much going on recently and I have so many thoughts and opinions, though it's difficult for me to get it all out in a way that's understandable. I'm human, I'm hurting, I'm angry, I'm sad, and I'm still going to keep doing good in this world.

You ever wonder about people who you used to talk to and then all of a sudden communication between you just stops? Yeah, it happens to me too. Listen as I talk about how we can navigate those losses and appreciate the time we actually got to spend with them.

Man, do you ever feel like you're doing a shitty job as a parent? I can't front, there are several times where I feel like everything I do is wrong and that I'm doing a horrible job as dad. Listen as I talk about some of the do's and don'ts of parenthood.

This has been a damn good weekend! So many awesome things happened this weekend, in particular our second annual Black Fathers Summit. Such a dope experience especially with the amount of growth we had from year one to year two. We are going to get better and better every year. If you have suggestions about how to improve the podcast or what you would like to see, leave a comment or drop me a message through the website: https://www.thedopeblacktherapist.com/contact

What's going on everybody?! Consistent podcast reloading, lol. Just returned from Edinburgh, Scotland from the Doubt Yourself and Do It Anyways Summit. Y'all, I had the most fun, but I can't front, it was an adventure to get to there! Nothing The Dope Black Therapist can't handle though. It was an amazing experience and I catch you up on all of the tea in this episode.

The last men's group that I'm hosting is coming up on Thursday, July 24th at 8pm EST. My son made the JV team and his games are on Thursdays, but don't fret, I'll be back to hosting after the season is over. You can register for the next group here: https://www.thedopeblacktherapist.com/mens-group

How often do we allow opportunities to pass us by because we are afraid to step out of the shadow of doubt? I imagine it happens more than we care to admit. Personally, I've been guilty of this because I don't want to fail, but also, I don't think people want to hear what I have to say or show. To hell with that noise! Show up and show those folks who you are and what you can do! Nobody can do it the way you do, so show out and let em know who they are dealing with!
