These conversations surround all things mental health including physical and spiritual health. The EVOLVING conversations are sure to have you leave better than you came so have a seat to begin your journey on evolving into your best self to live your best life.

This session, I'm joined by a dope guest, that's doing some great things in her community in L.A. Jasmine Gates is an educator who finds her passion from serving her community. She is the host of The Initiativ Radio Show - which is an extension of her organization. She definitely is a black history maker to be on the look out for. During #POPTHERAPY Jasmine and I dissect J. Cole's latest album and what this means for saints, kids and us as a culture. Jasmine shares how she is moving beyond just being a teacher in the classroom but supporting the whole child. She shares her #WELLNESS TIP for us to EVOLVE into our best self to live our best life in order to live out our purpose. Grab a seat, journal and pen because you will surely feel energized to start operating in your purpose.

This session I have Arnitta Holliman, LPC joining us for the entire show! Arnitta is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Milwaukee. She is helping and saving marriages and now she is here to help us lay that foundation for a successful relationship. Last season we focused on how to maintain relationships, today we are focused on setting the foundation. Have you ever thought, "How do I know I'm ready for a relationship?", " I want to be with someone but I still have things to work on", " I know what I don't want in a significant other but do I know what I want in one?", these are a few questions we will be tackling along with others. Take a seat and join the conversation as we talk about different love relationships and more!
