I had the pleasure of interviewing a representative of Generation Z, as well as a young collegiate student pursuing a degree in one of the most at-risk fields in the country at this time...the medical field, more specifically Respiratory Therapy.

It just so happens that this wonderful, young woman happens to be my sister-in law. yeah Yeah...I know what you're thinking--Why would you interview someone you know?? Perfect question--especially since realizing I don't know her at all.  I discovered a lot with this interview. The ability for this younger generation to potentially defeat the odds and overturn these false pretenses about them. There is hope in our youth, but I also realized some of our youth also do not take the time to BREATHE and take time for themselves.

Listen while we have a little Girl Chat + God Talk+ Political/COVID rant + some life talk. Enjoy and remember to BREATHE!

Hey Gumbeaux Fam!!

I had the pleasure of interviewing one of the most captivating Black Mental Health Activist of our time, who is also a licensed counselor: 
*Asha Gibson (IG/Twitter: @shespeakstherapy)*

I am honored to know her and call her one of my sister-friends. She is a ball of energy, but an amazing source of information and a wealth of knowledge. She carries herself with such poise, and she is so modest that you would not expect this woman to be such a FORCE--but she is a MOVEMENT BY HERSELF. 

Listen in as we explore her journey in becoming, what I believe, one of THE major therapist leading this cultural shift.

Moving on to PART 2!
My apologies in advance if this episode comes off a bit more abrasive than I’ve been in the past episodes...BUT this one hit home! 

In a nutshell *I said to myself*: You don’t even know how worthy you are! You won’t even pay YOU for what you bring to the table—why you ask?? Some of you are constantly “compromising your number” to appease whomever bc somehow you’ve lost focus of who/what needs who. THEY need YOU. Not the other way around. 

THE REAL REASON YOU MAD IS BC YOU OWN NOTHING AND WILLING TO ENSLAVE YOURSELF TO/FOR ANYTHING!

Uh oh! Twofer! 

2 for 1 special right here, Gumbeaux Fam! So I guess this is a large Gumbo with a side of potato salad 🧐 

We got yet another SERIES, y’all. This one is “Give Yourself MORE GRACE”. I hope you enjoy part 1 as we explore what “Giving Grace” means to me and how we can begin to do that. 

•First, as yourself ‘HOW IMPORTANT ARE YOU TO YOU?’

Hey Gumbeaux Fam!

I have been “creatively constipated” and was blaming it on feeling overworked, stressed, spent—all of the above due to my inability to master work-life balance during a pandemic. 

Let’s just say I had a harsh lesson in “Giving Yourself More Grace” this past month, and it was a very humbling lesson.

Listen in as I explore “Black Heart 🖤”, a term that takes on BOTH: an individual’s inability to effectively show or give empathy/grace in areas where they desperately need to & Black Mental Health’s lack of “protection”/support within the African-American community.

Welcome back, Gumbeaux Fam!!
This interview was special---like all the others.

Sierra is a Nurse, Certified Fitness Trainer, Wife, Mom, and so much more. She agreed to come to The Gumbeaux Podcast (no pressure, right?) to share her secret ingredient to the pot I am calling (F.I.T-Female In Training; Freedom In Talk-Therapy; Female/Femininity In Transition, and I can go on & on like Erykah Badu, Lol)

Transparency is a Superpower, and Sierra left her a piece of her heart on the table for us to see. Listen in on this vulnerable conversation where we take a verbal journey through loving self from the INSIDE--out. Enjoy.

SEASON 2 HERE WE ARE! WE MADE IT!!
DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR RATING. :)

First and foremost, thank you for listening!

Guess what, y'all? There's a rapidly growing webshow via Facebook called "Paul Don't Lie". (Go visit the hashtag #PaulDon'tLie on Facebook). Well, I was invited on and took part in dialogue centered around {Mental Health}. This interview took place on June 4, 2020, and I wanted to kickoff Season 2 with this featured episode from the Facebook Live.

The feedback from this show has been overwhelming. The traction continues to grow stronger and all I want to do is continue this much needed conversation. I want you to enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed participating.

Buckle up...this is a 90 minute ride.

Silence is defined as the avoidance of mentioning or discussing something.

Gumbeaux Fam, we are not being SILENT at a time like this—I just cannot. This has been an emotionally exhausting week. Listen in to the highs and lows of all of this past week’s impact on me. 

I am continuing to pray for peace in our country. Please do not let your silence be an indication of support for injustice. 🖤
