As I considered the thought of keeping the podcast...I wondered, should I keep the title of the podcast as The HeartHeaded Way...well-yeah! The name still applies. LOL I dig into the reason for the name in a way I hadn't considered before. I'm still giving language to things I'm trying to understand...and I'm doing it The HeartHeaded Way...whew-jump into this with me. 

Happy February! Happy Black History Month! Happy Recalibration Month. For the month of February-I wanna get my body back to the black. January we hit the ground running, and now we need to pause and restore. Our tanks are running on empty! All the rhythms...all the hustle and bustle-let's just chill and enjoy a few small pleasures that bring us joy. I have my list of small pleasures ready to go: Perfume...skin care products...a good book and quiet time. Don't sleep on the "small". 

Shout out to all of us carrying struggles that we don't share. Shout out to all of us dealing with loss. Shout out to all of us who are experiencing change and it's ALOT. Today is not about advice, or fixes-just truth. 

Hey girl...heeyyyy! Listen- we need to give language to our experiences so we can build our path to navigating it and supporting each other. Let's talk about five professional realities we experience and reframe with THE TRUTH.

1. THE DOUBLE BIND

2. THE COMPETENCE TAX

3. PAY, PROMOTION, AND MOVINGG GOALPOSTS

4. OFFICE HOUSEWORK AND EMOTIONAL LABOR

5. ISOLATION AND REPRESENTATION FATIGUE

Listen, girl-I SEE YOU!!!! 

You are who God called you to be even when you are not WHERE you want to be. Keep doing the thing!

Lissseeennn! We are keeping it short and sweet this week. 

We are one week into the new year and I know I said "we got next"..but while we are becoming, are we overlooking all the beauty and the blessings right in front of us? This week let's pause and notice all the things!

What changes are you making this year. This year is about moving the needle forward according to God's plan, not my own. We...got...next!

A year ago,  I had back surgery...three weeks after that I had another back surgery.  This has been a year of rebuilding De. It has been hard and "this" hard rendered me vulnerable. I thought I had it all figured out. It turns out-I didn't. LOL My focus is new, and so are my plans. Instead of focusing on the results, I will  be focused on the process...on the seeds I've been given. I will leave the rest up to HIM. 

It has been a difficult year to say these least. I am calling this whole year a "valley" year. As I journey towards healing...I need to re-establish my community and there is no other way than a book club! Also-I joined a new hood...grandparent HOOD. 

De and Corrie are back with a fitness update. They are discussing eating and working out-then it took a turn to arguing about peace...triggers...boundaries. LOL The conversation was supposed to be about unhealthy habit or patterns. What happened?!
