On this eve of Thanksgiving, I want to remind each of you to give yourself and others grace. Everyone of us are going through something and it hits different for each of us.

In this short episode, I'm reminded that there is peace, freedom and joy when you lean in and realize you're exactly where you're supposed to be...in the moment. 

Do you. Be you. Most of all live your legacy!

This episode is powerful. It's deep and it cuts to the core of some major reasons why women find it hard to ask for help.

It's ironic that often women find it easy to be the help but embarrassed and ashamed to ask for help; even if it means they'll grow to another level. Although this episode is about women, I know my men can pick up these gems too. 

Listen in as Melonie, Camille and I share very personal stories about hurting, healing, being and asking for help.

Cliches block the flow of our own thoughts and ideas. While cliches are mostly known to be used in writing, for many of us they have shaped how we interact (or don't) with others.

In this episode, Patricia L., a doctoral candidate in Urban Education, and April G., an entrepreneur, share their experiences with cliches and the profound effects (both negative and positive) they had in their personal and professional relationships.

Get into this episode and reflect on the things that you've held on to, or still holding, that may not be serving you well in this season of your life.

In this day and age of digital information, it's easy to get caught up or distracted with just where to begin.

This episode is a conversation with our guest, Shayla Redding, an artist with lots of ideas but no where to start. We may be talking about business but these nuggets can be applied to life situations too.

Next Steps:

Let's be honest, waiting is hard. 

The list can go on and on. When it seems that you are in a perpetual waiting stage, how do you handle it? How much do you complain and bicker and worry? Do you think this has an effect on the end result?

In this week's episode, Karyn Jeneen, talks about the BEST way to handle in the meantime moments. This one is sure to challenge you and your own status quo.

Next Steps:

The age old saying, you can take a horse to water but you can't make him drink, is appropriate for this episode.

Often we speak about not having access to things that would help us get to the next level. In this episode, Jamar candidly talks about how his family has access to a multi-millionaire yet they lack showing up. 

I'm left to wonder, what's the real issue. Is it the access or is shame, guilt or embarrassment. Until the root of the issues are confronted, we will continue to find ourselves behind the eight ball.

Wealth is a choice that each of us make with every belief, every decision and every action or even inaction.

Next Steps:

The words you say to yourself and the things other people say to you shape who you become. Our brain just associates words with incidents without making any distinctions between them. 

Words have influence. When you use words to label, it's your obligation to ensure that the words are positive and make other people feel loved and valued. 

Karyn discusses events in her own life that had a negative effect in her business. Recognize and acknowledge both the positive and negative remarks that have shaped you. In the end your words must be more powerful than those of others.

If you've been stuck in a rut, frustrated with situations in your life and/or business, this episode is for you. More than likely, words have contributed to your outcome.

Keep listening for more insight and opinions.

Next Steps:

What you believe about yourself will determine how you live. Does the value of money match your beliefs? 

To disclose your money patterns and the underlying reality of what you think, three fundamental questions must be asked. 

Money enables us to be kind and generous with others. Similar to how a desire for money can make you stray from things that give you direction and purpose. True prosperity is so much more than financial success; it has nothing to do with money. 

Keep listening for her opinions and thoughts.
