  • Black Sexuality in America with Nicole Goode
    In this episode, we dig into black sexuality in the larger context of life. Nicole Goode, who is a sociologist and sexologist, deals in healthy and unhealthy relationships and so much more. The sociological concepts around society norms and biases play a large role in how many people live their lives every day. The health of the black family unit has been affected by years of cultural and socio-economic experiences. The daily realities of racism, inequality and constant barriers take their toll when trying to do the most basic of tasks and reach goals. Our own toxicities also tend to compound the issues we face when looking inwards at ourselves before we can even attempt to work on relationships with others in our lives.

  • How to Deal With the Toxicity Created by Avoiding Toxic Behaviors or Traits

    What do you do when the toxic characteristics that you are attempting to avoid from childhood show up all over in your adult life? It’s so frustrating to have worked so hard to do better as you are growing up only to realize that those traits have materialized in ways you did even realize until it was too late. I see posts on Twitter often that say, “my toxic trait is…”, and I think about this. Through therapy, I have traced many of these toxic traits from childhood. The funny thing is most times they looked different, but at the root are the same in principle. Whether you are dealing with perfectionism, procrastination, or overall performance paralysis they all come from some deep rooted fear or issues that haven't been resolved or maybe even unearthed yet. It takes some deep work to expose the origin of these toxic traits so that you can begin to process through and unravel them.

  • Empower, Align, Evolve and Boss Up with Angela Lewis

    There is a lot of talk around the word and events that focus on empowerment and what it really means in regard to getting things done. Some say that empowerment events are not actionable because they don’t move most past motivation, which can be fleeting. Others say some of them can be mean girl events, lol. My guest, Angela Lewis, an empowerment producer, coach and publisher who goes a lot deeper into the word and the actions that follow it. She believes empowerment is only the first step. Solutions and results must play a part in the process. Life alignment is so much bigger than “things” lining up. Every day you make decisions that affect the path you are traveling on. Sometimes, in your life you realize that you have created unsustainable habits and behaviors in your life that you need to deal with. These things create stress and overwhelm, often making us feel like we will never move beyond where we are because the weight of them are just too much to fight at times.
