In this episode, I discussed how being alone will lead to the best version of yourself. You’re able to find who you are based on what you want and need and not based on what everybody else thinks that you should do and be. How I am dealing with the loss of my father, which is leading me to this new and better version of myself through grief? The one thing that I am learning through the loss of my dad is the things that I would like to do differently. This experience of me getting sick in 2017 to now has led me to this new and better version of me where I’m not sitting around and waiting for people to do things for me, going on trips with me, hanging out with me, or being relationships with me romantically. I’m not sitting around waiting for my family to accept me or what it is that I do. I am just enjoying this new version of me for traveling, building a new business in a brand, doing my podcast, getting ready to start making jewelry, candles, and body butters. Me writing two books about healing and recovery, motivational, speaking, and doing these podcast. So I hope this journey of mine as far as healing and recovery not just some grief, but also through my self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self respect, self confidence, and believing in myself, is leading me to this version of myself that I’m really loving. I’m enjoying this journey of being alone and walking in this path, purpose, and journey to this new and better version of myself that I’m happy with. And it’s important that I’m happy with this new version of me. The people that will accept the new version of you will accept it, and the people that don’t they won’t. I decided to share this journey that I’m going through with you guys on my podcast. And I really hoping it inspires you to go on your path, purpose, and journey alone to figure out who you are, and what you want to be. And who the new version of you is going to look like.

In this episode, I discussed how you have to leave the old version of you before you become the new version of you. People claim that they have change, and yet they are still doing the same behavior and action negatively with the same result. Or act like it the negative things that happened to them didn't happen. How when I let go what was in my life, how better my life is? The importance of letting the past go of what was, and focus on what will be, and what is.

Some of the signs that you need to learn how to spot when it comes to whether or not you lower yourself when it comes to trying to make everybody else happy. You're doing all of these things to make sure everybody else is good, being a seat filler, captain save a hose, build a bear and a doll, and being a people pleaser that will take advantage of the fact that you are lowering yourself. And how to go about not lowering yourself to build other people up, and neglecting yourself at the same time?

So, I decided to post the conversation and let you guys hear it despite the fact that you can't see her. The balance between being a working mom and raising a child. We will also be talking about the invisible child versus the golden child as far as the way parents treat them? Why does each one represents when it comes to the parents as far as how they are treated? What is the reason as why they are treated and loved? We also talked about why the US doesn't women time to bond with their children except six weeks. How do we prepared for bringing children into the world, raising, teaching, and making time for them?

I decided to only post this podcast episode on only one podcast, but I decided to post on this podcast due to because I wanted this podcast to hear it. In this episode, I had a conversation with KenWortley about his book the Gospel of Secrets. Ken is the bestselling author of The Gospel of Secrets: A Memoir of Truth, Liberation, and Love, and a former pastor with two decades spent guiding communities in the U.S. Through his memoir and advocacy, Ken has inspired countless people to embrace self-worth and inner peace as both LGBTQ+ and people of faith. His own transformation—from hiding his true identity to living openly with authenticity and spiritual integrity—is a story of real liberation, breaking cycles of shame, and learning to trust yourself even when tradition says otherwise. we talked about the importance of once you heal and recover and you accept yourself as far as the true and real version of yourself you're never gonna go back to the illusion version of yourself. we talked about how so many people are living a lie, and covering up the real version of themselves. And how that is never a good thing to do. This conversation was an absolute phenomenal conversation. I'm glad that I did the conversation with him because there are millions of people that are hiding the true version of themselves because their parents will never accept the fact that they are gay. And the freedom when people finally admits to not own themselves, but to other people the real version of themselves. We also talk about how people in the gay community are treated when it comes to the church. And how he went from a pastor, to a husband, father, to his discovery of realizing that he was a gay man. This conversation is something that I hope helps millions of people that are struggling with the real version of who they are when it comes to being a gay or lesbian individual. And it's time for us to really have these true conversations about this topic. Especially when it comes to spirituality, and how people use it as a weapon against these types of people. And I think the one thing about being the real version of yourself that is the very beginning of your recovery and healing is once you learn to accept and appreciate the real version of yourself regardless of who doesn't.

In this episode, I’m going to be discussing the Oprah Winfrey conversation that she did on her podcast about no parent contact, and no child contact. This is something that has been happening quite often when it comes to kids that don’t want anything to do with their parents, parents that don’t wanna have anything to do with their children. And as someone that is a healing, recovery, and addiction coach, this is a conversation that is something that I specialize with when it comes to helping people with their family trauma issues. Helping people through what they went through in their childhood in order to move forward as far as healing and recovery. A lot of people have been debating about this conversation on TikTok and multiple other streaming platforms. But for the most part, a lot of people were not thrilled about the conversation. So I decided to do a panel where we discussed this particular conversation as far as people who don’t have contact with their family, and parents that don’t have contact with their children. It’s about hearing people stories versus being a right or wrong situation. And how do we go about healing from our family trauma and experiences on both ends? #nochildcontact

In this episode, I discussed why you shouldn’t edit your life or cover up your past mistakes and experiences. By covering up the real version of yourself, you’re not being the honest with yourself when it comes to the real version of you. If you have to cover up the real version of you because you worried about what other people don’t think, feel, and have to say about you. The one thing about editing is you’re not learning from what you did wrong and correcting what you did wrong to a certain extent. because when you edit out your mistakes, you don’t learn from them. By leaving your mistakes and, you’re able to correct it and learn from it to grow, elevate, evolve, ensure, and show a journey of how far you came. How can you show how people how far you came with all your mistakes are covered up. And this is why I don’t cover up my mistakes, cause I want people to see the real version of me versus everybody else’s version of me. So I hope this short podcast, helps you guys on your journey of healing, recovery, and addiction when it comes to healing from.
