I want to start off by saying that this episode discusses sexual trauma. If you are someone that is sensitive to this topic please proceed with caution as there may be triggers within the episode. Being married can have it's ups and downs but how does one tackle owning their cultural and ethnic idiosyncrasies while also being sensitive to their partners cultural and ethnic differences? Alycia opens her heart and allows herself to be vulnerable about the tough conversations that can be had in an interracial marriage.

What if the pain is too bearable? How does one go about releasing the pain of memories and life circumstances? I discovered Ester on Tiktok. She dances but is not your typical tiktok dancer. She is not shy to being open on social media when she is having a rough day.  Ester finds solace in dancing which in turn increases her mental health strength

Thank you for listening today. We have Billy with us. He has spent the last few years rising in the corporate ladder of Nike. He finds joy in what he does because joy is internal. The question is how did he find the motivation to achieve his goal when so many people told him he couldn't?
When we are faced with taking risk we feel uncomfortable. There is no guarantee with risk. But what is the risk promises change even if you don't know what it is? So you risk it, the money, the stability, you risk it all.......for change.

As Kenosha WI, my home erupted in flames and chaos due to the killing of another black man, I didn't quite know how to process it. I am a therapist by profession and spend a lot of time helping others process and navigate their needs. I went through the week in motion of life but not really living life. I showed little emotion because I couldn't quite articulate what I was feeling. My husband asked me, "Babe, are you okay?" I sat there and I paused. I said...."No Im not okay but I will be okay."
