In this episode we touch on how we found out that being logged out and out of touch was not always the best form of self care. Yes, we all need a break for the things that drain us, work, the news and even family but what happens when this creates a disconnect between you and the very things you love and are passionate about. Can self care be selfish? As always thank you for the continued support of HoodxHolistic Podcast.

LesTalk Radio host Chelley invited us on her show to discuss a few topics and introduce ourselves to her audience. We met via the internet in October while we still lived in Houston. We moved to LA and finally got a chance to meet in person. Chelley is all about community like we are and we had a blast recording. Thank you to the HoodxHolistic Gang for the support!

In this episode we share our many journeys of breaking out of our shells in order to grow. We’ve always made room for ourselves to grow as people and have always respected and challenged each other to be better. We encourage our supporters to do the same. As always, we thank you for all of the support of HoodxHolistic Podcast.

The long awaited Episode 40 is finally here. We explain what’s been happening since we moved to LA. We know we left our listeners in limbo but it was unintentional so we set the record straight on what has been happening personally for us. Small things to giants! We are releasing this situation so there’s no need to hold back! Thank you so much for the continued support of the podcast.

In this episode we break down different types of childhood trauma that may have an affect on our relationships. Many times we don't know that it is affecting us until it's too late and we've lost who we can become in the very things that could destroy us. We are always in healing mode. Don't feel bad for taking care of yourself first. Unpack, organize, and put away. As always, thank you for your constant support. PEACE & LOVE

In this episode we break down the meaning of pride and shed light on the pioneers who paved the way for it to be possible. Your sense of self can be seen as a threat to people who are unsure, don't conform to the pressure of society. As always thanks for the support.

XO, 

Ash & Cort 

In this episode we discuss the importance of maintaining your identity in a relationship: romantic, platonic or business. Often times people find themselves without an identity because they've morphed into those around them. Don't let this be you. Be true to who you are and never lose yourself. As always thank you for the support of HoodxHolistic.

This episode features a beautiful spoken word piece from Shalom Ikemba (FB) entitled "Can I Love You?"

In this episode we discuss boundaries and deal breakers that can make for a foundation of relationship. Ash shares how she breaks up with difficult friends and we tell what deal breakers and boundaries we set for each other very early in our relationship that helped set the tone. Don’t teach people how to treat you, tell them up front what not to do and watch their response. As always, thanks for the support.
