Domestic Violence statistics do not escape the church; in fact, they're worse among male-dominant based congregations. Churches have long been safe havens, unintentionally (& by design) to harbor wolves in sheep's clothing.

I bare my soul & poetry in this episode as I discuss one scenario a little too close to home. I challenge those who re-victimize those who actually need & deserve their care.

This is not the end. I will not be silent.

Join me for an impromptu therapy session where I guide you or include you on a literal session I had with my Inner World Transformation therapist, Rachelle McCloud.

Dimming, Shrinking, Quitting are things some of us do when the internal programming does not vibe with success, does not. jive with things going in your favor.

Listen to find out the hows, the whys, and the things you can do to combat that inner voice that in its attempt to keep you SAFE, tries so desperately to keep you SMALL.

Introducing Bridgette: My Spiritual Mother, The Phoenix. She recently wrote something on Facebook that stirred something deep in me. It was as if my soul stood up and saluted. So today, I want to share her words with you… & invite her to join me 1:1 in the future.

We were fire-born on different days but find ourselves in the same decade of soul. She doesn't know the full power of her voice, but she's getting there & I invite you to relish in it, with me, & perhaps find your own!

Dani Lordeus has a rhythm about her… she's inviting, welcoming, vulnerable, & keeping it 💯 . Her podcast is giving Mi casa es Su casa as she invites you into "her living room" for thoughtful & authentic conversational vibes.

She's dropped an entire season & I highly recommend you go subscribe, like & follow. You'll than me later, so I'll say You're Welcome (now).

Go bless your hearts, minds, & ears by visiting her podcast @thelrvpodcast & let me know what you think! Tell her I sent you. Enjoy the vibes...

I'm mostly... always ON. & MOST definitely, Always ME. I'm a social butterfly who has experienced great loss & lives a life sprinkled with grief and large doses of gratitude & awareness of others & an understanding of my own brilliance & shortcomings. While I don't touch on it in this episode, I've been on a self-love journey & this is your invitation to my mind & to my heart & to the path I'm taking on learning how to love myself better. One way I do that is to give myself permission- to exist, EXACTLY the way I AM... no apologies... no chasers... If my light is too bright, put on some SUNGLASSES. I'm not here to shrink. I'm here to be heard, seen (I will eventually have some video podcasts), & to maybe, just maybe help someone else find their voice & their platform to be seen & heard, too.

One of the most trending topics now is Coldplay's Concert Kiss Cam & what it caught on the jumbotron. The memes are flying in and everyone has an opinion and comment. I'm adding my thoughts into the mix as I figure out this podcast thing I'm doing... Feel free to comment, share, like, forward, subscribe. All the techies out there- I'm here for your feedback.

I'll say, "I'm shaping it 'til I make it" instead of faking it... I'm out here.. I"m on here... I'm doing it... eventually, it will really become what it's meant to be. Thanks for tuning in.

This episode has been months in the making.
I bought the mic. I made the post. And then I froze.
In this raw, unscripted first episode, I share why I waited, what held me back, and why I decided to speak anyway.

I shout out my incredible godsister @ericainnovates and her Brilliant Everyday Podcast, as well as my best friend, who I know will step into this space in her own divine time.

There may not be a set rhythm to this podcast. It may come in bursts, in quiet, in storms—but it will always come from my truth.

Until next time,
Unapologetically yours.
