In this conversation, we discuss the notion of being shamed for being tired. Can I be grateful for a season and allowed moments to feel tired? Let's talk about it and the different ways in which you can rest.

The conversations we have in our heads about our appearance are important. I've learned about Body positive affirmations and Body neutral affirmations, no one is wrong or better than the other just different solutions for different days.

*Body positive: speaks to building for love your appearance as you are

*Body neutral: speaks to appreciating your body for its functionality rather than appearance.

Let's make that progress to building a healthy relationship with that reflection in the mirror.

What are your base beliefs about the relationships you allow into your life? Do you declare yourself as the person who always attracts the emotionally unavailable partners ? Do you believe there's no such thing as a genuine friend ? Do you believe you are better off alone in this life? Our foundational beliefs and thought life influence the people we find ourselves surrounded by, so let us ensure we have our relational beliefs speak to our highest self.

What or who taught you to be confident and to recognize your self worth. So much of what life teaches us should be a build-up on what was positively spoken over us in our young ages. Unfortunately, being positively affirmed was not the reality of everyone's childhood so where our parents have missed the mark we have to re-parent ourselves. Cheers to building up our confidence and recognizing our value.

This week's affirmations are a set of wealth affirmations. Where I challenge your underlying beliefs that surround wealth. What is wealth to you? Do you feel like the accumulation of resources is sinful? What character traits are valuable for a wealthy person? What are the underlying responsibilities for a person with greater resources?

This is a set of affirmations centered around calming your emotions when you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or worried about something beyond your control.

This is the start of a new series of affirmations. How is your thought life? What conversations are you allowing to roam your mind? In whatever season we are in, it is important that we build an awareness of the conversations in our mind, and if it isn't the right conversations, ensure we rewrite them.

This is the last episode of this series, and it's important to discuss this notion of the inside marriage and outside marriage kids talk. We might ignore the pain associated with Step parents as we grow but what we failed to address with them most people revenge with siblings and generations to come. So let's talk about it

After tackling the child and step parents' perspective, it only makes sense to have the parent follow suit. The parents have great responsibility that they sometimes don't take full acknowledgment of as the reason this step parent relationship is happening. With greater work on their end as the facilitator, they can help all parties feel seen and filled, thus leading to a lesser chance of turmoil in the step parent relationship. Step parent relationships would stand a better chance if instead of basking in the attention, the parent understood their part as a middleman.

In this episode, we are in conversation with the step parent. Having bonus parents could/should be such a blessing, especially in this age where we need so much counsel as the youth and young adults. So how do we make a move towards that? Let's talk
