I never thought I'd find myself back in the trenches of dental practice management, yet here I am, sharing the unexpected twists of my 2024. My journey this year is a tapestry of work and leisure. As I reflect on my experience with working with my husband in his dental practice, and the unique managerial challenges it brought, I'm considering dusting off my leadership hat. Join me in unraveling the threads of valuing time and the nuanced dance of stepping back into a role I thought I had left behind.

Life's a little like ice skating—sometimes you glide smoothly, other times you take a tumble. But just as my daughter, Korynn, has shown through her passion for the rink, perseverance leads to growth. This episode sees me weaving through Stephen R. Covey's Seven Cardinal Rules of Life and shedding the weight of emotional baggage. It's about releasing the anchors of the past to sail into the present, a journey toward alignment and living with intention. Hear about the personal transformations that have shaped not just my approach to business but my entire outlook on life.

We round off this heartfelt conversation by pondering the true essence of happiness. It's a tale of how releasing negative emotions and the burdens of anger and resentment can lead to inner peace. I talk about the empowerment found in embracing one's unique journey, free from the shackles of comparison. Discover the clarity that comes with alignment, and the courage to let go of what doesn't serve in order to welcome what does. So, lend me your ears, your hearts, and maybe a little bit of your time, for a chat that promises to leave you pondering your own path to fulfillment.

I, Lyanette Talley, continue the conversation with Philip, Justin, and Milky. This week's episode of Virago 24/7 is a beacon of insight for those charting a course through blended families. With raw honesty, we dissect the delicate balance between building bonds, handling feelings of invisibility due to absentee biological parents, and the seismic aftershocks of past betrayals on our ability to trust and love again.

Amidst the ebb and flow of family life, we also shine a spotlight on the monumental task of fostering resilience in our children against the backdrop of an evolving society. The nuances of motherly protection versus the fatherly impetus to toughen up are dissected, as we discuss how single mothers and diverse family structures are writing new narratives for the future of manhood.  Our stories of our own experiences, underscore the importance of embracing adversity and the potent influence parents have on the growth of young spirits, challenging the very fabric of traditional gender roles.

Wrapping up, we delve into the art of communication within relationships and the intricate nature of trust. I share personal anecdotes that traverse the sometimes murky waters of male-female friendships in the context of marriage, including those with former flames. As we raise a glass to the candid conversations that have unfolded, we laugh about teenage wisdom in a digital world, and the unique perspectives platonic friends offer. It's more than an episode; it's a heartfelt embrace of the complexities of love, parenting, and the continuous journey of personal evolution. Join us and be part of the conversation at Virago 24/7, where real life meets real talk.

As the confetti settles on another festive New Year's celebration, I, Lyanette Talley, alongside Justin, Philip, and Milky, take a heartfelt look at the roads we've traveled and the paths we're carving out for the future. Our heartfelt exchange kicks off with a toast to our goals for 2024!

Journey with us through the world of dating apps where we chuckle over the tug-of-war between a captivating bio and a striking profile pic—a modern-day quandary that just might be reshaping our social finesse. As we swap tales from the trenches of dating and marriage, expect a rollicking ride from the peculiar pet peeves that test our patience in partnerships to the light bulb moments that keep the flames of romance flickering. And let's not skirt around the elephant in the room; we're tackling the nitty-gritty of keeping that spark alive in marriage, from the "dating" of your spouse to navigating the intricate dance of communication and appreciation.

But it's not all laughs and romance—Justin, Philip, and I wade into the heavier currents of marriage, unpacking the hefty luggage of regrets, the sting of infidelity, and the daunting prospect of forgiveness. In a poignant pivot, we contemplate the layered roles of parenting and gender expectations, challenging societal norms and embracing the evolving dynamics of modern families. So refill your glass and join our candid conversation as we face the joys and trials of life with the unguarded honesty you've come to expect from Virago 24-7.
