We Come From Queens

In honor of it being Women's History month, we decided to celebrate in podcast form! There are tons of great women being excellent in their respective fields and communities. Some women are recognized while others go unnoticed. In this episode, we highlight a few women who we are moved by. Hopefully you are as inspired as we were/are!

This week we break down an acronym coined by the infamous Iyanla Vanzant J.O.B. She defines it as being "Just Over Broke"

Not only do we break this down we discuss the differences of having a job vs working in your career, our many "job" experiences. Hopefully you find some comfort and reassurance in the pursuit of the career of your dreams! AND if you're unsure or still figuring out keep goin!

4 Myths About Doing What You Love For Work ( http://tinybuddha.com/blog/4-myths-about-doing-what-you-love-for-work/ )

After hearing Yo Gotti's "Down in the DM" we couldn't resist making this a topic and we just so happened to luck out by having our new friends Marucs & Rell from The Cure Podcast as our guests.

<br/>

First we break down the lyrics to the song and then we get into the remix featuring Nicki Minaj all while sharing more than we originally planned. Between the Hennessy, smoothies and Moscato I can assure you that this was one episode to remember.

Today we decided to touch on a topic that is often not spoken about ESPECIALLY in POC households. We candidly share our own experiences with having people in our lives who are dealing with mental illnesses as well as our personal experiences as well.

[[ TRIGGER WARNING: We do mention self harm and death by suicide starting at 32:30 -  37:00]]
