In this week’s episode we discuss shaking off those holiday blues. Covid-19 and Covid-45 aside, this time of year can be difficult for many people.

In this week’s episode, John (one of my best friends) and I have a very candid conversation about our relationship journey. A conversation that begins with discussing “the one that got away” and evolves into over an hour of two good friends sharing what they’ve learned about themselves and from each other as they’ve attempted to figure out this crazy little thing called love. It’s full of laughs, but also full of nuggets of wisdom.

In this week's episode we discuss the importance of listening to the voice inside. Whether you refer to it as your conscience, your sixth sense, the Holy Ghost, or "The Ancestors"; it's a voice that we often ignore when we should be trusting that it has our best interest at heart. The voice is there to help us learn the lesson so that we can move through life's journey with a few less scars. Learn to trust the voice, seek discernment, and ask for the strength to follow the instructions given.

This episode is all about giving permission to forgive yourself and not losing touch with the things that make you whole, for me that’s podcasting. Hope you enjoy!

In this week’s episode I felt it was important to speak not only about Juneteenth, but being vigilant in knowing and telling our stories. It’s also important to be aware of distorted messaging used with intent to distract. The celebration of black people should not only be in response to our repeated destruction through oppressive thoughts and systems. We have to gain a better understanding of what this means so our conversations become more productive. I hope this episode aids you in gaining perspective, while still making you laugh.
