Do Men Deserve Grace?

January 02, 2024 02:26 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

hello loves. Today I wanted to focus on standing on business (as they say) as a women and making sure you are prioritizing being there for yourself. Too often do we rely on another person to come and save us - when the real person who needs to be responsible for that is ourselves. Are we also being so dependent on others to do for us that we’re not giving men grace ? Is Ho3 culture taking over the 2000s? Why are woman so adamant on making someone else financially responsible for their lives? ...

What a breath of f**king fresh air. When you take your time and have grace for yourself, it's truly no better feeling.

Why they gotta know your business ?

February 20, 2023 14:24 - 17 minutes - 16.1 MB

Do you find yourself always telling someone how you feel, what your thinking, or what has been going on with yourself? Not that it's a problem or anything, but it can be enabling you in a way. Oversharing consists of having diarrhea at the mouth when it comes to your business. Sometimes your business is just that, YOUR BUSINESS! This episode focuses on how I analyze being an oversharer and what I have learned as I am on the journey to keeping some thoughts to myself.

Anybody selling time?

February 14, 2023 04:29 - 18 minutes - 17.5 MB

Seconds. Minutes. Hours. Days. Months. Years. The more you procrastinate the more time you waste! I can't believe I almost let life have me in a chokehold, again. We literally cannot get back one second of the day and that second can be the most vital in your upbringing or your downfall. Put in that work and watch how those results play out so beautifully. This go-round will be different because we are utilizing our time wisely and taking charge. No need to think about the time lost, but it'...

Dear Little Me,

February 06, 2023 12:37 - 19 minutes - 18 MB

In this week's episode, I wrote the adolescent version of myself a letter. The younger version of ourselves will always be in us, and so will the trauma that came with it. I have never been as ready to heal from my childhood trauma as I am today. If you could go back and tell that little girl/boy something, what would you say ? Dear little me, the big you got you! We are about to take over adulthood and I hope everyone is ready. Grab your pen and paper, sh* is about to get real! 

For the Gram

January 23, 2023 13:14 - 23 minutes - 22 MB

Hey everyone, excuse me as I feel as though I sound exhausted, but we made it through! It is the last Monday of January and we are tapping into Social media and its effect on the mental. If you know like I know, you may find yourself scrolling for hours and so much time has gone by. 2023 we aren't f**king around so why are we wasting time that could be utilized elsewhere? 

Shhh.. Scary Hours

January 16, 2023 12:58 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MB

Originally this episode was named "Quiet time" but I changed it to "Scary Hours" because people tend to fear when things are still and at a halt. We often tend to underestimate the power of quietness and overlook how much of an effect this silence can have on our lives. Do you have a second to tune the world out and tap into yourself ? Well, you actually do, so let's get to it!

Embracing change

May 17, 2022 02:05 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB

This episode is a reflection of how I was not myself for 22 weeks. When I lost hold of myself, I lost hold of my purpose, I lost hold of my podcast. This episode is the most transparent I have been with anyone, and I am proud of that. Change occurs every day, so let's embrace it.

This week's episode features my boyfriend, Emmanuel, and mainly discusses our relationship and how we grew. Often, you can find yourself in a relationship with someone that doesn't bring in the best, but instead, the worse in you. We touched on topics such as growth, downfalls, and strengths.

New Year, Who dis?

December 27, 2021 18:48 - 16 minutes - 15.2 MB

Today's episode was very short and sweet. A new year is approaching us and I hope everyone is ready! But first, let's start now why don't we?!

Good luck and Happy YOU Year! Because these 365 days that are to come are all about you. 

It's Just Temporary

December 22, 2021 00:01 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MB

Today's episode talks about the temporariness life brings you and how you handle getting through it. Your position in life is never permanent, but only as permanent as you make it. You gonna make lemonade with the lemons life throw at you, or cry about it being sour? The choice is literally yours. That's it! That's the summary. 

The BETTER introduction:

December 13, 2021 19:43 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MB

Often, we lose ourselves in the process of figuring out how to maneuver through life. To the people who played with you, you will never have the opportunity to do so again. To the people who haven't had the chance to, you never will. Find who you are outside of everything else, oh look it's a masterpiece!

Friendsgiving

December 06, 2021 14:11 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MB

As this episode has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, It has EVERYTHING to do with forgiving yourself and those around you. We are so hard on ourselves and sometimes others to the point where we truly can't heal. Forgive and move forward!

Lean on ME

December 03, 2021 16:40 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB

A little late, but we made it! This weeks episode is solely about listening to those around you and also, just listening to yourself. At times, we can give advice but it's up to the receiver to do what they feel is best for themselves. Always remember you have to be the best YOU for yourself. Lean on yourself first and be your biggest Crutch. My guest SB can be found on instagram @___dlb - Graphics Page @SBGRAPHICSLLC - Lashes @_LASHEDDBYSB . She is a full time MOMpreneur!
