Seeing and walking into the best version of yourself are two entirely distinct things that require either imagination or authentic and deliberate action. Why do so many individuals desire this version, and why is it essential? What measures are required, and what does the process actually entail? As we sift through this essential topic, hopefully this conversation will yield numerous answers. 

In many parts of my life, I neglected to operate in a space of boundaries with those who expected so much out of me. I began to realize that I had to become selective with the people I involved myself with, the places I went to, and the environment I shared with others. Being selective provided me with a newfound life that allowed me to operate freely with my “NO” and be ok with it.

Here is a thorough dive into my motherhood reflections and the things I’ve recognized about myself. Self awareness positioned me in many aspects that I wanted to reject, but after reconciling with the truth, I resolved to create a secure environment for my three children to flourish. 

If you have ever been wounded or disappointed by another person, you understand the dangers of closing your heart completely and not allowing others in. We mistakenly believe that constructing these boundaries will protect us from outside influences, but the result is that we isolate ourselves in the process.

Any or all of your physical, social, and spiritual life may undergo change as you travel the path of transition. You have taken the courageous choice to explore and embrace your real self, whatever "transition" means to you.

You may also experience a mourning of your old self… don’t fret this is apart of the journey new to you.

Let’s discuss it in this episode…

After a period of purging, I found myself pondering whether this was my next journey. I've found myself in some uncomfortable situations, but heartfelt communications have comforted me...

Journey with me as I tell my truth about being adopted. The ups, the downs, and how I came to find my biological family through years of prayer. It’s a story made for television… but it’s definitely a chapter in my life that has led me to heal within 

In this new season we explore very personal matters. 


In this episode, I discuss the truths and realities I encountered as a child after losing my father at the age of ten. I describe the consequences and the desires of my youth and adulthood and what mattered to me the most in the end. 

In this season, let’s begin by telling people that our hands are completely full. We don’t have room to hold anything else and their responsibilities should be handled independently. Let’s begin to act on these things and not speak on these things. 

Let’s be honest about who we are and where we are in our life in contrast to others who pull from us. Are we extending time hoping that helping others would get them closer to a solution or are we wasting time?

Some people only want to be heard to complain. Others always need money, many have no means to fixing it, and all of us become exhausted in the process.

Today, I want you to be honest about what role you play in helping others. Are you making it worse and being complicit in their needing or are you really making ground?

Take a listen, and tell me… how much longer will you be pulled?

So many things are happening and so many people are in their season of seeing and doing. 

Where are you?

What will it take for you to answer the call that God has been trying place over the years?

Are you ready for this change??? Are you ready for this shift?

Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on your life from the beginning until now? How is it going? What are you currently doing? Are you happy?

Do you find yourself doing the same things every single day or are you actively incorporating things to make your life better?

How do people truly see you? Are your connections solid or do they need to be adjusted?

Let’s take a moment to ask ourselves, “what does your life say about you”?

Every one of us has something inside of us that makes us special and unique. It is who we are and what makes us stand apart. If you’ve been ever told to show up differently, I’m telling you don’t. Others recognize the light in you in hopes that you will not proceed in your path. 

I am a believer that light attracts light, therefore, those who see you recognize the goodness that you project and stay close. 

Listen to this episode and become inspired…

Don’t allow ANYONE to dim your light!!!!

If you’ve ever read a good book, you know that there is always an introduction, a middle filled with suspense, and an ending. If you enter into the middle of the book you don’t get a preview of what happened beforehand. Thus beginning your reading at the end, doesn’t give the reader a good outlook on what the story is really about. This coincides with our book. Many people will meet us at different chapters. They won’t get the totality of who we are and their summarizations can be off. 

Listen in as I discuss…

Are you suddenly alone? 
Are you in a season of change that leaves you without past friends and relatives?

Is the shift causing you concern and disappointment?

You are now in your isolation season. A pivotal point in your life where you will see an expansion in your growth and your wisdom. You will begin to see answered prayers and doors opening up. 

The isolation period is a hard reset…, it’s not easy, but it’s needed…. 

We all want to save those suffering or dealing with issues, but we also have to understand that people won’t change unless they want to change. 

Have you experience the daunting task of trying to help others but getting nowhere with your assistance? This message is for you…

Dear Younger Self,

I know it’s hard to understand what life has for you, but trust me when I say everything is ok. There will be times when you feel lost, but always have faith within yourself. The path that you walk, is for your own development, don’t fear it… walk into it. You are strong and capable, so never give up on your dreams…. 

Listen in and let’s dig in 

Overthinking can be a difficult habit to break, but there are a few steps that can help you to break the cycle. First, recognize when you are overthinking. Ask yourself what is causing the emotions or thoughts that are leading you to overthink. Once you are aware of the cause of your overthinking, try to focus on finding solutions or strategies to help you manage the situation. Additionally, practice calming activities such as deep breathing, yoga, or mindfulness exercises to help you relax and reduce stress. Lastly, make sure to take breaks and allocate time each day to do something enjoyable. This will help you take your mind off of your worries and replace them with something more positive. Listen in and dig into this important conversation.

Healing is a requirement  needed before entering into anything new. It saves you and the other person from pain and disappointment. 

How aware are you of yourself? Do you take in what others may say to you or do those words make you turn away from them?

Self awareness requires that we are cognizant of who we  are, how we are, and how we show up for ourself and others. It is important that we recognize our strengths and our weaknesses. It is important of our awarness of self…

There are just some things that are misunderstood about the black culture. There are grand misrepresentations of who we are and what we stand for. Because of racial inequalities, we are subject to violence, lesser job wages, incarceration and exploitation . We are constantly questioned about our credentials and worth. Many years later… we are left asking why?  This dialogue will be revisited several different times throughout the podcast because there are sincerely so many avenues yet to be explored 

In this episode we discuss why entering into relationships broken result in turmoil for you and the other person. Expecting people to fill voids left in previous relationships creates an undesirable environment for love to thrive in.

For 2023, remind yourself of who you are, what you require, and what makes sense in this season in your life. Establish how love flows from you and how you expect it to be reciprocated so that your relationships and connections are fully functional and healthy. 

In this episode, we discuss how the "Spotlight effect" relates to an individual's failure to overcome their fears. 

What are your goals for 2023? Are there any resolutions or desires? Are you aware of your inabilities and your pitfalls? Perhaps inconsistency is the reason you haven't successfully accomplished it. Let's talk about it....

The term capacity is defined in this episode in the context of the relationship between perspective and assumptions. Understanding capacity and its functions inspires us to want to learn more about each other or to consider whether it is self-serving in our lives.

This episode discusses "rebirth," the continuation of life, decisions, and self-discovery. Rebirth is a transitional phase that many will experience.
