Let's Talk A Smidge About Money, Liberation And A Chaotic Mindset (Part 1)

Jessica Wilson

Hey, Sistren!  Press "play" and join me as I connect with the brilliant clinical dietician and author, Jessica Wilson, who wrote the transformative book, "It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies."  Together, we will dive into an eye-opening journey to peel back the layers on the impact of white supremacy and how it shapes the relationship that Black women have with their bodies.  In this conversation we talk about food, body image, self-perception and food respectability.  Unpacking the effects of survival mode on our food choices and body acceptance, Jessica sheds light on the urgent need for healing and transformation.  We are in need of liberation and conversations like this one are a great way to empower ourselves while challenging the harmful, oppressive norms we have to deal with every single day (which is EXHAUSTING).

5 Reasons Black Women Self-Sabotage

Candace Wilkins

This is an incredible episode!  I had the pleasure of chatting with Candace Wilkins, Blogger, Minister and Author "Letters to the Finishers."  She shared about her to decision to put off college and how trying to stick to the wrong path to success lead to anxiety and pressure.  Also, she shares more about how overwhelm can cause us to start a ton of things but never finish them.  If you are a quitter or procrastinator this show is for you.  One thing to note is that on this day I was having audio issues so, if you notice a bit of overlap or me laughing in weird places just chalk it up to a glitch.   Don't miss the message because it will bless you.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Zakiyyah Walker, PersonaI Revolution Coach and Legacy Strategist, regarding trauma being encoded in our DNA, "strong black woman" syndrome, and how growing up with a mother involved in toxic relationships altered the course of her life resulting in multiple suicide attempts.  Zakkiyah has survived, is thriving and due to that her mission is to help black women get crystal clear on what they really desire, the habits that are keeping them stagnant and the steps to create the life they want --ON PURPOSE.

Where is your “spot?”

When your menstrual cycle is out of control how do you feel and what the heck do you do?!!?!?  Heavy periods are very common for black women and they can get so bad that our lives can be turned upside down and even ruined.   We are missing days from work, fighting with doctors to help us (and not just use us for insurance money) and overall mentally depleted with the ever raging red war.  Listen in today while I chat and share with Tiyanna Washington.  Tiyanna is a NYC-based licensed social worker and youth mental health advocate recognized for her mental health advocacy and community service.  She has worked within the school system servicing youth diagnosed with emotional disturbances, behavioral-conduct disorders, and severe cognitive and learning delays.  While working through the challenges of assisting our youth she has also had to deal with super heavy periods which left her drained.  Click play to listen as we share our experiences, plus Tiyanna gives us some takeaways that helped change the course of her cycles.Our Sponsors:* Check out Ideal Living and use my code SELFCARE for a great deal: https://airdoctorpro.com/* Give Factor a try by visiting https://www.factormeals.com/selfcare50 and use code selfcare50Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
