In this episode, we're taking a deep look into a topic we often shy away from—grief.
You know, sometimes our need is simply to grieve, and that's perfectly okay. We'll explore the different facets of grief, from understanding involuntary grief, like unexpected losses, to embracing voluntary grief, where we choose to make changes but still feel the loss.
I'll also touch on the importance of recognizing and honoring our need to grieve, no matter the circumstances. Whether it's feeling lost in your own success story, outgrowing certain relationships, or questioning your decisions, your feelings are valid. Grief is a natural part of the human experience, and we should embrace it.
So, join me as we explore the depths of our emotions, recognize our needs, and keep building that breakthrough, brick by brick. Thanks for tuning in!

In this episode, I delve into the often stigmatized concept of neediness, particularly as it pertains to black women. Listen in as I challenge the negative perceptions around neediness, emphasizing that acknowledging and honoring our emotional needs is a strength, not a weakness.
It's high time we shift the narrative surrounding neediness and embrace it as a source of personal strength and unapologetically assert our needs, both within ourselves and in our interactions with others.
I invite you to reflect on the ways you might have been suppressing your own neediness and start embracing our humanity.

Ever had a friendship that took an unexpected turn? Join me in this episode as we explore the art of repairing relationships. I share my personal experience of navigating such a situation and the lessons I learned.
It's crucial to give our friends the space to process, even if it gets messy. But what if that friendship takes an even more unexpected turn? I delve into the importance of truly looking at our roles and taking responsibility for the twists in our relationships. I introduce a powerful three-step bridge-building process for repairing relationships, emphasizing the significance of starting with the other person, owning your actions, and acknowledging their pain. Repair isn't about justifying yourself—it's about understanding them and showing change in your behavior and the process of repair isn't just about fixing relationships with others; it's also about repairing your relationship with yourself.
