What's a Soulmate? 🤔
No FOREAL...what is a soulmate? Are you like me and starting to call BS on the term as a whole? Like seriously, throw the whole term away LOL...Oooooorrr, are you the type of person that understands and believes that soulmates are true and that everyone has 1 out there somewhere...(or 2...maybe 3? 🤷🏾♀️😂) Either way, this episode is all about soulmates and what they truly are, where they're hiding, and if you even have one to begin with.

Single, NOT Ready to Mingle 👎🏾
Being single is a great thing if you allow it to be! I never allowed myself to be single and to enjoy what it has to offer but once I finally did it was truly invigorating. Can you relate? Or are you a "serial dater" like I was? Or afraid and incapable of being alone? Listen to this weeks episode for insight, you won't be disappointed! 😏

Blacker the Berry
This week, I am speaking to all of my beautiful, dark brown, chocolate sistas. Do you love the skin you're in? If so, did you always or was there a time when you felt unattractive because of it? Well as a fellow chocolatey brown sista, I can say that I didn't always love the skin that I am in. In honor of Black History Month, I want to touch on a somewhat touchy subject. Let's talk!

Either for me or Against me...
Is it wrong to expect your friends and family to have your back and support you? Is it wrong if they don't? We often hear people say, "oh well I am busy," or "something came up, my bad." Yet that same person, had ALL the time in the world to post on instagram..etc. This episode is all about that, understanding if our feelings toward the lack of support is valid or invalid. Lets talk :)

Nah... Don't Do it Sis! 🙅🏾♀️🚫
Queening 101: The sperm chases the egg, not the other way around 😉
Don't chase a man sis, plain and simple! Maya Angelou says it best, "I walk into a room. Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me." ❤️👑
