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. Let's figure this thang out together 🤗  References:  https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/soul-mate-vs-twin-flame  Cuffing Season Image Reference:  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/139541288442054158/

Our precious babies are suffering in ways that many of us are unaware of, in ways that is sure to shock us all! In this episode, we will touch on how mental health negative affects our black youth and focus on ways in which it can be aided.  References: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40653-020-00319-9 https://theconversation.com/african-american-teens-face-mental-health-crisis-but-are-less-likely-than-whites-to-get-treatment-140697

I've come to understand that mental health isn't black and white, it affects us all very differently. My experience as a black woman isn't necessarily the same for a black man. For this week's episode, we dive into how mental health affects black men and ways to find the help that they need.  References: https://www.naminys.org/images/uploads/pdfs/Souls%20of%20Black%20Men.pdf https://www.nami.org/Your-Journey/Identity-and-Cultural-Dimensions/Black-African-American

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!

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.

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." ❤️👑 References: https://www.tdjakes.com/posts/if-a-man-is-interested-he-will-pursue-you Phenomenal Woman: Four Poems Celebrating Women, Book by Maya Angelou
