267. Cussing Love!

267. Cussing Love!

NEW EPISODE! Do you remember those classic reality shows: Real Housewives of...., Love and Hip Hop, or maybe even Love Island for those of you who are new to reality relationship shows. Looking back, do you ever remember seeing healthy relationships? Or even calm conversations at that? Well there was no lack of yelling and fighting but to us this is not what relationships should be. Come along on this journey as Ashley and Joy discuss the realities of the ugly cussing love and the alternatives that will help you keep your peace. Jump in as we talk more in this season of Relationships, Passions and Obsessions.

Challenge: Where do you need to make peace in your life? Do you need to let some relationships go? Or have hard conversations?

Leave us a voice message or email to let us know what you noticed about yourself.

The theme this season..... is RPO pronounced "REE-PO" (Relationships, Passions, Obsessions).

This season the Challenge Yourself will encourage, empower, and motivate you through the often mysterious, mesmerizing, and sometimes misleading world of relationships - relationships with yourself, relationships with others and intimate relationships. Whether talking about our own personal relationships and lessons or gaining perspective from the line up of highly-esteemed special guests, you will have the opportunity to become empowered with INTENTION in a world of "Whatever" and "YOLO".

Hi, I’m Dr. Joy. In the midst of one of the most painful and powerful times in my life, I gained some inspiration from my Dad, who passed away one week ago on my birthday.

My father applied greatness to everything he did, and I understand now what he meant, even when I decided to take a different road.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy these 14 nuggets of things I’ve learned along the way, and may you have a healing measure of peace as you listen.

260. I like you BUT NOT IN THAT WAY

260. I like you BUT NOT IN THAT WAY

Have you ever been friend zoned?

Well we don’t do the friend zone around here!

What does it mean to put someone in the friendzone anyway?

Do they know they have been placed there?

Are they okay with that new position in your life? Is a “friend zoned” person really a friend?

What is the need to place someone there, do you need a friend?

These are only a few of the questions addressed in this sizzling episode of the Challenge Yo Self podcast as we push deeper into this season of relationships, passions and obsessions.

Quite frankly, Joy and Ashley do not have time for friendzone relationships. Listen in to hear more about the friend zone and why you should think deeply before using this terminology. Maybe YOU need to look deep inside and ask yourself “why” you need or want to friend zone a person… The answer may surprise you if you’re honest.

You will not want to miss this conversation!!!

The theme this season..... is RPO pronounced "REE-PO" (Relationships, Passions, Obsessions). This season the Challenge Yourself will encourage, empower, and motivate you through the often mysterious, mesmerizing, and sometimes misleading world of relationships - relationships with yourself, relationships with others and intimate relationships. Whether talking about our own personal relationships and lessons or gaining perspective from the line up of highly-esteemed special guests, you will have the opportunity to become empowered with INTENTION in a world of "Whatever" and "YOLO".

Welcome to the Daily Challenge, a bite-size, motivational snack for your week, exclusively on the Challenge Yo Self podcast.

Today’s theme is “Attitude: Where is the New Year, New You? ” hosted by Dr. Joy Well.

If you do nothing different then you will get nothing different. If you have worked a plan, with goals and strategies, how are you faring? It’s not a competition. We all have high expectations for 2021 but there are so many memes going around about the remix of 2020. 2021 will be as delightful and different as you choose it to be. Let’s work on growing and giving ourselves compassion as we exceed our expectations.

251. Embracing the Softer Side

251. Embracing the Softer Side

What does the word vulnerability mean to you?
Everyone can struggle with allowing themself to open up and be vulnerable. More often we hear about Men struggling in this area; however, we tend to not recognize the inner "strong woman struggle" that many Ladies face!
Particularly as Women of color, there is the notion that you should always be strong. But, what if we told you that being vulnerable is strong?
It takes strength to soften the heart and share the inner you in a safe place. In this episode of the Challenge Yo Self podcast, Joy and Ashley share their softer side and discuss what true vulnerability looks like.
The hosts goes on to mention tennis extraordinaire Naomi Osaka who, in an unprecedented move, decided to take her self-care and mental health in her own hands when she walked out of the French Open after declining to take interviews before the match. We all need this level of confident vulnerability and self care.
Get your softest blanket, a cup of tea and listen to the softer side of the Challenge Yo Self podcast.
Challenge: We challenge you to do one thing/let go of one thing to improve the quality of your life this week starting now!
Leave us a voice message or email to let us know what you noticed about yourself.
The theme this season..... is RPO pronounced "REE-PO" (Relationships, Passions, Obsessions).
This season the Challenge Yourself will encourage, empower, and motivate you through the often mysterious, mesmerizing, and sometimes misleading world of relationships - relationships with yourself, relationships with others and intimate relationships. Whether talking about our own personal relationships and lessons or gaining perspective from the line up of highly-esteemed special guests, you will have the opportunity to become empowered with INTENTION in a world of "Whatever" and "YOLO".

249. Faith OR Logic - The Daily Challenge

Welcome to The Daily Challenge, a bite-size, motivational snack for your week, exclusively on the Challenge Yo Self podcast. Today’s Message is “Faith or Logic” hosted by Dr. Joy.

Listen to find out how faith and logic repel each other, attract each other and also the difference between the two. They don’t have to be enemies. They work together. Faith is not necessarily connected directly to Christianity only. Faith is universal. It’s believing in what is not yet seen. Logic is important too. Logic is thinking through and assessing the steps to making things happen or to explain life events without tons of emotional affect. Logic says 2+2 = 4. Logic considers all of the variables and makes the best decision based on the facts and prior knowledge. Let’s talk about it.

Listen through the end for a special motivational anthem to boost your day.

246. When the Spaghetti is Petty

We've got a Youtube channel!!!!! Check us out at our full name - Challenge Yo Self | An Empowered Podcast.  

In the time of "youngin" brides and 50-year age gaps, it was time for the Challenge Yo Self hosts to bring you a down and dirty episode full of wisdom nuggets and a lot of good pettiness

In today's episode, Joy and Ashley ask the question, why are so many people (particularly men) marrying and getting into relationships with partners who are significantly younger than them? Is it loneliness, or perhaps the want for companionship before they turn into dust? Whatever the case, you will not want to miss this petty spaghetti episode in our Relationships, Passions, Obsessions season of the Challenge Yo Self podcast.

Challenge: We challenge you to write down each point and journal your thoughts. How do these points apply to your life currently?

Leave us a voice message or email to let us know what you noticed about yourself.

The theme this season..... is RPO pronounced "REE-PO" (Relationships, Passions, Obsessions).

This season the Challenge Yourself will encourage, empower, and motivate you through the often mysterious, mesmerizing, and sometimes misleading world of relationships - relationships with yourself, relationships with others and intimate relationships. Whether talking about our own personal relationships and lessons or gaining perspective from the line up of highly-esteemed special guests, you will have the opportunity to become empowered with INTENTION in a world of "Whatever" and "YOLO".

SURPRISE! We have entered YouTube land. Come hangout with us and subscribe to our channel by searching by the full name of our podcast. Welcome to a special edition of the Daily Challenge, a bite-size, motivational snack for your week, exclusively on the Challenge Yo Self podcast. Today’s Message is “Friendship, Love, Grief, and Acceptance” hosted by Dr. Joy.

Sometimes we love hard. We envision well and then we lose. While love is never a loss, some relationships are going to end even when we don’t want them to, even when we avoid the hard topics, even when the writing is clear - it’s over. As Memorial Day weekend moved along, Dr. Joy chose to lose someone who did not recognize her worth and value. A friend who chose to stay on the fringes of her life was too much to bear another minute. She had to walk away. As Dr. Joy made the decision, she came across an email from one of her favorite writers - Brianna Wiest. That email was no coincidence and she chose to make it the centerpiece of today’s episode.

And don’t forget the end for a special motivational singalong just for you.

241. From Disappointment to Appointment Part I

241. From Disappointment to Appointment Part I

Have you ever had such a rough week that your only emotion is "Attitude"? 

No worries, we have all experienced those times where it seems like one thing happens after another; and there is nothing you can do about it.

The challenge then is, how to move forward when you are stuck in a funk... On this episode of the Challenge Yo Self podcast, Joy hands the mic to Ashley as she discusses her less than favorable week that led to pure frustration and quite frankly... ATTITUDE.

On the other hand, there is a beautiful story in the midst of the trouble.... sistership and the power of having a team of strong women to hold you up when you are too weak to do so yourself. 

This is a powerhouse episode that you will not want to miss.

Make sure to have a pen and paper ready to take notes!!! You may even want to pause and rewind!!

Challenge: We challenge you to write down each point from the podcast and journal your thoughts. How do these points apply to your life currently?

Leave us a voice message or email to let us know what you noticed about yourself.

The theme this season..... is RPO pronounced "REE-PO" (Relationships, Passions, Obsessions).

This season the Challenge Yourself will encourage, empower, and motivate you through the often mysterious, mesmerizing, and sometimes misleading world of relationships - relationships with yourself, relationships with others and intimate relationships. Whether talking about our own personal relationships and lessons or gaining perspective from the line up of highly-esteemed special guests, you will have the opportunity to become empowered with INTENTION in a world of "Whatever" and "YOLO".

237. Why Your Sign is NOT ENOUGH - Dating Deeper in 2021

Astrology is such a hot subject these days. Have you ever met an amazing Guy "or Other", you are attracted to them and you have great chemistry, so naturally your next move is to ask.... "what's your sign"?

Have you ever done this?

If so, "why"?

We spend too much time focused on unimportant topics such as a person's astrological sign and not enough time on the person's character and personality.

Don't miss this power packed episode of the Challenge Yo Self podcast as Dr. Joy and Ashley give you alternatives to the "what is your sign" question.

And With that, Challenge Yo Self!!

Challenge: Re-listen to this episode and write down 3 Farmer questions and 7 well questions for your next date, meetup, connection, etc.... **make sure to listen to the entire podcast episode to get the meaning of these phrases**

Leave us a voice message or email to let us know what you noticed about yourself.

The theme this season..... is RPO pronounced "REE-PO" (Relationships, Passions, Obsessions).

This season the Challenge Yourself will encourage, empower, and motivate you through the often mysterious, mesmerizing, and sometimes misleading world of relationships - relationships with yourself, relationships with others and intimate relationships.

232. Top 5 Reasons to Rekindle that Old Flame

232. Top 5 Reasons to Rekindle that Old Flame

Episode Title: "Top 5 Reasons to Rekindle that Old Flame"

Sometimes old flames are like that BBW candle you forgot about in the back of your closet.. You may need to dust it off and reignite that flame or it falls and bursts into a million pieces; either way it's the experience that counts.

If you are an OG Challenge Yo Self listener you will know that we are currently in Season 2: Relationships, Passions and Obsessions. Joy and Ashley could not continue through the season without giving you another hot list, this time on rekindling flames. Maybe you two just needed to mature, or possibly get some healing. Maybe you just want a hookup; whatever your motive you will not want to miss this discussion of the Challenge Yo Self podcast. Check out this episode to find out 5 reasons it is okay to rekindle that old flame.

Challenge: Go back and write down each point; journal how you would feel if a past flame reentered your life. Maybe you are sure the old flames are all burnt out. Great! Journal 5 things you want to work on personally because healthy relationships start on the inside.

Leave us a voice message or email to let us know what you noticed about yourself.

The theme this season..... is RPO pronounced "REE-PO" (Relationships, Passions, Obsessions).

This season the Challenge Yourself will encourage, empower, and motivate you through the often mysterious, mesmerizing, and sometimes misleading world of relationships - relationships with yourself, relationships with others and intimate relationships. Whether talking about our own personal relationships and lessons or gaining perspective from the line up of highly-esteemed special guests, you will have the opportunity to become empowered with INTENTION in a world of "Whatever" and "YOLO".

Listen folks, it’s is ok to be ok. Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop and knock you in the head. Find contentment. Stir up peace. Welcome to Ask Dr. Joy Well. Original creative lyrics by Dr. Joy Well. “I sabotage. So what. I was stuck. So what. As long as I acknowledge it, I’m not gonna lead with it. Self-sabotage to Supernova. I need more than a Range Rover. Self-sabotage to Supernova. I’m not giving up cause it’s not over!” One of the greatest relationships you will ever have is with yourself.

226. Facebook Groups for Dummies :)

226. Facebook Groups for Dummies :)

Question: Exactly how many Facebook groups are you a member of currently? How many groups do you actively engage with?

We took a leap into the unknown and ended up on the zany ride of the season.

You will be thoroughly entertained and enlightened during this episode, "Facebook Groups for Dummies" in our season on Relationships, Passions and Obsessions. Facebook groups have become very popular especially as we have faced lockdowns and less social interaction. On this episode, Joy and Ashley discuss their interaction on a relationships-based Facebook group with more than 60,000 members. With that many people in one place, things are bound to get juicy (or just plain weird). 

You must listen to the entire episode to hear the top 4 posts the Challenge Yo Self team chose from members of this Facebook group. Not to mention the Existential Question asked by none other than Dr. Joy herself. Join us as we talk (laugh) our way through our take on these Facebook posts inside this rather large, really hilarious Facebook group.

By the way: May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we have a couple of great and accessible resources just for you. Make sure you share with friends, family or anyone in need.

Mental Health Awareness Month Resources:


For therapeutic resources: Coa @joincoa on Instagram. It's your affordable gym for mental health, offering therapist-led emotional fitness classes.

Open Path Collective

223. Is Your Diamond Real or Not? How Fake Diamonds End Up on your Hand (and in your life).

223. Is Your Diamond Real or Not? How Fake Diamonds End Up on your Hand (and in your life).

Have you ever seen Moissanite up close? These are beautifully lab-manufactured gemstones created to glisten and shine brilliantly like a real diamond. These stones are less-expensive than diamonds; and, for the most part, they succeed in nearly deceiving the eye into thinking it is a natural made stone. 

Welcome to the Challenge Yo Self podcast episode on jewelry - well not really.  This episode is not about jewelry, but rather the idea that, like Moissanite, some of our relationships are not the real deal. They are replicas masquerading as the real thing, hoping you will never uncover the truth and live the rest of life traumatically deceived, confused and broken. 

Sometimes these fake stones make their way into our lives because they check off ALMOST all of the items on our desires list.

Maybe your former partner said all of the right things in the beginning and swept you away with their charm and lovebombing. 

Maybe all of the pieces looked to be lining up just right! However, there is ALWAYS a caveat... There is always something that just won't gel. You begin to notice behaviors, actions or mannerisms that are just a little off but you shrug them away because, well.. they check all of the other boxes on the list.

During this episode of the Challenge Yo Self podcast, Dr. Joy and Ashley talk about how people end up with fake diamonds on their hand (and in their lives) and how to recognize the signs of real versus phony. Tune in to this episode of the podcast as Challenge Yo Self continues Relationships, Passions and Obsessions - Season 2.

222. Hate it or Love it: 5 Ways to Gain Traction Interpersonally.

222. Hate it or Love it: 5 Ways to Gain Traction Interpersonally.

Beastmode may do more harm than good in your relationships. 

You may have a great relationship with your workout and meal prep, but you may have some more work to do regarding interpersonal communication and connection.

Wellness is not just physical. Wellness extends past physical. 

It is financial. It is emotional. It is spiritual. It is intrapersonal. It is psychological. It is self care. It is interpersonal... and more.

On this episode of Ask Dr. Joy Well exclusively on the Challenge Yo Self podcast, Dr. Joy discusses how to win interpersonally. 

Introducing the scale of wellness from 1 to 10 with 1 being "I'm not pursuing wellness" and 10 being "Wellness in various phases is a priority actively." What's your number and why?

Interpersonal wellness is producing solid, respectful communication with people, near and far. How do you relate to others and how do others relate to you? 

Challenge: Ask 3 people you trust to give you a honest answer on how they perceive you and your behaviors.

This podcast introduces 5 steps to increased interpersonal communication:

1. Gain more self-awareness - Are you aware of how you feel, think and believe... and how you relate to others?

2. Curiosity is a game changer. Take the time to open up and get out of your own head.

3. Conversation is an art.  Know your audience. Assess verbals and nonverbals. Adjust accordingly.

4. Create well-formed questions.  Know the difference between open-ended and closed-ended questions.

5. Deal with your darkness or it will deal with you.  Make peace with your past. Confront your triggers.

Now, let's look at your interpersonal wellness scale of 1 to 10.  With 1 being "hot mess lane with room to grow" all the way up to 10 (able to navigate interpersonal communication solidly). What's your number? Why?

Send us a message and let us know your score!

221. Swallowing the Jagged Little Pill - Are Men at a Disadvantage in Dating and Relationships?

221. Swallowing the Jagged Little Pill - Are Men at a Disadvantage in Dating and Relationships?

Do remember that burning question, “Will you choose the Red pill or the Blue pill”? 

Those famous words spoken by none other than Morpheous on the Matrix. 

Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. 

Either way you may have heard of a more recent example: “The Movement for Men’s Rights”. This underground society or philosophy, with deep, secret roots on the internet, is not what you may think. The "red pill" is a term used by a group of men (and some women supporters) who assert that mainstream views and treatment of women as pedestalized and victims of a unequal society is fake news.

While some of their opinions may have some validity, the heart of their message contains a root of bitterness and hatred towards women and may we even go so far as to say, themselves. 

Our purpose for creating this episode is to challenge the way the movement has presented its theories, ideals, rules, and guidelines - that all women have gotten a free ride in a fancy car, and that men should take back their power emotionally, sexually, and relationally.

Tune in to this episode of the Challenge Yo Self podcast to hear the recommendations single women should heed in this season of Relationships, Passions and Obsessions.
