Ep.19: Mercury Rx Report Card- Stop playing with me.

Today’s episode is all about my Mercury Retrograde Report card.

Ep. 15: It's the emotional instability for meeee.

Today's episode focuses on why it's so important for us to NOT date when we lack emotional stability and maturity. Many people are on their healing journey working through their inner child traumas. Unfortunately, many people choose to unpack their traumas and think they can use their partners to go through their healing process. UM... NO. Sis or Sir, I'm here to tell you that when a person is unpacking their traumas in a connection; pack your bags and head to the door. Emotional stability is a major key to healthy connections and relationships... without it, trust, you'll lose your edges and go insane. In 2022, we choose healing and peace.

Ep. 11: By you not choosing me, it taught me to choose myself.

Straight from the vault comes this episode. Episode 11 was created back on 3/26 to focus on my steps to healing after experiencing an ending of a relationship/friendship.

Therefore, this episode can help prepare you with how to heal from such endings.

CLEAR THE AIR: Perspective, being honest, & how to flip ya heartbreak to a breakthrough.

Also, I touch on what I’ve been going through emotionally and spiritually with various relationships that have exited my life. Lastly, I touch on the concept of perspective.
