The Intricacies of Dating & Relationships

Are you afraid of expressing your feelings to your significant other? Do you feel that there is no "safe space" for you to express yourself? Lola, who is an author, speaker, coach, and the founder of Heal Black Joy (Instagram: healblackjoy) and I have a conversation tackling these conversation pieces and other topics that get deep to the root of why present love does not look like past love. What is the difference? 

Its been a little while! This short episode dives into why I haven't put out any new episodes for a couple months. It's been a tough few months and now i have enough strength to talk about it and inform you. Thank you for continuing to ride with me, and I thank you for listening to this episode. New episodes coming soon!

Did you know there were 4 types of intimacy? All 4 are listed with examples in this podcast as our returning guest Sheila Deneus, CEO of Cheri Ou Bel Cosmetics, and I discuss these as well as which do we identify with. In addition, we take a dive on the battle between Emotional Cheating VS Physical Cheating. Which do you believe you'd be able to come back from? We give our opinions on this as well! Lastly, we take a deep dive on the subject of friends having ulterior motives with your potential/actual partner. This conversation spiked a lot of comments (as this was an Instagram Live) and we share those opinions as you will hear. Listen and get ready to take a ride down a deep conversation between Sheila Deneus and I. Thank you for listening!

Topics for this episode include Positive Affirmations as well as while dating or in a relationship, should your partner be taking care of your mental health? Should it be a combined effort? Are you responsible for your own? Are you the type to make the first move? We also discuss our fears when it comes to relationships and dating as well.

This episode lets you enter the mind of a man when dealing with heartbreak. The idea of a man being heartbroken is ridiculed because of the notion of "what did he do to contribute to his heartbreak" or "he must have cheated and now he feels bad." Sometimes that is the furthest from the truth. Come listen to this episode where we are vulnerable, transparent and let you peak behind the curtain of heartbreak. We also touch on the "Apology tour" or often called the "Healing tour" where my guest Benley illustrates his experience with this.
