In the Middle with Mira

Disney movies be preaching. Like for real. I often watch a Disney movie and come out this a life and spiritual lesson that would rival any pastor in a pulpit. 

Encanto was no exception. And I'm not talking about Bruno, no, no!

I'm talking about "Surface Pressure". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQwVKr8rCYw All about one sister who is carrying the weight and the expectations of her entire family and she is breaking under the pressure, but no one notices or cares. 

Is that you, sis?

If so, take a listen and be free. 

Hey, sis. 

Do you have a serious case of the wow is me's? 

Does your sister, cousin, and all them "have a better life than you"?

Listen to this quick "minute with Mira", and hopefully this will help. 

Hey Ladies. 

It's been a minute. Sorry about the gaps in uploading new podcasts. I am in the process of relaunching and session break. 

So for the next few weeks, I will be doing short segments of "Minute with Mira"!

So enjoy the first one, discussing the differences between mistakes and patterns. 

Hey Ladies in the Middle. 

Last week, in episode 32, we discussed "cheat proofing" marriage. We all agreed, there AINT no such thang. 

However, we discussed that wives should be intentional about breeding an environment where toxic behavior, including infidelity, is more difficult to grow. 

We are picking up today where we left off last week. At the conversation of Sex and a wives "role" in the bed room. 

In the wake of "relationship guru" Derrick Jaxn being exposed for multiple incidents of infidelity, coupled with the every growing popularity of Love and Marriage Huntsville (largely due to the drama centered around the separation of the Holt's), there has been lots of discussion centered around relationships, marriage and divorce. 

So we are going to continue that discussion here in the middle. 

An unfortunate "leaked" recording of Kirk Franklin and his son surfaced a few days ago. Kirk has since apologized and acknowledged his actions were inappropriate. 

However, the overwhelming response from the church has gone far beyond supporting him. The response has drifted into support of his behavior. 

I have my own thoughts on the mater. 

Tune in and let me know what you think. 

Sis, are you tired? 

Overwhelmed?

Exhausted?

And see no end in sight?

You are not alone.

I'm so glad you stopped in the middle today. Here are a few tips to help you catch your breath and overcome being overwhelmed! 

Just a quick sister love letter from me to you.

Hope it encourages you.

Hey Ladies in the Middle.

Let's learn a little bit from the women of the bible. 

Do they really have relevance to us today?

YES MAM they do!!!

We are starting today with Eve. 

Sis, do you have any Eve-ish tendencies that are negatively impacting your life?

Find out now. 

Are you looking at your life in a particular area and wondering why you have not been able to consistently achieve, master and conquer it? Is your relationship with Christ, on again, off again? Have you been to counseling, read books, attended workshops, and still, no consistent growth? 

Then sis, tune in to today's podcast and lets talk! 

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired as it relates to your weight? Do you feel food is your enemy? Do you turn to food for comfort? Are you ready to win the battle of healthy lifestyle as it relates to eating and diet management?

Completed unedited version of our conversation with Shundria Riddick, LPC. 

When Mother's Day rolls around, do those Hallmark commercials just not resonate with you at all? Do you stand in the greeting card aisle struggling to find a card that encapsulates the complexity of your relationship with your mother? Does this day cause anxiety and unhealed childhood wounds to resurface?

I recognize that many women struggle with pain and resentment from unhealthy relationships with their mothers. Today, I invited Shundria Riddick, Licensed Professional Counselor to help dissect and deal with this topic.
