Moms and Martinis
By Kira
Moms and Martinis welcomes you into the kitchen table talk I share with my friends. We discuss our past and how it has shaped us into who we are today. How life impacts us mentally, physically, spiritually, and financially. Most importantly, how do we create a legacy by building a pipeline of future leaders.
Reverse Bucket List
In this week's episode of #MomsandMartinis, we celebrate Kira turning thirty-fine. Together we reflect on our last year sharing what was hard, things we hid from others, images that made us smile, things that make us proud, what we want more of, what we've forgotten, and what we failed to notice.

License to Love
In this week's episode of #MomsandMartinis, I am joined at the table with Penrose Eames from Penrose versus Anybody Podcast. We answer the question, do you truly need a license to love? We explore beliefs in marriages, relationships, dating, and prenups. We talked about having the option to opt out of the marriage, without penalty, at the two year renewal process. Penrose shares why he believe his lady was created just for him and why he believes their relationship is so solid.

Take Care Of Me
In this week's episode, we get back to love and relationships with my special panel of guests; Kaci, Kay Kay, Mista Calhoun, and BJ. We discussed out interpretation to the song Take Care by The Dream. I immediately kicked things off with the important question asking what does it means to be taken care of? We also discussed that it means to be encompassed by love, and why some people fantasize the idea of being in a relationship without looking at the reality of the work it takes to maintain a healthy relationship. This topic was a great one with many varying opinions.

Setting the Table - Part 2
In this week's episode of Moms and Martinis, Kaci, Kay Kay, Calhoun and I continue the conversation about setting the table. We discuss identifying the red flags before entering a relationship, dating a man with children, the differences between standards and preferences. We also discuss dating someone who was not what we considered to be the ideal mate and how the relationship worked. Calhoun gives the ladies tips on how to show effort in a relationship.
Despite the in-depth conversation, we are still left with so many questions. Do we blame society for the narrative that is being shared about the division between men and women? Is there a double standard for men and women? Are men judged by their money? Are women judged based on their sexual partners? Are plus-size women looked at as fetishes?

They also discuss the importance of mentors, gathering feedback, the importance of the root chakra, why it stabilizes everything you do, and why you should NOT gift people your business.
Here are a few questions to ponder:
What are the signs that you need to stop to recalibrate to become balanced and realigned?
When should you slow down to take inventory of things in your life to determine what's next?
How can one tell if they are in full alignment and living purposefully?

Access Denied with Shereece
The Moms and Martinis podcast is a biweekly listen into the kitchen table talk between the host, Kira, and her friends. Kira, mom of four from Atlanta, Georgia, invites you to witness candid moments in her life as she tries new things and goes to new places, all while becoming a better person and mother and keeping her mental health in check.
In this week’s episode, Kira is joined at the table with Shereece to discuss being a strong friend. Shereece explains why the importance of normalizing courting your friends and setting clear expectations about what you are looking for in a friendship and from that person. They also discussed why asking your friends for permission to dump before unloading new information on them emotionally. How do you want your friends to show up for you?
Kira outlines the four levels as adapted from Waiting and Dating by Dr. Myles Monroe.
acquaintances: occasional contact with very general knowledge of each other; talk about general topics that won’t cause the person to feel threatened or that you are trying to pry; the lowest level of friendship
Casual friends: have common interests, activities, and concerns; meet more frequently than acquaintances and talk about common interests; praise and encourage each other in achievements and accomplishments; not serious about each other emotionally.
Close friends: mutual interests and life goals, handiwork mutually toward reaching those goals; often share similar values, ideals, and worldviews; “Most people never get this far in their relationships, and others jump straight from acquaintances to “intimate” because they do not know how to go through the friendship-building process.
Intimate friends: committed to the development of each others character; requires the freedom to be vulnerable, as well as correct each other; mutual responsibility of open honesty with discretion; committed to working with each other toward becoming better people

Heart History: My First Love
In this episode, Kira's dad, Dr. H, joins in the conversation to talk about what makes a good stepdad. He has 13 children (that he knows about), which includes five biological children and eight bonus children. Dr. H shares why he has always insisted on not labeling his blended family as "half or step". He tells the story of his great aunt who told him never to speak to her again if he did not take care of his children. Kira gets emotional as she describes the love and care her stepmother has for her. She shares why she feels that she set an ideal example of who co-parenting in a blended family should look like. Kira's parents have been together for 35 years, and her father provide insights on how he has been able to sustain his long term relationship.
Dr. H shares the two heart surgeries he had in Aug 1994 and May 2002. Kira ties his procedures into her quest for love outlining how hereditary issues and her personal self love journey have shaped her views on love. They discuss that similar to some heart surgeries a person may have to take from other parts of themselves to make themselves whole and receptive to love. During that time, one may have to rely on their support system, change who and where they receive information, and change the way they live to receive love. They also discuss that having a second surgery is likely; however, it could be life threatening. Which in terms of love, one may never recovery from a broken heart and commit themselves to a life of singleness and become unwilling to love again.
Kira's dad describes her as a child. He says he knew she was different when she turned 2 weeks old and how she carved a special place in her heart. They share four phone calls that caused a pivot in their relationship. The first of him telling her that he was not returning back to Atlanta to live with her, her brother, and mom as a father. The second, when Kira called to share that her mom was sick and needed help closes out family affairs. The third when Kira left a voice message using her second language of profanity telling her dad how she felt. Then the fourth call back from Kira to apologize, forgive her father, and begin to heal their relationship.
Kira is shocked to learn that her father thinks she should wait to get into a relationship. However, he does describe what he thinks would be the ideal partner for his daughter and why traditional gender roles would never work for Kira. Dr. H shares why he believes women are more durable than men and why they should not sacrifice their own dreams for those of her partner.

The Invisible Suitcase: Dating with Trauma
In this episode, Tiana Renee and Kira discuss how trauma impacts our approach to dating, love and relationships. They discuss how our frame of reference is packed away in our invisible suitcase and take that into all of our relationship (friends, family, and intimate partner). Additionally how the individuals in our lives challenge the work and healing that we have completed on ourselves. Tiana talks about how anxiety and certain sensations that resembles our trauma can lead to us targeting our partner which may not always be the case. She also breaks down how our brain is trained to respond to trauma. Kira shares why she believes your expectations show up in your behavior and how it reflects in our core beliefs. They both share how they detach from people and situations and how they prepare themselves for the worst case situation. They shared how healing looks in different people; especially when dating. Every person in your life will reveal something about you. The people who challenge you if they care, building a foundation that is built to last. Every time someone pulls something out of you, they are revealing another part of you. Tiana credits her therapist for references the Zillow commercial of Sue, who had to face all parts of herself when making a buying decision. The negative, spontaneous, paranoid, anti-social, lazy, stressed, helpful, and gullible sides of yourself. Therefore, you have to consider the people at your table and which side of yourself who is doing the work. Kira shares how she invests in her children mental health that will require additional professional resources. The two review a Psychology Today article about childhood trauma and Tiana shares tips for parents of children who have or are experiencing trauma. Kira shares how not address her childhood trauma cause her to consider conversations as confrontation.
