Somebody’s Godmother

When speaking about our journey towards our higher self, we often begin the moments when we need to feel, process, & sit with our truths. Join me this Sunday as I discuss this integral moment in the journey to self discovery. #somebodysgodmother #sundayswiththegodmother

The healing is more important than the “fixing.” Healing is far more than slapping a bandaid on the bruise & moving forward. Healing is diving deeper into bruise before it becomes a scar. So let’s heal. #somebodysgodmother #sundayswiththegodmother

This is a new segment on Respect Her Mind. These are affirmations that guide oneself that speak truth to power in navigating spaces that may not always welcome light & love.

Projecting is something that is done too often nowadays. It can be harmful & damaging to friendships & the self so here’s my take on the topic & how I’m doing my best to overcome it in my personal life.

We all know that relationships require work. This is a snippet of what I feel relationships are, what they could be, & our potential to see ourselves through the eyes of those that love us.

Friendships that matter the most to us are work & they take a type of patience that isn’t easily accessed. This episode merely scratches the service of these complex yet necessary “soul-ships.”

A New Year means new goals, new aspirations, & a new chapter to create! Along with that comes critique, listen in to hear my take on resolutions, personal education, & the journey of rebirth.

We all want a happy ending, don’t we? Our happy endings won’t look the same & that’s perfectly fine. Or our happy endings won’t always be the way we planned them. We must make peace with that.

Since life isn’t the easier journey, people tend to settle for an average life. Here’s my take & some unpopular opinions on the topic.

Specific standards & expecations are built into the constructs of our society. People fail to realize that not everyone has the same sexual, future, and relationship desires. We must acknowledge these differences without imposing heteronormative expectations onto those who classify differently.

There is nothing easy about healing. There is nothing easy about forgiveness. However, these acts are possible for anyone who has experienced pain, sorrow, & trauma.

This is a special episode of Respect Her Mind because it wasnt planned, it doesn't have a title, & it was straight off the dome! Bear with me through this semi rant. ;')

CELEBRATE YOURSELF! No matter what it is, no matter where you are in life, Celebrate You. Do it big, bold, & full of love! *don’t forget to listen to the song at the end of each podcast😘

Relationships are so important! However, we get caught up in trying to be in one that we forget the wholeness & peace that comes when being single.

Since Tiffany Haddish's debut many people have been critical of her outspoken delivery. Also, many Black women have shamed her for her actions, but I for one am sick & tired of Black women telling other Black women how fo live their lives.

The list of white people or non-black people being invited to this “cookout” grows as the days go by. From viral tweets to videos, I found myself irritated at the trivialization of Black issues & oppression. #NobodyIsInvitedToTheCookout

The Body Positivity Movement has major critiques on its radical encouragment & overall mission. This is my opinion on the movement as a whole & subtopics that need to be discussed.

Celebrating people may not be easy for everyone, but in this episode I give some tips & example of how I celebrate those around me. I encourage you to do the same. At the end of each episode I'll include a vibe (song) that I think you check out!
