Lately there seems to be a shift happening. Myself included, along with many other have experienced shifts in relationships. Tune in as MaStaysha and I discuss her recent loss of 20 plus year friend after many chances given, misalignment, and the block list. We have all been there or are currently here. If you're the friend always initiating contact with others or are trying to bring everyone along in your circle, this episode is for you. Here's a secret: Everyone can't come along on your journey.
Mindset, Manifestation & the Big 'R' Word
The Melanin Exchange breaks barriers having a conversation about what was supposed to be mindset & manifestation with guest, Madison Rose, mindset and manifestation coach. However, being that the podcast is Pro-Black which doesn't mean anti-White, the episode took a turn to discussing mindset and the Big 'R' word with our first White guest when other podcasts wouldn't allow her to be a guest.
