54. What Got You Here Won't Get You There; Lessons Learned & Light Bulb Moments
It's #Reflection Friday a new series on the podcast where I reflect on the lessons learned and light bulb moments I had throughout the week. In this episode we talk about my new job, being confident, and bringing your whole self to the table. Being confident is not something that came natural to me. I've had moments where I was courageous and did things boldly, but, to be confident is to stand firm in who you are and where you are and not give a crap about other people's opinions. For me, confidence happens manually and I'm okay with that. Also, this new job has been testing my inner gangster, I explain how I am allowing myself to grieve my old job while being resilient in my job. It's giving "the most" right now, but, "I gots to see it through my boy." As always, thank you so much for listening!

51. Today Was a Good Day #GirlTalk
This episode honors the great day I had on 10/29/2021. May this inspire and uplift you on whatever journey you're on. Today I had my first "intake session" as a member of #NACA, the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America. "A non-profit organization that is committed to assisting economically disadvantaged individuals with becoming homeowners." I started this journey in March 2021, 7 months later we are standing strong and moving forward. It's been a long emotional journey more than it has been physical, which is why we get into how most journey's are 90% mental. How are you handling your mental health during seasons of waiting? Sis, it's hard. But, with the right support and healthy connections, anything is possible. I've made great strides in my financial journey of creating a life where I am financially safe, and this is coming from someone who, at one point, considered themselves to be the "broke friend". I am committed to breaking the cycle of financial insecurity and poverty and I'm sharing my highs and lows along the way.
