Conversations With Yaya

I know that saying your man runs a strict program is supposed to be a flex, but sometimes it isn't the flex that you think it is. Pay attention to how YOU begin to change and the things you Stop doing once you're in a relationship. Possession and Protection are two different things.

Candi Stanton wrote that hit song after her husband dangled her over a 20 story balcony in Vegas threatening to kill her. She told him the hotel was owned by the mob and they would kill him for bringing this type of press to their business. He then pulled her up and pulled a gun on her. Thank God she survived. And thank God for this song. The lyrics hit different now, don't they?

This question is often asked with judgement. But take the time to understand what's going on inside the mind of an abused woman and just how dangerous these men are. We see it on the news every single day, women are being murdered for trying to leave their abuser. So, though you don't understand and, " it could never be you " let's practice some compassion.

After the chaos, after the healing, after the silence…How do you show up for someone you care about once their rough season ends? And how do you open the door when they try to show up for you? There’s no one‑size‑fits‑all answer. It’s layered. Have a listen — let’s unpack it together.

One of the main mistakes people in abusive relationships make is trying to love their abuser into becoming a different person. They try to FIX their abuser. No matter what you do, you can't change someone that is committed to abusing you. Save your love Save yourself THEY DONT LIKE YOU THEY DONT LIKE YOU THEY DONT LIKE YOU The Abuse will only stop when you LEAVE. I wrote a whole book about it titl...

Do not let it be lost on you that your friend group or friendships can be abusive too. Watch out for those mean girls that are quick to put you on blast rather than put you on. Or quick to call you out rather than call you inward. No form of abuse should be tolerated in any relationship that you have. Thats not love or respect, its humiliation. You deserve love and respect!

DV has a cycle called Psychological Conditioning, meant to confuse you, isolate you, and make chaos feel normal. The four stages are:tension - you can feel it in the air!!! Its coming! You begin walking around on eggshellsincident - the abuse occursreconciliation - apologies, "love", being treated nicely and softcalm - everything settles down and seemingly goes back to normal When you recognize th...

This month on the podcast, I’m diving into the realities of domestic violence, relationships, mental health, sexual abuse and the conversations we don’t have enough. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and I’m using this space to spread knowledge, deepen understanding, and highlight the layers of this epidemic that often get overlooked — beyond just protecting our women. Join me as we un...

I don't know about you. But I don't want nor do I need any yes men in my life nor will I be in anyone's life that requires that of me. I'm too old for that nonsense. what about you?

It's time to stop going back and forth with people thinking that they can disrespect you. Put an end to it.

Is it a scam or is it necessary? I guess it depends on what YOU need. Let's discuss.

I posted a video about the man you're in a relationship with being the possible monitoring spirit that you can't identify and a friend mine had some things today. Ladies and gents, Sexpert Kimi Levadge lol @kimilevadge

The topic of monitoring spirits always relates to friends and family, but what about that man that you share a bed, child, vows with... Why isn't he ever on the docket?

When I stopped making my own plans and demands, God stepped in in a major way for me. I hope that he does the same for you!

Ladies is it just me? What is it about getting closer to 50 or actually turning 50 that really takes away all of your fux to give? What is happening? Whatever it is, I like it, what about you?

I hear you screaming no more drama, but why are you always in some?

We sometimes lose ourselves in life, responsibilities, relationships, all of these things and etc. It's time to come back outside now darling. Streets need a body.

Friendships are supposed to evolve. But some of them can't survive the inevitable change that we all will endure. Let's discuss!

Sometimes we just want the people in our lives to match our energy and be just as pissed as we are about something. There's a time and a place for positivity and support. I know you have my back and that you want this situation to turn around for me but sometimes your loved one just wants you to get mad with them!!!

Social media will have you believing that you can't trust anyone. I refuse to believe that. WHERE ARE YOUR PEOPLE?

I hear you complaining a lot about how messed up everyone treats you except for yourself. What about you? When are you going to take accountability for what you allow?

We all like to think we are special, but when you truly study someone's character you will quickly realize that they will treat you exactly how they treat everyone else, be it good or bad. So, if you ever been around someone that talks about someone as soon as they get up from the table or tells all of their business when they're upset with them, please believe you're next if you'r...

Be good to yourself. There’s no guarantee anyone else will. Protect your peace, honor your needs, and treat yourself with the same care you give everybody else.

I don't think healing makes you mean, I just think it makes you mean what you say. Let's talk about it nicely.
