She Speaks A Lot The Podcast

I imposed a challenge upon myself. I thought it was suitable given the nature of my gift and the direction with which I’d like to go. I’ve decided to read daily, yes it's simplistic in nature, but difficult to sustain. So, regardless of the content type and the length of the discourse, I must read something. Reading is the only way I’ll improve; it is through this action that I gain the abilit...

There are over 10 million self-help books available for reader consumption throughout the world. It is imperative to note that most of our population recognizes that stagnation is not a part of the human condition, instead, movement ensures life and vitality. In so doing, humans recognize that growth is the natural progression of any living being. Henceforth, humans attempt to seek betterment dail...

At some point in your life, you must have watched a sporting event or two. I’m sure you’ve seen a football match or a basketball game live. As you watched in eager anticipation for your preferred side to win. You must have noticed that they operated like a team. They worked together to achieve a common objective and with determination came out as winners. Suffice it to say, we’ve only seen the end...

Do you value being perfect? Are you a self-proclaimed perfectionist?🤔😔I've got news for you. Let's chat about it!

In the same light, I hope that you can extend the same grace to yourself. Life can be tough, the best we can do is take it one day at a time. Remember, life may bring the same troubles day in and day out but I guarantee you life’s blessings far outweigh it. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you and I can become better. Whether we take it one step at a time or one moment at a time, we can hold...

After the incessant drought of inactivity and on my part inconsistency. A most fortuitous opportunity was offered to me. One must recognize that opportunities big or small are wonderful in measure and frequency. It is this element that allows for a pleasant surprise and an adequate challenge. This in and of itself is supremely magnificent; granting me the opportunity to feel butterflies in the dep...

According to Kevon Fredericks, of Kev on Stage, people often overestimate how much being good is and underestimate how important consistency is. I believe that one of humanity’s most arduous challenges is consistency. To maintain a set level of output, creativity, communication, and drive, your energy storage must have a large capacity. However, consistency is an energy source that is not always r...

I've missed you so much! Let's get into it! This is Season 3 of the Podcast!

Every morning my alarm signals the start of a new day, a new beginning; so, to speak. As I inhale with thankful recognition that I am alive, I cringe with the unwelcome displeasure of discomfort. Mornings are usually met with the same concern; pain. I am no longer alarmed or surprised, instead, I retreat to the regular activities associated with ‘ getting up ’ or ‘ starting the day ’. Pain, unfort...

Faith over fear. This statement isn’t a magical mantra that will dismantle fear. It isn’t a righteous tool that keeps me in check. It isn’t a phrase that I passively drop in conversations to be liked or evoke some sort of emotion. Faith over fear is something I hope to live by; I hope to walk in faith regardless of my circumstances. To properly address this topic, I need to separate the two words....

Goals.  Life goals, couple goals, financial goals, wardrobe goals, investing goals, and aimless goals. There are so many goals that we can achieve within our short life spans. I believe in the 21st century, the word ‘goals’ has become a sort of buzzword that people use when they want to attain a certain measure of success. So, then it would be safe to assume that all human beings have a goal...

There are approximately 8 billion people in this world.  I know that you may not think about it much, but similar to you, every person counted wakes up and goes about their day just like you. While they may have different objectives, live in different environments, and work in different time zones, they are people just like you and me. At the foundation of being an individual, there are basic...

There is a peace at sunrise that surpasses all understanding. It's a renewal. A feeling that anything is possible. I’d like to say I drag myself from the comfort of my bed every day to enjoy sunrise’s splendor, but you wouldn’t believe me and I would be lying. What is true is I was there that day and so was she.

After the torrential rainfall, the sun burst upon the effervescent earth with beauty and grace. The sun, in its usual fashion, promptly forgot that the clouds rained violently and proceeded to shine with little to no care. The earth, however, remembered, she remembered the ravages of the piercing raindrops upon her foliage. She paused, took a breath, and found the courage to move forward. She surv...

Once upon a time I wanted to be a lawyer , I was convinced that my above-par use of standard English, my ability to reason effectively and find creative ways out of sticky situations, and my ability to argue was a clear indication that I was fit to be a lawyer.  Contrary to my belief, I also wanted to be a nurse, my father made that abundantly clear; but somehow Rashala, attorney at law, stuc...

MO or modus operandi indicates a set standard of behaviours that are observed by and practiced by an individual or a group, usually those involved in nefarious activities. For the purposes of this discussion, we won’t observe criminal behaviours. However, for the most part, the behaviours of law-abiding citizens can be distinguished by named groups in society. Starting in primary school, then seco...

Life is constantly moving, shifting with the times, and bringing back old styles we wish we could have left buried in the past.   Studies have found that as you get up in age moving and keeping active assists in the longevity of life. In the same way, I believe that moving forward regardless of what has just transpired is our only option. Remaining stagnant is dangerous, not only does it indu...

Newness. The concept of new isn’t foreign, we’ve been conditioned to want, even crave new. After we’ve experienced life’s monotony for too long, we search for anything else that may be in store. Usually, dwelling in familiar territory induces boredom, thus propelling us to add something of worth and new to our standard lives. For others, they experience contentment, but I digress. In my journey, n...

Social Media.  Do you remember when social media was only used for fun? If your answer is ‘no', you’re like me. I have vague recollections of social media platforms that just existed to provide a pseudo-form of connection. It must be stated that I still receive many laughs and at times unwarranted conversations on social media but it is now mixed with business and government and health and co...

The traffic ticket was the last straw. For the most part, Casey loved her little bungalow. It was the perfect size for her, and walking distance from the train, a small locally owned supermarket, and a great Mom & Pop breakfast diner. The only problem was that a string of previous tenants had left their mark on the DIY projects of dubious quality, and the buckets of mail they still received at...

This is a story all about how training and Links matter! I don’t know if this seems cliché to you, but everything is connected. Whether you believe it's by divine design or chaos, all things that we know or are aware of are intimately connected. Interestingly, this thought can be observed in our daily lives. As one develops and becomes an expert in his/her craft, that expertise only gets you so fa...

Whenever you’re on the receiving end of rejection, the world seems to stop, your chest feels restricted, your emotions are running amuck and usually, you have no clue where to go next. Rejection hurts. Whether you’re rejected by a fortune 500 company or your secondary school sweetheart it still hurts. Rejection in its pure form is the dismissal or refusal of an idea or proposal or person. Rejectio...

To be frank, if it had been left in my hands, I would not have started. I must be honest in my presentation of the facts. I will not leave any integral part out of this journey to voiceover. I assure you I would have waited for better equipment, better circumstances, better platforms, and better content. I would have waited and waited until I gave up on the idea. Trust me, I would have turned my b...

To maintain your sanity, take a break from social media. Weekly, if you can. I mean it. Constant interaction with social media tends to dim our view of the beauty in our own lives. Social media is a brief glimpse of life; filtered to perfection and buttered with flowery captions. Even though influencers of today attempt to present reality; it’s still only a small part of real life. As we dive into...

It has come to my attention that talent is subjective and similar to beauty, can only be seen through the eyes of the beholder. Talent like everything else is burdened by the reality of options, variety, taste even monetary value. It can be noted, that together, generally human beings have a knack for realizing talent. In most cases, we can objectively state whether something is good or not. ...
