SituatedConversations with Andrea “AB” Blackley

WE MADE IT!!! That just keeps coming to mind, considering 2025 is so FRESH! We start with Reflections, tap into inspirations, and then we end with the Book of Job! We are about to have an INCREDIBLE YEAR ya'll!!!!

This episode is a piggyback off of Episode 5...Creating a Safe Space for Conversation, and a video that I shared on social media talking about monitoring spirits and lack of support. The engagement encouraged me, and a few people affirmed me of who I am...honoring my Honesty and Transparency. Weaponizing self-expression is just not cool, and it has become normalized. People, including myself have...

Getting back into the swing of things seems to always be a part of the journey. As long as the swinging is consistent, we will be alright. It's been a few weeks since the last episode, and so much has happened...including how I look. I didn't intentionally wait to do my next episode, it just kind of happened this way. So, in the process of us getting our GROOVE with this, "Creating a Safe Space fo...

The word "weird" is a relative word. Even after doing this episode, which was recorded right after the "Selection," I want to expound on how being "weird" can also be a SuperPower! Next episode! Episode 4 however, is somewhat of a response to the display of how our environment views Character and it's value when it comes to Leadership. It also addresses those people who attempt to make others feel...

This is a very hard pill to swallow. All of us have different experiences, so this episode will resonate with those who it is intended to. I share some experiences that I've had to give a perspective of how this lesson is learned and taught! The most important message to get from this episode, is to KNOW how GOD SEES YOU! From there, we have to see ourselves that way too. When we do this, prayerfu...

We already know that this Podcast is going to get DEEP, simply because this is the THIRD time that I have had to type this description, due to some kind of weirdness going on when I click a certain button. WOOOO SAHHHH!!! Now, how deep will we get? We won't know until we get there, but the intention is to GET TO THE ROOT! Ok, this episode is going to tap into part of what the future holds for Situ...

My Birthday gift to myself was to follow through and relaunch my Podcast...DONE! The Great48 is a whole new BOOK, but a continuation of the series of Life. It's been 3 years, 4 months, and 1 day (as of Oct. 15, 2024) since the last episode, and so much Growth and Wisdom development have happened. Now, WE are about to talk about it! Soooooo...Welcome BACK to SituatedConversations with "AB"! God is...

I started to have another conversation with myself, as I was thinking about how people treat you...after you "make it."  But the conversation switched gears real quick... It's only 4 mins. short... LearnToLoveTheLifeYouLive

Last week we talked about disempowering our triggers.  You know why?  Because our triggers make our behaviors predictable, especially when triggered.  Go figure!  Have you ever had someone say "well, you know how (insert your name here) is"?  If so, how did it make you feel?  Have you been "labeled" because of your behaviors?  In the event that you can relate to...

"Triggers" are those sensational moments where our emotions are stimulated into a negative behavior.  When we are not in our power, we react as opposed to respond, to people and/or situations, known as "triggers".  Vibrations are low when we are not in our power.  Low vibrations have no positive benefits, but they can bring awareness to the fact that your VIBES need to shift, if you...

Today, 16 years ago, I became a mother of a KING!  Year 16 came rather quickly, and jammed packed with experiences and wisdom.  I felt a huge level of responsibility towards Nicholas's mental maturity, as today's date got closer to its arrival.  There were a flood of emotions that I had to explore, in order to eliminate anything of low vibrations.  All I could do was take one d...

We all have a dark side, and it's time to talk about the dark shit, so we can TAKE OUR POWER BACK!  Awareness, accountability, acceptance, action, and analytics...the 5 steps towards our POWER.  Learning how to become powerful within ourselves, is a SuperPower.  The question is, who are you?  The next question is, what do you want?  The final question is, what on your dark...

How many times have you uttered the words, "my vibes are off"?  It was either triggered by a person or an event, and sometimes, you wake up and just feel "off".  In those moments, what do you do?  What is your normal "pattern" when your vibes just ain't right? This is something that I chose to dig into because simply put, I like for my Vibes to be HIGH...ALL of the time!  The r...

A lack of Self Love makes us do stupid shit.  There is no other way to put it, in order for the message to hit and stick.  This is all about taking your POWER BACK!  SelfLove is a SuperPower! 

From "Under the Table Talk" to "SituatedConversations," it just made sense.   When I posted the previous episode, that's when "SituatedConversations" hit me, but I had already created the media for the post.  So, I just left it as a hashtag until it was time.  And that time is NOW!   It's a BEAUTIFUL thing to no longer have to speak from a place of pain...the "under the table"...

I was able to experience first hand, what is possible when you are misunderstood by someone who resorts to violence, when they don’t understand. This is an episode, that I never ever predicted that I would be sharing, from a personal experience. Honestly, it still doesn’t make sense to me, however, things don’t just happen. There is always a purpose found in opposition. The devil wanted me to keep...

We never know how the way we treat people, can influence how someone feels about themselves, unless there are conversations about it. How many times has life been lost, because of a misunderstanding? So now, I’m choosing to bring more awareness to Understanding. I’m starting the conversation with this episode. Listen STRONG! May this episode bless your mind!

Being a “strong” single Mother has its pros and cons. Can you relate? We are experts when it comes to miracles, because we have no other choice but to believe in them. But what about when the “strong” need help? I have often heard stories from others, and also experienced personally, that asking for help is a NO NO! Reasons are many and will vary. But the “strong” have a pride, that sometimes need...

Sometimes it seems like an impossible feat, but there are people out here that are emotionally intelligent enough to recognize that we ALL need more LOVE and Love is an EMOTION also. Tough love is not intended or suppose to kill one’s Spirit... It should be used to dig deeper into the richer Spirit, to pull out greatness. And yes, relative “pain” will be involved and we will need support and love...

Nothing that happens is random. Everything has its place, purpose, and timing. 2018 kicked a lot of folks’ ass! That’s just means, we need to focus more on being armored up! Let’s talk.

Fear...so many people give fear too much control over their lives. Time is then wasted in pointless attempts to eliminate or avoid fear, especially in business. What if you chose to build a relationship with fear, instead of it being your enemy? Would that give you a different behavior towards it? Would you become excited every time you were faced with fear, as opposed to being debilitated? You ca...

We all can go a lil deeper when it comes to resolving “issues”. These conversations and realizations aren’t always easy to have or accept. However, a choice to get to the ROOT of our uncomfortable moments and seasons, will deliver a FREEDOM like no other. Getting to the ROOT requires more compassion and understanding for SELF first. When we do the SELF works, our ROOTS will be healthy again!

Take a minute to reevaluate your perception, and MAYBE you will find the truth. POEM
