Conversations With Yaya

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.

Some people will spend a lifetime on healing and deeply focused on self-improvement that they forget to live in the present. Don't let that go over your head.

Hey Guys! Check out my interview with PR Legend Lynn Hobson as I discuss my books, my journey, where I've been and where I'm going!

Be mindful of folks running to tell you what someone else said about you under the guise that they're looking out for you. Some folks are messy and want to see you hurt, more importantly they're too much of a coward to tell you how they feel about you, so they hide behind telling you what other people feel about you. Don't let that go over your head.

Mind your business sometimes! Some people just want attention for their situation not actual guidance and sound advice. You will be left feeling drained while they skip off into the sunset in blissful ignorance.

Apologize to yourself the same way you’d ask for forgiveness if you hurt someone else. You deserve your own grace, too. Forgive yourself for not knowing better before you learned better. 💛

When someone tells you that you should be humble or when someone passive aggressively casts doubt on your confidence, please believe that he, she or they are not your tribe.

Talk To Me Nice Podcast hosted by Ayana Ellis is like therapy set to music.

If someone that hurt you spun the block and admitted to what they did and they sincerely apologize, is that enough to forgive? Discernment is always key in these situations but let's talk about it real quick.

They say healing makes you mean, I say healing makes you mean what you say. Don't worry about defending your name in rooms where people are hell bent on misunderstanding you. Be the Villain in their story and be a damn good one!

Friendship breakups are rough but sometimes necessary. Let's talk about it.

You will hear it time and time again that when you reach a certain age, you have no fux to give. I used to think it was a myth, well I'll be damned it's true! Press Play.

Sometimes you have to sit back and let people do what they need to do on their own. Alot of people really do need your help and advice while others just want attention and they end up wasting your time. Know when it's time to step back and mind your business.

We're at the big age now where you should be way past making these kinds of decisions. I'm not here to judge but ...baby what is you doing? Let's chat!

I have my theory on my mean girls turn into mean women. Let's talk about it shall we?

Sometimes we get so caught up in life, surviving, living, healing etc that we forget to live!!!!!! Next thing you know, years done went by and you don't even know who you are any more. But then one day you wake up And everything you went through is beautiful. If you can relate, this episode is for you.

Your life is worthy of praise, no matter how big or small the accomplishment. No matter who's clapping for you or not, make sure to clap for yourself, always!

Did you know that it's a scientific fact that the woman you hang around the most can affect you physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and financially? Let's have a ponderosa about the benefits of having great women around you and how you reaction around women says more about you than it says about them.

When you pray to God, "Show Me How Good It Can Get" be prepared for what he's going to give you but most importantly what he's going to take away. Certain paths or meant to be traveled alone. Come and talk to me!

The way this generation finds it so funny when people get their heart broken and how they villainize the victim in the situation, is delusional and vile to me. I thought about this as I watched the entire internet tear Meg the Stallion down after she got her heart publicly broken. I have a theory.... Press Play...

Inspired by the horrible news of Tina Campbell's (Mary Mary) husband Teddy filing for divorce after 25 years a slave, I want to talk about why forgiveness is overrated and closure needs to stop being romanticized. When someone violates me, they become Persona Non Grata, period.
