LIBRA'S THOUGHTS PODCAST - DIVING INTO ADHD and BIPOLAR ISM

This is a touchy topic here. Kevin Samuels is the one who gave this term and definition to the public. Now, I do feel like there is a such thing as a High Value Man and High Value Woman. Listen as I give my explaination of what this type of individual is. You maybe surprised at what you hear me say!!!!

Chile, this topic right here! We often argue about the value of Women and Men through submission and 50/50 conversations. The value of each sex has been reduced to money, clout, and sex. That's it, there is no substance for anything beyond those I just named. We have been so accustomed to living in chaos that anything less than chaos or anything more than chaos will have folks' panties in a bunch....

LAWD LAWD LAWD!!! It's a lot of Queens but none really doing queen-type shit. It's a lot of women pretending to heal by saying the phrases and affirmations, however, ain't doing a lick of work to heal. Healing is a daily practice that requires no days off. It's a painful road because it's one filled with truth and transparency. We are easily able to point fingers at someone else for their wrongs,...

I needed to touch on this topic. I experienced this space and sometimes I still hit the wall and have to work my way out. Mental health in black folks shows up differently than it does with white folks. We don't "act out" the same. The reality is, we honestly don't know what it looks like in us because the textbook description is based on white folks. We don't know how to recognize when our own is...

Chile, y’all may feel a way about what I feel about this BUT!!! Idc, 😂🤣 listen as I give my perspective on 2 magazine covers that many feel have feminized black men!

Whew I know I will ruffle feathers here as well, however, IDC!!! My interpretation of an Alpha Masculine male is discussed in this episode. It's many that claim to be, but there are only a few that can be and will be. There are OG's that I've seen exude this behavior which is why I am convinced that we are truly confused about what this individual should represent and look like. We've really gotte...

Baby listen here, we live so damn poorly. We move with no real intentions. We are the most externally pretty yet physically & mentally unhealthy society. We spend the most time self-sabotaging to gain the bag. We will cause ourselves physical and mental anguish to catch the bag. Our relationships are built on what we can gain from someone rather than how we can build with someone.  Nothing is real...

Ok, I know some will come for me and it's ok. TRUST ME. This wouldn't be the first time. I stand on this, hygiene can not be confused with mental health treatment. It's not, it's not even self-care. Self-care is things you do that heal the mind, body, and spirit. The only thing you gain from the hairdresser, nail salon, concerts, drugs, and sex are short bouts of relief from reality. After that, y...

This Valentine's Day edition which will air later discusses why I choose not to date. Dating isn't complicated it's just not for me right now. The men I desire are not what's in front of me and until that narrative changes, my ass will be out of the way.  I've tried dating, but it just doesn't suit me and the space I am in right now. I really thoroughly enjoy rolling solo and dating myself. This i...

I never took the time to really speak from an understanding space when it came to this situation. I would speak from a place of hatred, words drowned out by my bitterness and disbelief of what happened. I removed the understanding I had for people to be angry at him. I am now able to speak about this from a different mindset, one that's in therapy,  and practicing meditation. Giving him grace as I...

Whew chile, this episode here! Men really take my assertiveness and confidence as "masculine". I've been asked to "Tone" this attribute down. Through therapy, I realized that the men wanted me to come down so they could feel masculine. Spirits that are unsettled have a tendency to drag others down if allowed. I used to let that happen, but not anymore. To carry my life and the lives of my babies,...

Becoming a mom is beautiful. Executing the job is something else. The only blueprint we have to operate from is the one our parents gave us. That's all we got, we can find the gems in what we saw as inadequate and create a new blueprint with those gems our lineage gave us. We will have mistakes our kids will one day hold us accountable for with questions from curiosity and that's ok. Giving your p...

Well

Long overdue! My thoughts are just that, a perspective from life experiences! I’ll talk about things most won’t say and I’ll give my thoughts and views from the experiences I’ve had! The intention is to provoke thoughts and show there is more than one solution and more than one experience! Enjoy the show!!

Whewww I am way too excited about this situation here. This podcast is taking me back to the basics. I miss being a solo host that just talked about her thoughts and views of the world. I want to go back to that and give you all access to the new and improved Libra. I had to walk away and return better so I could gift you a better conversation.  Welcome to the real Libra J. Hicks I hope you l...
