Loving Relationships for Women of Color

Would I do an episode about ghosting and then ghost? Apparently so. But wait... lemme 'splain, tho. This week's podcast is all about the last month, my move, and my spiritual awakening. Find out the hard lesson I had to relearn when I was today years old.

How is it that getting ghosted is so silent but it speaks so loud? If you've ever been ghosted, this show will heal you. If you've been ghosting, come get your smackdown for f-ing up the dating landscape. 

Today's show is all about that Inner Glow Up. What does it take to really glow up in a sustainable way. Sure we can always, lose weight, buy expensive clothes and hair, fix our teeth, etc. But what causes that light in our eyes? How do we shine bright like the sun at any age? Listen in. 

Gurl! There are a gazillion options between begging for his attention and waiting in the corner for his call. Let's talk about it. We'll also talk about the message that we send when we go into hardcore pursuit of a man. #love #dating #matchmaking

Are you a high-achieving, no-nonsense, badass in your career and education? Do you wonder how it affects your love life? You're not alone. Listen in, this week I talk about the Need to Achieve and how accomplishments can attract or repel connection.

 In this episode, Frank and I get into he said/she said about my love life. Listen in as we accidentally model a partnership conversation with conflict. How do you do with feedback? Do you have people around you who question your BS or tell you their honest truth?

Do men have any sexual shame? Are you grossed out by the male gaze? This week Frank Love and I jumped into the often avoided topic of sexual shame and why I don't mind being catcalled. 

What do you think about when we say the phrase deserve level? Do you think about what you deserve, do you think about what makes you deserving? Do you think about what makes other people deserving? Frank Love and I have an overflowing conversation about the many ways that "deserve" shows up in our love lives and more importantly our relationship with ourselves. #relationships #single #dating #enou...

Is it racist to refuse to date outside your race? Frank Love and I dive into a conversation about modern race relations and romance. We barely scratch the surface, but I share some of the biases that come up in matchmaking. Frank shares his experience of always loving black women. 

This is one of my favorite questions to ask potential matchmaking clients. I get to find out exactly how they view integrity. Does your partner know how to keep their word? Do you? Does your partner understand the power of their word? Do you? I also share some of the ways I didn't keep my word and how it affected important relationships in my life. #wordkeeping #promises #chronicallylate #communic...

Frank Love and I chop it up about those three little words. Do your "I love you"s mean anything? How do you know? I've started questioning my own and it's taking me down an enlightening path. #relationships #iloveyou #dating #marriage #lovecoach

I started listening to a book entitled “Men Who Can’t Love” Written by Julia Sokol and Steven Carter. It has me asking the question "Is it really that so many men are afraid to commit?" What if it's just their intuition saying we're not the ones to commit to? Is it easier to think that there must be something wrong with THEM? Are we letting it be ok to NOT be every man's cup of tea? Get into this...

Unprecedented times call for un-present-dented measures. It's Holiday time! Will the usual electronics and fuzzy slippers suffice after the year we’ve had? Tonight I’m going to talk about gifts we can give ourselves and each other that will cost us nothing, last forever, and be worth more than anyone could ever afford.

If you’ve been listening, you know that I always say that every good relationship is a series of moments that worked out well way more often than not. Praise is one of those things that, exchanged generously with authenticity, can mean the difference between loving to be around someone and avoiding them like the plague. Have a hard time accepting or giving praise? Listen in and let us know what yo...

Were you automatically added to the national registry of “wrong” relationships? Listen in and find out for sure. I’ll also share how you can have your name deleted and go from struggle to ease.

On this show, I talk about what it means to balance the pressures that we put on ourselves based on science, circumstance, and society and how to not give in to these pressures and keep hope alive. We can have the love and life we dream of but we gotta know how to allow it into our lives. Join me, let’s talk about it.

We’re going to talk about all the ways the Pandemic is helping to take the pressure OFF of being single over the Holidays, and how single people can be a part of the connection revolution and still find love if they want to, while still being safe and responsible. If you’re at all worried about isolation over the Holidays tune in. #dating #covid #holidating #covidanddating #safedating #compatabili...
