Hey hey!  How are you?  Really.  I want to know.  My week started off real sketchy because I had to learn a hard lesson where I had to take all the years of my living and learning to relearn the difference between accountability and judgment.  I thought I knew but those lines can get blurred really quick.  Tune in and let's talk. Love ya!  God is! Grace + JOY, Dr. J

Dropping some quick knowledge in less than 10 minutes.  This is the new move.  I asked God to give me direction as to how I can continue the podcast solo with a worthy message that provokes positive, sustainable change.  He did just that.  All of our episodes are great but this one here was done in true "Shaniqua" fashion  - vibrant integrity. God is.  Enjoy!
