Shou Talks

Boundaries in a relationship….you mean I’m not supposed to know every single social media friend his has? You mean I’m not supposed to take my girl everywhere with me? You know face you make when I tell you that my husband has me blocked on all social media platforms, YEAH THAT ONE! Special Guest…..GP aka my husband (can’t tag him because I’m blocked) and I talk about having boundaries within our...

We are living in a world where everyone wants to be a BOSS....Boss Babe, Boss Chick, Boss Man even Boss Baby! I honestly believe that we should stress the need for LEADERS instead of Bosses. If everyone is a boss then who is teaching the next generation these skills to grow and prosper? Let's focus on being leaders instead of bosses so that when we die, our legacy lives on! I can’t post this episo...

This episode is dedicated to Mama & Papa Biton. Shou Talks went on a short hiatus last year and I’m finally ready to talk about it. Anyone that knows me, understands how much my parents meant to me. This has been such an impactful journey that I have no choice but to accept the shift God has placed in my life and share it with you. Let me know what you think about this week’s episode in the co...

Those of you that know me understand my INFATUATION with @willsmith so when I found out that HBO Max was hosting Fresh Prince of Bel-air, I immediately created an account and started binge watching. It wasn’t long before I came across an episode that is addressing something still going on today. Season 1 episode 6: Mistaken Identity. In this episode, The Banks are faced with the reality check of R...

So I was having a conversation with someone about their “situationship” but because we are all adults I gotta keep it real and call it what it is……STRAIGHT FOOLISHNESS!!! Since when did it become ok to love someone on the low? Why are we, as a society, so ashamed to display the value someone brings into our lives? I definitely need someone to help me understand this concept so please check out wha...

Y’all, that lil old Haitian Lady that lives in my head came out in this one. I literally had a dream and it brought me to today’s topic. Domestic Violence is something that we see so much on reality TV that it is almost normalized BUT did you know that in the U.S., on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner. Did you know that approximately 1 in 5 fema...

When we hear the term “love language” we instantly think relationships and romance. The five love languages are: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch. It’s common to have more than one love language, I have two (y’all know I’m ALWAYS EXTRA): quality time and physical touch. Knowing this has allowed me to LOVE ON ME CORRECTLY. I make sure to cut ou...

Everybody got a BREAKING POINT but why do we allow ourselves to get to that point in order to remove the toxin? We do we feel the need to hold onto toxic relationships? Why do we feel the need to provide the solution to EVERY issue whether it’s ours or not? Have you ever had to cut someone off and it actually felt GOOD? Lemme know what you think in the comments. Don't forget to tune in EVERY Wedne...

Shoutout to @sofenomenal for her post last week about ”friendship” because it planted this week’s topic into my mind. From Aristotle to Fena, I define friendship through my experiences and my challenges. Shoutout to EVERYONE that has played a role in defining friendship and helping me distinguish between the three types: Friendship of Pleasure, Friendship of Utility and Friendship of the Good For...

Shoutout to @hesovlad for forwarding this IG post to me from @xonecole. It dives into different attachment styles within relationships and explains how we were raised as a determining factor to how we attach to people later in life. For the record, I AM NOT A RELATIONSHIP EXPERT! I am just speaking from my experiences and observations so check me out and let me know what you think. Make sure to co...

Listen ya’ll this week’s topic is one I’m still learning to deal with; still learning to understand; but most importantly still battling. Codependency is defined as excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or addiction. I saw it growing up and lived it most of my life. I have been on BOTH ends of a codependent relations...

I grew up in a STRICT Haitian Catholic household where Sundays were dedicated to God and God only. We woke up, got dressed and went to church (for HOURS) As I got older, I started to lean away from the church for MANY reason but never because I stopped believing. I have recently started going back and want to chat about what took me away from the church and why I came back. Were you forced to go t...

Do you know how to listen to your body? Do you actually take the time to understand the signals your body gives? At a very young age, we’re taught that how we look is more important than how we feel. “Matters of the soul soon become matters of the body” Don't forget to tune in EVERY Wednesday for a new episode of Shou Talks, available on Anchor, Spotify, Google Podcast, Pocket...

Self-Awareness is defined as conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, motives, and desires. Check me out as I discuss my theory based on Erikson Stages of Psychosocial Development. Specifically Stages 4 & 5 and the role they play in self-awareness. Trust me when I say, I know this road VERY WELL and still find myself navigating through it but it's called a journey for a reason.&nb...
