Your “inner child” is a part of your subconscious that has been picking up messages way before it was able to fully process what was going on (mentally and emotionally). It holds emotions, memories, and beliefs from the past as well as hopes and dreams for the future. This is a good episode y'all!

Both toxic masculinity and toxic femininity are performed by men and women to attempt to keep their value in society. Toxic masculinity and toxic femininity tell men and women that their worth, value, and validity as men and women is conditional upon their adherence to these roles.  Join us as we dive deeper into the two.

You don't blame others or make excuses, and you do what you can to make amends when things go wrong.  Join us this episode where we dive into Accountability and how to have more in our lives.
