The B.E.I.N.G. Podcast

We are definitely in the celebration season! Spring has finally sprung, and we are in the flow of graduations, weddings, and of course Mother’s Day just passed. Being a New Year’s Day baby, yes we won the prizes as I ran out feet first at 0129hrs 🤣, so I LOVE to celebrate. The thing is though, while there seems to be a National “something” day every day…while we stop and celebrate those and the o...

Have you heard the saying, “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family”? There is a lot of truth in that statement and as adults, who have some life experience behind us, this is even more relevant now. I say often to my friends, and to myself to be honest, that while it does “take a village to raise a child”, we as women also need our own community. In this episode I share the...

It’s funny how when things tend to go wrong I’m relationships, marriages, and even at work it is often chalked up to a lack of communication…leading to misunderstandings and misguided decisions. I’m this episode I re-visit the art of communication, but from the vantage point of HOW we talk to ourselves. Many advise that we ought to speak to ourselves as we would to a family member or to a friend....

If you have been listening, or watching, so far this season you know that I am challenging us all to get after a few things. 1. Getting to the core of who you are or wish to be. 2. Finding your voice and means to communicate, to yourself and others. 3. Taking action, small steps lead to big change and realizing your dreams and goals. Well this week I get into another building block…doing things fo...

I have talked about peace a lot, mainly because as I get older I crave more of it. It is becoming a necessary part of my life, as it directs my actions, my reactions, the flow of my day, and is part of my mental and emotional foundational blocks. To be honest I set my weekly intentions typically on Sunday’s, because that is the day I set as the start of my week. If all is going well, I start the w...

Hey ladies! The past couple of weeks have been a bit hectic for me, but through all of the ups and downs I continue to take stock of it all, to position myself to continue to reach my goals. In this mini-episode I take a few minutes to just reflect on a few of the topics I have covered so far this season. I invite you to listen, take stock, answer the questions to yourself, and get ready as I cont...

Ladies, there are so many things going on around us that it is often easy to be distracted. Some of these are self-inflicted, while others aren’t of any fault of our own. Regardless of what you have faced, are facing, or may face; I want YOU to decide that you will do all you can to find some good in the midst of the madness. I am big on us taking our Power back. Power in the sense of confidence,...

So many people, especially women, are often times overly concerned about what others think, fear, and want that we often don’t live out our own desires. As we continue to explore who we truly are at our core, we are now discussing what it means to truly live out loud! To live in our truths, being authentic to ourselves, we are capable of doing more and accomplishing the goals, dreams and even wish...

In this episode I take a look at and talk about how to deal with adversity. Noting that I, like all of us, are not immune to having adverse actions happen to us. I have tried my whole to live in an upstanding way, with my intentions always being that of integrity, empowerment, and encouragement. That doesn't mean that others receive that in the manner I meant them. As I learn how to better work th...

S2, E8: What you need and Why! This episode is for my momma’s, mom-prenuers, and any woman that is busy doing ALL the things for everyone but themselves. This week I take a look at a few things that I have found to be needed in order for me to thrive and ensure my many responsibilities are successfully completed. While we are all different, I KNOW that we are the same in being the ONE that everyon...

If you are anything like me; you may have been taught, directed, guided…whichever word you like to use, to do or NOT to do certain things. That because you are a particular gender, race, come from a certain people and/or culture, there are just some things you DO NOT DO!! Well I am here to just hit on a couple I was personally told and how despite these TABOOS, I was capable of making my own decis...

As we continue to really look into the core of our B.E.I.N.G.; determining our hopes, dreams and aspirations; and giving ourselves permission to go after them…this week I challenge you to believe that the time is NOW to take action. Whether it is fear, lack of finances, or lack of support we tend to find a “reason” to not move forward in creating the life we want, need and deserve. Well I am here...

Hey lady, yes you! I have a few questions for you, if you’re game? Are you truly living in your truth? In your purpose and/or calling? Have you determined who you truly desire to be or what your passions are? Are you living out any of the dreams the younger version of yourself had? Better yet do you remember them? If you answered no to any, or all, of these perhaps the ultimate question is, “Who,...

In a time where there is a lack of care, compassion and consideration…especially for women who are literally doing it all…I am here to remind you that taking care ofqyourself is essential!! I am also here to remind, or tell you, that we are incapable of pouring from an empty cup. So do the thing that will inspire, encourage, motivate and fill you up! Chocolate, massages, meditation…or whatever lig...

This week I continue to dive into setting the intentions of finding out who we are at the core of our BEING and what is it we desire, want, and need. The challenge now I have for us all is…Betting on Ourselves to make those desires, wants, and needs come to fruition. If you’re anything like me, there is a level of “comfort” or “security” attempting to get the buy-in and validation of those around...

In this episode I dive into getting to the answer(s) of who we truly are at our core. Yes it is wonderful to have acquired the titles we have dreamt about: wife, mother, entrepreneur…and on and on. However; as we continue down this road of “wife-ing, mom-ing, and work-ing” have we lost sight of who we are? Have we put the younger versions of ourselves in a corner to sit and color meanwhile forgett...

I am so excited to be back and pushing myself a bit more this time around...venturing into video and all :) I wanted to take a moment to introduce, and re-introduce, myself to you amazing people who have stopped by to listen to me. In this episode I will drop a few nuggets as to who makes Jada, Jada; as well as explain WHO this podcast is for and my vision for this season. We are so much better to...

Hey y'all!  Yes you can take the girl out of Texas, but not the Texas out the girl :)   I am back with season two of my passion project, i.e. The B.E.I.N.G. Podcast and I am SO excited to not only share a number of topics that I was unable to get to last season, but also specific topics for my Incredible women out there doing All The THINGS!!!  I will be here each and every Wednesda...

I will admit to being “that” girl who dreamt about growing up, reaching both personal educational and professional goals, and YES being married 💍. I had great role models of what marriage looked like in my parents and my maternal grandparents, so it was definitely a goal I had to attain. It’s funny how society, media, and even our family and friends can influence us to think we should be married...

While there are some who believe that Balance doesn’t exist, I think that there are ways that we are able to create routines and systems that can lead to feeling in balance. It is true that we can’t be in more than once place at a time, but we are able to be fully present where we are, if we are able and willing to create and lean on our villages of support. Forgiving and releasing ourselves from...

True peace has the ability to allow us to live the life we desire. As a wife, mom of three, and full-time employee I am well aware of what it means to be everything to everyone who depend on me. I have come to understand that in order to have the ability to accept whatever comes at me and to react from a place of love and grace, my PEACE must be in place. It continues to be a work in progress for...

Effective Communication is vital in the achievement of the plans and goals one has. Efficient Communication is definitely an art form, a skill set, that some may or may not possess. It is often stressed that communication is key, because through the exchange of giving and receiving information is where intentions, needs, wants and desires can be articulated and defuse confusion. So why is it so ha...

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! My sincere hope is that regardless of what you are facing during this time, you are able to find at least one thing to be grateful for. We never know what may come our way and when, but we are capable of deciding how we receive, accept, and react to them. In a time when there seems to be more “bad” than good, more “wrong” than right, I am here to remind myself and yo...

If you are anything like me I have become who I am due to influences of others; my parents, family, friends, society…so on and so forth. However; at the ripe age of 41, I am coming into the alignment of my true Purpose and Passion. I am understanding more and more who I really have been called to be. I also understand that in finding who I am, she has to be nurtured through self-love and self-care...

As a working momma to three incredible little humans I completely understand how it is easy to lose sight of who I am from time to time, because I tend to put my “responsibilities” before my self needs. However, I have also come t...
