I've been chasing freedom for a very long time. I felt like freedom was a destination, once I do "this" then I will feel free.

And with this new mindset, I am choosing to redefine freedom on my terms. Enjoy the episode,...

I am grateful that I have insight about myself so when I am triggered I know how to nurtur...

An abundant mindset is knowing that you have more than enough resources. A scarcity mindset is the feeling that you don't have enough and there's always a lack. My Granny would often say "money doesn't grow on trees" or "don't nobody have any money." Her beliefs became my own even though we've lived two totally different lives. Over the last few years, I've been intentional about having an abundan...

And because of your unhealthy relationships with black women you've learned not to trust them. In today's episode, I am sharing wh...
