Your Day and Beyond

Many of us don’t think about the dangers of childbirth until it directly impacts us but 700 women a year die during pregnancy or within the 1st year of giving birth. Black women are 3x’s more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women. Today I’m talking with Boho Mama the Doula and Herbalist, Shardae Simpson about her life as a Doula and how we all can do more to reduce black mat...

Women have always been aware of relationship inequalities.  We’ve been getting the short end of the stick, especially when we started working outside the home.  The domestic responsibilities for some women didn’t decrease when they took on a more active role in contributing to the financial responsibilities. We’ve accepted these inequalities as gender roles but more and more women are redefining o...

Love happens when you least expect it but you can position yourself for love to find you. Be an attraction magnet for love, by holding space for love and keeping your energy vibration high and choosing to be happy no matter what.  But you should also be visible by moving outside your comfort zone and social circle.  

During the pandemic, American businesses started experiencing what experts are calling the great resignation. That’s why it was no surprise to learn that women own 31% of small businesses in the U.S. and that 17% of black women are in the process of starting or running a new business.

There’s a misconception that for a certain group of people, there are limitations on what they can have or who they can be. Many people who are poor believe they will always live in poverty because life has always been that way for them and many women believe they can’t have a family and a successful career because they’ve been told they can’t have it all. These misconceptions continue to have a s...

Today, I’m interviewing Amy Davies and we’re going to talk about breathing and all the benefits of breathing through a tough moment or a stressful lifestyle. Join the conversation as we explore self care, listening to what our bodies need and restorative yoga.

Being attracted to or in love with a man who isn't emotionally available presents a lot of challenges that could potentially be hazardous to your mental health. What signs should you pay attention to? Why does a strong physical attraction or chemistry between you look a lot like an emotional connection? Why are you attracting emotionally unavailable men? 

I’m a firm believer in manifesting the life that I want and there are certain practices that I do like journaling, meditating, prayer and visualizing to help me keep my energy focused toward the things that I want to manifest.   Today, I’d like to ask those of you who don’t believe in manifesting your desires to keep an open mind about it as I guide you in the process of developing realistic datin...

Whether you find yourself alone intentionally or because things didn’t quite work out in your last relationship, getting through all of the holidays can be a bit emotional but today, I’d like to ask you to have an open mind and start embracing your status. What if you could make this year different by embracing where you are and looking at being single from a different perspective? Being single is...

Believing in yourself and believing that you’re enough should be an easy thing to do but unfortunately for many people it’s not easy.  We all experience times where we don’t feel our most confident and how we feel influences what we think but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about a belief system that some women have. A rooted belief that they’re not enough, which has influenced the...

Many people have different beliefs when it comes to the topic of renewing or transforming the mind. Some people believe we are who we are and that can’t be changed and others believe that it’s possible to change if you change your thought process.  So who’s right? I’d have to say both! I believe if you want to change you have to believe it first, then feel it before it can manifest.  I also believ...

What if I told you that you could find Mr. Right in 90-days, would you believe me? I think some of you are skeptical and a tiny few may actually be excited enough to ask me how.  When it comes to finding someone you’re compatible with it can seem like it’s an impossible challenge.  I’ll be the first to admit that It can feel like you’re on a scavenger hunt finding someone who you can connect and v...

Arguing has never solved anything.  It really only makes things worse.  My husband and I are both passionate communicators, especially when it comes to topics that we feel strongly about.  While we were dating, we discovered that our passionate conversations could quickly become arguments so we learned how to de-escalate disagreements before they turned explosive.  We both committed to always doin...

Trying to navigate back to or towards a place of balance can be challenging but no matter how challenging it is, don’t you think it’s worth it and that we owe it to ourselves to have a more stable life?

What is sensuality? It’s defined as enjoyment, expression or pursuit of physical pleasure and sexual pleasure.  When wellness and a meaningful life are the topics of discussion, they seldom include sensuality.

Let’s talk about cheating and the “side chick”! The side chick is the woman who has been called everything from a homewrecker to a hoe. We all know what her role is but does she serve a real purpose?

Having a happy and healthy marriage is not impossible.  It may feel as though it’s impossible, especially when things do not work out the way that you expected or the way you wanted them to.  Things can be turned around and you don’t have to sit idly by and watch your marriage fall apart.

Social media is a great way to catch up with  our family, friends and acquaintances. As great as social media is, it also has a dark side.  It has been linked to higher levels of loneliness, envy, anxiety and depression. As humans we’re all a little judgmental but this is not a character trait that fosters close relationships or peace of mind. Especially when that judgment is fueled by envy and je...

If I told you it’s easy to find your true love, would you believe me? Sometimes you can get impatient waiting for real love! Especially when your desire to have a love of your own is so strong.  It may even seem like the more you desire it, the more elusive it becomes.

Most if not all relationships start with dating and evolve into getting engaged and then married.  At each level there’s work to do to maintain a happy and healthy relationship.

 When you stop to consider the power of love do you ever get awestruck? Love is so powerful that it made an innocent man die for you and for me. John 3:16 tells us just how much we’re loved. Even knowing how powerful love is, sometimes it can be hard for many people to harness that power.

Having a healthy relationship with money is key to living a purposeful life.  Having financial abundance is not a bad thing and neither is talking about or desiring wealth.  

So when was the last time you entertained a stranger? Do you notice people around you or are you oblivious? It amazes me how consumed a lot of us have gotten with our own lives that we don’t even take time to connect with each other in the most simplistic way, just acknowledging another’s presence or looking in their eyes when we pass them.

If happiness is a state of mind that we can freely choose, why are so many people unhappy? Happiness is a state of mind but more importantly, having a meaningful life is even better. 

Being independent was necessary when I was a single parent but it no longer fits my lifestyle as a wife.
