1. From Hollywood to Mommyhood!!

When I went from carefree, globe-trotting Boss Babe to mommy, I was suddenly in search of a whole new tribe to help me navigate the inevitable fumbles and failures of raising a kid. Shifting gears from red carpets to a gig called ‘mom’ required a whole new game plan. I made my mark as a TV and red carpet host, and you might even recognize me from some of your favorite Tv shows, ‘90s hip-hop videos or hair blogs. Today, I introduce you to my own personal journey as a mother, a professional, and a woman making divine decisions that are rooted in who I am. The most important thing I've learned in this life is that when things are hard, we cannot— as much as we think we can— go around it, we cannot go over it, we cannot go under it… We have to go right through the center.Tune in and listen to the first episode of Mamaste with Tanika Ray. I’m creating a unique sanctuary for the mommy collective where we can amplify self-love and self-care, tips on raising conscious kids, and help each other fine-tune our boundaries. We’ll celebrate the highs while forgiving ourselves for the lows. Because being a mom is the most thankless, exhausting, fulfilling, unpaid job on the face of the planet—and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. In This Episode, You Will Learn:My mission statement and the purpose behind this podcast (04:21)Whether single, married, or in a partnership, a mom is a mom is a mom (12:12)I consider myself a tough, strong black woman—but I was terrified of starting this podcast (14:40)Shout out to the Podcast Accelerator, the group that helped me finally realize my podcasting dreams (15:18)Mommying is a full-on circus act (19:33)If this pandemic has taught me anything, it’s to let go of previous attachments and to live in my greatest truth (21:01)I plan to use this podcast to shine my light on incredible guests and give them a platform to come through to you (25:10)Let’s Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter Hosted on Acast.
