Life in itself is enough to have us in a difficult state of mind from day to day, but when we take on more than we can process or handle, it can make us feel like someone we are not. Join Latonia this week as she tackles the BLAHS and helps us address those things that can make us not feel like ourselves!

In a society where you can get medication to alter your emotions, how much more is it to just be a good girl and smile lije everyrging is ok; even when it's not. Is it healthy to put on such a front? Is it better to just put on that smile than to live your reality? Find out from Latonia this week her perspective on this topic on this special Christmas edition! Happy Holidays!!!

How is it that the people we share intimacy with sometimes are the people we know the least? Can we be so easily betrayed by the ones we truly trust? It is deeper than someone showing us what they want us to see. Listen in this week as Latonia breaks down the betrayal of the wolf in disguise. This week's episode is inspired by a post from Latonia's friend, Charlesetta Lewis and dedicated to the passing of a dear friend and mentor!

Money is not evil but the love of it is. Whatever we are, good or bad, money gives us the means to either do the greater good or fulfill the grosiest of fantisies. It can be hard to believe that the people we watch on TV, listen to their songs, or laugh at their comedy can be people that molest and traffic children, beat and rape women, and participate in unspeakable crimes but is it hard to believe it because of who they are or because its hard to believe our favorite personality could do such acts. Join Latonia this week as she does commentary on Perverts and their money!
