Girlfriend, let me tell you.
by Coach LaTasha Ingram
I started my podcast with the single black woman in mind. So, each solo episode and interview will be recorded with the intention to uplift, educate and relate to each listener. Listen in as a I share stories and topics that many people choose to tip toe around when it comes to beliefs, relationships, accountability, sex, money habits, parenting and that one bad decision that keeps happening over and over again. I mean, sometimes we have to learn the hard way.

Conversation #117 - I remember when I use to have the most inconvenient work schedules.
One thing I'm certain of is most minimum wage jobs do not care about your life outside of work. Some of the jobs will reel you in by making you think that a great work schedule is available when it's not and then stick you in the worst schedule ever after you've been training from 8am until 5pm,...
