Let us know how we're doing Freedom Speakers! Send us a textTrauma does not always announce itself the day it happens. Sometimes it waits, then shows up as flashbacks, isolation, anxiety, depression, and choices that scare you like self-harm urges. Candace Thompson joins us to talk candidly about what that delayed impact looked like in her life, how growing up in a church environment shaped what she felt she could say out loud, and why silence can make pain spread into every corner of your relationships. We also get practical about what helped. Candace shares how writing, poetry, and spoken word became the outlet that saved her life, then turned into a way to recognize other people living with the same hidden wounds. That path eventually led to yeahyoutoo.org, her community-focused work built around one clear idea: connection. We talk about being a “personal GPS” for people who need food, clothing, advocacy, workshops, and most of all a bridge to the right resources when the system feels confusing or exhausting. You’ll hear warning signs adults often miss in kids, why drawings and play can reveal what words won’t, and a real conversation about tablets, phones, and addiction-level dependence that can quietly raise a child while parents burn out. Candace also shares reentry support, including a felon friendly job fair for women reentry with employers, mock interviews, and resource tables, plus what “healing” means to her: living above what happened without giving it power. If you got something from this, subscribe, share this with someone who needs support or a second chance, and leave a review so more people can find the resources and hope they’ve been missing.P2SF Podcast Official Intro By Lay Loe Tha Mos Produced By Chief Ali https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1696215502  www.bnbossn.com  @permission2_speakfreelypodcast  @layloe.thamos, @mochachoco_latte@kweenlandAll merch made by @nessas_crafty_nest,  All music, production, and vocals edited by Chief Ali,  Keep Powering Forward #chiefali 🧘🏽‍♂️🥋🕴🏽🪶

We get real about the quiet cost of distraction, why time is your most valuable currency, and how reclaiming your attention unlocks confidence, progress, and peace at home and at work.We start by naming the drift between who you are and what your calendar reflects. From there, we break down a simple structure that converts intention into results: a focused morning ritual for clarity, ruthless prioritization to protect energy, and boundaries that keep draining tasks and unclear relationships out of your lane.

Let us know how we're doing Freedom Speakers! Send us a textStart with the truth: growth hurts and heals at the same time. We’re coming back to the mic to unpack a season of stretch—expanding a mental health and IDD practice into real estate, building a one-stop ecosystem for care, housing, and transport, and learning to love the uncomfortable seat of being a student again. The story is raw and practical: how we vet craftsmen like we vet clinicians, why a clean scope and a calm timeline save you money, and how the right agent and lender can turn a door that looked locked into a doorway that changes a block.We share the wins that matter and the ones that don’t show up on spreadsheets. A staff appreciation day that lifted morale when deadlines pressed in. A community book bag giveaway—seventy-plus backpacks with real supplies—that reminded us generosity is a strategy, not a slogan. Two projects with names and lessons—Belly Duplex and Abbott Elementary—that forced us to think like operators and neighbors, not just investors. And the honest tension of parenting a teenager who thinks we’re corny while we stack receipts he’ll one day read like a blueprint.Underneath it all sits a thesis we’re willing to be judged by: power isn’t muscle; it’s relationship. Real estate becomes community development when it sits alongside healthcare services, transportation, and local partners you can call by name. Leadership becomes art when you choose clarity over speed, appreciation over ego, and collaboration over isolation. If you’re building a business, growing a team, or hunting for your next brave step, there’s something here to hold onto—and put to work today.If this resonates, follow along, share the show with someone who leads with heart, and leave a review to help more people find it.

We discuss how to express love and gratitude to our partners, and shape these values in our children. We dissect the differences between being a gentleman and having 'grit' and the balance between the two. As we wind down, the conversation steers towards the role of prayer and thankfulness in our lives, and the creation of consistency with our hopes and dreams. Join us for a sincere prayer for those grinding the third shifts and a discourse on expressing our appreciation to our partners. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to improve their communication and relationships.https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1696215502  www.bnbossn.com  @permission2_speakfreelypodcast  @layloe.thamos, @mochachoco_latte@kweenlandAll merch made by @nessas_crafty_nest,  All music, production, and vocals edited by Chief Ali,  Keep Powering Forward #chiefali 🧘🏽‍♂️🥋🕴🏽🪶

Or perhaps wondered about the art of apologizing and the maturity it takes to forgive? Well, you're in the right place. This episode is a voyage through the complexities of interpersonal connections, managing the delicate lines between friendships and relationships, and the courage it takes to communicate honestly.Imagine, for a moment, a time when you crossed the line with a dear friend. Was it possible to go back, to restore that precious bond? We dig deep into these questions, sharing from our own experiences and learnings. It's a journey filled with laughter, tears, and maybe a few awkward moments. But it's real, raw, and revealing. We also talk about apologies - the words we choose, the emotions they carry, and their power to mend or break.And just when you think it can't get any more riveting, we shift gears and talk about something completely different - appropriate glassware for different drinks! Yes, you heard it right. We argue about, laugh over, and test out the best ways to serve drinks at your next gathering. So, pour yourself a glass, settle in, and join us as we navigate the highs and lows of friendships versus relationships and everything in between.https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1696215502  www.bnbossn.com  @permission2_speakfreelypodcast  @layloe.thamos, @mochachoco_latte@kweenlandAll merch made by @nessas_crafty_nest,  All music, production, and vocals edited by Chief Ali,  Keep Powering Forward #chiefali 🧘🏽‍♂️🥋🕴🏽🪶
