Song of the Day: Keep Ya Head Up by Tupac Shakur Well ya'll, this episode may be the toughest one I've had to record. For those that don't follow me on socials or are just joining us, I lost my father this past month and it's been a process of adjusting to a "new normal". It's important to allow yourself to sometimes have "no words" during difficult times. I've been working on drafting a new normal, and finding small moments of joy, with support of my caring and outstanding community. Here's a reminder... don't forget to focus on self-love and self-care when we navigate rough waters. I sincerely thank you all for the continued support.

Song of the Day: Paradise by Bazzi This week we're talking about picking up the shovel. What does that mean? Picking up the shovel is what we need to do to achieve our goals and manifestations, rather than just relying on prayer or affirmations alone. We need to step out of our comfort zone and address any discomfort or resistance in order to move forward and become the person capable of receiving the desired blessings and manifestations.

Song of the Day: Right by My Side by Nicki Minaj Feat. Chris Brown This week we're talking about the importance of having a "dream team" - a support system of people who can help guide and support you through your personal development journey. This team includes roles such as the "safe pessimist," the "eternal optimist," the "no strings attached believer," the "hype person," the "containment person," and the "abundance people." I say it doesn't hurt to have a therapist or coach as part of this team too! Having the right people in your life is crucial for success, especially on difficult days.

Song of the Day: The Night We Met by Lord Huron Today we're talking about LOVE. Not romantic or plutonic, just love. I have always been one to let others know I love them. Love you, mean it has left my mouth more times than I can count because I think its's important to let others around us know that we love and care for them. Love has often been an energy that people hold on to and save for "special occasions or special people" but love is a energy we can keep creating, why not spread it like glitter.
