WOMEN

Woman. One word, many definitions. In this episode, we discuss what it means to be a woman for us in this generation vs previous ones, how we are learning to balance our masculine and feminine energy, and how to hold ourselves accountable. We discuss the power we hold as women in everything we do and making sure we hold safe spaces with each other at the same time. Rather than competing with each other we should learn to empower one another and be a role model for those who come after us. Let’s embrace who we are to the fullest and always keep our crowns on. This episode is dedicated to all the independent, resilient, and powerful women out there who are making things happen every day.

Get It Back

Have you ever thought about how much power you have? Not so much the power of a superhero or in an authoritative position but rather as a human being. You have power in your relationships and how you decide to move forward with them. You get to decide who has access to your life, your time, and your peace. Sometimes we get caught up in the history with someone or our feelings for them or their role in our lives but if we’re aiming towards healthier relationships in general then we need to be able to decide for ourselves if we need to keep them around. It’s up to every person to decide how to move forward. You always have more power than you think so make sure to get it back.

You Said It

Words are everywhere. They are spoken everyday between partners, families, and communities. There are days when a first word is spoken by someone and for others a last. Regardless, there is so much power to be held in a single word or phrase, more than we give them credit for. It is true that most people will forget what you said and instead remember how you made them feel but that is because of the words you used during that interaction that created that feeling. Words can have either a positive or negative lasting effect on someone and no matter what your intentions are at the time, after a word is spoken you’ll have to live with the fact that you said it.

Too Cold

Are you healing single or are you hurting single? Are you afraid to ask yourself that question? To be honest, it’s ok if you are hurting single because that’s actually the first step towards healing single. Now what does that even mean? Hurting single is when you’ve closed yourself off to dating, you’re saying “f” this, “f” that, and romance just gets on your nerves. Dating itself can be hard but being freshly single and dealing with the aftermath can be even harder. In this episode we tackle the issues that may come up when we become hurting single. As liberating as being single can be it can also become our cage where we shut ourselves out from the world. It can become our defense mechanism and excuse for us to just be too cold.

Beliefs On, Limits Off

Have you ever struggled with your self-talk? Have you ever talked yourself out of doing something because you told yourself you couldn’t? Have you ever stood in your own way and placed limits on yourself because you believed you didn’t deserve something or someone? Well if you have, we’re here to tell you that you’re not alone. Many of us struggle with an internal battle on a daily basis due to our own self limiting beliefs. Although certain things may be deeper than just self-talk, other things can be remedied by changing it and the way we interact with things out in the world. It’s time to expect good things to happen. It’s time to recognize you are worthy of going after what you want. It’s time to have beliefs on and keep limits off.

Is The Time Right?

Feelings. We all have them and to be honest, sometimes they suck. Sometimes you just want to let them all out as soon as they hit you right then and there. But it’s not always the right time or place to do so and you may definitely not be around the right people. That’s the thing with feelings; not only do we have to learn how to deal with them but also when. However, life is about learning how to balance so we also must know the difference between being private and just suffering in silence. This is to remind you that having feelings doesn't make you weak but to always be careful who you’re sharing them with. So before you start letting out all your emotions, ask yourself, “is the time right?”
