“Don’t make decisions when you’re mad.” We’ve all heard that quote but how many of us have actually followed it? Truth is, it’s easy to get lost in our emotions when we’re upset and act impulsively. However, most of the time it isn’t effective and we end up regretting our decision. In this episode we break down the importance of taking the time to process and reflecting on our emotions before making decisions. This episode will serve as a reminder to slow down.

Would you consider yourself a strong person? If so, how would you describe that strength? It would probably vary from someone else’s description who bases it on their own experience or values. Although strength looks different for everyone, it also most certainly has its limits. In this episode we talk about redefining the term strength and debunking the myth that being strong means untouchable or unbreakable. Regardless of how you define it, remember that you carry it well.

What do you think of when you hear the term “having thick skin?” We hear it all the time about how we have to be strong and learn not to react to everything or take things personally. If you’ve ever tried to do this then you know it’s easier said than done but still an important skill to have and learn regardless. In this episode, we focus on what it means to have thick skin, how to work on it, and our own experiences with it. It’s not about never letting things get to you but rather working on what situations deserve a response from us and learning about the other people involved. When you work on it like a muscle, you start to learn about your resilience and how much these situations don’t have to hurt. You learn that you have more power than you think and that’s what is going to carry you through.

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.

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.

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.

This week's episode is about reconciliation and whether or not they are worth it.
