We are running this topic back, “Fatal Distractions”! This podcast serves as a reminder to be cognizant of the things that distract us from our purpose. Moreover, this serves as a reminder to eliminate those distractions from our lives so that they do not kill the gift that is within us.
Graduation is a momentous occasion for the graduate and the families. We celebrate this milestone in our loved one’s life and wish them well. However, we must have serious discussions about the challenges they will face as they move forward. Most importantly, we must also give them grace as they learn from the challenges of life.
This podcast discusses my awakening and understanding the change that was needed in my life. It is understanding when the grind ends and when it is time to enjoy what I have worked for. It is knowing when I have made it. My awakening has me learning to live in my new normal.
Grief is not the same process for everyone. What we are learning is that for some people it is a lifetime process in which we are learning to live a new normal.
Sometimes we work so hard to get to where we are that we fail to plan for where we are going after we make it. This is a reminder of to plan for expansion, the people you will need, the long-term plan and the ending. Most importantly, plan for the people that you will allow to be around you and in your circle.
When considering health, often financial health is an afterthought. Given the importance of financial wellness, it is important to ensure financial health is also a priority. Consider financial decision making and its effects when considering your overall health.
When it comes to our relationships, we are responsible for the decisions we make. We are responsible for who we choose. Moreover, we are responsible for the decisions we make in and after the relationship, should it end.
Often our message is overshadowed by the method of delivery. This podcast serves as a reminder to taste our words before we say them, and ensure our delivery is appropriate for the receiving audience. While our words may be true, they may have consequences if not delivered appropriately.
2023 is providing 365-days and 12 months of new opportunities. This time provides us the chance to be prepared for the moment the opportunity presents. Believe, but be prepared when it’s your time.

Although we are at the close of another year and the start of a new one, we must continue aggressively working towards our goals like we are running out of time. With 7-weeks left in this year, if we continue working towards our goals, we may complete them. If we are unable to complete them, we roll them over to the next year and continue working on them.
Each of us are born with gifts. By using the gifts and talents in our hands we have the ability to use what comes easily and naturally to us. We also have to be careful who we give our gifts and talents to. Do not let people take advantage of what you are gifted with.
Going through obstacles is not new to us. It is a part of life. We learn lessons based on our own experiences, we must remember to go back and help our brothers and sisters. Sharing our experiences can assist and save someone else. However, the person must be willing to accept the advice given.
In times of great loss, we must be thankful, especially for the we have life and the opportunity to rebuild. As bad as it seems, it’s not that bad.
Knowing when to re-evaluate your life is important. Moreover, knowing when to take a break or resign is equally important. This podcast episode reminds us to be mindful of what we give our time to and what it cost us. Take a moment to re-evaluate your life and determine what changes need to be made to better yourself.
Sometimes things come at us from all directions, and we find ourselves trying to juggle it all. Times will come when it seems like it is too much too much to handle. This requires us to pick and choose our battles and deal with the gator that is about to bite us. You don’t have to do it all!
Purposeful networking is essential in being successful and maintaining mental wellness. We are accountable for who we allow in our personal space. We are responsible for what we allow to happen to us and around us. We must be intentional and selective and unapologetic in protecting our space and brand.
This episode discusses the dismal outlook we get when things do not seem hopeful. As a result of listening to this episode, it is my hope that you feel encouraged to keep pushing, even in the face of adversity. Yes, things will happen, and things will go wrong but if you hang in there. Even as bad as it seems, it’s still not that bad.
Sometimes we feel inferior to those around us and those that we see because we perceive that we do not have what they have, or we are not where they are. However, you are not inferior to anyone. Your journey is different. Continue to work hard and keep moving forward. The race is not given to the person who finishes first, but to the one who continues.
Often employees are in conflict with themselves over how much control they allow an organization to have over them. This episode addresses those limits and provides insight into how employees should mutually benefit from the employee-employer relationship. Organizations should not be threatened by employees independent.
This episode addresses the fatal distractions that present in our daily lives. Often distractions come and cause us to fall of track. Unfortunately, some of the distractions are fatal. This episode is a reminder to be aware of the pitfalls as well as our responsibility to recognize and then eliminate them.
This episode discusses the real price of fatherhood. With fathers not being present in the homes, it details what present fathers are required to do to support their child(ren). Other areas of discussion include the responsibilities, the balancing act, and overcoming obstacles faced by fathers. This episode is a call to action for the real men/fathers to please stand up and step up.
With another school shooting in our country, the political fighting continues. This episode is a humanistic call to action to protect our most vulnerable population, our children. This episode is also a reminder of how we have been here before, and stating that old familiar phrase of “our thoughts and prayers are with you”, while hoping another one does not happen. It is my hopes this episode will cause a self-examination and a reminder of who is really doing “the will of the people”.
Continuing with Mental Heath Awareness month, I was interviewed by Marcus Campbell of the Diversity Inclusion Podcast regarding mental health.
This episode highlights how we as individuals become so addicted to grinding for success that we fail to realize that when we have achieved what we are grinding for. As a result, we continue grinding and never stopping or enjoying what we have worked for. Due to grinding, we neglect family, friends, and a balanced life because we do not know when to stop. This segment will causes us to reflect on finding the balance of grinding for what we need or want, but most importantly knowing when enough is enough.
This episode highlights the need to be your supporter. It serves as a reminder to always bet on you. When others count you out or give you ultimatums, bet on you. People will promote and demote you at will, however, when you are in control, you become the ultimate decision maker. Even when others try to control you, dim your light, and keep you from displaying your gifts, that is the time to step out and bet on you.
