Tune in to hear the Host, Miss Handie, share what’s Really Going On in these STREETS while SIMULTANEOUSLY giving you the TASTY TALK your SOUL’S Palate has been CRAVING.
Let’s TALK!
If you’re a successful single woman who’s dating, are the men you meet in love with your accomplishments or uncomfortable with them?
Does your success seem to be a deterrent for men or an attractor? What’s your experience?
Are the conversations that women have with other women different than the conversations men have with other men?
I’ve been wondering about this lately and examining how much time my female friends and I waste talking about romantic things that need to be discussed outside of our friendship and inside of romantic relationships.
What conversations are you having with men and women and are they different from the ones you have with your romantic partner?
Friends. How many of us have them? How many of us wonder why we’re friends with the people we’re friends with? If that’s a question you’ve wondered about, this is the episode that you need to hear. Check it out and see if any of my perspectives sound familiar and resonate with you and the friendships you’re in now?
Are you active on social media platforms? If so, how often and how do you use social media? I haven’t been as active on social media lately because I’m distracted by many of the ways people have chosen to express themselves on a variety of platforms.
In this episode, I’ll share what I’ve noticed, explain the difference it’s making on many of my friends and I, and reveal what we can do now and next to shift the pattern.
I appreciate you being here. Go ahead and press play.
Something I’ve wanted for a long time has finally happened in my life. I didn’t know exactly when it would happen and there were times when I wondered if this day would ever come and thankfully, it did.
If you’ve ever aspired to free yourself from anything, this episode will either fuel you to keep striving or remind you of the progressive path whence you came.
Put your feet up, press play and celebrate freedom with me!
I recently dated a guy who criticized me because I don’t cook, and I have no interest in learning. The criticism didn’t inspire me to learn how to cook and I discovered what might have motivated me to learn and it’s a really simple way to win big with me. Press play and hear about my latest aha moment.
Constructive criticism is valuable for our personal and professional growth, but sometimes feedback is hard to swallow even when it’s delivered in the most loving ways. Are you too sensitive when others share feedback about your performance at work or your behavior with friends or family? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/misshandie/message
The human being in us often etches dates in our minds based upon the experiences that we associate with those dates. That approach is harmless when the experiences that happened on that date are aligned with fond and delightful memories. But, when certain dates take us to dark places of recollection, the experience can be debilitating and even worse when we make those actions a pattern every year. I recently discovered that today’s date is just that…a date. Press play and discover exactly what I mean and how it may help you to break up with dates that hold painful memories. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/misshandie/message
One upon a time, I hated my job from top to bottom. When I freed myself from that horrible situation, I took the reins on my career and got intentional about creating the good and great experiences that I desired. I’ve been enjoying what I do for a living even though I sometimes encounter difficult people. I learned how to enjoy my work despite others who don’t enjoy what they do. Owning my engagement made the difference. If you hate your job, it’s time to make some decisions that may make you a little uncomfortable now but more joyful later. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/misshandie/message

I have experienced some life challenges that tried to break my spirit. There were times when I almost allowed those challenges to defeat me, but five years ago, I got sick of living that way, so I embarked upon a new adventure that led me here… to the podcast launch of “Gumbo Nights with Miss Handie.” February 19, 2019, was the day I recorded and published Episode One, “Toilet Paper Chronicles.” Five years ago and 100 episodes later, we’re still striving to make gumbo that brightens your days and seasons your nights. Thank you for listening to the podcast and giving me a fun and safe place to heal while you listen to my stories about everything from heartbreak to celebrating life. I hope something I’ve shared with you over the past five years and 100 episodes, has inspired you to move towards your healing rather than away from it. Cheers to another year of enlightenment, entertainment and elevation! I love it here! With much love and honey!

The original version of the film changed my life as a kid and helped me to blossom into a woman who, for the most part, courageously uses her voice to stand up for herself, set boundaries, and express her feelings.

For most of my life, people that I’ve known for long and short periods of time have assumed that they know me better than they really do. There was a time when their incorrect assumptions caused me to audition for them in order to change their minds about the who I am and all that I am. I’ve evolved past the performance desires and settled into a comfortable and confident place of self-awareness and acceptance and if some don’t get me or understand me, that’s their issue…not mine. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/misshandie/message

I recently discovered how easy certain GOOD aspects of my self-improvement have become. I’m not sure when the pattern of simplicity occurred, but it’s worth acknowledging and celebrating. Becoming a better person was like learning to ride a bike...challenging at first with lots of bruises that suddenly and magically transformed into mastery. Are you riding the bike easily in certain areas of your life and not realizing that you’re doing it? Have you worked so hard to become better that you feel like you no longer have anything to lose? That’s what I’m experiencing, and it’s a wonderful feeling! I hope that you’re experiencing it too! 🐝

Many women have been programmed to compete with other women...intellectually, financially, physically, and sexually. That competition is getting us nowhere, and it’s ruining our ability to create authentic sisterhood circles.
No matter what job we hold, where we live, how much money we make, or how we look, all women struggle with a limp of some sort. Having a sisterhood circle that makes us feel safe and comfortable sharing our unique truths, can help us to correct our limp.
What’s your sisterhood circle feeling like? Is it sour or is it sweet?

Leadership has been overwhelming especially over the past year. Now is the time to call these so called leaders to the carpet because we are not being guided the right way.

I often hear single women describe themselves as single as if that’s as big a part of their identity as their name and social security number. I believe that it’s time for single women, who are obsessed with that status, to begin to think of it as merely a box that we check on a form rather than a structure. We are better served by focusing on being and becoming sensational women and describing ourselves as such. When Mr. Right shows up, he will be mesmerized by how sensational you are and ready to change your status from single to taken.
