In this episode I talk about just how good it is to feel like I can take a deep breath after the inauguration. I don't think I realized how much I had been proverbially holding my breath. I also discussed our families ordeal with covid-19 and dealing with the fact that my mother has finally been diagnosed with the virus. I share some tips, not as a medical professional, but just as a loved one and caregiver that, hopefully, will offer some insight and some help but always speak to your medical professional.

This week's episode deals with a very deep and important topic...do we have a circle or a circus? Too often, we attempt to make a decent circle out of circus clowns. Then, we wonder why we end up hurting in some way. Financially speaking, though, as it pertains to credit, I discuss the difference between disputing and challenging. They are related, but quite different.

However, there are those who seem to think that they are "trying to understand," but they actually are "trying to understand" from what they don't even realize is a racist lense.

In this episode we do pay homage to civil rights leaders lost this past week including CT Vivian and Congressman John Lewis. We also delve into some experiences of mine with a high school that I went to and racial discrimination, which I kind of didn't realize was racial discrimination (or some kind of discrimination) until recently, when classmates about our experiences. We end up with exposing the truth about something that is called a Point increase Letter. You're going to want to hear this... because this letter does not exist.

In this episode I will be revealing the results of my covid-19 test but also talking about some of what I have found out about covid-19 and what some of the doctors are saying to do for some of the symptoms that you may be attempting to manage. (please keep in mind that I am not a doctor and am in no way attempting to give medical advice.) Also, I will be talking about the all-too-familiar question, "Is credit repair a scam?" There is a lot to consider, and I attempt to go into great detail as I analyze that question.

In this episode I discuss my personal concerns as we exist during this time of global unrest, but more specifically this time of unrest in the United States. Each day, we seem to be holding difficult conversations, but we are also beginning to see people in a different light. As such, I think it's important that we make sure that we are clear about what side we're actually on not a color or race side but a right vs wrong side. I believe we also need to be very clear about what the intended goals of various protests are. during these kinds of times, also, hackers are even more ready to launch their attacks. They are capitalizing on us having our focus elsewhere. Therefore, I also discuss the importance of a credit freeze and how to accomplish it so that we are better protected. There are no complete guarantees, but at least it gives an extra layer of protection which is more than likely going to be necessary.
