Learning Life This Way: Recent Episodes

This podcast will feature solo as well as interviews discussing life lessons we've had to learn. We will discuss what we learned from them, what we loved about them, and how we grew from them.
I've been feeling like I've been going through it the last few weeks. So I just had to use this episode to convince myself to keep moving forward.

Hey!! I'm back into the swing of things. Most of my kids are back in school so I'm back in my "studio." Haha!
This summer has been eye opening in my personal growth. I realized that people pleasing to teaching others that my feelings are not as important. So I have started being a little "selfish" and putting me first.

After the last few weeks, I've been thinking about how I can no longer dwell on the past. So I am no longer analyzing how others have treated me in the past. Now I am only focusing on how things will be moving forward, if they are ever going to be part of my life again.

This week I share how my husband's pattern of walking away from family has rubbed off on me. In marriage, it is not hard to have some of your spouse's tendencies to start to influence you. So I get into how I witnessed the blatant disrespect my father and my family was shown during my uncle's funeral and why I am walking away from certain family members.

This week I received some sad news of my uncle unexpectantly passing away. In my grief, I started getting angry about things that have not bothered me in a long time. Nothing to do with the sadness I felt for losing my uncle. Recognizing this helped me to snap out of it so I no longer was staying in a low vibrational state.Millennial Mindset – Unleashing Inner Peace & Transforming Tomorrow Prompt Journalhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6BWSDLX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_asin_title

I was asked to share a story on a radio show about a time I was in South Beach and the camera crew from Girls Gone Wild came in to start filming. My friends and I refused to be recorded so we would stop dancing as soon as the camera was facing us. I didn't want to risk my dad watching TV at night and seeing me on one of those commercials. Imagine the shame I would have felt. Not only from me, but more importantly from myself.
So this week I share when it's worth to have a little shame in order to make better decisions for your life.

This week I share how my oldest son really tested "my gansta." I noticed recently how his behavior was changing at home and how he was speaking to my husband and I. This was not something I was going to tolerate especially coming from a six year old. All I could think about if I let this behavior slide, he would think it was ok to act like this outside our home.
So talk about what I contribute to this behavior and how my husband and I are working on it.

This week I revisit the conversation about being a stay at home mom (SAHM). I share how I prepped for this lifestyle change knowingly and unknowingly. This does not have to be a decision only for wealthy people. There are some sacrifices you have to make; however, it can be very rewarding being able to have this time with your children. I discuss how we make our finances work such as when we saved, downsizing our vehicles for awhile, and living off one salary before we had kids.

It's been such a busy summer, but I wanted to check in to say new episodes will be coming.
We're in the dog days of summer and back to school is approaching. I've finally stopped thinking the future will be easier and appreciating my present. So I'm enjoying not having to wake to an alarm or having to drop off and pick up. Even though this mama needs a break from entertaining kids, I am loving the freedom of my schedule.

Your worth and identity should never be determined by the opinions or validation of others. Stay true to yourself, even when others fail to recognize your value. Embracing who you are, with all your strengths and imperfections, is a powerful act of self-love and self-respect. Don't compromise your authenticity for the sake of pleasing others. Remember that people's perceptions and judgments are often a reflection of their own insecurities and biases.
Don't let their lack of understanding or appreciation discourage you from being your authentic self. Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you for who you are. Seek out relationships that value and celebrate your uniqueness, rather than trying to change or diminish it. Ultimately, the most fulfilling and meaningful life is lived when you honor your true self. By embracing your authentic identity, you create the space for personal growth, genuine connections, and a deep sense of fulfillment that no external validation can provide.

Mommy guilt is a common feeling experienced by many parents, and it's important to remember that you are doing your best and that it's normal to have these emotions. Remember, being a parent is a challenging role, and it's natural to experience mommy guilt from time to time. However, by practicing self-compassion, seeking support, and prioritizing self-care, you can alleviate some of these feelings and embrace the joys of parenting.

In this episode I discuss the magic of journaling. It's a powerful tool in self-reflection and personal growth. I've been writing my thoughts since I was a child. It has always helped me express the feelings I didn't feel like sharing with others. Journaling has been a way that I have gotten through some rough times in my life. But it has also been a reminder to appreciate the present moment. From gratitude journals to brain dumps to anger pages, handwriting in a journal and/or diary can help you unlock the key to a more fulfilling and introspective life.Please share your thoughts on this week's episode with me on my IG at www.instagram.com/beingshannondora or send me an email at learninglifethisway@gmail.com.

This week is a quick little mini episode but one worth hearing. I get into how to move on when others show you that you don't matter to them as much as they have mattered to you. It's ok to be disappointed, hurt, or even angry. Feel the feels. Just remember to lean into the people that have shown you that you matter. Know that you are loved. Let the others just go on to live their lives.

This week I get into a situation with some family members. They were arguing about something really didn't mean much but at the root of the argument was so much more. Sometimes years of resentment can fester for so long then one little can blow it up. I've learned by taking a step back, you have a chance to take an assessment of what's really going on so you know how to communicate how you feel.

There are so many aspects to consider when you are with a partner who has children from another relationship. How well do you get along with the other parent? Does the biological parent help set the tone for the relationship? How much do you get involved in their dynamic? How do you navigate when you are entering a family and you have your own set of beliefs? This week I get real about my experience being a step parent, especially being the "new woman." It definitely takes work from all parties involved, but it also doesn't have to be a terrible experience. I also talk about how I overly gave of myself because I was afraid of being labeled the "evil stepmother" that it led me to starting therapy.
How has your experience been being a step parent? Or if you have a step parent how has your relationship been with them? Did your biological parent encourage you all to foster a relationship?

This week is a conversation I have with my best friend, Natasha, about going to therapy. This is a topic near and dear to both of us. We both started our journey in therapy in 2020. I started due to trying to navigate life having a blended family and she having to deal with corporate America. As Black women we often can feel we are expected to carry the weight of the world while simultaneously getting blamed for all the problems. We share when we realized we needed to go and how it has helped us to continue to get through life. We have found that even when nothing major is going on in our lives, it still helps having an unbiased "sounding board" to confide in.

Besides a healthy eating plan and exercise, stress management can also aide in losing weight. Having cortisol (stress hormone) out of balance can be a huge factor in not dropping the extra weight. So this is one of the ways I am trying to holistically get back to my ideal size. In this episode I share a few things I am doing to manage my stress.

Beware! This episode comes with a trigger warning! I get into what happened in my last pregnancy in 2020. Originally, I was pregnant with twins but we soon discovered one of my babies had a severe chromosome disorder. The reason I chose to tell this story now is because I recently discovered that the trauma of that experience is still affecting my physical body.
Later in the episode, I share my thoughts after I had a reading from Soul Worker Stacy Renee. I appeared on the Miguel & Holly Uncensored podcast on January 27, 2023. That reading brought some comfort and closure to what happened.

In this episode I discuss how I manifested the activities I did for my 40th birthday. I'm definitely not an expert, but I'm learning to be intentional about my thoughts and words to create the life I desire. Like I mentioned in the intro, you will hear my kids in the background of this episode. I thought I could record before they came upstairs. I thought wrong! Haha! I hope that you enjoys and feel free to share your experiences with manifesting.

Welcome to Learning Life This Way podcast! Today's episode I talk about friendships and when you know it's time to walk away. Thankfully we have become more aware about setting boundaries for ourselves. Unfortunately, sometimes we give people a pass too many times because we consider them friends. It's not to say, everyone should be perfect. But when we start to see signs and how they treat others, we should take an inventory of how these friends are showing up it our lives. Or how do we show up for them.
So I hope you enjoy!

This week's episode I go into it was like attending an HBCU. I explained why I made the decision and my experience like graduating from Hampton University. I know my experience is not only unique to HU, but I am certain it applies to most Historical Black College and Universities. So it you ever went to a HBCU or currently attending one, I know you'll can relate. If you are thinking of applying to one, I hope you find it useful.
As always, if you have any questions or want to share your experience, please email learninglifethisway@gmail.com or hit me up @beingshannondora on IG.

Hello and Welcome to Learning Life This Way Podcast. I am your host, Shannon Tamez. In this podcast, I will be sharing life lessons I've learned along the way. I will be discussing what I learned from them, what I loved about them, and how I grew from them.
Some of us may be in similar situations in life, but we've taken many different roads to get there. I want this podcast to serve as a friend to know you are not along. As well as give you different perspectives.
Somehow along the way, I became very self aware of how I see the world and how I want to be seen. I hope to take you along with me on this adventure.
If life is hitting you with a curveball and you would like some insight, I would love to hear from you. Please email your questions to learninglifethisway@gmail.com or find me on IG @beingshannondora. Please don't forget to rate and subscribe to the show
