Wispit by Angela is a podcast designed by an African American female physician for the purpose of giving examples of personal life lessons, experiences, achievements, set backs, and wisps of wisdom. The goal is to hopefully help someone, anyone, who desires more out of this life. Wispit is not a medical forum, but more of an encapsulation of the experiences and words of wisdom of many people, some of whom are colleagues and friends, as a time capsule. In this journey, I will interview people of various ages, gender, race, and socioeconomic status. Although this podcast is designed by a woman, it is not limited simply to women. It is my hope that anyone, and everyone who tunes in, will be enriched, edified, spiritually touched, and moved to bypass the challenges of life, and rise from the ashes of this limited existence to a higher elevation of thinking and creativity. Wispit abbreviated stands for Women and Wisdom in Socially Powerful and Interesting Times! So, Let’s begin this journey together! After all, we sometimes learn and listen more through the examples of others.
Life can be unpredictable. Actually somewhat treacherous. Realistically life is about pain, lies, and what lies somewhere in the middle. Sometimes you just have to concentrate on the good things to take your mind off the bad things. Democracy…. A lie. Justice……. Somewhere in the middle, Racism doesn’t exist….. lie. Equality for all… lie. Money talks, truth, politics is red, blue, or independent…....Lie. The only color that matters is green…..TRUTH.
I will never leave a soldier behind. The world has changed dramatically, and there are wars going on all over the world. There are physical wars, spiritual wars, financial wars, wars about power and corruption. The true definition of a good soldier is one who will never leave his comrade behind, especially a wounded soldier. It requires courage, dedication, and sacrifice.!Yet, so many of us are being left behind, and forgotten because of greed and corruption on all sides. Just because a person has a title, doesn't make them a good soldier. Time and circumstance happen to us all, But in the end, it is the soldier with courage, dedication and willingness to sacrifice that risks all for the sake of his comrades. That is the true meaning of LOVE!!
I don't need to give you the definition of racism and hate in America. We are living this nightmare everyday
!The only way we are going to turn all of this around is by working together. There is no other way. This activated hate is disseminating into everything we treasure as dear. It is affecting our families and communities, in addition to our livelihood.
So America, I pose this question: How long will we tolerate dysfunctional behavior? For dysfunction breeds dysfunction, and that is fact!
A message is a form of communication, either delivered personally or globally. People are feeling the real “pinch” of living in a world where things are no longer affordable, and where human communication is being replaced by artificial intelligence. Solutions are not easily found, and there are more questions than answers. Well, tune in today for a powerful message that will hopefully inspire you towards a real change or a new mindset! Making a difference starts with self!
The time to be prepared is not during the time of the crisis. Lack of preparation exposes to attacks by the enemy. We spend too much time in self-defense mode when the enemy is already at the door challenging our basic freedoms of speech and democracy. Self defense mode is reactive, but critical defense thinking is pro-active.
America has become too comfortable in a failing system that is no longer working. It's like walking down a train track with the train coming 100 miles per hour and refusing to move to save your own life. We are living in a world that has been turned upside down. We have to be prepared for what is upon us. We are now living in a world where we assume that the people in political power will always look out for our best interest. QUITE THE CONTRARY!THE GAME OF LIFE HAS CHANGED! So, will you exercise self defense thinking, or critical defense thinking? The choice is yours, at least for now!
We are living in a broken system. Our country is broke and in debt. Too much trust has been given where it hasn’t been deserved. Our healthcare system has been added to the corruption and greed to equal disaster and brokenness. In other words, BROKE IN A BROKEN SYSTEM. Life is ever evolving, and there is always a problem in one way or another. If we do not heed the warnings, we will continue to be broke in a broken system.
The power of the word, no, is easy to say, but it is a difficult word to put into action. It requires clear and healthy boundaries. It is a necessary word in many occasions in order to have peace, and avoid frustration. The world does not often have boundaries, so they have to be created. Guilt in disappointing others keeps us from enjoying the importance of self-care.
Sitting back and complaining is never the answer. The challenge is to get up and make your voice heard, especially when it comes to the importance of democracy and justice!

"Life Goes On" whether we are ready or not. Some things we choose, and other things are chosen for us. In these days, we have become a bunch of whiners instead of workers. The sense of "entitlement has become the theme of the day. But, in spite of it all, there is HOPE!

Have you ever found yourself putting a patch on something to hold it together until you could get something better or stronger to fix it or until you could get back to it? Well, patches are meant to be temporary not permanent.
What does genuine happiness look like or feel like? Is it the representation of wealth and materialism, or is it about genuine relationships, and open conversations that build community and each other. Well, the world seems to be migrating away from the latter. But, there is hope!

Don't let the world minimize your worth. You are valued! You need to tell yourself everyday........ I AM SOMEBODY, AND I MATTER IN MY LIFE. I can move past hurt, and brokenness, and rise like a phoenix.
The world expects you to be angry and frustrated. It never expects that you will think yourself out of situations.

Begin with self in being the format for change.
