Real Talk With Deb & Nia: Recent Episodes
Deb and Nia
Real Talk With Deb & Nia is a mother/daughter intergenerational deep dive into topics both broad and specific: from home-schooling to life-schooling and young adulthood to elder-caregiving. We share our successes, losses, challenges, and solutions with an openness and vulnerability we hope will liberate our audience (and ourselves) to live life free from unnecessary boundaries, judgement and self-flagellation. Real Talk's goal is to encourage more vibrant communication and provide tools and ideas for relationship-building. Join us on this journey into some of the crucial conversations that lay a foundation for a lifetime of intergenerational understanding and abundant mother/daughter love.Our podcast is dedicated to the memory of our beloved mother/grandmother, Connie, who began the vibrant, love-filled, life-affirming conversations that we continue today.

***Today, neuroscientist Sarah Asquith-Vallance explains why mindset alone may not be enough to achieve the success we desire and why you should consider retraining your brain. Many people, especially entrepreneurs, hit roadblocks in their lives simply because their mindset limits their ability to achieve their goals. However, with consistent effort and reprogramming, it's possible to overcome these limitations by deliberately creating new neural pathways. Join us to learn more about how the brain works and the impact retraining one’s brain can have on our ability to thrive in every area of our lives.

Have you ever felt the pull to make a major life change? Do you feel the urge to quit your job, sell your possessions, book a ticket, fly half-way across the world, and begin anew?
Well, today’s guest did it! Mindset & Emotional Intelligence Coach Tami Jordan was tired of “just surviving”. She was feeling out of alignment with her higher self and desired freedom. She wanted to thrive. So, Tami took the plunge. She quit her job, sold her belongings, left her comfort zone and became a nomadic coach. Since then, she and her adult daughter have lived in Vietnam, and are currently exploring Thailand.
She joins us this week to talk about what gave her the courage to make such a dramatic change, what she’s learned (and is continuing to learn) from this journey, and how those lessons could help others to make their own transition from “surviving to thriving”.

***The past year has been a wild roller-coaster ride for us. We had no idea that our theme for the season (Letting Go) would become the theme of our lives. For the record, we don't believe in coincidences. We believe the intersection of our lives was divinely intended. It. Was. A. Rough. Year.
We needed and used the gifts and wisdom of our guests to thrive through many challenges we faced this year. We spent much of it "letting go" with an intention made possible by knowledge. So it is with gratitude and privilege that we reflect on the sharing and magic of an unforgettable season full of memorable guests.
Join us for a taste of this year's journey and a few sips of the delicious "tea" served up in Season Three. Then, If you're as serious about growing yourself, improving your relationships and supercharging your life in every area as we are, we invite you to go back and drink from the full cup. You are not going to want to miss a drop!
Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE and leave us a review!***

This week, we explore survival, pain, loss, fear and anger. We also celebrate the power of forgiveness, vulnerability, awareness, and redemption. Born and raised in West Philadelphia during the 80’s, Jahmal Allen grew up surrounded and immersed in the devastation of the Crack era. His involvement in the “street life”, from the age of 10, resulted in being arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 15-40 years-- by the age of 16.
While sitting in the hole on Death Row, angry at the world for his circumstances and for what life had done to him, Jahmal had a lightbulb moment. This epiphany would mark the beginning of a transition in him that would change his life.
Today, Jahmal comes to us with a message for all regarding the freedom that comes from accepting responsibility for our actions, holding ourselves accountable for our lives, living from a place of vulnerability and humility, and actively committing to choosing education over ignorance. This is Jahmal’s story. (Part 2 of 2)
Note: In this two-part conversation, while we do not glorify drugs, crime or violence, we do candidly chat about topics surrounding street life. Jahmal openly discusses the case that not only altered his future, but forever changed the lives of the innocent, including his victim and the family and friends of all involved. It is with respect for all and an intention that this conversation be one that affects positive change that we share this thought-provoking “tea”.

***Motherhood is one of the most incredible and gratifying jobs around. It is also one of the most challenging. Raising little humans is tough enough. Add a little internal (or external) guilt and shame, and it’s easy for moms to question their parenting abilities. The struggle of mommy guilt is real, but expert guest Jaime Mathews joins us to offer hope and help for those who are ready to “Let it Go”! (The guilt. Not the kids. 😉)

What are you waiting for? The benefits of budgeting are endless, and now you (and your partner) can discuss money without the tension. Join our conversation with Financial Coach Amy Scott to find out how you can create a financial plan that considers preferences, preserves relationships and supports the achievement of your life goals.
How do we hold the vision of our dreams, especially when others say it's impractical or impossible? How do we maintain our positivity, confidence, determination, and resilience in the face of our doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs? And when the unexpected happens, how do we turn lemons into lemonade? Our guest, Lisa Suswain, believes the secret is staying in our “bubble”. At age 16, against the odds, Lisa secured a spot in the coveted Royal Ballet. However, after an injury made it unsafe for her to continue dancing, she made a graceful pivot towards something new. She applied the discipline and perseverance of her dance training to successfully step into the world of entrepreneurship and achieved even more success than she had ever dreamed.
From childhood, we have illusions of what a "good" mother looks like. She's perfect, beautiful, capable, powerful, loving, attentive, smart, funny, forgiving, a great listener...and can leap tall buildings with a single bound! The reality is it's an impossible, unrealistic and, frankly, unfair burden to place on a mere mortal. Join us as we give moms, and women, permission to slow down, find and nurture ourselves first. Then we'll all have more of our unique magic to generously share with others!
Relationships can be challenging. We all have our own values, preferences, quirks, and pet peeves. So, how can we relate without stepping on one another’s toes? And how do we say “no” to people we care about when we need to do so? "No" is an important word in any relationship. Saying "no" means taking ownership over yourself and your time. This episode welcomes Jillian Christy, a couples’ relationship coach. Join us as we discuss the importance of boundaries and how they can enhance every type of relationship.
In this episode we continue our Community Chat with Dr. Teri Mahaney, PhD. Nia and Real Talk's audience guest, Julie, share their experiences with Dr. Teri's Change Your Mind (SuperSleep) program. Dr. Teri provides perspective, encouragement, feedback and direction for both as they continue their SuperSleep journey. This transparent and informative conversation is peppered with relatable humor and provides a context for the information shared in previous episodes.

Love is everywhere! That's the message our guest, Janet Grace is bringing us this week. After a near-death motorcycle accident, that resulted in myriad of things including: a cracked spine, a collapsed lung, and many, many facial surgeries. The doctors and surgeons told her three things. She would never walk again. She would never have children. And they informed her that they had done the best they could do with her face and only time would tell. But, 20-year-old Janet Grace had a dream, a vision that she always kept front and center. She was determined to be a mother. She was going to be active, and she would not let her circumstances dissuade her. Her road to recovery took her on a discovery of self, the grace of God, and the power that comes from loving more, and fearing less.

Join us as we chat with Dr. Tracey Diner to learn more about electromagnetic fields and what we can do to safeguard our health while still enjoying our technologically exciting world.

***Women's attitudes about and success with money is something that has been researched extensively over the past several decades. Yet, women’s beliefs are often not in alignment with the facts. This is concerning because our money attitudes have a huge impact on not only how we manage money, but they also influence how we make financial decisions. Join this encouraging conversation as our guest, Victoria Sexton, dispels some common erroneous perceptions about women and money. Leave empowered by the truth. Then, share the episode with a friend!

Cameron Huddleston's book entitled, "Mom, Dad, We Need to Talk", captures the full gravitas of the situation families have around money. Finances can sometimes be a "taboo" topic in family homes for numerous reasons including shame, guilt, fear, ignorance, and even overwhelm. However, Cameron brings some “real talk” about a crucial conversation we need to have--ESPECIALLY with our children. Death is a scary prospect for many. Few of us want to think about the inevitable end of our life journey. Yet it's important that our children are equipped with the tools they need to sort out our financial affairs.

Dr. Kathie Mathis, Psy.D, D.D. is a true warrior. A former victim of domestic violence, she knows the pain, suffering, fear, despair, and loneliness that accompany emotional addiction. Yet, she’s more than a survivor of a grotesquely broken marital covenant, she is a leader, an advocate, an inspiration, and a true beacon of light. Even at her lowest points, Dr. Kathie never lost hope, and never lost her faith. After escaping her situation, she found herself alone and penniless, with a six-year-old daughter to raise.
