Listen Boys And Girls: Recent Episodes
Donna Gayles
This podcast is my journey through life’s classroom! It’s my way of speaking to the “inner child” in ALL of us that may have missed a few of the basics due to trauma and other distress and distractions. It’s my way to potentially offer a new perspective onan old situation. Sometimes, all we need is a fresh perspective!

Shifting#Soul2SoulSaturdayThis encore episode of the #ListenBoysAndGirlsPodcast today talks about cutting the VICTIM MENTALITY ! Sadly, these weeds seem harmless and sometimes justified but they too are ravenous. The VICTIM MENTALITY is indeed a monstrous patch of weeds in our growth garden and can be the very thing choking out your potential to LIVE, be fruitful in your efforts and interaction and heal! Sometimes WE are cultivating the weeds that get in the way! We plant poisonous seeds and water them with our fears, irresponsibility and our insecurities!! We have to check our own minds and motives, constantly! Our own unhappiness, lack of emotional intelligence and unhealed wounds OFTEN causes us to lose far more than we gain. The VICTIM MENTALITY causes us to lack maturity and accountability, missing opportunities, hurting ourselves (and others) in the process, when help to embrace being VICTORIOUS is really what we need!! BUT here’s the GOOD NEWS...with constant honesty, introspection and correcting our OWN mindsets and self defeating behaviors (allowing ourselves t o HEAL AND GROW), we can align with our true values and reach our desired outcomes. The pruning project will produce and provide the place for exponential growth if that is our desire!! Let’s choose to bloom beautifully, shall we?

This episode, entitled mountains and valleys is just a reminder that we will not always have amazing mountaintop days some days we will muddle through the valley, but it is indeed a temporary place as we continue our journey to greatness.
We will often get a leading or an functioning to move forward, and we may not always be given all of the information as to where we should go. But if we know who is giving the direction, we should also know that the movement forward is for our good HIS GLORY!!
2024Ward! It’s open door season and time to move forward through every experience that is waiting for you!!
This episode is one with a call to action-MARCH FORWARD out of stagnation and settling! There is so much MORE in 2024! More to be, more to see, more to give, more to receive! There’s a Gift with your name on it, right on the other side of settling! Today’s the day… MARCH!!
It’s LEAP OF FAITH Year 2024WARD! It is time for us to recognize what fear has been holding us back from! This is the perfect opportunity to consider the thing that has been in our hearts to do that has been hindered by lack of faith or fear! The dictionary defines leap as a quick movement. As we move quickly forward in this New Year, let us embrace ALL that this time in intended to yield!
This episode is a reminder that it’s time to shine! This is a reminder to be free from other people’s assessment of your worth. This episode is a reminder that this is a unique time of moving forward we’re in a LEAP year for a monumental Leap of Faith!

IN 2024WARD we have the power to BE FREE from every bondage! To hear this episode go on over to YOUR favorite place to listen to podcasts and check it out!
Freedom from anger is such a needed place of liberation. So much of what fuels the negativity in the world is veiled under the blanket of anger. But what’s REALLY behind the fury? Freedom from anything FIRST requires the acknowledgement of its dangerous clutch! Tune in to part 1 of our Freedom Friday conversation about ANGER!
Taking steps to free ourselves from the bondage of utility. Settling for being useful instead of intentionally being fruitful is a thing of the past! We are moving 2024WARD!!
Sunday Selfie- How do you see yourself? Are YOU a good friend not just to others but TO YOURSELF? This episode from THREE YEARS AGO popped up in my memories, and as I consider in this year of 2023, my year of Jubilee I know there are no accidents or coincidences. Looking back at this conversation, in light of THREE YEARS OF EXPERIENCES, was a complete blessing to me! I needed to hear it so I have to share it with all of you!!
“🗣️Well Hello! Listen Boys and Girls it’s ME Donna Gayles, Chief Storyteller and Teachers Aid in this classroom of life!
🗣️NEW EPISODE ALERT-Tonight the Tuck in At 10 that dropped tonight The 3rd installment of my “Selfie Series: Efficacy” is available!
I don’t think there is a person on the face of the Earth that does not know what a “selfie” is. It is that perfectly created, and curated image that we so willing display to the masses-IF it “looks good.”
IF we are honest, those who have been subject to or participated in this pop culture phenomenon, have had several takes to get that “picture perfect shot”, before it is stamped for approval and posted. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but are the words accurate?
What about the true SELF behind the selfie? Is THAT person fit for display? The next 7 weeks leading to my 50th birthday, I’m sharing my “courageous conversations” with my wo(man) in the mirror, discussing MY self reflection, and introspection as I experience self acceptance on this journey of self love! “The lower the sense of self-efficacy, the higher the perceived burnout. If you find yourself on the wheel of weariness, you will be weakening your personal pulse and setting yourself up to be more susceptible to lowered self-efficacy.”Dr. Jacinta Jiménez, PsyD, VP, Coach Innovation, and author, The Burnout Fix
Whether you’re returning or just connecting for the first time, I’m glad to have you! Learning, sharing, caring, growing… it’s a great way to end your day! But I’m told this was a great episode, so check it out if your impressed to do so. And if you find value, feel free to subscribe, like, share.💞 IF you don’t want to miss this episode that aired on Apple Podcasts, do yourself a favor and press play!

The dictionary defines self awareness in philosophy of self, as being the experience of one's own personality or individuality. While consciousness is being aware of one's environment, body, and lifestyle, self-awareness is the recognition of that awareness.” Understanding self awareness, how it helps us and how to increase it are very valuable lessons that we can never cease to benefit from!

We all have received some good (and some not so good) advice from our parents. As I move into my 50th year of life, I reflect upon many of the things that my mother has said to me over the years. This episode are seven of the most impactful things that I readily recall when I think about things that mom has said to me over the years. some of the things I did not embrace as a child who thought she knew it all, and other things were taken to heart right away, but everything I realized, was said to me out of love, and an intention to protect.
Don’t you just LOVE to laugh?!? What makes YOU laugh? Have you laughed today? Well guess what? Every 1st Sunday in May is WORLD LAUGHTER DAY!! It is a known fact that laughter, decreases stress hormones, and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies thus improving your resistance to disease! Laughter triggers, the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel good chemical endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain! No wonder the Bible says that laughter is like medicine!!
We all have a different path to walk out our life journey. What are you doing to live and live well? What does that mean to YOU? Let’s talk about it boys and girls!
How often do you see things that you don’t like? How often are those things in others? How often are those things in YOU?
We ALL desire to belong. We were CREATED with that need. Belonging is the feeling of security and support when there is a sense of acceptance, inclusion, and identity for a member of a certain group. It is when an individual can bring their authentic self to every experience they are a part of. This episode is a reminder to focus MORE on the things that make us alike, rather than highlighting the things that sever and separate us.
A look back to look ahead! An encore of one of our most popular episodes while I’m on vacation. Enjoy!
As we continue to grow, we must be conscious of the difference between being nice and being kind. A compassionate and forgiving heart is kind, and cautious and calculating heart is nice.
The weekend came and flooded me with emotion: those feelings I enjoyed and some that I wish I never had to feel! The Tuck In At 10 found me asleep, resting my weary soul. But I’m here this morning with our message for the week. “Make it Meaningful”
In this “Year of Me: 2023” we are taking the lessons, learned from last year, and dedicating intentional focus to creating solutions for the problems that we know will come! This episode is a reminder to intentionally choose to be disarming as opposed to engaging the conflict!
Remember when you dreamt of amazing things? Well…. Let’s refocus and make these dreams come true!
What keeps us from having was already ours? It’s a great question with an answer that just might surprise you!
First episode of 2023!! The ending of one year, and the beginning of another is often times the most reflective for many individuals. I usually take a look back over the year, and truthfully determine the lessons that I was given the opportunity to learn. Sometimes we can feel very negatively about the experiences that brought us the lesson so I am choosing not to focus on that, but rather extracting from the lesson, the principal that I need to apply for greater success in 2023. . If God allows, I will be turning 50 this year on July 20. We are 200 days away from the big celebration as a countdown. I am going to be focused on me this year. I encourage all of us to take a break and redirect our focus on the care that we all need for ourselves. By focusing on ME in 2023, I foresee becoming more fruitful, and a greater blessing to myself and others.
Well Boys and Girls we have come to another close of the year and as we end our season, and end our year we end with gratitude and renewed focus! As always, we take this last month of the year to focus on gratitude and the many things we have experienced through the year that have given us reasons to be thankful and opportunities to be hopeful!The topic of my focus and gratitude this week is again, PURPOSE!! When we are doing what the world needs, doing what we love, doing what we’re good at and doing what people will pay us to do we are most aligned with our purpose. Working, moving, and operating in your purpose brings fulfillment that is unmatched. What is YOUR purpose? Are you operating in it? These are thoughts for consideration as we move through our year-end experience, making this “A December to Remember!”We are all on this journey and we ALL have a special purpose!! What we give in positive contribution to the world from our hearts, in any capacity is (in part) our purpose and it will make a difference in the life of another.
Another installment in our conversation about caregiving with a different perspective, an emphasis on GIVING care by holding space and lighting the path for others to move more swiftly and safely on their journey.
Various highlights of caregiving and caregivers for National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, as well as National Family Caregiver Month
Happy National Hospice & Palliative Care Month as well as National Family Caregivers/Caregiving Month! This month we are highlighting the wonderful work of caregiving. Whether you server as a professional caregiver or part of a private family providing care to a loved one, the often misunderstood role of the caregiver is overlooked. We are pausing with the nation in celebration of one of the most beautiful things on the planet, the caregiver’s heart! 💙

This week our reminder is that every “hero” is still HUMAN! Acknowledging that we’re all human doing the best we can in the space we’re in!
Leading with Love and Purpose is the way to BREAKING THE JARS that have held us! Leading with Love takes courage and willingness to do the humbling and sometimes uncomfortable work! WE must do all that we can to enrich our lives so that we are empowered to enrich the lives of others! We know that in terms of our Gifts, to whom much is Given, much is required; BUT, in this episode I encourage you to consider the same concept when it comes to GRACE!!
Throwback episode from the pruning project talking about pruning to grow more fruitful and healthily!!
We are still keeping with our theme this season of "Breaking the Jar" but with Soul 2 Soul Sundays we will declare our commitment to break the jar by leading with Love, come what may! It is no easy task to redirect our intentional energy and effort when we have moved in a way that hasn't always supported our highest good. When we decide that no matter what, we want the best outcomes for ourselves and others, our actions change. As I purpose myself for realignment to that end, I am inviting you to join the journey or continue with me if you have already connected you heart to this passion! I am believing MAY to be a month of motivation, meditation, manifestations, and MIRACLES!! We are all growing older, and prayerfully wiser as each day brings us closer to the end of life's path. No of us know what the future holds but I am certain that no matter what is next, I want to be on the winning side, and we ONLY really win, when we lead with Love and SHINE as we were intended! Each Sunday, we will have a "Noonday Nugget" at 12:00 noon EST, which will just drop a little nugget and be the precursor for our S2S Story "The Soul Summary" post later in the day at 7:00 p.m. EST. LET'S BREAK THE JAR, COME WHAT MAY!!
Welcome to our first Soul2Soul Storytime/ Soul Summary: Friendship Episode What is friendship? What does it mean to you? Who/what taught you the basics tenets of what genuine friendships are? We are so inundated with "friend" requests on this platform and that one, but has the novelty of virtually connecting caused us to lose sight of what friendship truly is? Have we stopped valuing what is valuable for what is convenient and comfortable; or do we value convenience and comfort more than curating and cultivating true living, viable connections? My story today talks a little bit about what friendship valuing friendship looks like for me. Tune in and chime in if you so desire, via the FB or IG pages!
We're excited about our new day and times!

This replay episode for the #ListenBoysAndGirlsPodcast ORIGINALLY aired THIS DAY last year and it was impressed upon me heavily to SHARE AGAIN today!! This is a first but I am certain that someone who hasn’t heard it, needs to hear it today!! As we consider the jars we need to break-self imposed and otherwise, i recognize that INCONSISTENCY is one of those things that encapsulates and makes it impossible to grow and move forward as we should. It was a great reminder for me as well! Do yourself a solid, and check out today’s episode!! Heard on #Spotify #ApplePodcasts #GooglePodcasts #Breaker #RadioPublic #Overcast #pocketcasts t
The episode for the #ListenBoysAndGirlsPodcast this 9th week of the 4th season tells the truth about INCONSISTENCY . Yes, we talked about the ravenous monster weed of INCONSISTENCY during our pruning project last season, but it can be the very thing blowing out our inner light and stunting our growth and potential to SHINE! In our quest and desire to acquire, we lose far more than we gain. BUT with constant gratitude and correcting our mindset to align with our values and our desired outcomes, BREAKING THE JAR will produce and provide the place for our most luminous life outside the jar!! IF you have not heard it yet go listen....

Well boys and girls, we have come to another close of the year and as we end our season, we end with gratitude!! As always, we take this month to focus on gratitude and the many things we have experienced through the year of 2021 that have given us reason to be thankful. The topic of my gratitude this LAST week of December 2021, is LESSONS LEARNED!! We are all human full of frailties and make mistake after mistake after mistake. BUT the Gift of Lessons Learned through those experiences: mistakes, bad choices, forgiveness, sharing, teaching, learning, and growing, reap so many benefits and blessings. Think about all that you have experienced and recognize that God kept you through it all, just so someone else would know that they, just like you, can make it through. We do not go through anything for ourselves alone. The lessons you’ve learned is wisdom to impart to others! These are thoughts for the week as we move through this LAST WEEK OF 2021, making it a December to Remember! As we approach the end one of the most challenging years we’ve ever had to face, we look back with gratitude and forward with hope. You don’t want to miss these last episodes.

BUT the Gifts of compassion, forgiveness, love, serving, helping, supporting, sharing, teaching, learning, growing, resting, changing, and so many others God smiles on and causes us to receive/and give blessings upon blessings. Think about all that you have experienced and shared and all God has allowed you to receive, not because we deserve it, but because we are Loved and Created with Purpose beyond our missteps and mistakes.

As always, we take this month to focus on gratitude and the many things we have experienced through the year of 2021 that have given us reason to be thankful. The topic of my gratitude this second week of December 2021, is RESTORATION AND REDEMPTION!! We are all human full of frailties and make mistake after mistake after mistake. Sometimes, when we sit under that pile of mistakes we can start to feel a sense of worthlessness or feelings of being useless. We talked about PURPOSE last week but sometimes BEFORE we can truly see and understand that place, Re have to be recovered from the weighted rubble of our mistakes and experience REDEMPTION AND RESTORATION! Maybe you are peering from under what seems to be an insurmountable weight of regret or maybe you were appearing pasted the judgements of others and still can’t see YOURSELF the way you were created to be. Either way, there is a time of blessing awaiting you after your place of REDEMPTION! These are thoughts for the week as we move through this December to Remember! You don’t want to miss this episode.

Dr. Cynthia Hickman, Your Proactive Caregiver Advocate, is my guest this week and you don’t want to miss this GREAT conversation!
We, each of us, are on this journey and we ALL need someone to care at some time. Be it a full time caregiver, or a loved one running errands or picking up the slack wherever it may be-it all counts as CAREGIVING!! What you give, in any capacity is an opportunity to make a difference in the life of another.
We are all human with our frailties, hurts, scars and fears. But what we don’t all do, is exhibit the grace and hold space to allow a vulnerable soul to be human in front of us and ask for the help connecting to what they need to figure things out, but we should. We can use our compassion with humility and Grace to truly CARE for others! I’m thankful to have you join the journey through this topic with us.

This week we walk with the wisdom of intention. Understanding that there is a fundamental need in belonging, walking with intentionality surrounding inclusion is key. While we should not self-sacrifice or self sabotage in order to belong we should recognize the value in relevant connection and being part of something bigger! “A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.”

The #ListenBoysAndGirlsPodcast this week talks about the YOLO mentality that’s a NO GO !
Sadly, this adventurous wild weed seems, whimsical, fun, harmless and sometimes even justified but this too is a ravenous thief. The YOLO mantra is indeed a disastrous, dangerous patch of weeds in our growth garden and can be the very thing choking out your potential to LIVE in the now, be fruitful in your future efforts, endeavors and interaction, healing and having a hopeful future!
Sometimes WE are cultivating the weeds that get in the way! We plant poisonous seeds and water them with our fears, irresponsibility and our insecurities!! We have to check our own minds and motives, constantly! Our own unhappiness, lack of emotional intelligence and unhealed wounds OFTEN causes us to lose far more than we gain. The negative YOLO mindset often causes us to lack good judgement AND faith, missing opportunities, hurting ourselves (and others) in the process, when help is truly available!!
Sooooo….here’s the GOOD NEWS...with constant honesty, introspection and correcting our OWN mindsets and self defeating behaviors (allowing ourselves t o HEAL AND GROW), we can align with our true values and reach our desired outcomes. The pruning project will produce and provide the place for exponential growth if that is our desire!! Let’s choose to bloom beautifully, shall we?

The #ListenBoysAndGirlsPodcast this week talks about being TRAUMATIZED AND TRIGGERED!
Yes, this ravenous state of existence is indeed a monstrous weed and can be the very thing choking out your potential to LIVE, be fruitful in your efforts and interaction and heal!
Sometimes WE are cultivating the weeds that get in the way! We have to check our own minds and motives, constantly! Our own unhappiness, lack of emotional intelligence and unhealed wounds OFTEN causes us to lose far more than we gain being TRAUMATIZED AND TRIGGERED, and we miss opportunities, hurt ourselves (and others) in the process when help is really what we need!!
BUT here’s the GOOD NEWS...with constant honesty, introspection and correcting our OWN mindsets and self defeating behaviors (allowing ourselves t o HEAL AND GROW), we can align with our true values and reach our desired outcomes. The pruning project will produce and provide the place for exponential growth if that is our desire!! Let’s choose to bloom beautifully, shall we?

This is our weekly Tell The Truth Tuesday episode for Season 2 of “The Listen Boys and Girls” Podcast! Last season we explored The Building Blocks of Being, this season we START with our talk series Pruning FOR Progress, in other words Pruning TO Produce! We will have a 26 week pruning project discussing the dead branches of our being that prevent us from growing. Keeping true to our original format it is a very back to basics and casual, using the alphabet as our guide. The first 26 weeks of 2021 supports our partnership in pruning because we WILL grow, together! This week our letter is “D”,for the unruly, diseased and damaged tissue of DEPRESSION. Grab your gardening gloves 🧤 It’s time to get to work....
This is our weekly installment for the 26 week conversation, “The Pruning Project”. Talking each week about a branch that needs to be pruned or a weed that needs to be uprooted from our garden of growth! Too often we have allowed things to get out of control and attach to our fruitful areas, killing our ability to produce. Survival tactics no longer work when your goal is to grow and thrive! When we remove the barriers to growth, we change the landscape of our experience, entirely!
The Pruning Project: A 26 week conversation based on the letters of the alphabet talking about things we need to remove from our tree of growth in order to thrive with purpose. This week we are pruning the branch of bitterness and our “For real, for real” Fridays are practical testimonies related to the topic at hand! We’re growing this year by any means necessary! Tune in to hear my testimony about MY bitterness and how it resolved!
In today’s episode we are pruning the branch of “Bitterness”. Often we allow situations that have gone awry to continue to make havoc in our lives. By not addressing the things that we need to address, a root of bitterness is easily able to grow and fester. If we’re honest, many of us can attest to the negative impact of bitterness. What is it? How does it happen? And how do we get passed it? Let’s chat about it!
This is the first episode in the second season of The Listen Boys and Girls Podcast! Last season we explored The Building Blocks of Being, this season we START with our talk series Pruning FOR Progress, in other words Pruning TO Produce!

Keeping true to our original format it is very back to basics and casual, using the alphabet as our guide. The next 26 weeks are our partnership in pruning because we WILL grow, together!

Tune in for my favorite interview, with my favorite girl! She, now at the age of 81, never thought she’d live past the age of 39. She is full of gratitude and wisdom, a smidgen of which she shares here!

NEW EPISODE AVAILABLE NOW!!!
We are at the second to last block in our Building Blocks of Being Talk Series! “Y” is for YIELD! We see this word almost everyday at least once but have you ever taken a moment to consider the larger implications of “yielding”? The concept of slowing YOUR progression on the path YOU selected at the speed YOU decided to slowwwwww down and allow another (The Divine) to get in front of you. To give up your “right of way” for a potentially entirely different direction. Something to consider, right? So let’s!! New Episode AVAILABLE NOW!!
I will be back on Friday to wrap up our topic for the week but today IM keeping with Wisdom Wednesday by sharing with you an experience of mine!! One of the wisest piece of advice that I have ever received was never ask anyone to do something that you would not do yourself! So tonight I was asked to be a guest on a podcast! Check out my interview with James Lampkin on “Conversations w/Lamp”! Follow him on IG @conversations_with_lamp It was definitely interesting being on the OTHER side of the conversation, but we had a blast! Take a listen 😊

Message Moment Monday- Welcome to another week of the building blocks of being. This week we will explore Wisdom. What is wisdom? How do you obtain it? How do you use it? How do you apply it? What are some of the wisest words you’ve ever heard? What are some of the wisest words you’ve ever shared? Feel free to participate in this interactive exploration of what wisdom truly is...
Our practical application of the principle discussed this week. Vulnerability is a powerful gift to give ourselves. When we allow ourselves the opportunity to connect deeply we allow ourselves to live!
This Is our weekly introductory episode to the concepts being discussed. Vulnerability is a word that causes varied responses depending upon the impact of the human experience. Many have stories of devastation behind them having let their guard down; while others have beautiful experiences of deep connection and growth. No matter what the backstory is there are a few strangers to vulnerability. We will talk more practically about this later in the week but take a MOMENT for the message today! New episode available NOW!!
Our weekly practical application of this week’s building block “U”for Understanding. There is great value in understanding AND being understood. Join this “Candid Conversation” with Derek Sanders, Author, Speaker, Blogger and Certified Relationships Coach. Derek is a native Detroiter, now living in Nashville, TN. When asked about himself he said “...I could go on with the usual personal information blast with lofty credentials which does nothing to connect you to me as a person or my purpose. Here’s what you should know ‘about me’ that matters.
“Purpose-Driven dating” is the term I coined to represent dating where marriage is the destination not casual sex or other misuses of opportunites for a meaningful relationship. I still believe in that kind of love. Do you still believe or has a past of failed relationships caused you to lose hope in the possibility of experiencing lasting love?” I believe it takes a certain level of understanding to arrive at that thought process. For that reason Derek and I sat for a “Candid Conversation” about the value of “understanding”, from a perspective of people relating to one another, human to human!
Our weekly introduction to the Building Block focus for the week, Understanding! It is said that “...change begins with understanding and understanding begins by identifying oneself with another person: in a word empathy. The arts enable us to put ourselves in the minds, eyes, ears and hearts of other human beings.” I agree and I also that understanding, on many levels is the block that helps us build better outcomes for ourselves.
WisdomWednesday Today is our practical application of the building block principles of truth and transparency! Join us as we explore what it means in real time to embrace these building blocks. What does truth and transparency mean to you? Feel free to comment on our IG page or Facebook page!
Message Moment Monday! This is our weekly introduction to our concept of the week! This weeks building block TRULY builds on the last. Some of the concepts of self-love are very much intertwined with truth and transparency; so there will be some reference to some of those concepts from last week. Until you are aware of who you are and accept that, it will be difficult to live in truth, or be transparent with anyone. Truth and Transparency are integral parts of meaningful connections.
Wisdom Wednesday: it’s our weekly installment of practical application of our concept. Self-esteem is impacted by so many different things but it is vitally important that we do not allow a flawed standard to be our guide as to how we feel about ourselves. Unfortunately, so many have already had this experience and it takes a lot of work to undo the damage that has been done by the negative effects of low self-esteem. The good news, however is that as long as you have life and a willingness to change all things are possible...
The Message Monday Moment: So many of us claim to love ourselves but we don’t walk it like we talk it. 2013 was the year that I came face-to-face with the fact that I did NOT love myself the way that I thought I did. It was then that I made a conscious decision to make effort to love myself. It has not been easy and the journey is not complete but I’m well on my way; so much further than where I’ve been with so much further to go still. However, the journey is a blessing and with each lesson obtained , more self love is gained!! Have your own story you’d like to share? Let’s talk about it!
Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties;toughness. It is further defined as the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity. In the simplest sense, resilience me one’s ability to bounce back. To be resilient means to be able to withstand and adapt to hardships, including trauma, like this pandemic for instance. In many cases it can be finding a path that leads to a stronger position. This week our practical application of the building block of resilience reminds us that if we battle beyond the barriers of defeat, we can have victory!
This episode discusses the underestimated power of being quiet. So often the need to SAY something is generated from an emotional place. Is that a bad thing? Not always but emotions can take us places we don’t want to be and sadly can drag others right along with us! Silence is an invaluable tool that far too many use less frequently than they should!

Monday’s Message Moments are always about introducing our building block for the week. As we discussed this most interesting and intricate topic of love we will discuss it from varying perspectives. I think it was Kirk Franklin and God’s Property that said it best”....LOVE... A word that comes and goes but few people really know what it means to really love somebody....” Our Candid Conversations for the week will be about just that! What impact does LOVE have on our lives? I believe that love is most vital and life-changing but join us this week and hear what others have to say about this 12th building block!
This is our weekly practical application of the incremental knowledge of our building block experience. The “K” I thought initially would be kindness until I was “divinely detoured” to explore a different concept. “Knowing” or being known is a distinctly honorable experience. The recognition of yourself and others that you are a part of a BIGGER experience is paramount. However, sometimes we are not yet aware or we don’t know for ourselves and there are others placed on our path to ensure that we are enlightened to know and be known!
Building Blocks of Being: “K” is for KNOWING (and being known)! There is extraordinary importance in the art of knowing and being known. Having like mindedness or a kindred spirit with those who are placed on your path to help you and to help others understand you! We are Divinely Designed to experience certain things AND people; KNOWING and being known in those instances is life changing! This week as we explore this concept it will be a blessing to those who are on their journey of knowing! I’m excited about the Candid Conversation this week! Be sure to come back and join us Wednesday!

This episode is our weekly installment of wisdom based practical application and understanding of our Building Block “I” INTENTIONALITY or the act of being intentional. There’s a quote I penned years ago that says “What you do by choice is what matters most.” And what I meant by that is those things that you put thought into and make a decision intentionally to carry out are the things that will change your life. There’s so many ways to embrace the concept of being intentional but one of the ways I want to highlight is how the Divine creates with us in mind! How very intentional He is with us. How Absolutely astonishing it is to consider how things are purposefully aligned to bring us desired outcomes. I am just encouraging in this episode for the boys and girls to consider in retrospect, all of the ways intention has served them and how moving forward, intention can be of service to others in our lives.
Today’s episode is our Message Moment Monday. Simply introducing the focus of discussion this week “Intentionality ”. BOTH intentional and purposive living are monumental components of BEing. We are examining the design and impact of Divine Intentionality and our own . Discussion this week focusing on the POWER of INTENTION!
Join us as Leah and I tackle the “Courageous Conversation” topic of HEALING! There are so many things that damage eyes which require work to heal. One of those areas in my life was low/no self-esteem and jealousy. So many traumatic experiences culminated in my youth with the intent to destroy me but God! Although I was able to live through it there was damage done. By the time I reached high school was already in pieces. I had already been molested/raped, impregnated and experienced abortion, attempted suicide, and so much in between. I had no idea who I was or who I was supposed to be. Expelled from the math science and apply technology program I had placed into from middle school, I entered a “new world” at a parochial school. Full of rage, anger, sadness, loneliness and a monsoon of other emotions, I put on my mask and tried to fit it. I wanted to BE normal but I wasn’t. By the time I intersected with Leah, in MY MIND she was everything I wanted to be but wasn’t. I wasn’t healthy enough to admire her so I hated her because I was jealous. My own journey through mental illness/wellness and healing led me to understand that when I did not know who I was I was not able to TRULY connect with anyone. Mini years have passed since that time until now and miraculously Leah and I connected after many years and developed a genuine and beautiful friendship but this is our very first conversation about why we did not get along in high school. Leah never knew that I was jealous of her she just knew we did not connect. NOW, Leah IS my sister and friend. “Leah is a Licensed Clinical Therapist (LMSW) and a two-time graduate of the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. During her time studying, she gained a bachelor of arts degree in psychology and then later earned her master’s degree in social work with a more in-depth focus on mental health and interpersonal practice. She is also a licensed coach for trauma. More popularly known as "The Mental Reconstructionist," Leah is one of the best at rebuilding people's lives by restoring people's mental wellbeing. "A fish rots from the head"—the proverb resonates with the mental health advocate as she believes that everyone needs to have a healthy mindset. Aside from being a sought-after consultant, trainer, and speaker, Leah is also an active advocate of mental health awareness, climate change, and racial equality. She actively uses her voice to speak against racial discrimination against people of color. She created a subsidiary under her parent company called "BLAQ Playground," a program that helps facilitate healthy and safe spaces for the African American population in the nation for self-discovery. Through the program, Leah has created causes like "Black rainbow" and "Black heart" that stand as symbols of love, support, acceptance, and safety of Black people.” From Fox34.com) Leah created a safe space for me to share my experience of healing in retrospect so today we flashback so that we can fast forward!!
