Hey, welcome back! This was a fun episode to make. I share the lessons I've learned on finding love online. No shame about the whole concept, but it's really not for me. 

I will have many more episodes about love and self care, so please stay tuned to that!

What is an affirmation? In simpler terms, it means to state as a fact or offering of emotional support of encouragement. These help you gently replace negative thoughts that are cluttered in your mind, to more positive thoughts. Affirmations also remind you who you really are! 

I share ten affirmations that you can do everyday to love yourself more. We all have flaws that we don't like, but try not to look at them as a bad thing. The way you may think about your flaws could be beautiful to someone else.

Listen to this whenever you can or even make your own affirmations. For starters, say your affirmations in the mirror. You might laugh at first (I sure did) but the more you do it, the more you will love yourself!

Thank you for tuning in again! 

This episode is all about the impact children had while learning remotely during school. I would like to thank Cody for being on this episode!

I believe the pandemic took a toll on many children's mental health the most. Imagine being a kid and not being able to see your friends from last year and had to wear masks? If I was a kid during this time, I will most likely be in a low state of mind.

BUT that's when positive minded teachers come into play. Cody finds different ways of making the remote class more fun, especially since he knew exactly what the children he taught were going school (he also took an online class during the pandemic).

I also believe that the arts/music industry probably suffered the most . As a musician, I am willing to support that field as much as I can. I hope we can come together soon and collaborate better than before!

I recorded this episode in 2021

Happy Listening!

Welcome back to another episode!

Disclaimer: I want to put this out here because this episode isn't for everybody; some may take offense, some might not.... This topic is an ongoing topic that could take decades to accomplish.

I've always felt uneasy about my race as far as working together and networking. I felt the tension even when it wasn't supposed to be there. But I've finally had the courage to talk about it. Of course, I will have many more videos about this topic and share ways on how to speak up on racial stereotypes and racial equality (yes, in our own race too)!

Think what you want think, but as a community we need to STICK together!

I love you all !

Welcome back! This episode is about a scary moment you've encountered. Depending how you think of the word 'scary', it could be based off of something you went through. I had the chance to talk to Lena again and she discussed a moment that she thought was scary.. I added one of the projects that I submitted in college. This class was actually a podcast class and it inspired me to create Lessons Learned! The music and sound effects were for educational purposes ONLY. I do not own any copyrights of the music, I just wanted to share a scary moment I had with you! Enjoy!

This episode is about the black lives matter movement. So much has been happening in the world and here we are with another white vs. black problem. We need to go past this because spirit has NO color. It's time we all work together and stand with one another.  Some of the guest talk to me about their views on what is currently going on.... I hope you learn a lesson from this :)

Friendships can really make or break us; being friends with someone for years and losing that friendship is honestly harder to take than a relationship breakup! That's why it's super important to communicate everything to your friends, especially if something is bothering you. Holding things in will have consequences later..

This is the first episode I have ever made on Lessons Learned! I started the podcast on February of 2020! Throughout each episode, you will notice how the quality of the podcast gets better and better. Talk about growth!

If you ever wanted to start a podcast, just start! A year later you will look back and be proud that you got started. Everything else you want (investing in equipment, getting monetized, etc) will come later!
