The average person takes 20,000 breaths per day. How many of those breaths do you recognize?
When is the last time you tried something new? In this episode, I describe the mindfulness benefits of trying something new.
Do you have ways in which you practice self-care? In this episode, I discuss seven ways you can practice self-care. Listen to identify a new way for you to incorporate self-care into your daily life.

There's a corner of the world that will tell you that you should be thankful, and not complain.
This isn't that corner. As much as I believe in gratitude, I also believe in reality. Listen to this episode and understand it's okay to complain.
In this episode, I am acknowledging that motherhood changes us. But we can't dwell on what has changed in our lives so long that we miss out on the joys of motherhood. Because although our lives are forever changed -- no matter how we feel about it -- there are joyful moments happening right before our eyes.
In this episode, I remind you that it's okay to not be okay. You don't have to be that strong, Black woman that our ancestors taught us to be. It's okay to pause, take a break, reflect, and figure out what it is that you need to be better. Because it's with that realization that you show resilience.
If you are wondering how I can help you ease your mind, reduce anxiety or stress, help you recover from the overwhelm this is the episode for you. In this episode, I explain mindfulness meditation and give you an example of an exercise you can you anytime, anywhere.
How often do you do nothing? With no regret? No mom guilt? If you can't remember the last time, let's change that. This episode is about rest and the simple fact that you need more of it.
It takes a village to make it through motherhood. In this episode, I remind you of your village -- your family, friends, and fellow mamas who help you along your motherhood journey. I also share with you a gratitude practice that will allow you to show appreciation for those in your village.
Patience is a virtue is a lovely sentiment -- but a tough practice when you have children. In this episode, I'll explore the reasons why we may lose our patience with our little ones. I'll also give you a practice to increase your patience and decrease your stress.
What is your why? In this episode, I tell you why I started my wellness journey and what brought me here. Finding my why has allowed me to readjust my life to align with my purpose and the things that bring me joy. My Why has allowed me to realize what's really important in my life. In this episode, I will also guide you in a breathing exercise to bring you comfort.
